Radiation Shielded Camera Version 3 Irradiator Run at Neobeam 12/11/2015 |
Overview: A GoPro Hero 3+ silver camera was shielded with lead and sent through an industrial irradiator while viewing plastic and mineral samples. The plastics were used to produce lichtenberg figures. The irradiation facility is the Mercury Plastics NeoBeam facility which is used for cross linking plastics. The accelerator can produce a 5MeV, 20mA electron beam which is scanned over a moving cart. These videos were of a Lichtenberg production run by Bert Hickman who sells the lichtenberg figures on his website: http://www.capturedlightning.com/ |

Neobeam Run (12/11/2015) Particle accelerator scan horn. Accelerator produces up to a 5MeV, 45mA electron beam which is rapidly swept across the cart perpendicular to the direction of cart travel at 100Hz. Carts move away from the camera in this picture |

Neobeam Run (12/11/2015) 3Mev 45mA beam. In this video the electron beam was turned up to full current, 15x the typical current of a typical pass, and the lights were turned out allowing the electron beam ionizing the air to be observed. Calcite samples glowing as they pass through the beam. |
