These need DC at a couple of thousand volts - I've seen them run of much higher voltages via an induction coil, e.g. a Ruhmkorff coil which can produce 10KV & a lot higher (over 100KV)
I think a Royer oscillator driving a LOPT or similar with an HV diode should do the trick. They are still being made - there are Chinese ones about for about 20 bucks or so. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
