Bonus: the photo was taken with a film camera and the graininess is from all the radiation.

Very cool. Feels like it should be a level in Half Life.

It's kind of crazy how the electron beam looks like a special effect from a 1980's sci-fi movie.

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aside from the film grain, I'm pretty impressed that the camera seemed to survive that and that the footage from it could be extracted like nothing of this nature had ever happened to the device.

[–] chuymatt@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

Well, it WAS impressively shielded as well.

[–] GorGor@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

Super cool. Working on some ebeam sterilization stuff through contractors. Cool to see the nuts and bolts.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does non beta-radiation have the same effect? (Especially gamma rays which don't even have an electric charge)

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I don't know. If the gamma rays are absorbed and converted to electrons in the photo-sensor, it could also cause noise I suppose ?

why the dogfuck did they not illuminate the hallway the camera goes through

[–] GorGor@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago

because only product being irradiated goes there. no human should be in that area. plus with the lights off you see the ionized air. that would probably be washed out with another light source.

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why would they? Humans aren't supposed to be there

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

for the same reason they sent a camera into it... to assist with visualization 🤨

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

But you can see the radiation beam perfectly easily without illumination so what's the actual problem

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com 0 points 1 year ago

the lighting should be consistent throughout the experiment so that the effect of the radiation cannot be confused with change in light levels. goodness, why would someone need that explained to them? you must not be the inquisitive type.

Noise: digital

Grain: film

Dudes over here tryna create Stalker anomalies.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There were weird spots on the trail I had never seen. Everywhere the trees completely touched and covered the ground there was a tiny fog bank. Kept thinking, "Go ahead Stalker. Try walking through it."

Nothing happened. :(

[–] AddledGoat@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Should have thrown a bolt in there first, just to be safe.

As a member of the Mercs and a friend of Freedom, I diagnose you with alcoholism. Lay off the vodka rookie, you dont need to drink the entire stock Sidorovich gave you even if he said it was a gift.

Absolutely love the detail of having the picture all fucked up from the radiation.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

thank you. I'm so used to people resposting ancient pixelated memes that I completely missed it.

Last time this was posted I went down a rabbit hole of reading about the Nuclear Boy Scout David Hahn

Mister Americium himself?

I hope they fall in one night.

i have a backyard pile of cardboard boxes, tree branches, pulled up weeds covered with an agricultural tarp. every few months after the high natural pH of the local biome it all melts and become inhabited by worms and bugs, then i use it to make a new fun mound to my yard cosplaying as an iron age hill fort.

better than paying to give it to the waste management who do the same thing and then sell it to the city.

edit: two feet by seven feet big. away from the house near a green space.

That's just the formula for mountain dew.

OK, but I will just add some H2SO4, D2O, and NaNO3 just for better taste.

Cherenkov radiation glows blue not green. So he’s safe.

[–] NadiaNadine@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Edit: to be clear, do not do this. This is bad advice. Get your soil tested before you start a garden.

Can engine oil not be repurposed for other things? Like burning it? Or is that stupid

[–] RedC@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Relax guys, it's just the new Mt Dew flavor, Radical Radium.
