How Does a Geiger Counter Work - Sponsored by Solderstick. Get solderstick at 20% OFF with discount code “LE20“ at In this video we examine a low cost Geiger counter I bought on Amazon (Thank you Patrons). Here is a link: ($ as of ). The Geiger counter is a nuclear radiation detector that uses a hollow glass tube called a Geiger–Müller tube. This tube has the anode running down the center and the cathode is the other glass tube itself. The tube is filled with a noble gas and held at 400V potential. The gas is inert and no current flows. But when a highly charge particle comes blasting through at the speed of light, electrons are ripped from the gas atoms and are now able to conduct current and we get a tick sound from the counter. The more particles that pass through the tube the more ticks. 1. Autumn Promotions links: 2. Link to the special promotion for PCBs, 3D printing, and acrylic laser cutting: 3.
