Gilded Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Hmmh. I don't really know where I should put this, could even put it in the GD, put since it has to do with... err, electronics and gadgets, after about 5 seconds of careful consideration, I put this here. Sooo... I've been going to buy a Geiger counter for a long time, and now I'm thinking which model is the best. It would be used to monitor quite low levels of radiation (operating range from 0.01uSv/h to 1mSv/h maybe). A digital display wouldn't hurt either. I have considered the Inspector-model: http://www.geigercounters.com/SpecInsp.htm (you can even buy a nice piece of software for it ) Any better suggestions?

Aardvark Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I want to meet the kind of people who buy those statues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 And I want you to as well. Not just despite the fact I know what you'll do to them, but because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 Heh, I remember that there was a parody of those on Conan O'Brien. If only I could measure radioactivity levels with a Jesus statue... *sigh* Guess I'll have to buy both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drz Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 ok that cuts it. I'm gonna start selling jesus statues out my trunk. Wait, I need a trunk. Doomed again heh, and I gullibly followed atiny's link thinking "What in the hell kinda geiger counter is catholicshopper.com" gonna be selling?" Boy was I shocked. I haven't looked for them here, but you might check http://www.sciam.com they've got all sortsa surplus stuff for a nice price. Chemistry, electronics, and other stuff too.

Gilded Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Couldn't find any at sciam.com. :< And I forgot to say that it wouldn't hurt to have the counter shipped from the EU-area. One provider said that shipping from US to Finland costs 119 dollars. One hundred and nineteen dollars for shipping. SHIPPING. ... 119$ FOR GODDAMN SHIPPING!

Gilded Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 It would be nice to scan public places (or even better, nuclear power plants when you're on a tour or something) with a Geiger counter and shout "OH F*** WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" and see how many people start running around in panic. You might achieve a better result if you wear official looking white overalls and a weird headgear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris_73 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 LOL that would work brilliantly especially considering there is a terroist threat, but bewarned you best be a bloody good runner, you'll have who knows chasing after you including the police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
