Bonus: the photo was taken with a film camera and the graininess is from all the radiation.

Very cool. Feels like it should be a level in Half Life.

It's kind of crazy how the electron beam looks like a special effect from a 1980's sci-fi movie.

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] chuymatt@startrek.website 3 points 10 months ago

Well, it WAS impressively shielded as well.

[-] GorGor@startrek.website 4 points 10 months ago

Super cool. Working on some ebeam sterilization stuff through contractors. Cool to see the nuts and bolts.

[-] stinky@redlemmy.com 2 points 10 months ago

why the dogfuck did they not illuminate the hallway the camera goes through

[-] GorGor@startrek.website 10 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Why would they? Humans aren't supposed to be there

[-] stinky@redlemmy.com 1 points 10 months ago

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

[-] stinky@redlemmy.com 1 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Does non beta-radiation have the same effect? (Especially gamma rays which don't even have an electric charge)

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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

Last time this was posted I went down a rabbit hole of reading about the Nuclear Boy Scout David Hahn

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.

edit: two feet by seven feet big. away from the house near a green space.

Twinsies! I use empty pallets for weight!

That's just the formula for mountain dew.

[-] introvertcatto 1 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Can engine oil not be repurposed for other things? Like burning it? Or is that stupid

Cherenkov radiation glows blue not green. So he’s safe.
