Description: Interesting applications of a strong polonium-210 alpha radiation source. The half life is only 140 days, so the Staticmaster brushes must be replaced every year or so. Great technical article on ionization smoke detectors: circuitcellar.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/CC2011110601.pdf Staticmaster refill: amazon.com/Static-Master-4331991414-Static-Master-Refill/dp/B0000ALKDH Ionization chamber: aliexpress.com/item/32838644316.html Carl Willis' video on spark gap detectors.
