GCA-04W Model C

Digital Geiger Counters

Key Features

  • Detects Alpha, Beta & Gamma Radiation
  • Headphone / Analog Meter Jack
  • RS-232 Output

Takes real time radiation readings and displays the count/second and equivalent radiationlevel in either Imperial mR/hr or Metric mSv/hr. These are real time one second interval readings for count with three second averaging on radiation level. Count readings will fluctuate second by second, because it displays the actual number of radioactive particles detected in comparison to analog meter counters that average radioactivity levels.

Analog Meter Geiger Counters

Key Features

Ranges

  • 0-1 mR/hr (Range switch set to 1X)
  • 0-10 mR/Hr (Range switch set to 10X)
  • 0-100 mR/hr (Range switch set to 100X)

Images SI Inc's Analog Meter Geiger Counters are useful for detecting and measuring radioactivity and performing nuclear experiments.

The geiger counter has a digital output that provides a TTL logic pulse each time a radioactive particle is detected. Used to connected to various digital adapters and network software.

ESP Lamp

3D LED Cube

Composed of 64 mono-chromatic LEDs arranged in a 4 x 4 x 4 matrix. LED Cube has 29 pre-programmed 3D animations that blink, morph and change.

Four push buttons on the bottom of cube allow user to select mode and scroll through the 3D animations available.

Demo mode automatically plays through all 3D animations. Playtime 6.5 minutes before patterns repeat.

LED Cube is available as a kit or finished product. Four primary LED colors Blue, Yellow Green and Red are available.

ESP Lamp

ESP Lamp

The ESP Lamp is a interesting table top science device that provides a fun way to dabble in parapsychology. Test for psychokinesis (PK), precognitive and telepathy. The ESP lamp is approximate 4" x 4" x 4" in size.

It contains a miniature geiger counter to trigger the generation of true random numbers. While this ESP lamp might appear trivial, it is not. Aside from being fun, this equipment is laboratory grade and may be used to accurately test for different aspects of ESP.

Piezoelectric Film Speaker Kit

Piezoelectric Film Speaker Kit

The piezofilm speaker kit is both educational and fun. The piezoelectric material is a thin flexible plastic sheet with metalized surfaces. When voltage is applied the piezofilm changes size. The kit incorporates a LM386 integrated circuit that amplifies an electrical sudio signal from an IPOD or similar device, and outputs the amplified signal to the piezoelectric film which generates audible sound.

PlayStation Servo Motor Controller

PlayStation Servo Motor Controller

Images Scientific Instruments Inc. PS2 PlayStation Servo Motor Controller Interface allows manual control of six hobby servo motors using the PlayStation PS2. (Hitec/Futaba) [Not Included].
The servomotors are controlled using the two joysticks on the controller. X and Y direction of each joystick each controls a servomotor. This totals four servomotors. To control servomotors numbered 5 and 6, one presses and holds the left shoulder button, while using the right joystick.

Kirlian Photography: Fact and Fiction

Kirlian Photography: Fact and Fiction

Since the 1970's there has been much reported on and written about Kirlian photography. Some of these reports make phenomenal claims regarding the usefulness of Kirlian photography. For instance; is a Kirlian photography of a person a picture of the body's aura, or soul? What does science have to say about that claim? Can Kirlian photography forecast illnesses before it become physically manifested? What about the claims that you can read a person's health, personality and emotional state? What about the phantom leaf effect? This is where a small portion of a leaf is removed, and in subsequent Kirlian photographs of the leaf, show the removed portion of the leaf as a ghostly apparition.
