For more details, visit my blog! http://kennethfinnegan.blogspot.com/2010/12/build-your-own-cloud-chamber.html I was very high on alcohol and CO2, so never mind all of my mistakes as to what particles you see; I was entirely wrong.

  • Time to bust open the smoke detector.

  • @jeriellsworth I know! We tried getting one off the ceiling, and finding my dad's old photography brushes, but we couldn't do either. Really need to plan out particle sources next time before the dry ice hits the table...

  • I couldn't see anything in the cloud.

  • A static source might help the most in the short term. Get a balloon, rub it on your head, set it on top of the cloud chamber... the explanation is a little hand-wavy, but its suppose to help clear the extra stray ions in the chamber, and allows the super saturated alcohol to spend its magic on the radioactive stuff.

  • "watch it on HD" umm yeah right...how? ^^ (only 480p available)

  • Cool!, I saw like 5 or 6, try again with the light behind the camera PLEASEEEE!

  • Cool! :)
