Neon Sign Transformer

[BroadScot]

A possible but doubtful suggestion is contact a local Neon Sign company say in Norwich, Stuart. They may have what you are looking for or can guide you in the right direction where to pick one up.

I have to speak to our sign supplier in Ely later this afternoon, let me know exactly what you want to achieve and I'm sure they can point you in the right direction.

I looked at this art form via Google this afternoon so for those that have never seen, it's worth a look and the effects are amazing

Re HT coil.

The car HT coil is not designed to give a constant high voltage, it relies on the primary being disconnected, ( think points, or electronic control) which creates a back emf in the secondary, as the magnetic field collapses.

Ah... right. lol

Health and safety, it's not the high voltage that kills you, think static electricity, it's actually the current, 30mA or more can kill, but it needs a high enough voltage to overcome the resistance of the human body.

If a good enough contact is made, 50 volts can kill.

However don't watch the Green Mile, it will give you night mares.
