Lol! Thanks so much Chris! I hope that this radiation gave me sexual super powers… but the ladies haven’t thrown themselves to my feet just yet 😜🤣 Yeah the red edition is really nice. I’m also chuffed about it. It’s not too red but still catchy.
No I can’t, americium is an alpha emitter and this detector doesn’t detect alphas. I even tested it, I have Americium test source. But it counts the few weak x-rays very very slowly, because it is an alphas emitter. If you have an alpha detector than americium is a nice hot source! Btw This Chinese detector is a limp dick anyways 😂very insensitive with this tiny tube.
Danke Schon Wolfgang. Yeah this was a fun little project. Glad you liked the useless shenanigans 🤣I think the main useful takeaway is that you have /FLAG2 that you can trigger external interrupts with.
The giger counter is the bad version of it and normaly it has the long GM tube but sellers are making prifits for changing them and listing them the same price i think.
@@CallousCoder Seriously? Just watched the whole video and yeah... must not be a very large amount of it. Co-60 is Drop and Run dangerous. I'm not normally one to be shy around radioactive isotopes, but that's one of the ones I'm very cautious about.
Doesn't this require a cat that is neither dead nor alive? And the paradox is if he is going to pee in the corner or in the litter box, IIRC. Growing up in Colorado we had radioactive samples all over the place. In other news, I got the PicoRAM 6116 to work on my Multitech MPF-1B which isn't a MPF-1B but an E&L Instruments MT-80Z. Pretty cool!
You grew up in Colorado! Wow! I love Colorado. I didn’t know there was surface uranium there (I assume you are referring to). I know that to be in Utah. I drove from Denver to Utah (Moab) after my little brother flew back to New Orleans after our long weekend together in Colorado (such a great memory of him). I went to hunt for surface uranium in Moab but no success. I watched some videos on the PicoRAM, that’s a cool little device. Was the MPF-1B a license product that E&L also produced it? It looks so similar? I had some Great hacking fun on the MPF-1B in tech college. I wish we the PicoRAM back then. Because we had to write a laundry machine program. So we hand assembled it and over the course of those 4 lessons you had to retype the assembly in 🙄That grew and grew and you never did it error free.
Oh and the cat was inside of the case of the C64. I can’t say whether it was alive or dead when I put it in, but there may have been a reason why I painted the case red 🙄😜
@@CallousCoder We have open Uranium pits (still!). And back in the day, Rocky Flats could provide you with all of your isotopic needs. :) I have three of the E&L Foxes, and the earliest model that I have E&L didn't even bother to hide the MPF markings. They simply bolted it into the case. :) The next oldest one E&L put their own stickers over the MPF markings, and the -AZ model appears to be their own design. And the Pico is much easier to use for sure!
@@MrWaalkman I went to MOAB Utah to do uranium finding. But surface uranium was no longer to be found. You had to go into a mine but when I came (October) those excursions were closed. :( E&L Foxes are the Z80s in a suit case I believe right? And Yeah the PICO or the 8266/ESP32 are so much simpler in everything. But there's something about the old ways. The pain and the effort makes it more rewarding.
@@CallousCoder From the Brave browser AI (so take it with a grain of salt): Former uranium mill sites: These sites include: Rifle, Gunnison, Durango, Grand Junction, Maybell West, Maybell, Naturita, Slick Rock. I didn't include the Superfund sites since they may or may not have anything to do with Uranium. So it's all still there. Right there where the mining companies left it... Keep in mind that digging in any of these places ain't gonna make you any friends. Yes, E&L Foxes are in the briefcases (and there are at least two different sizes of the cases. One of mine is a fair bit deeper than the other), and they actually have two Z80 computers in them. The MPF as well as one from E&L (presumably). The E&L one on the left can do single-step among other tricks (I'd have to look at the board, but there is a bank of switches and other goodies). And they are a much more durable case than the MPF "VHS" case. They really are nice trainers. I also have a couple of Lab-Volt 6502 trainers.
@@Tezla0 I didn’t do it for this one because it takes forever. I did it for another one I did 10 years ago. And the P value was 0.003 something. So very very good. But I can’t recall the amount of numbers I had. It’s been 10 years. I think some where around 500k if I need to guess.

You can try Americium from a smoke alarm.
No I can’t, americium is an alpha emitter and this detector doesn’t detect alphas.

Mr. Coder, of the category 'Radioactive Materials', can I get the Barium-133?
Thank you, Quartet!
Lol 🤣 I had you more for a polonium-210 😉
This is really cool!

T2 in the beginning 😂
@@MenCaveTV yup! You know your classics
Fun fact: NMIs ignores interrupt flag so no need to CLI :)
You are right, force of habit to always stop interrupts when setting them up.
Where did you buy that? I am colector but i cant find those sources. Could you please tell me?
The giger counter is the bad version of it and normaly it has the long GM tube but sellers are making prifits for changing them and listing them the same price i think.
And there is a open source firmware that has RNG integrated
@@MatějŠvenda yeah usually you’d expect a J321 tube. But for this job in did fine.
You google Spectrum Techniques Oak Ride Tennessee. That’s where these sources came from back in 2014 when I bought them.
@@CallousCoder Thank you so much.
m-make it with cobalt 60
That’s there too 🤣I show the other 3 sources next to Cs-137
