http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_resistance
In early research it was noticed that arc discharge devices and some vacuum tube devices such as the dynatron exhibit negative differential resistance effects.[4]Practical and economic devices only became available with solid state technology. The typical true negative impedance circuit—the negative impedance converter – is due to John G. Linvill (1953)[5] and the popular element with negative differential resistance—the tunnel diode – is due to Leo Esaki (1958).[6]

Well I made a really simple Geiger tube. just a metal tube(cathode) with a copper wire (anode) with 3mm spacing like the commercial units. Mine is enclosed in a pill bottle since my alpha emitter is put inside the bottle. Starting off trying it at regular pressure. Commercial ones run about +1.4psi.

PROBLEM.  I need a 400-500v power source. My camera circuit will only charge it to 220v. Need a new idea for a simple cheap power source.  Or do I need more surface area to hold more charge.

Put together  (little round thing by the needle nose is my alpha emitter from a smoke detector) http://imgur.com/DZhrYL1

Hi Yellow,
Check this giegercounter circuit     www.uzzors2k.4hv.org/index.php?page=geigercounter    I believe it utilizes a camera type circuit in it. Have a look -and good luck.

how much power is available per square meter in cosmic rays at sea level?
how much a hundred miles up in space?
