Re: NEON- single trode xfrmr
Thank you all for the hints, have to do some further experiments.
Dirk:
The Per Luce HF 6000/20 with one lead groundes doesn't work for this.
it will light up 10cm of 10mm clear red and 20-30cm of 18mm Ar/Hg with
a very dim glow, not more. Have to ask the company to get more info.

When using flyback circuits, I had sometimes problems with the coil
insulation breaking down and causing immediate burnout.
These flyback transfo's are not open-circuit-proof!
Car ignition coils will give too low current, just a dim light at low freqs.
Wound some coils on ferrite rods, gave too much ozone, the whole energy
was eaten up by the conductive ozone produced in the coil. I have to try
epoxy resin embedding of the coil later on.
