Yes, the copper one. It is smaller than the production watch, it also is not sealed in any way, there's a big hole in the front where water, dirt, metal filings, etc can enter. The reason it took so long to design the real watch is that it's a difficult design problem, the idea of using a screw

@John: Isn't it the principle of working of the E1T it runs through the digits ? As far as I remember it is a self counting display. Yes, but to go from 1 to 2, this clock appears to go 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0-1-2. It's eye catching, but I'm unsure as to why. - John -- You received this

If the E1T counts uni-directional, I is explainable why. Do you know it is the fact? eric -Original Message- From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:neonixie-l@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of John Rehwinkel Sent: zaterdag 4 februari 2012 18:16 To: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com Subject:

Hi Mike, Finally I received my UF4007's. Now they packed them in ESD protecting foil. Are these diodes really so sensitive for ESD or is that 'overkill nonsense'. Its easier that way, too. Don't make your packing people think too hard. Hell, I pack my kits, in electrostatic (proof) bags ! A

I wonder if anybody made flash drives that would have tini nixie tubes at the end (something like IN-17) It would look just really nice when you would stick the drive in the computer and then he digits would start to randomly fade/flash or something. Sadly i do not have the skill to figure that

I'm pulsing them slowly for the visual effect and letting them overflow because I think they look very attractive while they count. The rightmost tube cycles every second but that's too frequent for the rest of them and the visual display just looks messy that way, so I opted to cycle them every
