Re: Part II of new run
No idea. There are some mixed mineral samples, trinitite, lantern mantles, radium bridge markers, couple big F3 smoke detectors etc in a couple boxes back in the corner. And about 800# of remelted

Re: Part II of new run
Nick where is the Po212 at 8.78 MeV coming from? It will be useful when we post data to give all the parameters of that run. The spectra is really says nothing without knowing the peak count, count

Re: Part II of new run
This was with a filter I made by folding card stock in half and sandwiching a piece of Geo's filter roll inside. I punched 1" holes with a gasket punch. Note that I did not punch the two small holes

Re: Part II of new run
Shape looks good . what filters are you using? The HQ FP5211-47 and the FPAE-47 give a filter error and restricted flow. From a GAST vac pump. (26lpm) The PTFE5u work ok (30lpm) in the metal carrier.

Re: Part II of new run
I suppose so! Like I said, the exhaust fan was on, so it would be pulling some air through leaks. How do you feel about the spectrum shape now? If you let me know soon enough, I could maybe knock out

Re: Part II of new run
Nick, With only 0.2 pCi/L after 4.3 hrs says you don¡¯t have much of a Radon problem or that mancave is pretty well aerated. Dud Sent: Friday, July 1, 2022 1:49 AM To: [email protected]

Part II of new run
Some pics at start, after an hour, and then a few hours later. Rough side of filter material facing up this time!

New run on Smartcam with Geo filter
Exhaust fan has been running, but I kept the door closed except going in and out a few times.

Re: Geo's filter material trial
Nick, A rather strange spectra. The Po-214 at 7.6 Mev has a strange shape and the beta down somewhere around 1.8 is distorting the curve fit. I wonder if that has an effect on the Rn calc and where is

Geo's filter material trial
Ran this over 5.5 hours. Shed exhaust fan off, closed up overnight, door closed during the entire run except for going in or out, so minimal air exchange.

This is a new (3yrs old) 20x20 metal building I built here. I did leave the door open and a fan on because it's so hot in here. The tapered part is to ensure you insert the card the right way. I just

You need a faster computer, more memory and a Solid State drive. Probably get rid of XP as well. Dud Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2022 5:17 PM To: Nick Andrews; [email protected] Subject:

Re: Nick's first unit run
What ferrite? I just ran it in . You have very low radon, more like outdoors. I generally have 2-3 pCi/l. After running for a short period it runs up to 4 or 5 the drops down to a fairly constant 2-3.

Here's what the cards measure. The sensor head is spring loaded and will safely accept at least .097" thick filters. I opened the sensor and used a depth micrometer in both positions. Normal resting
