John, Did you make the neon tubes yourselves? eric _____
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Rehwinkel Sent: dinsdag 22 april 2014 23:36 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [neonixie-l] Fake gigantic nixies Has anyone used discrete bulbs, illuminated tubing, etc to create large digits that look like a large nixie tube ? Yes, I know it's a form of blasphemy, but I'm highly doubtful anyone could make a true nixie tube with 10- or 15-inch symbols. For my next project I'm thinking of using a bunch of NE-2 bulbs arranged to form digits. Definitely NOT 7-segment or 14/16-segment, 5x7 matrix, LED/LCD screen, CRT, etc. It really needs to be neon. That's what they used for the people counter at Evoluon - giant nixies made of neon tubing: http://www.dse.nl/~evoluon/evoluon-nixie.jpg I'm tempted to do something like that myself, but on the 10-15 inch scale you describe. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
