Click here for Dieter's Nixie Tube Page A Dekatron spinner displays a spinning dot by using a vintage 'Dekatron' style glow-transfer counting tube. The colour of the dot depends to the gas the tube is filled. Argon filled tubes display a purple dot. The spinning frequency depends to the mains voltage the spinner is connected to and to the counting steps of the Dekatron. If the spinner is connected 50Hz and the Dekatron is a 10-way counter (like the one here in this project) the dot spins with 5 turns per second. If the spinner is connected to 60Hz the dot spins with 6 turns per second. An animation of a Dekatron spinner: You can find more information about Dekatrons here at my Dekatron page. On my page you'll find the complete description of the module, also Nixie tubes and other stuff. Check it out! This module is good as power indicator for tube amps or something. You also can build it into a housing and just use it as an art-object So it will work all over the world! The following pictures show the tube spinning. Of course, only one of the cathodes is glowing, but the opening time of the camera leads to that different pictures: a middle opening time of the camera: a short opening time of the camera: a long opening time of the camera: by night, with long opening time of the camera: Here you see a picture of the module with the tube: The tube is mounted in pin receptacles, so it's no problem to replace it: An animation of a spinning dekatron: You can download the connection-instructions here. Attention!!!! This circuit generates high voltage!!! Do never touch the circuit while it is connected to the AC line. Before you use the circuit mount it in a closed housing! I am not liable for any damages caused to someone’s health. Dekatron Spinners produce high voltages that can be fatal. I disclaim any responsibility for injury as a result of using this circuit!! All risks and damages, incidental or otherwise, arising from the use or misuse of this circuit are entirely the responsibility of the user. DANGER!!!! HIGH VOLTAGE DEVICE!!!!!! I give 100% functional guarantee!! - For other methods please ask me! nixie nixi nixies nixietube tube tubes röhre röhren telefunken cd47 GR-414 GR-411 cd-47 readout clock nixieclock rare dekatron numitron rodan socket base sockets readout socket base fassung röhre röhrenfassungen röhrenfassung röhrensockel IN-18 sockel calculator calculators hewlett packard old vintage pixie pixietube Dekatrons Register Röhren Selectrons Zählröhren Dekatron Register tubes Selector tubes Glow- transfer counting tubes Röhrendaten tubedata datasheet datenblätter datenbuch RFT VEB buch vfd vacuum fluorescent display vfd display anzeigeröhre anzeigeröhren taschenrechner tischrechner rechner Click here for Dieter's Nixie Tube Page (Dekatron spinner with 6802 display nixie tube tubes was posted and is owned by: Autumn Dillon) |
