questions
Dear sir,
Is it possible to generate Infra Red light waves instead of other colours in Neon signs.?

My humble Answer: This sound like a Laser--a close cousin. Try googling/wiking IR lasers.
Also. most Neon signs are filled with neon; if you want any color other than "clear red" you need use tubing with a colored fluorescent coating to produce the color. The small amount of UV invariably produced by the excited Neon (Plasma) lights the coating. Other gases, like Krypton, Xenon, etc, produce different colors but are very rarely used. They are expensive. There Is a mixture in those Plasma Globes you see. [Special:Contributions/70.176.118.196|70.176.118.196]] (talk) 14:25, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Other Uses?
It is possible to charge capacitors directly from an NST's AC output. A Marx-type generator can use AC or DC input; a voltage multiplier uses an AC input. The multiplier, however, Does use rectifiers in its stages.The Marx generator charges caps in parallel to discharge them thru spark gaps in series. This would be cycled at the twice the input frequency--120 Hz with 60 cycle.
Types?
removing the tar, but it is very delicate, messy work.

- WIth respect you are wrong about current. It is easy to find transformers that go to 100 mA e.g. this. You sound knowledgeable, but you really should read WP:OR and realise that Wikipedia is based on verifiability. --Biker Biker (talk) 15:16, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

- Like I say, go read WP:OR. WIkipedia is based on verifiability, which trumps truth every time. --Biker Biker (talk) 23:42, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
