He has interesting username... 
matveynaibay

Matvey it's a regular russian name, but naibay - not means on ebay or 
something. 
In russian naibay means - to cheat, to screw, to deceive.

Disgusting...

Me from Tel Aviv area, Israel.
Love vacuum tubes from both sides - electrical and aesthetic (i'm designer).
Thank you for the information, and of course for the hard scanning work! 
You have beautiful blog with good pictures!
As Vladimir sad Kovar (Rodar) alloys work the best with the borosilicate 
glass.
You can try to make the kovar glass metal seal by yourself, but it's little 
bit problematic to get the material. 
If you want to experiment I have some amount of kovar wire and  I can share 
some for free.
Anyway, try to flatten the metal in the place of seal, it will release 
glass tension.

Hi Dalibor,

Yeah it's mine :) , if you want i can send you some amount of Kovar wire to 
experiment with (you don't need to flaten the Kovar) so it's easier. And 
you can weld other wires to it.

2012-05-11 Thread AAKA (Daniil)
Thanks (about designer) :)

About Kovar, give me your adress and I will send you (to email of course)

About webpage I don't have, now I'm studying Master's degree so I 
completely have no time to make one. 
All my spare time goes to build my little home workshop and it goes very 
very slow...
Maybe in summer...

(Just an idea)
My first thought was when I came to this forum and saw that there are 
people here who are trying to make tubes, is that we need to create some 
sort of web page or Pdf document which brings together the information in a 
simple way about creating tubes and nixies, I know that is very big amount 
of information - but we can cover at least a very basic information to 
begin with, about, lets say - glass types some information about gas 
mixtures used in nixies glass metal seals basics, pressures and what sort 
of vacuum pump is needed and ... etc.
For instance I still don't know exactly what kind of vacuum pump I need to 
purchase... and searching for the information sometimes takes sooo long 
time...
So in the end it will simplify the process for those who are interested in 
creating lamps.
I can offer my skills in graphics, 3D and animation.
Dan.

yep, I hope I get something glowing soon. 

 - I want to see the process and of course results, good luck!!!
I'm thinking now what kind of vacuum pump I need. Evacuation before filling 
gas what it must be? 10(-4) torr it's enough or I need more high vacuum?
What is the process steps to fill the gas mixture in to? I'm handy with all 
glassblowing but process of evacuation and filling with gases is new for me.
Sorry for noob questions.
