I want a uranium cat

Many insects are attracted to ultraviolet light so that's most likely the reason why the black light attracts the flies.

as you are so obsessed with Uranium, you must have been to Jachymov, if not, it's a must.

Neko-chan - Nyanko sensei XD I want one too! ^^

good to see you back :)

What sort of instrument would you recommend that detects alpha radiation?

okay I have a question will you do with detrimental health effects in the future because of all of your dealings with radiological material? also can you test trigicon or ameriglow night sights for a pistol or rifle would love to see how much they are detecting

Jay Bronson almost nothing, the amount used is very minuscule and is blocked by the glass that it is contained inside of. They glow becuase paints are used that glow when struck by alpha particles. The tritium used in gun sights and key chains is primarily and alpha emitter which can be blocked by a single sheet of paper let alone a mm of glass which is much more material

Hey antiprotons, can you recomend any relatively cheap yet good quality geiger counters? Im looking for one to measure gamma radiation, but I want to also measure alpha and beta decay for future projects. I don't really know where to look so I thought I might ask. Thank you.

The GMC models on Amazon and eBay are considered the best bang for the buck. If you want to measure alpha, you will really want something like an Inspector USB or Mazur unit. These are ~$500. I have several Inspectors and love them all. Sites: www.geigercounters.com/ www.amazon.com/dp/B00IN8TJYY/ www.amazon.com/dp/B00CC1EZ1A/

Also look at the Radalert 50. It will measure gamma/beta and has the added benefit of some alpha sensitivity which is unheard of in it's price range because it has a thin end window tube. There's a seller unloading a bunch of them for $80 delivered on feebay. Tom's recommendation of the GMC is fine but it won't be alpha sensitive and it uses a glass tube which blocks some soft beta activity too. They are feature rich though.

Yeah, they are also just an older model. People want more sensitivity of a larger 2" pancake tube. I actually prefer the traditional old fashioned Roentgen displays on my gear. It's simpler. Well, they also display uR and mR of course. I've got a Canberra Ultraradiac for when I only want to measure gamma. Pancake for alpha/beta trace level stuff. Sieverts gets confusing with all the tissue equivalent weighting factor crap and it's only really accurate for the isotope it was calibrated to anyway. So, if you're measuring Cs137 - you're golden (which I never do) because I am in the antique glass/hobby level world. Worst I ever see is U-glass, orange pottery, or radium clocks :)

Hey Geiger Mouse, i was checking out the Radalert 80 like you had mentioned and noticed there was a temperature range. I am measuring electrostatic particle collisions which give off gamma radiation, and high temperatures. Will that be an issue with the geiger counter that you had recommended?

my 2 x uranium glass .

Hello Tom, I believe you have a gamma scout in your toolbox, correct me if I'm mistaken. When the gamma scout sensor declares "overflow" on the display upon exceeding one micro sievert per hour, is there a calculation you can use to determine the actual count? Beyond 1 milli sieverts it will continue to count and give a reading but it is much higher than indicated. The fact that it will still give a steady reading (even if lower than it actually is) makes me think that there must be a correlation with actual amount vs what is displaying and maybe a formula could be created to determine this. But then again you could just use the inverse square law and measure from farther away rather than direct contact. I guess that would work better, but IF a formula could be created, I bet digital Geiger counters could be made to actually display the real reading even if it is flooding the Geiger tube by programming in a formula. Wondering if you knew of any such formula or if you think just taking a reading from a distance that your unit can accurately give a reading from and using the inverse square law is simply better

Probably not and it doesn't matter if it's low energy beta activity like what is produced from antique glass and pottery. Gamma is what they are more concerned about, of which most antiques put out very little of (trace amounts). Radium clocks/etc are the exception. They actually put out a bit of Gamma, but nothing too spooky. The postal limit is 0.5 mR per hour when measured at package surface.

also I haven't been subscribe that long I was wondering what are the most dangerous to the human body is causing detrimental health problems? and what should you look out for or watch out for around the house or property that can be the most dangerous I'm very interested to know?

You should check to see if your water heater is radioactive.

It depends upon where you live, as the article mentions S. Carolina has high U content in the water. I just checked mine with pancake probe which is super sensitive. Checked down near base and every foot upwards. Nothing was above natural background levels. I live in the NW of USA. Pretty good water here. My water heater is very old and probably loaded up with scale and rust now too. At my last house there was an even older one which looked like it was from the 70's. It started venting steam from too much pressure. Man that thing was heavy to get out of the basement - so full of gravel like scale/sand you could hear it moving in the bottom when lifted. Took two strong people to get it out of there.

I recently got a really good specimen of depression glass and it gives me about 250 CPM with my GMC-320+. I'll eventually try it with my SBT-11A pancake tube which detects Alpha particles.

Pancake will be much higher because the GMC's glass tube blocks a good portion of the soft beta activity.

Most people don't know the glass tube wall blockage thing and just how deaf the GMC is to beta, which was my main point. My cousin uses one and it gets the job done but I prefer the SBM20 tube's sensitivity. It can be swapped out and there is a video if you want to try that. Your pancake will be great though. Better than either one of those. I use Ludlum 44-9 pancake.

Your user guide for your particular brand/model describes the process. In a nutshell, you open the beta window and hold the probe up to the check source sticker on the side. Assuming you have one of the newer check source stickers (containing depleted U) it should read approximately half scale on the meter in the x10 position. That's good enough for hobby use of a vintage geiger. Some models have trim adjustment pots inside, also mentioned in the user guides but you probably won't have to mess with them.

Nice knife and if you have an extra one send it to "Nutnfancy" KZread" channel and he may review it... Talked to some one yesterday that had some Fiesta Ware and she did not know that it may be radioactive... (May get a chance to test it !) Thank you for the video ! tjl

If it's orange made before 1973 then it's going to be a nice geiger counter reaction, but try not to create panic about fiesta or orange pottery because it is mostly soft beta activity. It's hard to educate people without causing alarm though. Most people just don't get it. You can filter soft beta with 3mm thick aluminum to get a more accurate gamma dose rate. Soft beta like from Fiesta = No Big Deal (as long as you don't eat the glaze or use it for a seat cushion all day long). Gamma, on the other hand would be a concern at those high CPM levels. :)
