Title: Geiger Counter
Post by: Rubi on May 01, 2011, 03:39:30 pm
Hi

I build a Geiger counter, based on the Russian SMB-20 tube.
He HV circuit is based on the following design
http://https://sites.google.com/site/diygeigercounter/circuit-description

I made a small video of the device, the clicks you can hear are background radiation.

The next step is to add a micro controller to count the impulses and display them on a lcd.

Btw.
The design is also capable to drive the new counter tube from Seedstudio.

Cheers

Great work! I've always wanted to build something like this...
