You might also want to look at VFD's. These require a low filament voltage (usually 1.2V to 5V) and a slightly higher voltage to activate the segments - something like 20V to 35V. These tubes range in size from fingernail to soda-can size, and even the largest can be tested with just a few batteries, like 3 9V batteries in series, as well as whatever is needed for the filament. Here's one of the larger types: http://www.decadecounter.com/vta/articleview.php?item=1071 And if you want something truly bizarre and high-voltage, there are devices like the ITS1A, which uses 50V, 100V, and -300V supplies, but the segments are directly controllable with TTL logic! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
