Osserva i raggi cosmici con la Cloud Chamber
Welcome to the "Wilson's Cloud Chamber", a classical particle detector that was used for measuring cosmic rays (it first revealed the positron, an important discovery honoured with the Nobel Prize given to Anderson in 1932). We made an opensource version with Arduino, thermocouples, Peltier cells, IKEA pieces, lasercut parts and recycled water coolers, for less than 2000 Eur. The detector's surface is 25x25 cm, it operates continuously (unlike the dry-ice-based systems) and tracks of charged particles (electrons, protons, alpha particles, muons) are visible with naked eyes.
