ABOUT THIS EXPERIMENT
This is my take on a diffusion cloud chamber, and still a work in progress.
HOW IT WORKS
01
Alcohol evaporates
IPA soaked into felt at the top slowly evaporates...
02
Supersaturation forms
The Peltier module chills the base to −30°C...
03
Particle ionises air
A charged particle strips electrons along its path...
04
Track appears
Ions seed droplet condensation, forming a white track...
