DESCRIPTION
A Geiger Counter based in Structure Void studio detecting radioactivity, and sending pulses in real-time to this page through an Arduino wifi-connected to internet.
A player trying to play Armstrong’s Wonderful World but rebooting constantly as soon as a pulse is received from the studio.
SOME WORDS ABOUT STRUCTURE VOID’s GEIGER COUNTER DEVICE
Geiger counter device measures what we call radioactive disintegrations. Natural radioactivity is everywhere, not only near from nuclear power plants. Radioactive atoms & molecules naturally tends to disintegrate, and to release some particules which can be detected with a Geiger counter device.
Because there is no model able to know when a disintegration will occur, we often use this phenomenon as a pure random source. If we measure the time between two disintegrations, because it varies totally randomly from a disintegration to the next one, we can generate random numbers.

HOW TO TEST
Wait a minute, and as soon as a pulse is coming, you’ll hear & watch.
