The main drawback is that you have filmed it with a 30 fps camera while the valve is powered at 50 Hz, so, the unavoidable flickering of the image.

indeed, perhaps the newer iphones or whatever smartphones with the higher frame rate recording option could be useful

Actually if the phone were set to 25 hz you wouldn’t see the flicker…

Should be somewhere around 1000 hours, depends on load conditions and number of on/off cycles... However, the large (usually multi-anode) cold-cathode mercury arc rectifiers can go into tens of thousands. I have a video of that as well.

It was even made by Tesla! Pretty much the original electrical company by Elisa Tesla himself and not the modern electric car company! :)

Good morning. Yes !!! I would like to know, if it does not contain mercury, to provide a bluish light? Is it non-toxic mercury? Are these sources still made? THANKS

What kind of forward voltage does a tube like that have? I’d imagine if you’re rectifying 90V, you would be losing 50 of them to create that aggressive plasma. Could be totally wrong though.

Its not that bad, if I remember correctly the drop is around 15V...
