I even catched the 3.5kV a few times during testing a few times. It´s limited to 35µA and so is not that dangerous and only a bit prickling. The 140V...200V DC from a Nixie tube power supply (without current limiting resistor) hurts more. In my youth I once got stuck to a spark plug by my motorcyle when testing the ignition and kicking the kickstarter. Man, that hurts and you are totally paralyzed by the pulses. Thank God the high voltage dwindled down after a few revolutions. Since that time I´m not afraid of high voltage any more :-)
Everything was done with tubes then, so high voltage wasn't an issue. What killed off the NIMO was the convoluted manufacturing (there's a lot of parts inside that needs to be very precise for it to work)
If you take a screenshot when viewing the video in full HD it should already be quite readable. If the whole project is finished I will share the schematics. But there is nothing special about them and you have to able to "read" my pencil drawings and have a little experience in digital circuits to interpret it.
O'God...2 Nimo vids in 2days,i'm in heaven...So sharp and Bright..Luv it😃
3.5kV? That's insane, even the oscilloscope CRT often need less. Still, these tubes are soooooooo rad. Run a Geiger counter over them just in case :)
I hope you show the progress tube by tube. Totally Bad Ads. Thank you Rodger! Joel
Nice. did not take you long to make it work.
Am horrified you hold it with your bare hands while it is on.
That kind of stunt is for ElectroBoom!

@@KainkaLabs The old adage holds true... _"It's not the volts that can kill ya, it's the amps!"_
Seems a rather convoluted and potentially dangerous way just to display numbers. I wonder what IEE were thinking when they invented the NIMO.

Might you be able to supply the schematic for this project? Thank you, Sir.
