Can it tell the difference between an amateur terrorist dirty bomb explosion and a near peer nation fusion weapon detonation. From a distance.

New email update coming soon? I enjoy reading about your work/progress, haven’t seen an email update since late December.
AHHHHHBEARS@reddit
Harbor Freight has them for half this
BetterGeiger@reddit (OP)
I assume this is a joke but I wouldn't put it past HF to come up with some kind of weird janky thing in this product category.
BetterGeiger@reddit (OP)
Interested in learning about radiation? Or spooking your friends with Geiger counter click click click? Cold war LARP? Gift for a nerd and/or prepper friend? This might be the deal for you.
I really struggled to come up with a good code for this deal. I was going to do “HORMUZBOUCHE” but I was not sure if most people would understand the reference. I also thought about “DOIHORMUZYOU” but it’s not very punchy. So, I just kept it simple.
If you include any add-on (uranium ore sample, waterproof case, faraday bag) and use code HORMUZ you save $30, which basically makes an add-on free.
These detectors are made in the US… by me (radiation nerd with PhD in nuclear engineering). They are designed to accurately measure radiation levels over a wide range (including very high dangerous levels) and to be as rugged, reliable, and simple to use as possible, while still being affordable.
As always, AMA about radiation, radiological emergencies, etc.
There are currently two detector options, here's a short explanation:
S2 - This is the choice if you just want to own something in case of emergency. Uses AA batteries, very simple, very high maximum range.
S2L - This one is much higher sensitivity, so get this if you want to use it not just in an emergency, but also "hobby" use like finding radioactive antiques, uranium in nature, etc. It's $50 more than the others but picks up small changes in radiation level much faster, which makes it a better "search" tool.
Don't stress too much over the options, they are both at least decent at all things.

Two questions:
1) Does the maybe-there-maybe-not-semi-enriched uranium Iran possesses have any value on the open market? Not familiar with bomb economics; and
2) Is there any way to get digital out over something like DB9 on a serial protocol?
BetterGeiger@reddit (OP)
Enriched uranium is an extremely valuable thing for many reasons. There is no "open market" to speak of, though, that's a really complicated world of regulations, politics, etc. Mostly governments and large nuclear energy corporate entities buying and selling such things.
For data out, nothing like that is set up but it's pretty easy to get the digital pulse from the board, each pulse is a radiation count, it's coming out of a 2.54mm header. That's intentional, to allow DIY types to play a bit if they want. Could use any number of separate boards to count that signal and record it and do whatever with it.
Vorpalis@reddit
Love that you built this ability into it!
notguiltyaf@reddit
HORMUZBOUCHE is hilarious.
BetterGeiger@reddit (OP)
Haha thank you
Konabro@reddit
$149? Not great, not terrible.
BetterGeiger@reddit (OP)
I rate this reference 3.6 stars. You are probably assuming the scale goes much higher than that, but no... just 3.6.
Cannonical718@reddit
Have you seen this meme before? Sorry, it won't let me upload images in the comments so I made a hyperlink for it. It's honestly one of my favorite memes of all time because it just scratches that mental itch of both the nerd in me and the humorous side in me. The more you look at it, reading everything, the funnier it gets 😂
BetterGeiger@reddit (OP)
Haha haven't seen that before but it's great.
jedimaster4007@reddit
They gave us the rating they had
Cannonical718@reddit
What if I told you that was 3.6 percent off?
patikoija@reddit
Better.
MaverickTopGun@reddit
I have one of these, they're pretty sweet.
BetterGeiger@reddit (OP)
Thank you.
MaverickTopGun@reddit
Is there a way to output the data I get from this to a pc?
BetterGeiger@reddit (OP)
Not out of the box. You can access digital pulses if you want to do some DIY data logging.

Stalker find some cover blowout coming soon
scottiecrossfit@reddit
How much to add in iridium 192 test source? Antimatter would also be an acceptable gamma source.
BetterGeiger@reddit (OP)
I'm pro matter. All matter matters.
Ir-192... That's a cool source but would require complicated licensing procedures to own/buy/sell.
PutridDropBear@reddit
Holding out for the BESTgeiger @ $149.
good/better/best
BetterGeiger@reddit (OP)
In this economy?
PutridDropBear@reddit
ALARA right?
BetterGeiger@reddit (OP)
Enjoy it while it lasts.

Weird looking gun

Some go click then boom. This one is for boom then... Click click click click click
