The world of low level radioactivity is all around us - but don't be alarmed! It's all part of the natural order of our slightly radioactive universe. In this video I explore some common objects, and also show how to make your own Click Box for your own detector. The Geiger-Müller detector gives us a view - or rather, a listen - into that invisible world of high energy particles that emit from just about everything and everywhere - including ourselves. Really? Oh, yea - Let's explore!

    I just got my Geiger counter recently because I’ve been seeing strange indentations in my backyard. One place in particular is about 4 to 5 foot across and has bent the fence in my backyard. The Geiger counter reading on the spot is reading 112 V/m and saying it is a harmful level on the Geiger counter. From what I have read it’s extremely high. I also have a picture of the spot. I have also observed footprints leading away from the site and nobody has been here. Who should I contact about it? I am an online teacher and disabled veteran. I served as a military policeman and I’ve never seen anything like it.

    Have you seen Radioactive Drew's channel?

    I can spend a good part of the day to watch the Fran Lab. I learn something every time. Thanks for your sharing.

    I'm curious how does Radiation work and how does geiger counter detect XD i don't know anything XDD

    I’m pretty sure I have the same Geiger muller tube. The most shocking item I found was halogen light bulbs… not the filament, not the trapped gas, just the glass that enclosed them.

    They seems like a slippery slope 🍌🍌

    So I'm ok if I only eat two humans a day ? 😋
    No..much bigger,,I'll stick to one !

    I wonder what old electronic parts are radioactive. As a teen, I used to enjoy disassembling old tube TVs and other electronics and often took each component apart to find out what was inside without really worrying about potential toxins inside.

    I can remember doing this in high school ecology class. Rock in the parking lot was a nice testing area.

    Interesting video. Listening to the clicks as the counter detects the silent drum beat of ionization in the march to entropy.
