Bonus: the photo was taken with a film camera and the graininess is from all the radiation.
Digital camera also get funky with radiation: GoPro Ride Through an Electron Beam Irradiator at Full Beam Power / @andrewseltzman9280/ youtube.com
Very cool. Feels like it should be a level in Half Life.
Awesome
It's kind of crazy how the electron beam looks like a special effect from a 1980's sci-fi movie.
Aside from the film grain, I'm pretty impressed that the camera seemed to survive that and that the footage from it could be extracted like nothing of this nature had ever happened to the device.
Well, it WAS impressively shielded as well.
Super cool. Working on some ebeam sterilization stuff through contractors. Cool to see the nuts and bolts.
why the dogfuck did they not illuminate the hallway the camera goes through
because only product being irradiated goes there. no human should be in that area. plus with the lights off you see the ionized air. that would probably be washed out with another light source.
Why would they? Humans aren't supposed to be there
for the same reason they sent a camera into it... to assist with visualization 🤨
But you can see the radiation beam perfectly easily without illumination so what's the actual problem
the lighting should be consistent throughout the experiment so that the effect of the radiation cannot be confused with change in light levels. goodness, why would someone need that explained to them? you must not be the inquisitive type.
Does non beta-radiation have the same effect? (Especially gamma rays which don't even have an electric charge)
I don't know. If the gamma rays are absorbed and converted to electrons in the photo-sensor, it could also cause noise I suppose ?
Noise: digital
Grain: film

i have a backyard pile of cardboard boxes, tree branches, pulled up weeds covered with an agricultural tarp. every few months after the high natural pH of the local biome it all melts and become inhabited by worms and bugs, then i use it to make a new fun mound to my yard cosplaying as an iron age hill fort.
better than paying to give it to the waste management who do the same thing and then sell it to the city.

That's just the formula for mountain dew.
OK, but I will just add some H2SO4, D2O, and NaNO3 just for better taste.
Edit: to be clear, do not do this. This is bad advice. Get your soil tested before you start a garden.
Can engine oil not be repurposed for other things? Like burning it? Or is that stupid
