<t>An *extremely* interesting article, Richard. <br/> <br/> I remember several introductory nuclear texts, stressing that a neutron "isn't just a proton and an electron". But what if it is, as you say?<br/> <br/> And what about other decay modes? When a nucleus has "too many" neutrons, it undergoes ...

OK, so we can (maybe) store the hydrogen now. I'm still not sure where/how we're going to GET the hydrogen in the first place. (Only processes that don't require more energy than the resulting hydrogen can produce need apply)

<t>I've got a stash of BYD33M HV diodes (1kV, 1A, 300nsec). Not ideal for building that 50 kV multiplier, but some nice uses on the low end of "HV". <br/> <br/> If anyone needs a few, let me know, and I'll be glad to send some your way. <br/> <br/> I used to have some 10 kV diodes, but don't believe...

Am I missing anything...

<t>Does anyone know anything about this beast? I've done some web <br/> searches, but can't seem to find any info. I have a line on one (an ebay <br/> seller who didn't meet reserve for his), but it would be a bear to play with, <br/> without any pinouts. It might be a bear to play with even *with* ...

It would be fairly easy to interface either my GM-10 or the devices from Aware into Labview, you'd just have to write a low-level VI to integrate the readings over a time period.

Aware makes good stuff. If I can too my own horn, take a look at http://www.blackcatsystems.com/GM as well.

<t>I can get a reasonable reading from a small bit if salt substitute (KCl) using my GM-10 detector, and much better results using the GM-45. In my case I am mostly picking up the betas.<br/> <br/> I've often thought it would be humorous to take a geiger counter to the supermarket (clicker at full v...
