A local shop has a neon sign in the trash. It fell, and the tube
broke. I suppose the power supply is good. The specs are on the power
supply: 7000-8000 volts output. I can't think of any use for it, and
it's not as if I have room for any more junk.

Is there any reason I should grab it?


Rig up a pair of wire meshes to the 8kV with a blue florescent tube behind =
high powered insectecutor.

Jacob's Ladder, Tesla Coil driver, and CO2 laser power supply, to name 3 uses.
