*If everything is properly connected*, even an internal short in the 74141

Your biggest risk is a hookup error, or possibly ESD damage to the Arduino

Thanks! It looks like the leads were clipped, so I believe no desoldering 
was done. The cathodes look extremely shiny/polished, so my hunch is that 
this calculator just sat in some Ukrainian basement collecting dust, maybe 
used every once in a while. 

Another question, I bought a six pack of russian 74141s, but haven't had a 
chance to test them out. Is it safe to drive these chip inputs directly 
from an Arduino pin, or through 74HC595s? I understand that these chips 
have zener diodes built in, among other things, but could a faulty chip 
totally destroy my arduino? I'd rather prevent magic smoke.

Also 42-Ar is a source of ß-radiaiton, that is used in tubes, even starters for 
fluorescent lamps!

 

Anyhow, radioactive isotopes are more frequently used in electron tubes. 
Particular tubes for transmitting and radar purpose. Thorium is allied to 
Tungsten in filaments for HF power tubes to enhance emission and CO-60 is used 
to enhance ignition of TR-cells (Transmit-receive cells), who are used to 
short-circuit the receiving part of an radar system during a transmitting a 
pulse. Thus to protect the delicate electronics in the receiver front-end.

[neonixie-l] Radioactive Nixies - Study

2017-03-12 Thread SWISSNIXIE - Jonathan F.
Hi

This might be a little off topic or irrelevant, but maybe someone is 
interested in it too. 

One of my hobbies aside nixies is technology related with radiation and 
nuclear (geiger counters, etc). 
Today i was sorting my nixies into boxes and held a B-5092-A from 
Burroughs, as i spotted a print that looked like a part of a radiation 
warning sign, i inspected all of my B-5092-A - and bingo, one had the 
complete sing. So this tubes are or have been radioactive. 

Before anyone gets nervous about having possible radioactive nixies i will 
write a detailed report about this. 


For these who not know, everything is radioactive, even the air we breathe 
all day - this is because of the naturally occuring radiation comming from 
minerals and of cosmic rays entering or earth. A Geiger Counter measures 
radiation events in time, usually "counts per minute" or "counts per 
second". The background-rate depends on your location (e.g. in the montains 
you have a higher rate than in cities). The CPM (counts perminute) depend 
on the type of detector - but the calculated dose should always be the same 
(some detecors for example give you 100cpm others only 1cpm but with their 
conversion factors both end up giving the same dose).

The normal background dose on earth is usually *0.1* to* 0.5* 
microSievert/hour (uS/h)

My background at home is *0.15 uS/h  *which is* 40 CPM* with my type of 
detector. 

The B-5092-A reads only about 

*100 CPM (0.4 uS/h)*Is it dangerous for your health? - Far from it! You 
could carry this tube your whole life around your neck and it would not 
endanger your health. 

For example, an intercontinental airline flight will give your up to *3.00 
uS/h* and not even this is dangerous - it only would affect you if you 
would fly constantely for years.

So this tubes are perfectly save to carry and handle! There maybe potential 
way more dangerous items in your house - like watches with glowing digits. 


*** OFF TOPIC ***

But why is the tube radioactive, and whats in it?

To answer this you need to look in deeper in radiation.
There are 5 types of radioactive "rays"

Alpha :Can only travel a few centimeter, and are not 
possible to penetrate paper. So if you put a paper over a alpha source, you 
will not - or very low - notice it
Beta  : Can penetrate thin objects, can not penetrate 
metals like aluminium
Gamma:  Can penetrate solid objects, penetrate medium thick 
metals. Usually stopped by lead shielding
Neutron:  Very high energy radiation, can nearly penetrate 
everything, concrete, lead etc
X-Rays:   Special form of radiation, tend to "bounce off" 
shields instead of getting in ther. 


I tested the tube with different Geiger-Tubes. The tube does not contain a 
isotope (radioactive element) that is 100% alpha radiation, since alpha can 
not penetrate the glass.
Also, the isotope cant be 100% gamma, since a gamma geiger tube does not 
pick up a significant change. 
So the isotope we are looking for is potentialli a beta-isotope and is a 
gas. The isotpe must have a relative long half-life too.

Whats half-life?
An unit to measure how long it takes for a radioactive element to be just 
half of its activity. Eg. if your have 100 today, and the half-live is 10 
years, there will be only 50 left in 10 years!

I did a little reseach and the gas we are looking for is Krypton Kr-85
It was used in different types of tubes, usually to help ignite something 
(like a nixie digit). 

Facts on Kr-85:

It has a half life of nearly 11 Years, this means if the tube is 30 years 
old, today only 12.5% of its radioactive gas is still active. 
The only way Kr-85 *could* affect your health is when you drop the tube and 
inhale the gas. 

But by the fact, that there is such a small amount and only a few activity 
of it left, the gas would merge directly with the room air and would not be 
dangerous. 

Last but not least ;) - the tube is NOT SAVE FOR EATING :-) for various 
other reasons!

[neonixie-l] Re: Lighting up a DM160

2017-03-12 Thread Paul Andrews
Here is a schematic. Some notes about it: The filament (aka the cathode) 
should always have 1V across it. It has to be warm. When it is warm it has 
a resistance of about 30R. So the purpose of the resistor network there is 
that it cuts the 12V up into 3V, 1V and 8V (approximately). The filament is 
raised to 3V above 0 because we need to be able to vary the grid voltage 
from -3V to 0V with respect to the filament. So in this case, with the 
filament held at +3V, we can vary the grid voltage from 0V to +3V. When the 
grid is at 0V (-3V wrt to the filament), the lamp is fully off. When the 
grid is at +3V (0V wrt the filament), the lamp is fully on.

I made the grid voltage variable with the little resistor network off to 
the left, just to demonstrate this.

I created the 50V anode potential with a 200K/100K resistor network across 
a 150V nixie power supply I happened to have. BTW, the tube will glow with 
an anode voltage all the way down to about 23V, so 3x9V batteries in series 
would be enough to get a glow out of it.

In reality my 12V power supply was more like 10.5V so the resistor values I 
used were a little different. Also, the resistance from the anode to ground 
is not infinite, so the actual voltage of my nixie power supply was more 
like 220V, which I produced gradually to make sure I didn't go over 50V. 
Obviously an actual 50V power supply would be better!

All of this is just to demonstrate the principles of the DM160, rather than 
to act as a recipe for how they should actually be controlled! I broke two 
lamps while experimenting, in different ways. In the first lamp I applied 
>1V to the filament and it burned out after a few seconds!. Second, a 
filament shorted to the grid so I couldn't control the grid voltage any 
more. The first problem was just me being dumb. I have no idea why the 
second problem occurred, so you have been warned! Fortunately these lamps 
are cheap, but I am concerned that there is no apparent reason for the 
second problem...

Well, I was waiting off for other comments to surface or for the kit supplier 
to pipe up.

 I see a few choices:-
- contact the supplier for comment
- measure waveforms/ logic levels and act accordingly
- try specially selecting 74LSxx that work in the location [might be 
temperamental with age, temperature etc]
- try using the components shown on the schematic, ie 74xx series. BUT, check 
power supply ratings etc first

If it were mine I would want to measure the goings-on with an oscilloscope.

This fixed the counting problem but now I cannot set the time. I can't believe
