Questions about The Art of Neon
1.Who discovered neon and when? Who first produced a neon lamp?
2.Which of the noble gases produce a colored glow when excited by electricity passing through a glass tube in which the gas is confined? Name the gas and the characteristic color it produces.
3.Which of the noble gases is most often used in neon signs?
4.How is the gas introduced into the glass tubing used in neon signs?
5.How does a neon tube produce light?
6.What are the three different ways colored light can be produced in neon tubing?
7.How long does a neon sign last?
8.How many different colors can now be produced in neon tubing?
1)The first neon discharge lamp was invented by the French engineer and scientist Georges Claude, who first applied an electric current through a neon-filled glass tube around 1902. On December 11th 1910 he demonstrated his brilliantly glowing luminous tubes to the public in Paris. However it was not until 1923 that the business potential of the neon lamp was realised, when his company, Claude Neon, supplied two signs to an American car dealership with the glass tube being bent to spell out the name of the firm "Packard". Those signs sold for a phenomenal $24,000, and kicked off the modern neon sign industry. Claude eventually became part of Sylvania Electric Products, and indeed his name lives on in France today through Sylvania's popular Claude brand name for its lighting products sold in that country. Outside of the neon sign industry, the linear neon lamp is manufactured today only by GE Lighting UK, in the form of the Airfield Hazard lamp shown below.
A second family of neon lamp was the negative glow type, invented by Daniel MacFarlan Moore of General Electric USA. He discovered that a glow will envelop the cathode electrode of a lamp evacuated to a suitably low pressure and filled with one of the inert gases. By operating the lamp on alternating current, the polarity is reversed so rapidly that both electrodes appear to glow, and a useful miniature indicator lamp was developed
i think this might answer them all---
How do you get the colors?
A1. The initial color source is the inert gas which emits a characteristic color when electricity is applied. The two most common gases are neon which emits a fiery red, and a mixture of argon and minute particles of mercury which emits a subdued blue. Clear glass allows you to see the characteristic colors emitted by the gas. Fluorescent powders may be painted or baked to the inside walls of the glass tubing and the source light is then converted into a multitude of shades such as pink, turquoise, and green. By altering the mixture of elements, subtle differences are possible. For example, white is available in a wide array of color temperatures from warm to cool.
Tubing is also produced in colored glass. Deep clear reds, blues, and greens for example produce the richly saturated colors referred to as exotic or Euro glass. Colored glass may also have a fluorescent coating which can change both the quality and color of the light.
Q2. How do you bend the glass?
A2. The glass is rotated and rocked (rocked and rolled) in burner flames which use a gas and air mixture to raise the flame temperature. Generally four burners are used. Crossfire and fishtail burners produce most angled bends and splices. Ribbon burners produce curves or sweeps. Hand torches are usually used for splices or tapering and tipping off electrodes.
Q3. How does a neon tube produce light?
A3. Electrical current bombard the inert gas atoms with electrons knocking neon's atoms out of their orbits. The electrons collide with other free electrons sending them back toward the atoms. As the electrons are absorbed into the atom, energy is given off as light.
Q4. How do you get the gas into the tube?
A4. Neon tubes are capped off by two glass electrodes which have wire passing from outside to inside. One of these electrodes has a tubulation, a small tube which remains as a passage from outside to inside. The tubulation is sealed to the pumping system or manifold. The manifold has glass stopcocks or valves that allow sections to be selectively opened or closed.
An ultra high vacuum pump pulls the air out of the tube while a high voltage-high amperage transformer bombards and heats the remaining air to produce temperatures in excess of 500 degrees F. This allows the tube to achieve a higher degree of purity. When a very high vacuum is reached and the tube begins to cool, a small amount of inert gas is introduced from a flask or tank. The tubulation is then heated and as it is pulled it sucks in to make the tubes own seal.
Q5. Is neon dangerous?
A5. Neon and argon gas by themselves are not. They are inert. As with standard fluorescent tubes, the minute droplets of mercury present in some colors are safe as long as the tube is not broken. Improper handling can be a threat to both the environment and health. Many modern neon shops refuse repair of broken argon-mercury tubes for this reason.
Neon is powered by voltages in the 2,000 to 15,000 volt range. Even though the current is in the milliamp range, if a neon piece is not properly mounted, wired, and insulated this voltage poses both a shock and fire hazard. This is an area where cheapness does not pay off. A well constructed neon piece should be problem free for many years.
Q6. How long does neon last?
A6. Neon can last decades In practical terms the expected life span is between 8 to 15 years. Neon can be repaired and recharged.
Q7. Do you use a pattern or do you bend the glass freehand?

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.

Neon signs attract more attention when compare to any other type of signs, therefore Neon signs are extremely helpful in the entire marketing process.
One need to understand about the Neon signs thoroughly in order to have a clear idea about them. In reality, neon signs are like glass tubes that are loaded with neon. These glass tubes are filled with any other lifeless gas such as helium, krypton, and argon with mercury, phosper and xenon.
Neon signs shine extremely bright, at the time when high power is applied to it. Neon signs are considered a very efficient form of advertising. Neon signs are available in a variety of shapes, designs, letters and sizes as well as the emanating light in special colors making them best suitable for promotion. To catch the attention of the customer these all are considered intentional marketing techniques.
One important thing should be known by all about Neon signs is that, they are not made by any machine and still prepared by hand only. You can make different- different shapes by these neon signs because the glass tubes can be twisted easily. To suck out the oxygen a vacuum pump is utilized and to provide the required color the necessary gas is being filled.
Some neon signs twinkle thoroughly and they are accessible in more than 150 colors. They attract the attention of the customers by giving the delusion of movement in order to go on and off at an intervals. These types of illusions are very well planned promotion techniques in order to catch the attention of the customer. Neon signs stay for a longer time just about 10 - 15 years and they do not have a thread as the normal light bulbs.
Naturally all the business desire to be successful and they needs a sign board to create awareness about their business as well as name of the company. If one has to increase the business then an excellent sign board will absolutely required. At the time when it's dark outside and the sign board need to be seen in the dark then neon signs are utilized.
As neon signs Glow in the dark like night and evening time, it catches the attention of the entire person who look at it. Therefore, it helps in improving the business. Neon signs are being utilized in all sorts of businesses such as to restaurants, to sell cars, to shops selling electronic goods and to signs outside bars. Several sign boards are not being noticed by people but the neon sign makes the sign boards different in the middle of all the other shops; as a result it increases business
