How
do they work?
A crackle tube works similarly to a Luminglas device. The beads,
coatings, the gases, and the power supply are the same. The
shape is the only thing that is different. Virtually any blown
glass shape can be made to light up as long as it can withstand
being put under vacuum. (This is an important safety concern:
Never put a glass shape under vacuum unless you know what you're
doing! Implosions can easily happen and are extremely dangerous!)
Large crackle tubes (2" or larger) are made with double
walls. This cuts down the weight and forces the discharge near
the outer glass wall. Double walled vessels of this type require
careful designing to prevent the glass from cracking due to
strains in the glass between the inside and outside walls.
