Why is neon so incredibly pretty? There's something about that kind of light that is just so compelling... In 1976 I installed a light switch in my grandmother's apartment (in the basement of my house) that had a neon light in it that turned on when you closed the switch. To this very day that neon light is still working!

@@TheFreak111 - Hi. There are many devices that could do this, but it's more down to trail & error. You can take an ignitor module for a High Pressure Sodium (SON or MH) lamp, preferably a parallel ignitor that operates at 50/60Hz at a voltage of 1KV. Similarly, you can try a parallel ignitor with a very small 13W to 18W fluorescent ballast that will limit the power to the tube and prevent it from transitioning into the full power "Sodium" orange output. If that doesn't work then try a ignitor from an old Oil burner which operates at a higher voltage (2-6 KV). Before you do this experiment, it is best to have a few dead lamps to play with because a too HV potential can damage the lamp and it will never fire-up again. I've done this using old SOX-135 or SOXE-91, or the larger SOX-180/SOXE-131. That's all I can offer for now, other than trying to bother Andy for his way of doing it. Best of luck.

That beautiful hot cathode neon lamp shouldn't be left in a box for 50 years! Nor should the rest of your collection. It's all far to interesting, fun, fascinating & educational to just gather dust in the dark. Those lamps, mercury arc rectifiers and everything else should be on display where I can... ahem, people can come & see it & learn that the best lighting effects come from electricity interacting with magnetic fields & stuff. Actual stuff you can hold, touch & smell. (Yes, I was taken back to peering at the valves in the back of the telly along with the scent of hot components, solder & dust as soon as you mentioned it! Good old Radio Rentals & Rediffusion!) I'm sure you could crowd source a way to display your collection. Have a think about it everyone, how could we help? Thanks for a splendid video Andy. Nice one!

13:20 I wonder what causes the discharge to "wiggle" like that, and why it only seems to come from one of the electrodes. Do you remember whether the wiggly side was the anode or the cathode?
@charlesball6519
@charlesball6519 3 жыл бұрын
That's probably eddy currents in the discharge arc.
@empireoflizards

Fluorescent lamps do that too. It seems like the arc along the tube gets condensed and pushed around by heat convection within the surrounding gas.
@Muonium1
@Muonium1 3 жыл бұрын
it is likely a combination of both convective currents within the gas due to temperature variation, and magnetic field induced filament instabilities. The MHD interactions in the plasma are highly complex.
