Re: Strange Blue Glows Re: [TCML] Energy accumulation on TC.



That might be due to a capacitance effect. It's like charging capacitor plates and then pulling them apart. They are charged relative to themselves but nothing else. This might be what we are seeing in these cases.

When I put my gas tubes away after a run they usually light up when I handle them. I have 4 tubes that are clear glass about 15 inch long with neon sign type electrodes. Judging by the color I am guessing that 2 are argon, and 1 is neon, and the other neon and something else . They have no phosphor inside. You can see the tubes in these videos.

The ionization may be caused by the discharge of surface charge when you handle them .

I will try to get some video of this.
