Here are some ideas to get you started. Once you get into the zone, you won't be able to stop. The nostalgia of these vintage nixie tubes is a great way to learn about science and history at the same time. They have long been out of production since the Cold War ended, but their popularity has maintained a steady climb!

#7 - Build a Clock

Sure its the most common thing to do with Nixie Tubes, but you gotta start somewhere.
Get Started!

#6 - Build a Watch

Similar to a clock, but smaller and much more challenging. Well, relatively smaller.

#5 - Build a Calendar or Calculator

Again, similar to a clock, but not nearly as common. Challenge yourself.

#4 - Build a Nixie Cable TV Box

Now we are getting past all the standard stuff and into the realm of creativity. This is a pretty nifty idea!

#3 - Build a Miniature Plasma Ball

Ok, this is no joke. The person who did this has some serious time on their hands, but should be commended for a great feat in creativity.

#2 - Make Art

Ok, so technically these works of art are not Nixie Tubes, but you could accomplish the same end with a slightly different twist. When all else fails, call it "art".

#1 - Repair the Display in Your Very Own Vintage Russian Submarine

This could perhaps be the most obvious use of Nixie Tubes, but it is quite possibly the most overlooked as well. Why not fix up the ole sub, eh?
Get Started!
