However, a Whimhurst machine in the neighborhood does create a big change in the liquid. If you don’t have a Whimhurst machine, you can rub a balloon on your neighbor’s cat.

The cloud chamber detects secondary cosmic rays and radioactive decays by making alcohol clouds along the particle paths through the chamber. Particles ionize alcohol molecules as they pass through ...

The subject of this build is the visualization of ionizing radiation tracks, with one of our old favorite physics demonstrators, the venerable cloud chamber. The build video (embedded below ...

Emissions. Wild fires. The Atmospheric Science—PhD program provides opportunities to study cloud formation in our cloud chamber facility or to learn the impacts of air pollutants emitted in North ...
