Just discovered these wonderful things today. Apparently they are on full revival mode these days. Do you guys own/plan to own some? They make sweetass clocks for sure.

What's their power consumption like? They look cool af
>hipster technology
tuturu~

I knew someone was going to post S;G

Pretty bad, these are tubes after all.
>>57614407
Could I actually hook them up to an arduino and make them do shit or do they typically come with some kind of integrated circuit shit already in them for the normies?
>>57614407
Nixie tubes are actually one of the ugliest ways to display digits.
>>57614575
Yeah, there's a company that sells Arduino shields for tubes. You can also by tubes from them iirc.
>>57614421
70Wh. why? are you too poor for these? lmao
>>57614626
you're a massive faggot but I'm taking the time to tell you that if you want to build something battery powered you need to worry about the power consumption you fucking autist
Now go back to your bedroom and enjoy everything your parents are buying for you

>battery powered
Why
>>57614575
They were mostly made in the 60's so they are basicly bulbs with 11 pins.
They've been revival since about 2008. I always intend to make one but can't really justify dropping 200 bucks on a clock.
They look sexy as fuck though
>>57614688
>Battery powered Nixie clock
shiggy diggy
Jokes aside though Wozniak got a Nixie watch custom made, the tubes only light up when you press a button and the actual clock circuit barely consumes any power. Kinda defeats the aesthetics if your clock is off all the time though.

Who the fuck would make anything battery powered with fucking Nixie tubes? Are you a fucking autist?

you fucking niggers that's why I asked for the power consumption
>>57614688
>battery powered
you must be over 18 to browse this site.
>>57614785
Shit dude, there's no point. They consume too much power because they're literally filaments. Don't know what you thought was gonna happen by plugging cold war tech into a LiPo battery.
If you were keen as fuck you could have them power only when you need to see the time but that's a cop out and a half.
Quit being a cunt too. Stupid and mean isn't a good combo
>>57614825
>They consume too much power
I didn't know that, that's why I asked for the power consumption
>>57614778
actually some dude made a nixie watch that only burns when he looks at it
>>57614832
You also called me a nigger because I called you on your shit for not having a little common sense.
If you're gonna be dumb at least be humble.
>>57614852
Not that dude,
but if you post
>why? are you too poor for these? lmao
It's no wonder why you get a not so humble reply.
>>57614886
I didn't post that one. I posted: >>57614767
He called us all niggers

I'm kinda hoping Steins;Gate 0 is less emotionally draining. Tbh I just want them to go back to having fun with green goo bananas and cosplay.
