But I found a few companies that make nixie clocks pretty enough for almost anyone's taste. The neon tubes, when combined with blackened bronze, silver chrome, and stunning woods, become an unusual blend of science and art, making a functional item a pretty piece of home decor.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What is a digital Nixie Tube?</span> <blockquote><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnNJ9hcI7nz9bjEgenfH9-F1clzW9D9YRhFwC71cmN3iIyhCk6B9tARg9dGOwPNVy3K6qWxlfCHFrQ1afqARztkHsfz1HFSuuy0ncT-pQTuAX6-Fb70XKXxgElROoBSggzTdgYMN9N44e1/s1600-h/nixie_cathode_anode.gif" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227721716673872690" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnNJ9hcI7nz9bjEgenfH9-F1clzW9D9YRhFwC71cmN3iIyhCk6B9tARg9dGOwPNVy3K6qWxlfCHFrQ1afqARztkHsfz1HFSuuy0ncT-pQTuAX6-Fb70XKXxgElROoBSggzTdgYMN9N44e1/s400/nixie_cathode_anode.gif" style="cursor: pointer; width: 466px; height: 340px;" /></a><br />A nixie tube is an electronic device for displaying numerals or other information. The glass tube contains a wire-mesh anode, and multiple cathodes in the shape of Arabic numerals. Applying power to one cathode surrounds it with an orange glow discharge. The tube is filled with a gas at low pressure, usually mostly neon and often a little mercury and/or argon, in a Penning mixture (Weston 1968), (Bylander 1979,).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiObwPI8VoPNmfV_kjehOxnxvR0HePjs54Ds0WSbU9sNQVe3vszppPKPDBvv6QFMGM5sS9l1CMHGELTevEWyvXOIAv0tW6GSSnAsHZQfdR5TYOMPLbQvrsMGcvwehwBymyTbYTxJDUylGZV/s1600-h/800px-Nixie_clock.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227720749260326146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiObwPI8VoPNmfV_kjehOxnxvR0HePjs54Ds0WSbU9sNQVe3vszppPKPDBvv6QFMGM5sS9l1CMHGELTevEWyvXOIAv0tW6GSSnAsHZQfdR5TYOMPLbQvrsMGcvwehwBymyTbYTxJDUylGZV/s400/800px-Nixie_clock.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 482px; height: 279px;" /></a><br />above: A typical Nixie tube clock.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How Nixie Tubes work</span>:<br />Each glass tube typically contains 10 or more individual cathode wires in the shape of numbers or letters. The cathodes are stacked so that different numerals appear at different depths, unlike a planar display in which all numerals are on the same plane relative to the viewer. The anode is a transparent metal mesh wrapped around the front of the display. The tube is filled with the inert gas neon (and other gases) with a small amount of mercury. When an electric potential of 120 to 180 volts DC is applied between the anode and any cathode, the gas near the cathode breaks down and the digit spreads into a glow.</blockquote><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw2mtKsMw0mbMoaG4tsbv6tm1Jp2ddd5baMRaVJD2WlcDXXAE1_lvgeyGvrTeEximjeM6GLR-p6uBDPMj8TY3h0ioP38Bjln_I9OrX_mTlq7eU0MH0CV3d3btu8wBLQ8Py03khQjpBySgx/s1600-h/Picture+10.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227713233895882930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw2mtKsMw0mbMoaG4tsbv6tm1Jp2ddd5baMRaVJD2WlcDXXAE1_lvgeyGvrTeEximjeM6GLR-p6uBDPMj8TY3h0ioP38Bjln_I9OrX_mTlq7eU0MH0CV3d3btu8wBLQ8Py03khQjpBySgx/s400/Picture+10.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 537px; height: 118px;" /></a><br /><br />1. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The NIXIE desk clock</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3RuZJw9rtc7dgWyXrdU9tam1VCB6on9QoH7qfypEhuxOGxRGfX24cwAW-9Zgt1pybNQVKJoWcLNFtFazJWdfP7mc0kDSFKNLjXC3Ps2mEHwM2t7fwgWFNQkr0k1oBbsOzrVRPwIGVmIJw/s1600-h/CLOCK-Bedside-Nixie.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227712905238190050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3RuZJw9rtc7dgWyXrdU9tam1VCB6on9QoH7qfypEhuxOGxRGfX24cwAW-9Zgt1pybNQVKJoWcLNFtFazJWdfP7mc0kDSFKNLjXC3Ps2mEHwM2t7fwgWFNQkr0k1oBbsOzrVRPwIGVmIJw/s400/CLOCK-Bedside-Nixie.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 848px;" /></a><br />Above: Silver plated bronze exterior with digital nixie tubes.<br />The desk clock easures 6"H x 11.5"W x 2.5"D and is available in Blackened bronze, Natural bronze, Silver plated<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2.
