Impressive.  I want one of those in my basement just to detect the radon
grin.

 Oh, sorry -- I forgot the link:

 They're probably available elsewhere.

Since I don't yet have a wet environment I 
unpacked and set up my power supply.


Like this one 
: 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Precision-Variable-Adjustable-30V-5A-DC-Power-Supply-Digital-Regulated-Lab-Grade-/150910739194?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item2322fb22fa


(gee .. there's one like it for 50c 
cheaper!  That particular one's an auction -- but 
Buy-it-now is the same price $67-ish, free shipping).


The manual is ... Chinese and Chinglish :

• 1. Current
• 2. Steady flow rough tuning
• 3. Steady flow fine tuning
• 4. Steady flow state
• 5. Shows the three voltage
• 6. Fine-tuning regulators
• 7. Rough-tuning regulators
• 8. Directed state regulators
• 9. Negative output terminal
• 10. Positive output terminal
• 11. Output grounding terminal
• 12. Current switch
• 13. A/mA range conversion

Pretty straight forward : a course and fine 
voltage and current control, and a switch between mA and A
Whichever is higher takes control (Constant 
Current, Constant Voltage)  with an indicator light


I had a little potentiometer handy, so I set it to mA and gave it a twist.

Ooops !!! I misinterpreted the mA vs A switch : what's that burning smell !!??

Hooked up my 1 ohm / 25W resistor  makes a 
nice hand-warmer if you set the VA right.


I see that brand-new Chinese Variacs are available for a similar price.

The manual is ... Chinese and Chinglish :


*regulator / steady flow characteristics 

The series features the work of power as the voltage regulator / 
converter-type automatic steady flow, it changes with the load 
Regulators with the state of steady flow between the consecutive 
conversion, the voltage regulator and a state of steady flow as a 
point of intersection between the conversion to For-point.


At least that's better English than I could render Chinese. A long, 
long, time ago we got an order from China for a vlsi layout system. 
We actually got an export license, but the money never reached us, so 
we didn't ship it.

Power supply : got (The manual's Chinese, with an .. interesting 
English translation)
  There are knobs for current and power. I guess I'll have to 
twiddle them to see how they interact

Bunch of alligator clips : got
Cooking thermometer : got
Radiation detectors : ordered
   I ordered a 5-pack. I'll send 1 each to the first two vorticians who ask
Resistive Load : 1 ohm 25W for callibration

Yes. Sanity is remarkably like cold fusion - it is only observed in
sporadic pulses, and many people deny it exists.
