Holly Batchelor - Cloud Chamber

[proko77]

I loved it, especially the cosmic ray doorway!

[intercomsec]

There are two related but quite separate things going on. The cloud chamber, and the cosmic ray detector. The two pillars are part of the latter. The use of concident detection is quite a step upwards from the diffusion cloud chamber, and this young lady should rightly be congratulated.

beautiful and brilliant.

Awesome video.

I made one a year ago except instead I used americium 210 as my radiation source, a fish tank for the box and used acetone cooled by dry ice instead of direct contact to minimize variables. I'm 15 now and moving on to bigger things, can't believe that brat got so much recognition for such a silly reproduction of an age old piece of equipment!

[Berowra290997]

@liquidgrain Am-210? Are you sure you don't mean Am-241?

[KarbineKyle]

5/5! Awesome! Very nice demonstration indeed! Ionizing Radiation is an awesome field to study, if you know what your doing, of course! She does! I love the Atomic World too! Too much, if you want to know the truth! I love it! Thanks for this video!

What's with standing near the light emiting towers under it? I dont' see any clouds when she did that. XD And I know no physics just a few things on biology.

omg amazing i go 2 MES nd Dr Hely (my physics teacher) was saying how amazing u were nd i guess he was right ! :)

[hasari0antabolis]

Awesome!

[cpnnpr]

Really great! Thank you for this inspiration.

[locosway]

Wonder if she's related to Charles Batchelor.

[monkriddler]

Great physics demonstration (usually very hard to get working properly from experience) and good video work too. A++

[cyclissmo]

Now that is one intelligent young lady.

[Mojoman1982]

one of my mates sister...max batchelor is a ledge..and apparantly so is his sister? who knew..?

[thinkpinker]

she helped in my maths class!!!!

she is such a nice girl love her to bits

[DrakeDorosh]

What is IPA? Isopropyl Alcohol? What percentage?

This really is a great set up. I remember hearing about this Neil Bohr and Oppenhiemer and thinking I want to make one. Twenty years later I really hand it to you. Your coincident detector is simple enough and very worthy.

[srosefx]

99% IPA from boots ask over the counter, you may have to show some id though.

[RexNunc]

freaking amazing!

[jmc8197]

amazing

[autumndancer505]

She went to my school!!!!! i spoke to her!

[chronodyne]

high five!!!!

[Newtoon]

I discovered the cloud chamber quite late and regret that no one made a demo of it in my Science Education cursus. In class, we hear about radioactivity and particles but never see them. Thanks to this kind of quite simple experiment, we can see the stuff.

[macnation]

I bet if i did the first self sustaining controlled cold fussion i would beat her and win the super physics award. Now all I need is 500 billion dollars and a generator that could produce more energy than the entire united states.

[alphamone]

lol, i think.

[totemizer]

freaky :(

[NallePu]

She made snow...
