- aquarium cloud chamber
You must be logged in to reply.
I had my first run with my cloud chamber - it was unsuccessful.
I used a 10 gallon glass aquarium, a steel sheet for the bottom and kept felt at the top using a metal mesh (wedged in place using a lip of silicone). I think the downfall was that I was trying to fill too large of a space and did not have enough alcohol in the mix as well.

I started working on my own cloud chamber. Well actually I built it, I just need to get some dry ice and try it out. I think I may have a few problems with it, but I will let you know how it comes out. You can look at what I have so far here.Posted by MrCaN on March 04, 2007 at 17:22:05 Pacific Time
