Hi Matt, Great! Glad you got it.... Also, be careful re-potting it. If you use a silicone, make sure it's a non-acid cure type. I used an Oxygen sensor safe...
Ive got the victoreen CDV 700 6A.... I may have a problem with the probe socket...There is no space in between the socket and housing...The Wd40 has yet to...
Never tried it personally, but what holds the "guts," in the CD V-700 probe bottom is a heat sensitive adhesive glue. Heat the probe bottom enough to melt the...
I don't think it has any relation to the subject of radioactivity. Some entrepreneurs were making fire-starters using DU. Uranium metal ignites about as...
Before I resorted to using a Bunsen Burner, I'd try a hair drier first, with a lot of wiggling of the part during the heating process. Using an open flame on...
Hi Steve, The comment is pertinent because the frizzens show another use of DU, which is still a radioactive material. That was a new one on me.... -Tom -...

Good luck with the project. I think Victoreen must have used a different compound. I first tried a heat gun, then (carefully) a propane torch. After much...
As long as everyone else is chiming in-- 1. Soak it overnight in acetone. Although the bakelite and aluminum are unaffected, most adhesives are dissolved by...

Last night the folks in Fla who shoot rockets into lightning were on "Nova Science Now". Lots of cool stuff getting hit by lightening; discussion and view of...
http://physicsweb.org/articles/news/10/7/13/1 Interesting. Aside from the positive benefits for nuclear waste management, shouldn't this turn waste into fuel?...
... Assuming that you get more energy out than you put in to maintain a material at say 4 K. Which is highly unlikely. -- ... Chris Smolinski Black Cat Systems...
WD 40 acts like a lubricant, but in realty isn't it more of a degreaser and dessicant? Chris Cavanaugh cav427@... Yukon, OK ... From: Steve Jones To:...
WD 40 was purportedly developed as a means of displacing water on tightly fitting surfaces. I once heard a story that WD-40 was shorthand for "Water...
One more weigh in here? I've done a few of these. The potting I've seen is thermosetting- like urea formaldehyde- It's not susceptible at all to usual solvents...
Correct. WD-40 is a pure mineral oil, which evaporates completely leaving no residue. That's what it is supposed to do. Not a lube, not a rust proofer. It does...
This reflects my experiences too. Out of 50-60 I've taken apart, I've had to destroy the sockets- all but one. It seemed to have been assembled differently....
X-ray / lightning research is not overlooked, per se, but rather it's just a damn frustrating avenue of research. It's very hard to detect X-ray emissions from...
Yes, mine was such a pain I gave up...I did buy a probe housing from Geo on ebay, so all is good :-) I will just pop in the gieger tube and add a BNC to the...
Phil, if you are worried about EM effects, wrap the film in aluminum foil and ground the foil locally. Faraday cage and all that stuff. A coin on unshielded...
... Yes. They even showed a scope trace that was supposedly the scint output, coinciding with a strike. Then they introduced the cosmic-trigger idea. To...
... start ... Yes. Higher power, same energy. Compare a bbq briquette with same, powdered, and mixed with an oxidizer: same energy, higher power for less...
Hello all, I may just be paranoid...But there is a seller selling off his collection of ore, and I notice there is this bidder who always wins ALL the high...
... The buyer is over-paying. So, yes, in that context something bad has already happened. Worse, if the buyer dropped hundreds of pounds of uraninite on his...
