Show HN: I built a desktop radiation monitor with Raspberry Pi, brass and wood
Great work! I liked how well the vintage look and the modern core fit.<p>I'm not sure where I read it but it was stated that the Geiger counters which are manufactured after the Chernobyl (?) incident were not as accurate as those manufactured before it. The reason is that all the metal after the incident and the radiation experiments performed afterwards is contaminated with radiation particles which alter the radiation readings of the Geiger counter. Correct me if I'm wrong about this one.
