Today I Want To Present To You My

latest radiation detector and now I don’t mean the Altemus which you can see here which is another professional device. I was donated and I’m actually going to compare it to the gamma scale in a future video, but what I’m actually talking about today is this yeah that’s my mobile phone. Indeed, and while there are a lot of applications that will produce a Geiger counter which is fake, which works by for example, tilting the phone and just gives a fake impression of a Geiger counter. They’re actual real applications of Geiger counters out there and the way it works is probably you remember my videos where I was visualizing ionizing radiation striking the camera UK that works especially in high radiation areas, for example, around the pitch planner uranium ore and some smart people actually managed to turn those. Little flashes into a national UK or even those reading but doesn’t work well well.

Were Gonna See That Today Were

gonna check out the radioactivity counter-application by a voice detect line which is available on Google Play from Lee, known as the Android Market for the Android phone but probably it’s also available for the UK. You’re You’re gonna have to check that out so let’s actually start the application first of all it will tell you to cover your camera lens. Because of course you don’t want to measure any light. You just want to measure ionizing radiation, so you will have to cover your lens light proof and I found the best method to do this to actually use just a small piece of aluminum foil household aluminum foil, which is entirely light proof as opposed to the black tape, which is not entirely light proof and then put one layer of the black tape on the aluminum foil. So you have a one in force and light proof but also very thin our light shield that will let a lot of or most of ionizing radiation through and then you can just put that over your lens preferably even under the covers so you.

Remove The Plastic Lid And Put It

directly on a Lancer keep the Stewart on the answer. If you make sure that no light can enter from the sides together and you can see the bit with aluminum foil and the black tape here and then you just cover the lens and you’re set and what you can see here is an already calibrated application. Every step is very thoroughly explained on the website our decline dot de but also there’s a little help file that comes with the application itself so you’ll be able to find out what to do easily Yeah you can see that the taping and at first you’re gonna have to set the noise, which will be an automatic calibration by the software basically and I’ll just determine the noise of your actual camera in there off the actual UK so that will take quite. A quite a long time maybe ten minutes Maybe 15 minutes. It’ll just be a repetitive measurements of one minute and then it starts again and tells you to please wait, but that’s totally normal and after that you’ll have it calibrated and what it does in that time you can actually fight in settings.

You Can See That The Noise The

exposure. The border of the actual UK has been set. This is done automatically by the software during calibration, but you can also manually change these values that something is not quite right. You can also set your average background radiation. Let’s say to nano sievert per hour, which is 0.

2 Micro Sievert Per Hour.

You can enable or disable the front cam. In case you have two cameras in your phone. You can enable a disable the alarm alarm threshold where an a sound will go off. You can enable or disable the click sound.

Im Gonna Turn On The Click Set Now

and enable or disable the location settings which will be using UK tracking there’s a little help file as I mentioned before, which gives you a rough idea of what to do the only downside is the English is not very good. Sometimes the sentences don’t make sense but also get you started no problem even for the non-experienced user it’s very easy. Then there’s the option to set noise, which is basically just recalibration in case you were doing something wrong. Calc has a nice little conversion table here for converting the most common units like the UK Rundgren stuff like this gray now with the buttons on the main window of the software. You actually have a little speck button here.

I I Press That You Will Get A

spectrum of the radiation on the UK. This will not allow you to do gamma spectroscopy, but it is more just for calibration of the noise sending it’s not like this is a gala spectrum. You can switch back to graph, which is just a oops, which is just the counts per minute. You got so within the past 3 minutes. We got 11 counts, 13 counts and currently 5 counts for 30 seconds of mattering you can clear the whole graph so restart again.

In This Bit Of The Window.

You can see the flashes of radiation worthy a UK Ashley registered incoming well photons but not light but ionizing radiation. Now here is also an interesting button start lock can you press that you can enter a name naturally lock the activity so you might for example, carry your phone in your pocket. Walk around with a lock sitting on very discreet and just walk around and actually find out where you have been measuring increased amounts of radiation and how that works is simply by you can see here. If you go to statistic in the menu.

You Can Choose Your Lock.

So now you can see my lock file here you can make different adjustments, a bar graph or different one minute blocks or more than that UK or you could switch over to Michael Gray per hour. For example, but what you can also do is with the menu In here you can see you can delete this stuff export it to for example UK but you. can also show it on the map, so if you have UK tracking enabled and then you can later on review where you have been on the map and where you have found increased amounts of radiation, So I’m not going to click on here because I don’t want to reveal where I live exactly but this is a really cool feature in my opinion, and then there’s the adjust button in this menu here, which is also very important because you can see that it actually converts UK reading in micrograph hour before you made any adjustment in this window. You will not get a microgram per hour reading and actual equivalent that was reading But you will just get the UK reading so how to find out that those numbers who are just like how many UK equal to what kind of dose right well you can actually find that within a table on the website of the manufacturer.

You Can See The The Settings That

will be done by auto calibration. But you can also see how many UK equal to how much of a dose rate for your specific sensor for your specific smartphone it has this for most of the phones you can see where’s mine that’s mine it’s just the ideas X3 from HawaIi or however, you say that and you can see there’s also a rating of stars how well these detectors these cameras actually work. Mine just has three stars and it works. Best was four stars and up and it’s very bad If you have a smartphone, It’s just one or two stars. So before buying this application, you can actually check out if it works.

If This Application Works Well With Your Smartphone

on this website on this extensive table here but now what we really need to do is check the reading of this Geiger counter application versus the actual true proper two scimitar so for now we just have background radiation and you can see it’s very similar to the readings you actually get on the real decimetres we’re just gonna wait for about five minutes now so the thing can adjust and probably average reading which will be shown here. So let’s see so you can see after a couple of minutes. Our friend fluctuating counts incoming counts, but the dose reading is still around the normal true. Radiation readings around here so what we actually have to do now Is bring a source close to the little camera and see what happens so first of all I will be using the main isotope use for calibration SUsan one hour 37 in front of the gamma count with the shields clothes and you can see it produces a reading of about 1. 5 micro sievert per hour.

So Were Gonna Do The Same For

the Altima here we’ll just put that up and you can see it quickly. Hoodies is a quite different reading of 3. 5 micro sievert per hour. That is because I guess shield on the national Altimas we’re behind the gamma gamma low counter is actually less than the shield with the gamma Scout. I’ve put the Gamma Scout on there just with a plastic you can see that we’re getting a higher reading as well.

So Thats A Beta And Gamma Radiation

entering now What really matters is what will that little application do so? I’m gonna start just location again well putting it right on where the camera is you know what you can see. Of course it doesn’t work as fast that’s for sure doesn’t work as fast as the real. This emerges and you can see after a minute or so it seems to be detecting slightly more than the average background radiation that we had before well. We’re going to give this an equal five minutes same as we did before and then have a look again so yeah what you can actually see after well almost five minutes average we get two point six two microgram, which equals to two point six two micro sievert power for the radiation. It it can detect which is beta and gamma radiation so.

This Is Quite Similar To The Actual

readings that we’re getting are the proper two symmetries. Surprisingly you can see that one of the bars here is really high and for that display the reading of like 15 micro Sievert power I suppose that is because of a random incident off. For example, Compton scattering right within the UK, so I produce a very high reading for once, but if you take an average reading of at least five minutes of that source. It seems to be quite similar to those real readings and you can definitely measure it it just takes a much longer time to react to it, but you can measure it and again on the website. It says difficult to measure anything below 1 to 10 micro Sievert per hour remember yet about 3 micro sievert per hour on the truth of signatures and a little.

Sensitive Device Also Not So Good

for the good ones above 4 stars. You will still need a very long measurement time and remember my who my cheap phone still only has 3 stars, so let’s ask me to check out a stronger source and see how it behaves. Then so here’s the strongest source my all-time favorite uranium ore let’s see what happens if we put the Gamma Scout on top of that you can already detect it from a distance.

Summary

Today we’re gonna check out the radioactivity counter-application by a voice detect line which is available on Google Play from Lee, known as the Android Market for the Android phone but probably it’s also available for the UK . The way it works is probably you remember my videos where I was visualizing ionizing radiation striking the camera UK that works especially in high radiation areas, for example, around the pitch planner uranium ore and some smart people actually managed to turn those. little flashes into a national UK or even those reading but doesn’t work well well well.
