B How can I make an original cloud chamber?

AI Thread Summary
Creating an original cloud chamber presents challenges due to the commonality of traditional designs, typically involving a simple box structure. The user seeks innovative ideas beyond the standard crystal or plastic box filled with CO2 ice and alcohol. They have considered using a bottle but feel it lacks originality, as similar designs already exist. The discussion emphasizes the need for unique concepts that differentiate from typical DIY cloud chambers. Innovative approaches or alternative materials are sought to achieve a distinctive cloud chamber design.

I'm trying to do a cloud chamber, but I think they are all too common and simple. It's just a box. I've thought about doing in a bottle, but it is just too weird, and is not original. Any other ideas or hints?

Define "original" in your criteria.

Zz.
 
I mean, not the tipical cristal or plastic box in which you put CO2 ice and alcohol. I've thought about the design of a bottle, but that's alredy done :(
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
