What potassium compound?


Well, sorry for the double post I guess.

But anyway, as some of you may know. Or whatever, Uranium Nitrate or Oxide seems to be "more" radioactive then the Uranium metal, reason is the particles can escape easier out if the mixture of elements, then just the pure uranium metal or something like that correct?

Well, as we all know, Potassium is a slightly radioactive element, but having the potassium chloride, instead of say potassium nitrate, or carbonate, might seem to be less radioactive. And the way I see it, the more particles the merrier. So what compound do you think would be the best for this?


Also, can a simple pressurized pop bottle full of water, or alcohol. Be turned into an expansion chamber?
I honestly do not see why that wouldn't work. However this seems just a "tad" more complicated. http://bizarrelabs.com/cloud4.htm

A suggestion for lighting: how about LEDs? You could even have different colors on different sides, which may make the trails more visible....
