Polonium 210 has had a lot of news coverage lately. Unless you’re a secret agent or are having trouble with your mob connections, you probably don’t need to anguish about that stuff. whether perhaps you are a super secret agent, or have angered some “associates” next it’s always worth being cautious. You can make your own Polonium detector and bring it along to your Christmas parties and pub crawling for the holidays. Here’s what you’ll need to construct a homemade detector:

1. 2 darlington transistors
2. LED
3. Homemade iron chamber
4. One or two
   resistors
5. Battery
6. power switch

Once completed, hold the device by your drink. whether the drink is tainted the light will go on. The detailed assembly directions have diagrams and pictures to help you along the way. I don’t know how you’d tryout the accuracy of that homemade device without actually poisoning one of your drinks. whether you’re one of those paranoid types, or you actually have a reason to hide, thereupon pack that little gadget along and stay safe.
