Electronic Simulated Radioactive Source (Magic)

- Description
Description
This electronic teaching instrument simulates Geiger counter behaviour without using any real radioactive sources, making it suitable for safe classroom demonstrations. Powered by a 240 V to 12 V AC plug pack, the microprocessor-based unit generates realistic simulated count behaviour and displays particle counts from an imaginary radioactive source.
Two simulated displays are provided: the unit can show the particle counts leaving the imaginary source, and it can also show the number of simulated radioactive particles remaining inside the source. These outputs make it easy to demonstrate half-life behaviour using changing “remaining” values, and to show the random nature of count readings, which is central to understanding counting statistics in radiation measurements.
Because the count behaviour is simulated and randomised, the unit is also suitable for mathematics activities that explore random numbers and introductory statistics using physics-relevant data. This is a simulation instrument for education and demonstration, not a detector for measuring real radiation.
FAQs
Q: Does this instrument contain or use real radioactive sources?
A: No. It is a simulation unit and does not use actual radioactive sources.
Q: How is the unit powered?
A: It operates from a 240 V to 12 V AC plug pack.
Q: What does the display show?
A: Simulated particle counts leaving an imaginary source, and simulated particles remaining inside the source.
Q: What physics concepts can be demonstrated?
A: Half-life and the random nature of count data, supporting basic counting statistics discussions.
Q: Can it be used for maths lessons?
A: Yes. The randomised count output is useful for studying random numbers and introductory statistics.
