No difference there use some non ionizing type of cesium I beleive and nano grams at thst just has to complete a circuit
@@derrekvanee4567 There are smoke detectors that use Americium and while they use a very tiny amount the type of radiation emitted is most certainly ionizing.
@@peterhaag9344 there was a boy that took radioactive materials from smoke detectors, gun sights, and lanterns. And used them to try and create a breeder reactor. While he ultimately failed (due to both him realizing the radiation it was giving off and being caught by the government). But he had already irradiated his home leading to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) classifying his mothers home as a Superfund hazardous materials site. And this was after his mother had actually three away most of the radioactive material through conventional garbage disposal. He was also arrested on the claim that he stole smoke detectors for rebuilding his reactor. To which he plead guilty. He was in the end be nicknamed the Nuclear Boy Scout and would die due to drug and alcohol complications.

Radiation is one of the most terrifying hazards known to man, you can't see it, smell it or taste it. It is known that during the Chernobyl disaster some victims experienced a phenomenon known as "radiation euphoria". It happens when someone is subjected to a large dose of radiation under a short amount of time. Some described it as feeling powerful and able to do anything, but it only lasted for a short amount of time before the symptoms of radiation sickness took its place.

What if you peel the banana?
I always thought of radiation as sort of a constant thing emanating from radioactive objects, it's interesting how it's sort of just a bunch of particles piercing through space. So if you get hit with radiation, it's like a bunch of microscopic stab wounds.

You should make an hour video of the particle trails. You’d be surprised how many would watch along with you!!❤
I went to a science demonstration type thing as a little kid once and a guy did this for us. It's been like 18 years and I've never seen or heard about this procedure since, but I still think about it all the time. So cool to see it again
Honestly there should just be a permanent livestream of one of these chambers, imagine just casually having this in the background and you suddenly see it light up with trails and it turns out you just witnessed some interesting event!
Train a camera on it and use some opencv to do some tracking of the trails and you'd have a decent source of entropy/random number seed
@@gazzat5 I think Cloudflare does this with lava lamps.

You've heard of the man who stuck his head in a particle collider, no?
That's why radioactive radiation is dangerous: it literally could penetrate/destroy cell membrane or even DNA of living being since it's so energetic.
Indeed we're bombarded by radiation everyday. But the comparision to stand nearby radioactive materal is like being shot by semi-auto pistol to gatling gun.
It is interesting how a banana still produces a few trails. Bananas are very, very slightly radioactive due to having trace amounts of Potassium 40 in them
But in the end they are somehow good for you
@@Crimsomreaf5555 radiation is all around us
There's an ambient amount of radiation too, like from the sun and stuff. It was most likely that.
And according to an experiment by explosions&fire ripe, dark spotted bananas have more potassium in them than green or yellow bananas.
Don’t remember if he found that bananas turn something else into potassium as it ripens or if the potassium just migrates from the peel to the fruit, but it was pretty cool nevertheless!

This completely changed the mental model I'd built in my head about radiation! I knew radiation is individual particles, but I assumed there would be thousands and thousands at all times, like rays of light from a flashlight.
What you're seeing here is Alpha radiation, literally ionised helium atoms being spewed out. Unfortunately, a cloud chamber can't be used to show X-rays or Gamma radiation, which, now that I think about it is probably for the best.
@@solartaire1 it shows gamma just not x ray Atleast from what I’ve heard
@@clarkortega1722 A Geiger counter can be used to detect alpha and beta particles as well as gamma radiation, whereas a cloud chamber reveals the presence of alpha and beta radiation, as well as protons and even muons, but it doesn't work for gamma or X-rays.
A Geiger counter clicks when it gets hit with a particle. We are a lot better dealing with periodic information from our auditory system than our visual system. If every click is one particle, a click rate that sounds like white noise is deadly, while a rate that sounds like a broken metronome is safe. You can think of each click as a small possibility that a single cell turned cancerous. Obviously, those possibilities add up over time.
same here, i always imagined it behaved like a gas. so i was expecting something similar to that video of what farts look like through a thermal camera.

Also fun fact, the time between decays and the direction of the resulting radiation particle (alpha or beta) are completely and utterly random.
You could use the decays from that video clip as a seed for an encryption system and it could not be recreated.
Depends on the material. Certain elements can be predicted when they decay, which is known as a half-life. A material with a half-life of (X) will decay either at that point or beforehand.
@@jesusofbullets ‘at that point or beforehand’ tells us that it is in fact random, your argument is flawed. There is uncertainty of the exact moment when alpha/beta decays will occur.
Half-life is not a calculation which you can use in order to figure out exactly when a radioactive particle will decay. Half-life is an estimation of the time it will take for one half of the starting material to decay i.e the time it takes for radioactivity to half in measure.
Although half-lives for differing elements have been defined the exact rate of decay is completely random. It is impossible to know with absolute certainty when a nucleus will decay.

I don't think they have fast enough cameras for it. One of the fastest things thyev ever filmed is the progression of cracks in glass which happens around 4,500 m/a. The slowest form radiation, alpha radiation, already moves at around 20,000 m/s. Then there is beta radiation and EM radiation (e.g. gamma and x-rays) which can be moving pretty damn close to the vacuum speed of light and we just can't film that reaction in this context. If anything the litter is likely the speed of condensation, with the radiation having long since passed through the vapour before it actually condenses and displays the particle's path.
