Revigators, historical devices from the early 20th century, were once used to enrich water with radon. In this video, we investigate a model from 1927-1930 with the help of the Radiacode gamma spectrometer. The video shows how gamma spectroscopy reveals isotopes like bismuth-214, which appear as part of radium-226’s decay chain. Learn how spectroscopy can help uncover the secrets of these fascinating devices.
