Quarantine sale extended
We’re still under lockdown here in Washington state. (Technically, it’s a “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order.)
As a result, I’m extending the Geiger Counter kit sale for another couple weeks, through April 30th. Stay home and stay healthy, friends!
Alpha radiation makes sparks, detects smoke, and eliminates static cling
Applied Science posted a video this week showing how a strong alpha source can be used to detect smoke or eliminate static cling. My Geiger Counter kit makes a cameo in the video.
Note that the SBM-20 Geiger-Müller tube that normally ships with the kit isn’t sensitive to alpha particles. To detect alpha particles you’ll need to source a Geiger-Müller tube with a mica window, such as the LND-712. There are also several options available on eBay.
My Geiger Counter kits are on sale this month during quarantine. Visit the MightyOhm Geiger Counter product page to learn more and to place an order.

Kyle’s LoRaWAN-enabled Geiger Counter
Kyle Gabriel created this LoRaWAN bridge for the MightyOhm Geiger Counter kit. He’s using a Moteino Mega with a LoRaWAN transceiver and a color OLED display to show status.
