Radioactive@Home
is a Polish science project using the distributed computing capabilities of the BOINC platform. The main goal of the project is to create a free and continuously updated map of radiation levels available for everyone, by gathering information about gamma radiation using sensors connected to the computers of volunteers willing to participate in the project. Project is completely non-commercial, participating will be free of charge (excluding cost of detector) and the software will be licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Since the transformer used currently in the converter block may be problematic in terms of availability and construction, I have decided to design a compatible converter using a choke.
New detector prototype
| | Hits: 40890
Some time ago, an idea emerged to design an alternative detector for Radioactive@Home project. Current design caused some problems sometimes, so I decided to challenge the problem and come up with my own solution. Unfortunately I was busy with my day job so the work was a step by step on the evenings. Currently the prototype is at he stage where it can be plugged in for the project, so it is a high time to publish schematics and some info.

With regard to the ACTA (so-called Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) accepted by European Union, we feel obliged to warn you that our website may be unavailable in some countries soon.
ACTA Agreement was initiated by organizations describing themselves as "defending artists from bad pirates" and has been enforced on EU in secret negotiations initiated by US Government. Non government
organizations from all over the world agreed on condemning both the way of negotiations ware taken and allowing by this agreement cutting off websites "uncomfortable" for governments of countries that
signed ACTA, without proving infringements of any laws.
