The stacked digit arrangement in a Nixie tube is visible in this (stripped) ZM1210. The most common form of Nixie tube has ten cathodes in the shapes of the numerals 0 to 9 (and occasionally a decimal point or two), but there are also types that show various letters, signs and symbols.
An iron cored neon-sign transformer, with a 9-volt battery for scale. A neon-sign transformer (NST) is a transformer made for the purpose of powering a neon sign. They convert mains voltage in the range 120-347 V up to high voltages, in the range of 2 to 15 kV. These transformers supply between 18-30 mA; 60 mA on special order. [1]
Intelligent Peripheral Devices, Inc. [6] was founded in 1992 by two previous Apple Computer engineers, Ketan Kothari [8] and Joe Barrus, [9] [10] with the mission to "develop and market affordable, portable personal learning solutions for the classroom" and to "deliver affordable, lightweight, rugged portable computing devices that are expandable, easy to use and manage, and provide ...
This is especially important when using transformers with fragile high-voltage windings, such as neon sign transformers (NSTs). Regardless of which configuration is used, the HV transformer must be of a type that self-limits its secondary current by means of internal short-circuit inductance. A normal (low Short-circuit inductance) high-voltage ...
Pearson-Anson oscillator circuit. The Pearson–Anson effect, discovered in 1922 by Stephen Oswald Pearson [1] and Horatio Saint George Anson, [2] [3] is the phenomenon of an oscillating electric voltage produced by a neon bulb connected across a capacitor, when a direct current is applied through a resistor.

Paschen curves obtained for helium, neon, argon, hydrogen and nitrogen, using the expression for the breakdown voltage as a function of the parameters A,B that interpolate the first Townsend coefficient.
Neon sign. The neon sign is an evolution of the earlier Geissler tube, [11] which is a sealed glass tube containing a "rarefied" gas (the gas pressure in the tube is well below atmospheric pressure).
