How To Make a Homemade Particle Detector for Under $5! (Action Lab Extra) 

The radiation particles would be even more visible if you had painted your black paper with the vantablack 2.0 paint you used in another video. Just an idea.

Put a magnet below it. Maybe you'll see a curved paths showing charge.

I'm jealous of your kids. It must be fun to be able to do experiments all the time...

Let me just pull my dry ice out of my freezer. My deep freezer.

That is so kool!!! :-D Thank you for constructing the cloud chamber and publishing it here!!! :-)

This is so awesome!

this is amazing!

Aww bless your kids their adorable especially Henry 👍🏽

Thank you so much for the lesson

That's awesome! I'm surprised you didn't put this one on your main channel. My question is: if the particles are going at 40% of the speed of light, why is it possible to see the end-to-end formation of the trails? Why don't the lines just appear all at once?

!!!so amazing this should be on the main channel

Thats awsome man!

This is really awesome! Why didn’t any of my science teachers show stuff like this when I was in school?

That’s so good man thanks or your channel x

You would be the best science teacher ever!!!!

This is really cool

Awesome! ❤️

Great video! Would it be even more visible if you had more vapor?

Now that is cool!

This is crazy cool! As other already have mentioned this deserves to be on your main channel

So cool, wow!

What if a put some magnets in the cloud chamber? What would be the best way to capture Dirac's antiproton for example?? Thanks for a a very pleasant and clear explanation!

Amazing!

Wow this is super cool, it should be on the main channel

👍Amazing!

How brilliant you 're

Amazing

Amazing.

uhhhh, Holy shit that is incredible! I could stare at that all day and still be memorized as if seeing it for the first time. as long as I had enough alcohol and dry ice of course.

You can also get dry ice at most welding stores

Do the beta particles bend because they have less mass and are deflected more easily?

My students love this one ❤ it creeps them out and gets their attention every time! Especially the anime crowd 👹🤫

This is pure gold, guys we need to make this guy famous! :D

Creepy. I love it.

will normal ice at about -18°C also work ?

Now those are lucky kids.

Short, simple and cheap.

very good

can use compress air bottle to freeze also

If you had uranium oxide next to the outside, would it increase drastically?

could you place a magnet pole under the detector?

Great video as always. Thinking doomsday here: Dry ice will not be available... Could you condense the alcohol into a vapor using high pressure. Say, we had a clear container that can stand up to the pressure, how much pressure would we need to get the alcohol to condense into vapor? Can we use smoke?

I gonna do it with the nano-coated copper plate since it's pitch black and may have some different performance : )

just a quick question, does it also work on regular ice? thank you for your amazing video

Would it work with normal ice ?

Radiation is my friend

Is this radiation like, able to detect with a Geiger counter?

I'm curious to know what would happen if two of those particles collided with each other. Would anything significant happen?

This would be interesting to see with a sample of a radioactive element right next to the cup. I know there are samples of stuff like uranium that you can get that don't emit dangerous levels of radiation. Is there any chance you'd be willing to revisit this video with a sample of a radioactive element?

Don’t even think you could play “Nuclear Dodge Ball” with 15,000 hitting you per second! 😳😳😳. 👍👍👍

Everybody gangsta until the entire micro atmosfere began to be shooted by thousands every second

What happenes if you put a peace of uranium or some thing radioactive in the chamber?

Cool

Action Lab can you tell me that to do this experiment we have to only use rubbing alcohol or we can use something else ? Please tell me in the form of a reply . Please I really want to know . Your subscriber and viewer -: Mahashweta Pati from India

What if action lab was my Physics Teacher 🔥🔥 Then no one hates physics 😅

Can we find rp with the help of it rp means radio active material for eg. Copper material with have irradium

Love Science! ^.^ x

I will have lead walls in my house, will that even help?

would be cool if you got radioactive metal for this

Will this detect Neutrinos?

Science... on a budget!

Okay, but just WHERE am I supposed to get dry ice from?

Action Lab: Want to be confused for 5 minutes? Me: Yes, yes I do.

Also maybe put black paper around the other half of the cup

Please try with freezer ice and table salt mix. Instead of dry ice

This is so good , put on your main channel maybe? for more views . what a waste !

Need link for dry ice under $5

This is pretty much a giger counter then to a degree then yeah?

I wonder what it would look like next to a smoke detector.

Dude! Watch where you're shooting off ur beta particles 💦🧏👈☄️ .. u got me right in the face.. could've taken my eye out

How about putting a bunch of bananas rich in potassium next to it? Wouldn’t that increase the number of vapour lines? 😂

Who is here after ElectroBoom?

Oh. So apparently Action Lab makes shorts even before it had become a less than a minute thing.

It almost looks like bullets going through ballistic gel.😂

An unaddressed issue with the particle-antiparticle Vacuum - is the idea of self-annihilation. The claim is that, for example, electron-positron pairs 'pop into existence briefly then immediately annihilate.' Is it possible that the particle-antiparticle constituents of the Vacuum are actually more persistent than that? And perhaps their spin and electric charges cancel and the civilian world has no capable measuring devices to detect them? Since we know from the lab that electron-positron annihilation produces gamma rays - if the particle-antiparticle constituents of the Vacuum were as short-lived as is currently believed - gamma rays should be detectable, in abundance, in the Vacuum. And they are not. It's likely that by some mechanism - perhaps a vortex created by the opposite spins of the particle-antiparticle pairs? - that they actually are a bit more persistent, more long-lived, than common physics now believes.

😯😯😲😳😳

It's not under $5 ,day ice is expensive where I'm at. Not to mention the fact that it's super hard to get ahold of

Has anyone tried this?

15 km per second is way less than 5% the speed of light

Does this mean that you could purposefully give some one cancer. I swear I no wrongful intentions I'm just wandering is that possible?

For some reason I find your face to appear as if it were just edited onto your body lmao

FOR SCIENCE!

for under 5$ in my country 5$ is 70000

IF PEOPLE ONLY KNEW

Take this is chynoble because they have alot of radiation there, half joke, it would be interesting to see it

Are you a scientist

„It can cause cancer. Whats even more amazing is that…“ HOW IS CANCER AMAZING?

Try coffee ☕🎉

You could see the particles better if you held a brick of plutonium

3:40 5% of the light speed is 15 Kilometers Per second you say ? Bro its *15000* Km per sec. Light speed is = 299,792. Lets keep it 300,000 km per sec. ((300,000 km per sec x (5/100)) its 5%. You'll get 15000 km per sec.

put a banana close to it

People living near an Atomic powerplant: Why is mine looking like a smoke-machine?

Put it in a microwave

I know you have the intellect to work with artificial gravity devices that impose coherence on the particle-antiparticle constituents of the Vacuum. Even if you're not aware of this type of tech, I bet you're open-minded enough for such work. Artificial gravity, the cliche' techniques, are these two: 1) a short-duty-cycle very high frequency pulsing is used to cohere and drain energy from the particle-antiparticle 'soup' in the immediate vicinity of the device. 2) a long-duty-cycle, not-pulsed (ie. continuous) high frequency is used to cohere and add energy to the particle-antiparticle constituents in the immediate vicinity of the device The key observations: A) all objects are immersed in the particle-antiparticle 'soup' of the Vacuum B) this 'soup' is not static - it can be modified. The immense number of accelerating charged particles that make up the Earth modify it C) inertial drag is created by the acceleration of charged particles in matter objects D) gravity is a gradient decline in inertial drag You can think of inertial drag as a 'potential energy loss' imposed on any matter object that is accelerated. In Earth gravity, acceleration commences with no inertial drag. Artificial gravity devices: - create an increase in inertial drag using technique (1) above ('hovering' mode) - decrease inertial drag and create acceleration using technique (2) above Gravity is not an attraction. The Vacuum is being altered - the particle-antiparticle constituents surrounding Earth have induced dipoles from the accelerations of charged particles of the planet (the natural accelerations that all atoms possess). By aligning the nuclei and creating resonant oscillations, a pulsed mode increases inertial drag in the immediate vicinity (hovering mode), and continuous oscillations decrease inertial drag (aka create an artificial gravity field). I know you're intelligent enough to digest this. But if you get nothing else, just remember this part: A matter object in the Vacuum that is far enough from any gravity source to make gravity negligible (gravity drops with the square of the distance) - if that matter object is accelerated (say, by firing a rocket for 5 seconds) in any direction, the same magnitude of inertial drag will be present regardless of what direction the matter object is accelerated. In other words, you can think of inertial drag as an "energy-transducing" or "energy-draining" envelope that surrounds all matter objects. What if you could 'pop open' one side of that envelope so that you could accelerate in one direction with LOW or NO ROCKET THRUST? If you could 'puncture a hole' in the 'inertial drag envelope' surrounding the matter object, by altering the Vacuum, you could accelerate the matter object with LESS or NO ROCKET FUEL. That's what gravity is. It is, conceptually, a 'puncture' in the inertial drag 'envelope' that all matter objects are immersed in. You can create such a 'puncture' and eliminate the need for rocket thrust by way of method (2) above. .

Let's bring it to Chernobyl

Around 3:30 radiashion is no longer my friend

15km/s is not 5% the speed of light. 5% Speed of light would be 15000km/s

gamma is not a particle, right?

How about trade it for 6.8 trillion dollars
