Abstract
Cloud chamber contributes to radiation education by facilitating observation of particle tracks formed by radiation. Peltier based chamber achieves cooling without the need for dry ice,. we developed a cloud chamber based on peltier thermoelectric modules and has a multilayered heat insulation system to maintain a stable cool environment. It produces sharp particle tracks without requiring a dark room for observing the tracks. Its large top window (diameter of 12.5 cm) provides a relatively
wider observation field capable of accommodating five to six students at a time.
