In this video I show you how to make the world's easiest homemade cloud chamber to detect radiation particles. This is so simple to do but the results are so amazing! You can actually see the path that the radiation particles take through the cloud chamber! It is made by using a supersaturated vapor of rubbing alcohol. When a radiation particle strikes the vapor it ionizes and forms a nucleation point for the vapor and you see a small cloud where the particle went.
