Learning to Bend Neon

 

Neon is truly one of the best blends of art and engineering, and it has been on my bucket list forever. To check this dream off the list, I went to the Museum of Neon Art to finally learn how to bend glass and make my own sign! 

I’ve been obsessed with neon since my Tesla coil days because if you hold a neon tube near high voltage, it glows. 

In this build video we’re talking plasma, 15,000 volts, electrons flying everywhere. Classic physics meets classic Americana.
