Does anyone in #Philly have a #radioactive source that produces X-ray/gamma or beta #radiation, or know where I can visit / borrow one?
I bought a geiger counter alternative on Kickstarter, and I have no idea if it works. I could buy radioactive test material, but then I would be intentionally creating the situation I am trying to avoid: radiation in my house.
So I want to find a gamma or beta radiation source not in my house, to test my radiation detector, but I don't want to keep it.
Do you have a link to the Geiger counter?
I'm looking for a low cost hobbyist level one (that's still reliable) ie. for investigating potential places to live and/or vintage electronics, etc...
@float13 I'll give you the link, but you have to understand: I'm posting about it because I'm not sure if it works! It might be a scam! I have one, so they succeeded in shipping a physical object, but it may not function as advertised.
