Abstract
Disclosed is a method of measuring a number of environmental conditions with a transmitter device, said transmitter device comprising a neutron detector structured to generate electrical current from neutron flux, an oscillator circuit comprising an electrostatic switch electrically connected to said neutron detector, and an antenna electrically connected with said electrostatic switch, wherein said electrostatic switch is moveable based on said neutron detector, wherein said oscillator circuit is structured to pulse said antenna based on said neutron detector, wherein a period between pulses is related to the neutron flux, the method comprising the steps of: generating the electrical current with said neutron detector, storing energy in said oscillator circuit until a trigger voltage of said electrostatic switch is reached, and emitting a signal with said antenna corresponding to a number of characteristic values of said oscillator circuit.
