Can i increase my my nokia x2 mobile alarm volume?
Beta particles are more penetrating than alpha particles, which means that the beta particles would not be stopped by the smoke. This would make it useless for detecting the presence of smoke, which is the whole purpose of a smoke detector. Beta particles do not ionize the air as strongly as alpha particles, which makes it harder to produce and monitor the ionizing current of the detector circuit.
Yeah, I've used a few to drop locked doors, and a couple more on a petrol fire.
