Hi Paul, I have seen a few of your clocks on eBay, I do like the test equip sawn-offs - I have a Venner counter here that would go nicely like this but it is such a nice bit of kit as it is... Nice to see that there are a few of us in the south of the UK, guess we will all be battering down the hatches today if the news reports are anything to go by - just hope your clocks have battery backups ;-) - Ax -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.

Re: [neonixie-l] How exactly does mercury increase Nixie lifetime?
Hello From my chemistry days I think there is a complementary explanation to the coating of cathodes with Mercury and for mercury vapor inside the Nixie. It takes less energy to energize mercury atoms than energizing the atoms in the penning mix (Neon and Argon). This principle also led to the development of the fluorescent tube. In this way the mercury atoms form part of the thermionic emission releasing electrons with UV wavelenghths which collide with and ionize the noble gas atoms inside the tube to form the resulting plasma by the process of impact ionization. As a result of avalanche ionization the ionized gas increases its conductivity rapidly and a current is able to flow. Mercury also has the benefit of stabilizing the ionization voltage as well as increasing the life of the cathode. On Thursday, 13 February 2014 19:32:10 UTC+11, Dalibor wrote: Hi, the mercury adheres to cathode surface and because its molecule is heavy, it is less likely to be relieved from the cathode by electrons bombarding the cathode (compared to relatively light molecules of Fe, Ni, Cr - stainless steel).. The lifetime of mercury doped nixies is 200.000 hrs, tubes without mercury have 5.000 hrs (MTBF value from datasheets). This is a theory.. The lifetime otself depends on many other parametrs, eg. size of the hole in anode grid or shape of the ceramic insulators between numbers.. My experimental tube without mercury is at ~1500 hrs, no signs of metal deposit on glass, some deposit of shiny metal on ceramic insulators - the resistivity is not measurable yet (300 Mohms). photo: http://tinyurl.com/n5o5bau Dalibor 2014-02-13 8:44 GMT+01:00 Kevin Keith krfk...@gmail.com javascript:: I've seen references and claims to this fact, but never an explanation of the exact mechanism? So, with that said, how *does* mercury actually reduce cathode poisoning/sputtering damage? Are there any potential alternatives?

I'd like to find a small-height dekatron to match the QS30-1 profile, something like the Z504S, ZM1070, or 8433. Does anyone have a good source for low-height selector dekatrons with a B13B base? Each clock will need eight dekatrons, and I plan on building two clocks. The finished product will have two rows of seven tubes, the first 6 in the top row nixies and the rest dekatrons.
