I've regenerated somewhere around twenty GS10H's this way and a few
6909/6910/GC10D's, less rare dekatrons I just put in a box for future
regeneration, and they have not stuck while they have been running, but I
only run them for short periodes like a few weeks at most so I really don't
know
They are cute !
Make more and do a Binary Clock. Use relays/valves if you don't want to rig
semis for the 550V+ .

I've wondered about using little to92 triacs to run nixies from,you
can get them up to 800v fairly cheap, you'd need ac to power the tubes
of course.

Wouldn't it be possible to use a biasing network with resistors like they
used to do when transistors couldn't handle the 170-180V that a Nixie
needed in the early days? Or perhaps run the Nixies from a
positive/negative powersupply split in half with +/-275V and a biasing
network with
Nice one Jens! I'd go for the binary clock, why not?
I was thinking, is it possible to use a high voltage SCR in series with a
lower voltage NPN in a construction like this:

The NPN can then turn off the SCR, so you can use a normal DC power supply.

First of all, well done ! Good work :)
I know the digits are made of dumet wire, what plans do you have for trying
other materials ?
I have read previously that molybdenum wire, or molybdenum coated elements
in tubes are often used.
Is something like this suitable I wonder ? I see it is being
Good job Jens!
Molybdenum is not suitable for our purposes, it has low sputtering, but is
very difficult to weld because of the high melting point. If You can get
even lower sputtering with stainless steel electrodes in combination with
mercury filled tube. This is the way how were the latest
Hi all-
Please pardon me mentioning a non-nixie display, but I thought some of you
might be interested in this listing of MDL2416 displays:
Its working, properly now. Both at low current (~350uA) and at its
specified higher operating current (1.5mA), in both the pendulum and
spinner. Never got around to trying the alternate anode trick. Just left
it in the pendulum circuit for the last 3 or 4 days, 24/7. I'm keeping
that anode
Keep up the good work !
If you need have some DXF files (vector format) on the digits you want, or
a image of the whole set, in a raster format, throw in my direction. I'm in
good with a guy that owns a steel cutting laser. 4000W of CO2 goodness.
He'll run small jobs for me for nothing, as
Hi guys,
thanks for your advice. I think the problem is the one Dalibor pointed
out: with Dumet wire the sputtering is very high. Also, since I am using
no noble gas (except for the less than 1 percent there is in ambient
air), the cathodes are having a much harder time anyway. So for now I
