down the road)
We get a lot of requests for our upcoming CloudTracker-2 Cloud Chamber and Tornado Machine - but we have a little more work to do with them before we go into mass production. We had intended on releasing them for the Christmas season but decided to hold off until after the new year. The last thing we want to do is release something that's not absolutely perfect and have potential customer problems & complaints so we need to hold off on these two items until they are up to United Nuclear standards.
Here's the info on them....
New Cloud Chamber
Our
original Cloud Chamber, the CloudTracker 1 (pictured above) was a very
popular product. The only problem was that it required Dry Ice to
operate, which is a bit inconvenient and an added expense. Our new
CloudTracker 2 will soon be a standard stock item.
It requires no Dry
Ice
- just plug in
& turn on. For those unfamiliar with the device, Cloud Chambers
allow you to put any radioactive item in the chamber and actually see
the tracks that radioactive particles make. Kind of like the long
contrails that jets make in the sky. Experiments can be performed to
deflect and interact with these particles where you can clearly see the
results. Many students have won awards using our original
CloudTracker for science fair projects. The new CloudTracker 2 will come
complete with everything you need to get going, even the radioactive
source. Keep an eye on our website for the release date. If you'd like
us to email you when they are available, just shoot us an email to

New Tornado Machine
Several years ago, we sold a large Tornado Machine (pictured
above) which was popular with schools, weather enthusiasts, hobbyists,
as well as museums. By adjusting wind speed, wind shear, updraft, etc.
it allowed you to produce miniature tornados of varying intensity and
design - in free air ( i.e. not inside a sealed chamber ). An updated
version of our Tornado Machine will soon be part of our standard stock.
There will be two Tornado Machines available - a small (3' tall) and
larger (about 7' tall) unit.
Keep an eye on our website for additional information and the release date.
