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 itΒ ionizing radiation from a smoke detector (Am241Β 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, […]

RESEARCHERS DEVELOP NEW HYBRID SOLAR PANEL THAT CAN GENERATE POWER FROM RAIN TOO

The researchers atΒ Soochow UniversityΒ in China, have published a paper on theΒ hybrid deviceΒ that is able to harness the power ofΒ sun and rainΒ using aΒ hybrid panel. By attaching a transparentΒ nanogeneratorΒ to a silicon solar cell, researchers have designed a device that harvests solar energy in sunny conditions and the mechanical energy of falling raindrops in rainy conditions. The dual
