I have successfully detected something, this might sound a little uncertain. But there definitely is detected some kind of radiation or particle energy that causes various levels of light generated in the BC408 scintillation plastic. It is being detected by being attached to the front of the photomultiplier tube. I have updated the article about […]

I have finished the first steps that included mapping the circuit boards, getting the unit to run and test it with a few simple test and finding out which input and outputs the module have. Schematics and further experiments with f.ex. scintillation crystals are set for the near future and will be announced when they

I had the chance to take this Eaton Powerware 30 kVA / 27 kW (9355-30-N-7-2x9Ah) uninterrupted power supply apart to look for parts worth salvaging for future reuse in other projects. Looking up the type on the Eaton website we learn that it is a UPS using double conversion topology that provides isolation from all

First light test and unfortunately under horrible conditions. We finished all the cabling and other small parts, bits and missing stuff in a days hectic work. In fact, by day, I mean that it that lasted all into the night. So we missed the opportunity of testing in darkness. There was no tuning performed, input
