Nixie Button Desk Ornament
Lasermad
£20
A nixie tube based ‘plasma globe’ toy that glows in response to anything conductive touching the outer glass. The main feature though is when touched it will operate a low-voltage relay for about a second which can be used to interface to your own project or connect to a PC motherboard to switch a computer on/off. Activating your missile launch sequence is also possible but not recommended. Supplied as a kit of all parts required, it will take most constructors around 30-60 minutes to assemble and includes an IN-1 nixie tube, USB lead, suitable UK plug mains to 5V adapter and phenolic laminate
