James AkersI bent and pumped one of the 5mm tubes I coated with warm white phosphor and another with pinky purple phosphor and by golly with Hg they get BRIGHT!
Two eating mini ponies, the warm white I added mercury to and the pinky purple I left with Argon (with a touch of Ne to help it turn on it cold weather). I am building out my mini herd to send westward to an outdoor mini gallery in Helper, Utah. Planning on putting them in an infinity mirror situation, so the brightness will be an asset here. Grazing neon ponies forever!
Never ceases to amaze me at how effective a tiny drop of mercury is in brightening up a tube. Next on the docket is a neon filled Black Stallion with blacklight glass, as well as a Cobalt blue and Ruby red "Bluecifer". I gotta get Ali to draw it rearing so it matches the Denver sculpture.
