Neon Sign Gas
georgia lottery neon sign?
ya know those Georgia Lotto neon signs the have in the window at gas stations.
i want one!
but i dont know where to begin to look!!
eBay is a great place to get one. Some companies give their old ones away, so ask wherever you go (I think the neon is pretty expensive to repair when it dies out). You could also have one custom made (price would vary from $100-$3000). Look in the yellow pages for a local sign shop, or do a google search for an online company. That would be fun to have. Good luck!

Neon Sign $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Neon signs are luminoustube signs that contain neon or other inert gases at a low pressure. Applying a high voltage (usually a few thousand volts) makes the gas glow brightly. They are produced by the craft of bending glass tubing into shapes. A worker skilled in this craft is known as a glass bender, neon or tube bender. Neon sign tubes are distinguished from neon lamp bulbs by their length, customized shapes, higher operating voltages, and range of colors. The lightemitting tubes form colored lines with which a text can be written or a picture drawn, including various decorations, especially in advertising and commercial signage. By programming sequences of switching parts on and off, there are many possibilities for dynamic light patterns that form animated images.

Manufacturing Process of Neon Signs
For those who may not be familiar, a neon sign may be simplistically described as a lighting display made of neon gas-filled glass tubes bent into the shape of letters or fascinating designs for decorative purposes. When heavy voltage electrical current is passed through the captured gas, the tubes emit light and the illumination lures all onlookers and passers by.
With the advancement of technology, today many other gases other than neon gas are used in the manufacture of neon signs. As a matter of fact, the most commonly used gas nowadays is Argon, or an argon-neon mixture. Pure neon gas are seldom used although the nomenclature neon signs remain. To enhance the intensity of the light, some manufacturers add a small amount of mercury to the argon to produce a powerful blue light.
To offer a wide array of bright and sparkling colors, manufacturers coat the glass tubes with a variety of tints and phosphor. Optical tints in various colors are also used and the glass at times is left clear without any tint, to create a strong blue light. Manufacturers also use xenon, krypton, and helium gases for bringing out special color effects.
Neon signs have very wide range of applications a small advertisement to huge complicated designs as many businesses have begun to realize cost-effectiveness of neon sings as advertisement material.
It may be worthwhile to know that the glass tubing used in making neon signs is soft lead glass which is capable of being bent to shape. This glass is generally available in lengths of four to five feet and with varying diameter all below one inch.
Further, the electrodes in each end of the illuminated tubing are made from virgin iron surrounded by a cylindrical glass jacket having one end open. A wire is then attached to the metal electrode and passed through the closed end of the glass envelope. The closed end is sealed into the end of the sign tubing with the open end protrusion inserted into the tube.
The high-voltage electricity required is obtained by a transformer which you will be surprised to know - converts 120 volts from the electrical lines to as high as 15,000 volts needed for the sign. The transformers, it must be noted, are connected to the electrodes in the sign by means of a special wire, known as GTO wire. This wire is also used to connect the individual sections of illuminated tubing in series. For safety purposes, the wire is connected to the transformer through an insulated housing made of a type of glass called borosilicate glass.
Though a mechanical process, manufacturing neon sign is a pleasant work experience. There is lot of scope for imagination and creativity as each sign is unique and must be designed bearing in mind the purpose why it is being installed and the available space for installation. The diameter of the tube, the minimum radius the tubing can be bent, and the overall length of tubing the transformer are all the other parameters that can influence and restrict the design.
The exact step-by-step process of manufacturing Neon Signs is as follows:
- Lengths of glass tubing are cleaned and placed vertically in a coating machine which penetrates liquid phosphor suspension into the tube for eventual draining. The tubes are exposed to heat for the coating to dry. Color tints are applied in a similar manner.
- The glass tubing is gently heated and softened using a variety of burners to facilitate bending. Using the asbestos template as a guide, the tubing is bent by hand.
- Thereafter a process known as bombarding is used to remove any impurities from the glass, phosphors, and electrodes.
- Once the tube has cooled, the gas is inserted under low pressure. The tabulated port is then heated and sealed off.
- The finished gas-filled tubing is put through an aging process to allow the gas in the tube to stabilize and operate properly. A transformer, often rated slightly higher than the normal operating current, is attached to the electrodes.
- Small neon signs are mounted on their framework and wired in the shop. Larger signs may be mounted in pieces and put into place on the building or other support structure where they are interconnected and wired.
