Nothing Labs review of the MightyOhm Geiger Counter Kit

Leave a comment

Rich Olsen, creator of the Electronic Cloud Chamber and proprietor of Nothing Labs, just posted a video review of the MightyOhm Geiger Counter kit on YouTube:

If you didn’t get to see Rich’s cloud chamber at the NY Maker Faire, you’ll definitely want to check it out. This thing is awesome! (And he has kits and test sources for sale!)

Nothing Labs Cloud Chamber

Here’s a video that shows it in operation. I can personally attest that it looks just as good (if not better) in person.

If you can’t afford one of his (very nicely put together) cloud chamber kits, Rich also wrote an instructable that will show you how to make your own cloud chamber with an ATX power supply and two Peltier coolers.

Thanks for the review, Rich!

Thinking about buying a Geiger Kit? Order now or wait 2 weeks!

If you’re on the fence about picking up one of my shiny new Geiger Counter kits, you might want to hurry up and make a decision. Here’s why:

Orders placed before noon CST tomorrow (9/8) will ship tomorrow afternoon.  All other online orders will ship after 9/21.

Tomorrow evening I hop on a plane and begin my (long and indirect) journey to the NY Maker Faire. Orders placed after noon tomorrow won’t ship before 9/21, two weeks from today.  Not only that, but I have only reserved a handful of kits for online sales, and since I expect to sell out at the Maker Faire, there’s a good chance that kits won’t be back in stock before the end of the month.

So, long story short, if you are interested in purchasing a Geiger Kit and won’t be at the Maker Faire, do so before noon tomorrow or there’s a  chance you won’t get one before October 1st!

By the way, this applies to the Rescue Shield and ICSPOV as well!
