I wanted to try this out for quite a while but didn't have a spare module available to actually try this out. It might sound an impossible thing to do but yes, it can actually work! A nixie watch running on a 3V CR1216 battery. The tubes are obviously not very bright, but it is clear the whole circuit runs, keeps time and can display this on nixie tubes.
Total power consumed by the circuit is about 13.5mW (2.4V @ 5.6mA); tube voltage is 125V average and current approximately 30uA (calculated) per tube. Close to nothing, but obviously just enough to display the digits. I shot a short video that I uploaded to youtube. For some reason the aspect ratio is a bit screwed up, but that is a minor detail. http://youtu.be/-r2oderqCOw Michel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
