Measure your Radiation Exposure with a DIY Geiger Counter
With cell phones causing brain cancer and nuclear waste infecting the soil, who knows how much radiation you receive everyday. Okay, not really, but it’s definately a fun and unique weekend project. We’ve unearthed three fantastic tutorials just for you. The only uncommon part is the Geiger tube which can be picked up cheap on eBay.
- By far the most comprehensive tutorial, learn everything you’ll ever need to know about the schematic, PCB, and even shielding.
- Next we have the Geiger counter with USB interface.
- Less of a pictorial than the first two, this final tutorial also goes into more a more detailed build.
