Detecting Radiation Using High Voltage Plasma (Spark Detector)

3 years ago

Bringing light to the invisible, this spark detector takes advantage of Alpha radiation's tendency to ionize air. Add 6,000 volts of uncaged plasma, and now you're able to see the individual pathways which each alpha particle took! Can this be taken even a step...further? Here's the video on the DIY high voltage supply: https://youtu.be/qaGmNRZG-Yg . I DO NOT encourage you to take apart smoke alarms, period, as they may contain radioactive dust.
