hi guys westdaves here ,still glowing after "three neurons "story of me pinning the geiger counter at the TRW (is true) but about the nimo tube ,i have a few of them and the original power suply but hey ,what kind of IC or transistor do you need to control them by COSMOS, TTL, or microcomputer (para lax,A dumbo,avr ,pic) 2500 vdc seems hot,but they are little CRT's are there opto isolators at 2500 vdc(this would be a good place to start!) so yea nimos ?????
under rated but oversize,just my two cents but the nixie tube that is often overlooked,are very lovely in size and use,not all that hard to get , the big round tube B6091(.8 inch,18mm) fits into the same socket as the zm1040(30mm),B5092(.6 inch 12mm) i like to mix them with the B5092 ,like HOURS (1)B6091 (1)B5092 MINS, (1)B6091 (1)B5092,SECONDS, (1)B6091 (1)B5092 -----Original Message----- From: neonixie-l <[email protected]> To: Digest Recipients <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, Nov 7, 2011 12:32 am Subject: [neonixie-l] Digest for [email protected] - 10 Messages in 3 Topics Today's Topic Summary Group: http://groups.google.com/group/neonixie-l/topics Interesting swap meet find today [4 Updates] Looking for NL-6844A [3 Updates] 2.5kV power supplier for Nimo tube [3 Updates] Interesting swap meet fi Thanks, Chuck Richards 2.5kV power supplier for Nimo tube marcin <[email protected]> Nov 06 01:55AM -0800 Hi All, Recently I acquired couple of those Nimo tubes. And now of course I would like to test them. Nimo needs 2.5kV DC @ 35 uA of anode voltage. How to generate this kind of voltage? The current is almost nothing. Would it be possible to use 10+ stages of voltage multiplier starting from a regular switching Nixie power supplier? Or rather should I look into designing something myself? Probably as a fly-back transformer? I would be grateful for any suggestions, solutions. Cheers, Marcin "Tidak Ada" <[email protected]> Nov 06 03:22PM +0100 I know somebody, who has an original NIMO kit, including PS. I will ask him to contact you eric -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of marcin Sent: zondag 6 november 2011 10:55 To: neonixie-l Subject: [neonixie-l] 2.5kV power supplier for Nimo tube Hi All, Recently I acquired couple of those Nimo tubes.

Cheers, Marcin Nick <[email protected]> Nov 06 06:33AM -0800 CW multiplier is the obvious (and cheap) way... especially at that low current. I have a few of these too, but have yet to light one up... so many things to do, so little time ;-( Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
