Nixie Clocks

Here's a great page on all kinds of Display and Counting Tubes, including several sets of instructions on building your own displays using them.

If you're in intro to physical computing, and looking for a tech research project (comes up in a few weeks), then this might be a good one. Explain how nixie tubes work, and how to interface them to a microcontroller. Get one and interface it if you've got the cash.

Here are a few more.

Thanks to Mike Sharon and Jamie Barnett for the links
