I may be under-thinking his, but how about an off-the-shelf cigarette-lighter inverter? These are available in any desired power, and a 200 watt one is pretty compact. Just throw a bridge rectifier after it with a filter capacitor, and perhaps some sort of post-regulator if necessary, and you're done.
If you're feeling adventurous, you could hack into the circuit and just run directly off the DC bus that it already has internally... ~~ Mark Moulding On Tuesday, February 9, 2016 at 8:58:41 PM UTC-8, Phill Scan wrote: > > Hi all, > I hope you didn't click on this post hoping to find such a circuit. > > It's actually what I am looking for ! > > I want to drive 100 IN-9 Nixie's in a circuit. > So based on say 12mA per tube Max at say 150V I am going to need a LOT of > current. > 1.5A has a sufficient safety margin (I think). > > I don't think lot's of little charge pump style circuits are going to be > the most efficient way to run this ! > > I was thinking of running it off a 24VAC Plugpack ?.
