Hi all, I finally find the book and scanned it, I am going to share it with You, but I have to first remove all signs of the library where I borrowed it ;-) I should not be illegal, it so old book..
I am also preparing a workshop for making nixie tubes at home, I am at the same point as Dan, leaking system ;-) You can watch my progress on http://dalibor.farny.cz I try to share all info, even sometimes too briefly and delayed.. As for the other questions here: - gas mixture search for "Penning mixture" - it is called after its inventor Penning (and Addink). It is Neon and Argon 0.01 - 1%. More or less argon increases breakdown voltage. - anode material use stainless steel, 0.2mm thick, photo etching - cathode material Cathode material has big influence on breakdown voltage (the same gas mixture: Molybdenum cathode 150V, Fe cathode 240V) I plan to use stainless steel 0.1mm thick (316L low carbon, vacuum casted). I disassembled a Z566M tube and did some tests on cathodes and I think it is stainless steel, Molybdenum would be much brittle and wouldn't melt in 1900C flame as this did.. - cathode distance use the same distance as in commercial tubes, somewhere around 1.5-2mm should be OK. more in Weston. - gas pressure 30-40 torr, higher is better, because it prevents cathode sputtering = longer lifetime, but higher pressure also means higher breakdown voltage and higher power consumption.. Vladimir, Dan, where are You from guys? I am from Czech Republic..
