A project log for No-Silicon digital clock

No-Si clock, with digital readout 0:00-11:59 TOTALLY WITHOUT SILICON. No microcontrollers, no chips, no transistors. Valves/tubes!

Presented the No-Si Digital Clock to the members of the family. Wife and kids (age 20+) were quite amused, I think they even liked it. My son wanted to know exactly the rotation time of each dekatron. 

The clock is standing in the living room next to the tv now. We'll see how annoying the continuosly spinning dektrons are when viewing tv. Especially the very first one, rotating five times per second.

I think I will leave it there for a week or so and then it'll go into storage. Just to get it out sometimes to impress friends and family.
