Neonkev #1 - An intro to Nixie Tubes (nixie history, how they work, and more!)

Hi all!

Welcome to the first video I've made to go along with my personal engineering blog: https://neonkev.com/

My life changed after discovering nixie tubes; they piqued my interest in electrical engineering and help me to discover new engineering skills and knowledge!

I hope you enjoy this expository video about all things nixie related. No one video can cover all aspects of a topic, but hopefully you can gain an appreciation for what nixie tubes are, or learn something new if you knew about them already.

Enjoy and more to come!

Chapters:
1:06 Nixie History
6:41 How Nixies Work
10:06 Types of Nixies
11:16 Buying Nixies
