Hi Lilly, Just looked at the specs for the Fellat geiger counter, I think the problem is that the dose rate it can measure at maxes out at 10mSv/hour, this means that although it can display a total dose over time of 10Sv this would likely be grossly wrong in the event of a 'major nuclear incident'. Hypothetically the dose per hour could be 500mSv/hour or greater, but the machine would only be recording at 10mSv/hour! (the max capability of its GM tube before it is saturated). Therefore, before the machine displays a total dose of 1Sv you would actually have been exposed to many times this amount. Check out a second hand Polish RS70 or British Plessey/Siemens PDRM82 as these were designed to warn of dangerously high radiation levels, I believe the Plessey/Siemens PDRM82 was also EMP hardened (at least to some extent!). For new devices I think the Nukalert keyring device sounds impressive and there is also the Ecotest Terra-p+ - although prices have increased dramatically. All the best and thanks for the great videos!

As a retired Rad worker for the US gov. I would say that any high lvl picked up by the meter is concern for leaving the area and to distance ur self from the source. The actual lvl detected isn't going to mean anything other than time to leave. Unless u have proper shielding, distance from source of explosion, and minimum exposure to radiation ur not going to survive. Chernobyl was a prime example as well as the nuclear power plant in Japan. Wide spread contamination from a source not even part of a conventional explosive device. AS the winds blew and the ground water flowed so did the contamination. And if u pick up a high lvl what do u do? Knowing is not everything.

I think some of the people replying to your well thought and articulated comment are not understanding. To them, I say: A meter that measures high levels of radiation is unnecessary, as it means you are dead if your cheaper geiger counter is maxing out for any significant period of time. For lower levels of radiation, such as the hobbyist, the meters that measure high levels of radiation serve no purpose.

Good job on comparing models, but all of these meters will be no good during a nuclear war. They don’t go high enough. These are fine is you want to check if your fruit is radioactive, but they’ll kill you during a nuclear war. Why? Because they’ll likely either read zero (from a saturated GM tube) or they’ll give you a reading far below the true level. There are two types of radiation meters you need for a nuclear war scenario: one is a Geiger counter and the other is a War Meter. War Meters can measure much higher levels, like you’ll see with nuclear fallout. BTW, that Fellat meter won’t read up to 10 Sv. It’s a typo.

[@OnTheRiver66]

Checking contamination in food has to be done with expensive lab equipment. If you detect above background in food or water it is too dangerous to eat or drink, but there can be dangerous levels you cannot detect with a hand held device. Ingesting and breathing radioactive isotopes is very dangerous, more than being near the isotope. Also contamination that is not right next to your detector, say inside an apple or a fish, may not register at all because of its distance but would still be dangerous to consume.

[@forevertoons9022]

Hi Lilly - I love your videos and am always interested in your very insightful "take" on things. Knowing that there are cheaper Geiger counters is great. I do think, for those interested, they may do even better in buying one from one of those military surplus establishments. The price would be cheaper, not to mention the older ones are less susceptible to any interferences which the newer, digital models might run into. I will be saving my money, however. I do not believe that the world is headed into any sort of nuclear exchange. No matter if I'm wrong or right, I live in New York City, anyhow - for whatever that may mean!

Even if the user does not fully understand the readings, as only a relative, or precise measurement of exposure, these dosi-meters will provide much needed emotional assurance that one is located in the most protected part of a shelter. A dosi-meter should also be used to gauge one's exposure should they need to leave the shelter for a short period of time to perform an essential task, and to examine the person for radioactive debris that they may have inadvertently carried back to the shelter. Always use PPE(Tyvek suits and a respirator), or strip off spare clothing and scrub if necessary. And these meters can be used to determine when, and for how long persons can safely leave the shelter for several hours as the intensity of fallout diminishes, and when they must only sleep in the shelter in the later stages of the event.

If there was fallout, these cheap Geigers will saturate and the readings drop to zero! I visited a friend in hospital who had had technetium for a gamma camera scan and my Geiger counter (a professional one, not a toy) went crazy and then just stopped until I moved away from the bed. The current drawn for the avalanche of pulses drops the voltage across the geiger tube and the tube ceases to respond. You need to use an ionisation counter like the civil defence people use.

The differences between the three pudibei could very well be down to the placement of the geiger tube. It's just placed in there using sticky tape.

Have thought about moving the tube to perfect center as close to case as possible (nano tape is great and have thickness)

The Pudibei NR-750 & 950 both look good, but my main concern is if the nukes start flying and for any us lucky or unlucky enough to survive the blasts will need something reliable for detecting fallout radiation levels.

You need to be careful with the difference between Sv and Sv/h the fellat is only specified to 10 mSv/h, similar to the other devices. It needs 1000 hours to get 10 Sv. I also don't think it is correct to compare different sensor sizes close to a point source when that is not what they are calibrated for. Higher value does not mean better.

[@thinkfirst6431]

In a nuclear radiation scenario it would be important to have at least two units. 1 for high radiation and one for the lower levels. If you approach an area of suspected radiation or just stick your arm out the door there are 2 potential problems. 1. If the radiation is high and you have a counter that only does low levels your counter can be overwhelmed to the point that it becomes totally useless for anything. 2. If you walk into an area with your low level counter it may be saturated where it is giving false reading levels to the point where you are already past the point of no return. You should start with your high level meter, if it shows a high level of radiation you need to stop and reevaluate the situation immediately. That might be to retreat back the way you came or return into the shelter you came out of to then try later or the next day. If your high level meter shows nothing or very little then you switch to the low level meter and start advancing into the target area. When the low level meter starts or shows radiation then you can more safely evaluate the situation without becoming contaminated past the point of no return for your body. The third thing to think about is if your meter is in a radiation situation how are you going to decontaminate it so that the meter survives the experience. Placing the meter in a well sealed plastic bag to start, double bagged would be better. Then if you do get a reading the outer bag can be removed outside your hot line, which should be in a safe place to begin with, the meter can proceed through the hot line to the end where the second bag can be removed so that the meter can live to fight another day. Thanks for the testing Lilly. Good luck in Austria.

They only contain Am-241 if they're the ion type - not the optical types. These days the opticals are by far the most common (in Denmark at least). Opticals consist of an LED, a photo diode and a fancy housing which ensures diode can't see the flashed unless there's smoke (or heavy dust) in there. You can search online for "nano wand" zero point quantum scaler energy etc. Those "wands" contain thoriumdioxide and are great and safe (unless you carry it in a pocket everyday) test sources.

[@pointer2null]

You should really test them all with two sources of different strengths. Not sure how you'd get another source - maybe several sets of watch hands (it's the radium in the luminescent paint that you're detecting)

[@HifiCentret]

Just watched this again (searching for which geiger to get next) and I think there's multiple flaws. The close up reading you really can't use for anything as even just a mm difference in distance from tube makes a huge difference and all have different distances from tube to casing. Much better is would be to know distance from tube to casing and then add whatever to make distance to tube 1cm. I have a compass with radium and 0,1mm from the tube it can read 40µS/h (both XR1 and NR-1050). Then the distance measurements. The max reading is not that interesting as decay is random and max depends on firmware interpreting it. Much better is taking the average. That can be difficult for some that don't have an avg function but then take accumulated over 30 min or so. 5min for those having avg it should be enough. The XR1 and Cajoe sure have its flaws but not as bad as you make them sound - they just not have the tubes up close to the casing. Then the one that you can't disassemble. Those reading are way off. Either it's defective or you've not found the location of the tube. A small tube sure MUST have the same (average) readings as large tubes - if not there's a (huge) calibration issue. Sieverts is a well defined unit and it doesn't depend on tube size - just like speed doesn't depend on wheel size. But sure it will have far less clicks than a large tube.

[@simontemplate]

There are peacetime uses for Geiger counters including testing radioactive minerals, old glazed objects, uranium glass, watches. Radon in your cellar etc. Realistically most likely these are the applications where such devices will be most useful. On your point about the utility of a Geiger counter after a nuclear exchange I rather disagree with you. Without such a device we would be completely blind as to how much radiation is outside and indeed, inside a potential refuge. And there would be no way of knowing when radiation would have declined to safe levels or whether particular areas where you might forage are unacceptably highly contaminated. So if you believe you might survive the initial attack, then a battery powered Geiger counter would be a useful tool.

Hi Lilly do you think your Govt. would be interested in setting a perimeter up, around cities where the winds blow in, with Geiger counters to warn your people when to stay inside, if a war should break out because you's would most likely not get a direct hit, but the out fall will hit you's from all directions, being so high up because humanity is going to need as many people as possible to survive... just a thought if it should happen in our life time... like outpost...

I'm from America and I got a GQ GMC-500+ for $130 that has dual tubes for high and low level detection. It also has wifi and has a full set of charting and can be monitored with a phone or laptop. It runs on one rechargeable 18650. Here are some specs. Detection Dose Range: 0 ~ 42500uSv/h Detection CPM Range: 0 ~ 982980 CPM It is crazy how much cheaper Geiger counters are over here.

Seems NR-750 is having almost the same resolution as the others when measuring lower value range. So, for our daily application, it is good enough
