Cloud Chamber

Why

To bring LVL1 into the nuclear age, it is necessary to detect the presents of nuclear material. To that end, the Truly Mad Scientist's LVL1 Splinter Group has decided to build a cloud chamber. The chamber built does not utilize dry ice. Instead it uses peltier coolers. The basic design is from Rich Olsen of nothinglabs.com and his Instructable. Minor design changes were made to accommodate its use in future experiments.
