Tip 1: How to make neon
One of the main directions of use not she - is the creation of gas-discharge tubes. These are glass flasks enclosed between the electrodes. They glow with a fairly small current strength, and therefore found their application in many areas of industry. Of these neon tubes are advertising, photocells, gas lasers, signal lamps. Also, neon lamps are widely used in architectural design, creating decorative lights both indoors and outdoors.
You will need
- Plastic bottle, peroxide, soda
Instructions
1
The simplest gas lamp, glowed with neon, can be made by yourself. This will require a liter plastic bottle with any carbonated drink, baking soda and liquid hydrogen peroxide.
2
Pour out of the bottle with soda about 14 parts (glass). Take baking soda and add it (1 teaspoon) in a bottle of lemonade.
3
Pour hydrogen peroxide (3 caps from the plastic bottle) into the resulting mixture. Close the container with a lid and shake well.

The liquid in the bottle will start to glow with a pleasant white-yellow light. Such a lamp can be used for lighting a tent in a hike or as a decorative lantern at a party.
5
Electric homemade neon can be made from a conventional tube with hot melt and even a transparent ballpoint pen.
6
To do this, pull the rod out of it andCap, place the LED of the desired color, for example at 3V, and connect it to the transformer. To glow was scattered surface of the transparent plastic can be sanded with a pencil, or pour inside epoxy glue, which also diffuses light well.

By the way, among the aquarists, neon alsois common. Only for them, neon is a pretty glowing fish. A strip passes along her entire body, which glows in different light, depending on the illumination.
