Radioactivity detection using very simple ionization chamber and a single J FET transistor

Radioactivity detection using very simple ionization chamber and a single J-FET transistor

Today I will show a very simple ionization chamber that can detect radioactivity. I was able to detect with it ionizing radiation from a smoke detector (Am241 isotope). It’s also immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) due to a good shielding. This device doesn’t explicitly use any power supply. It’s connected to a multimeter set to measure resistance,

HOW TO MAINTAIN A REFLOW OVEN

HOW TO MAINTAIN A REFLOW OVEN?

Proper reflow oven maintenance can extend its life cycle, keep the machine in good condition, and improve production efficiency and product quality. One of the most important tasks for properly maintaining a reflow oven is remove the built-up flux residue inside the oven’s chamber. Although there is a flux collection system in modern reflow machines, there still is a

MEC extender – and you’re a level higher

MEC extender – and you’re a level higher

We already know, that Switches MEC Unimec switch in up to eight ways and also that they®re available as momentary or alternate (latching). UNIMEC switches feature perhaps only one “disadvantage” – that on the same PCB no other higher components can be used (which would be higher than the switch). If you®re satisfied with the UNIMEC features, but despite
