You inspired me to just go make a long post on these stickers. In case you don't want to read the whole thing, here's my geiger counter's meter with the pseudoscience sticker on the GM tube. Average counts were probably slightly higher than what's shown (counter is on the 1x setting)
I had read it!!!!!
Really nice post!!!!!!
Thanks for the demonostration
This is really crazy to have like 250cpm frankly...
I will consider to buy one to play with xdd
I cracked one open awhile back, the thorium is from this grey dusty substance inside (wasn't too happy about that and had to do a lot of cleaning) rather than the coating. I'll be able to take a reading tonight and get back to you on the countrate.
