Thank you! I thought it would be an interesting experiment, was a big concerned that security would keep the Dosimeter though considering how sensitive people are these days. Interesting to see how effective the atmosphere is to blocking Cosmic Radiation.
That was a great video, enjoyed the flight tremendously. Must say though, seeing the needle nudging the far end of the scale looks a tad scary to your average lay-man i.e. Me! The numbers might be small, but the fact that the needle was at the opposite end to where it started makes things appear more frightening. I would have loved to have been at the security check in when you had to explain what you had in your bag..LOL Bet the mans face was a picture. :-) You don't want Rolf Harris back by any chance do you? :-)
No thanks!!! You blokes can keep that bugger! Funny how lately all these ratbags seem to be turning up, the hens are coming home to roost it seems. Yes, the mob on the scanner rescanned the bag a couple of times trying to work out what the Dosimeter was. Its interesting to see the rise in Radiation as you go up, I wonder if flight crews ever suffer effects from long time exposure during their careers. ( funny how Australia is returning convicts to their original homelands! ) ( :
Really great stuff, always wondered what the radiation is up around the Melbourne sky.

Ha ha..like it :-)
Great video. Its just amazing how much exposer to radiation you can get in a plane in a high altitude. Not a very big kerosene chicken isn't it?
The max reading on 10.000 m is 0,5 µSv/h or 5 ?
