Default Neon Sign Power Supply: What's the Use?


"Beloved Leader" wrote in message

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?

Many years ago we had one in the lab that we were using in an ozone
generator.
One lunch time, being more madcap than usual, we tried to drive it with an
amplified audio source to seee if we could actually produce a spark gap
transmitter.
