Hardware open source brings practical, inexpensive radiation detectors

Radiation is known to be harmful to the human body, and we are surrounded by radiation, they have a small amount of radiation, can find harmful radiation sources can significantly improve our or even quality, but professional Geiger counter (used to measure radioactivity) price ordinary people are unable to bear, and also can not use such professional precision, So what the family consumer needs is a cheap, portable detector that can measure radiation sources.

Today, we introduce a miniature gamma ray radiation detector (--APOC) to meet the needs of home users. At present, the product is in the public offering platform Kickstarter, support global shipments (5 U.S. dollars freight), each price only 50 U.S. dollars, you can have a radiation detection apoc.

APOC can also transfer data to the iphone and Android phones, allowing users to detect radiation at the same time as the specific radiation values.

Why buy a radiation tester?

The word "radiation" is often heard and sometimes used as a topic of conversation. In fact, many people do not know that we are surrounded by a variety of radiation, some harmful, some harmless. However, as ordinary people, we can not afford to buy expensive Geiger counter, can not afford to use, so the radiation is like the air around us, but we do not know about it.

APOC Micro-radiation detector Although the mention is very small, but "Spadger spite", its function can be compared with Geiger counter, and easy to use.

It is worth mentioning that APOC is a combination of open source software and open source hardware. One of the goals of APOC is to encourage people to develop hardware to focus on radiation.

Users on the Kickstarter order APOC (50 U.S. dollars version) will get a complete package of parts, which requires the user to assemble their own hands, to ensure that they can use, test hands-on ability. APOC also built in Bluetooth, you can connect with smartphones and computers to facilitate users to view specific radiation values. More lazy users can choose to buy the assembled APOC, the price is 100 dollars.

Other features: The device will emit sound and light after the radiation is detected, and the family radiation is detected to promote a healthy life.
