Small progress, update video. F project | EP#11
The progress on the F tube development in the past weeks was small, but considering the limited time, it is still a success. Sealing machine is waiting for renovation, I also found a supplier of P2 material for anodes of the nixie tubes.
Thank you for your continuous support!

I added stationary burners. F project | EP#10

Sides of the stem are heated properly, but what about the center? This is much more difficult.. I need to find a way to heat the center without burning off the pins.

    Once the puri clocks are sold out. I'd love if the circuit schematics or even the PCB design was made public with open-source code. Then we can make the clocks ourselves and buy the tubes for it. I think that would be a great electronics project for a lot of people.

    • @jeanbarbier9448
      @jeanbarbier9448 4 дні тому

      I'm not sure that it is the main reason, but that greyish surface radiates heat from anodes far better than a silvery one. When you look at power tubes operating at a dark red level, it makes sense...

    • @daliborfarny
      @daliborfarny 4 дні тому

      It was developed to radiate heat, nixie tube engineers chose it beacause it was widely available for them and because it had the optical parameters suitable for nixies..

    @daliborfarny I truly appreciate you sharing this journey with all that are interested. Startups are not easy under ideal conditions. Being an engineer myself I tended to have negative perceptions of marketing and sales. Until I became the communication bridge between sales and engineering. I think you need to reconsider your marketing position. Severing custom projects was a wise move. In my opinion you need to capture customers for current products. Get that revenue machine working. That will enable quality, and all the associated economies of scale.

    • @daliborfarny
      @daliborfarny 4 дні тому

      Hi, thanks for the comment! I think I don't have negative perceptions of marketing/sales, these fields are just not intuitive for me. But I am aware of the power of marketing - people who are good marketers can build large successful businesses with often simple product/idea. "enable quality" and "economies of scale" are totally to the point here! The F tube should use both through the scale. I hope that focusing more on the R tube now I will go the same direction.. Cheers!

    There's a few hot pockets you could tap into. Old bulbs (LEDs try, but they don't match - i've yet to find LED look alikes that fit the right theme), tubes for radios, tubes for (other) old electronics. I cannot state how much (within my own sphere) i stumble upon people who either buy or hoard these old glass based elements. You're already 50% there, you have mastery of glass, you have the equipment. Soon (fingers crossed) you'll have the machine to make these on the cheap(er)... might be worth looking into it. Just a thought.
