PAST INDICATOR

1. If you watch old science movies, you may have seen a nixie clock already in movie scenes and wondered what a nixie clock is. We'd be happy to tell you more about nixie tubes and clocks based on these tubes. In this article we will discuss Nixie Watches and at the end of the article an excellent recommendation to a company that offers this product will be suggested. Before digital LED displays came into existence, there were cold cathode display tubes or so-called nixie tubes. Back in the 1960s, Burroughs Corporation introduced these nixie nixie watch tubes. But in fact, the name "nixie" appeared almost by accident. The designer making the device drawings called it NIX I for Numeric Indicator Experimental No. 1. A colleague of his began calling it “Nixie” and the name has been stuck to it ever since. The production of nixie tubes stopped in the USA and Europe in the 1970s and continued in Russia and Ukraine until the 80-90s. This explains the high price of nixie tubes today. You are probably interested in how a nixie tube works. Nixie tubes work the same way as neon tubes, but instead of two identical electrodes, they have specially shaped electrodes in the form of a symbol or number. The other electrode (anode) is a fine mesh inside a Nixie tube at the front of the tube. When there is a high voltage applied at the electrodes, the neon gas between the electrodes emits a warm orange glow. So how can more than one symbol be displayed on the nixie tube? Simply place a bunch of different shaped electrodes one after the other with insulating gaskets between them and apply voltage to the number you want to ignite. The nixie tube needs about 160 volts or more to ignite, and then you need to maintain about 120 volts during operation. The nixie tubes work very well and provide clear symbols that can be controlled by simply connecting the corresponding cathode to the negative pole of the high voltage power supply. We fell in love with nixie tubes. Wherever nixie tubes are used, it catches our eye. One of the great ideas for reviving nixie tubes is to put them on display in a nixie tube clock. Our unique Nixie Tube Clock gives a warm orange glow to the new nixie tubes that have been rescued and survived from the old military equipment in the long-abandoned basements of Eastern Europe. Today there is a very limited number of nixie tubes and such tubes will never be produced again. This explains the high demand for such nixie clocks.
