hi guys
i was just wondering if i can use one of those neon indicator as some sort of ionization champer
or as a crude geiger-mullar tube.
and use the basic circuit of the radiation detector to make a simple radiation detector/counter
this is the circuit i came up with :
so the circuit works as folowing :
1- the radiation ionize the neon which is already close to its breaking Point from the applied voltage
2-then the electron accelerated tho the anode passing to the capacitor forming a pulse
3-then this small pulse trasformed to a square wave using a shmidt triger circuit or a comparator
4-then counting it using the arduino .
i need your opinions if this could work to start building it ?
thanks.
