Interesting, but € 75,- is a bit expensive……

 

If I ever could obtain Pb-210.

Please can somebody trell me where to get those 'neon'-letter chemical symbols 
of noble gases ? I gXeot the symbols for He, Kr and Xe, but are missing just 
those  for Ne and Ar. Futher tha He symbol is told me to be outgassed.

 

I'm guessing you're also missing Ra, but so is everybody else :).

Of course, one could sprinkle some Pb-210 into the tube.  That's the
first Radon daughter with a useful half-life (about 22 years.)

That would actually work pretty well, as the remaining daughters decay
with either beta or alpha particles.  Both are good for stimulating
phosphors and neither will penetrate the glass, though a little
Bremsstrahlung X-rays will be produced from the beta particles.

Of course, the tube would not fill with a uniform glow.  There would be
bright speckles everywhere a particle of Pb-210 landed.

You're welcome.

In the US, tubing comes in 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 17mm dia.  Those
are nominal and can vary a bit.  I've seen some weird sizes come out of
the orient and mexico.

Most of his stuff is 2 to 2.5' tall.  The free-standing signs rest on a
plastic base that contains the transformer.  Last year I bought my SIL
(who is ape-shit into flamingos) the cool-ray flamingo - the one with
the blue sunglasses.  It comes up to a little above my knees.

Incidentally, another bender in the same class is Tony Greer.
neongl...@aol.com.  I've begged him for years to put up a website but he
still displays on some general art site.  I think you can find it by
searching his name along with "neon".  He does a lot more blown stuff
than Bill does.

The best neon bender I know is Bill Buth. b...@neonstreet.com.  He can fix you 
right up.

His Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/BillieBoi

He will stay in the tube if boro glass is used.  Bill can do that.

Kr is totally boring.

Xe you'll probably want filled to a high enough pressure that it snakes around 
in the tube.  Bill knows all this stuff too.

I'd fix you up but inconveniently, someone stole my neon plant several years 
ago and I haven't been able to replace it.
