TEC Cloud Chamber Project
I got it in my head that I wanted to build a TEC (thermo-electric cooler aka Peltier coolers) cooled cloud chamber. Cloud chambers allow you to view radioactive particles as they shoot through a supersaturated alcohol vapor. The radioactive particles act as nucleation points in the saturated atmosphere causing the vapor to condense into small […]

I’ve been living with a Walmart ‘special’ Entertainment center. It’s made out of aluminum, plastic and pressed fiber board. It doesn’t fit the spot it’s supposed to be in and it doesn’t look good. I decided it was time to build one from scratch using reasonable decent wood. (some may argue with my choices!). I […]
