24 followers · 29 posts · Server mastodon.nlWhen I was experimenting with my nixie tube display board (for my clock) I noticed that the more current the nixie tubes would draw, the less voltage there would be across them...
If I ignited the tubes with 190V they would draw 2.5 mA each and there would be 130V across the tubes (the rest was across the dropping resistors).
But if I ignited the tubes with 170V they would only draw 1.5mA and there was 140V across the tubes.
This #phenomenon is called negative resistance.

New stock of boost converters for #Nixie tubes, that convert 5-12V to 150-170V DC 👍

Notice something strange about the 2 and 5?
In Soviet #nixie tubes, to cut costs, the 2 and 5 are the same element, simply inverted.

Resistor and capacitor to compensate for the absence of a true analog output, and an MJE340 to drive the high voltage.

I've just been reminded that this exists:

So (obviously) I've now also remembered that somewhere in the workshop is a box full of neons that I bought a decade ago with the vague intention of building my own.
If you fail at getting around to a project for long enough, the idea will eventually resurface I guess!

Hunting through my pile of stuff that might come in useful one day, I've found a single #nixie tube with a BCD decade counter driver.
I wonder about making a single tube nixie clock.

Ich hab beim Aufräumen #nixie Röhren gefunden. 😍
Ob die noch funktionieren?!
