Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this Geiger counter kit include a Geiger-Müller tube?

A: No, the Geiger-Müller tube is not included with this kit. It supports popular tubes such as the M4011, STS-5, SBM20, and J305 — any tube with an operating voltage range of 330–600V is compatible. You will need to purchase the tube separately.

Q: Is this DIY radiation detector compatible with Arduino?

A: Yes! This Geiger counter module is fully compatible with Arduino and other microcontroller (MCU) platforms, making it ideal for developers who want to build or customize their own radiation detection software. It also supports PC data acquisition and Matlab signal analysis.

Q: Do I need batteries, and what power supply does it use?

A: Batteries are not included but a battery holder is provided in the package. The kit also comes with a power supply cable. The recommended operating voltage for the Geiger tube is 380V (internally generated), so standard low-voltage DC input powers the onboard high-voltage circuit.

Q: What is this Geiger counter kit used for?

A: This nuclear radiation detector kit is ideal for educational experiments, STEM projects, Arduino-based DIY builds, physics demonstrations, and MCU software development. It detects alpha, beta, and gamma radiation depending on the Geiger tube used.

Fun for Fido but flimsy
Color: A2-Blue
My 15 yearold mini Schnauzer, Sam, played with this for less than 1 hour and tore the rubber sleeve off it. I will say the toy itself is a genius idea. Sam was absolutely ensconced. I wish it were made sturdier.

It does exactly what they say it does! Worth the money
Color: A1-Red
It arrived quickly. It’s a fun toy! It’s the right size for cats. Definitely worth the money. It is exactly as described. So far, the quality seems very good and it seems durable. The instructions are on the side of the box, which makes learning how to operate it easy. I love it that it’s red, because my kitty seems to be attracted to red. My kitty is very interested in it, yet isn’t quite sure what to think of it. I love that it changes directions on its own so that it doesn’t get stuck or lost under furniture, which is typical for a ball that cats play with. It seems to only go two, three or four feet in one direction and then it changes directions, which is both good and bad. I just wish it would go farther in one direction before changing directions so that my kitty could chase it farther, as we have plenty of space in our house for her to run. But that certainly could be a plus for other cats, enjoying not knowing where the ball is going to go next and really keep them on their toes.

Cat loves this
Color: A1-Red
This toy is great for keeping pets entertained. The ball moves quickly and the tail makes it even more fun for cats to chase. It’s rechargeable and easy to use, and my pet stayed interested much longer than with regular toys.

Really cool cat toy for even the most picky cat!
Color: A1-Red, Color: A1-Red
I love it, wow. Our cat is picky with toys, but even he was intrigued by it. It really kept his attention, which is hard to do. It comes with three modes: fast, slow, and interactive. The only thing is that hair can get all trapped up in it because it's a wheel, so keep your house clean I guess lol. The tail also came off once, so you gotta snuggly get it on up there. Really cool cat toy though, I'm happy I got it lol

Not worth the money
Color: A1-Red
My small Chihuahua loved this toy. It kept him entertained until it would stop working. He only gets about 10 minutes of play and it's no longer charged to use. I even bought a second one thinking the first one might have been just bad luck, but nope, the same problem. It seems most of these interactive toys are only given 2 to 3 stars. I'm disappointed but more importantly, my pup is even more.
