IONIZATION CHAMBERS

[Esteban]

I have this schematic.

I translate the bad copy I have by this. Hope is OK. I presume the above part is a regulator. Here the clear:

Hi,
what's the purpose of a ionization chamber in remote sensing ?

These are good to reveal ionizating radiations... but I know that gold (unless there's a radioactive isothope of it around) doesn't emit such radiations.

You can look for gamma-ray and similar stuff using it, but not really for the purpose of searching long time buried gold !

So what's the point about that schematic of above ? Why you published it here ?

Kind regards,
Max

Remember, there are persons that claims the existence of a kind of ionization around treasures. But if isn't exists, no problem, because this device can detect the field around this good conductive metals buried for long time.

This can be the chamber.

The deodorant tube ??? NO!

You need a VERY thin wall to make radiations enter the chamber... so better is if you e.g. use a thin aluminium foil window in front side of the tube.

The rest you could made of any conductive material, but much better if the back side is shielded with lead 1mm walls. That way your chanber will be "directional" and (supposing it's useful) you could locate the source of radiations.

A good experiment is with lantern mantle (torium/radium doped) and old fluorescent tags (like old german ones...).

Kind regards,

Hi Max

Thanks very much! Maybe this can be approximative...
