CoolNeon

At a party tonight, there was a young woman wearing a tiara made of a thin, glowing, blue wire. I asked where she found it, and learned she had made it out of CoolNeon wire. It’s a tungsten coated wire, coated in PVC, which glows when you run power through it. It’s neat stuff, and the power requirements aren’t high. You can run a few strands off of a pair of AA batteries. Apparently it’s popular with the art vehicle crowd at Burning Man.
