Active Antenna
how do i test silvery white nuggets for radiation without a geiger counter?
i,ve found some native silvery white metal nuggets whilst metal detecting for gold! i,ve been warned by a friend that there quite possibly a rare earth element that can be radio active! i do not wish for my teeth and hair to fall out! lol
i cannot afford a geiger counter or anything simmilar as im not in a financial possition to do so!
i was hoping someone could tell me how to do some sort of a basic test at home? like if its radio active will it create any sort of a noise on an am, fm, hf, uhf, vhf radio? or mabey a scanner? as a scanner can search all the frequency ranges!
if yes, would the metal nuggets have to be held on the antenna or on the body of the radio or scanner? please only answer if you have the knowledge to answer these questions! as its my health at stake!
i hope some one knows!
cheers from rod!
“…if its radio active will it create any sort of a noise on an am, fm, hf, uhf, vhf radio? or mabey a scanner?…”
No. The presence of radioactivity will have no effect on any kind of radio.
“i cannot afford a geiger counter”
Maybe you can afford this: http://www.ki4u.com/kfm.htm

Key Audi Parts: the Audi Ball Joint and Audi Antenna
In the vast world of automotive engineering, few manufacturers actually perceive the importance of integrating only the best parts and accessories for their vehicles. As a matter of fact, some commercial automobiles in the market today have integrated features that do not really enhance the overall vehicle performance. However, there are leading car makers that produce car parts for the exact purpose of optimum functionality.
Take Audi for example. This German corporation personifies prowess in automotive engineering. Currently, Audi’s sales are growing strongly in Europe. In 2004, Audi marked its 11th straight increase in sales, selling 779,441 vehicles worldwide. Garnering countless awards and recognition, Audi cars are highly praised for the key components nestled within their automotive system. Two examples of Audi components working with clockwork precision are the Audi ball joints and Audi Antenna.
The Audi ball joint consists of a hardened-steel, bearing stud and socket enclosed in a steel housing. The bearing stud is conical and threaded and is slotted into a tapered hole in the steering knuckle. A protective boot keeps dirt from entering the joint assembly. Basically, the Audi ball joint serves as the pivot point between the tires and suspension. It is a given fact that a lightweight Audi suspension greatly contributes to the car’s handling and braking. It provides good active safety and comfortable driving that virtually isolates the cabin from road noise, bumps, and vibrations. A key suspension system part is the Audi ball. There is also a device that proves to be a favorite among consumers. For top-notch sound systems, the Audi antenna is considered a must. Audi provides power antennas that are fully automatic, direct replacement, and chrome telescope.
The combination of innovative engineering and classic detailing proved to be the catalyst that made Audi the leader that it is. As for what the future might bring, it is safe to say that with the Audi ball joint and the Audi antenna, every lineup of Audi vehicles will surely be a major success.
