The present application discloses a helium-3 detector apparatus that generally includes a mass spectrometer having an access funnel configured to receive (sniff) helium-3 directly from an open environment through an access port. The access funnel is configured to direct helium-3 into the mass spectrometer. The apparatus further comprises a heating element configured to release helium-3 from the topsoil layer by means of heat. The movable carrier is configured to position the inlet above the topsoil layer to obtain a sample of helium-3.
本申请公开了一种氦‑3探测器装置,该氦‑3探测器装置大体上包括质谱仪,该质谱仪具有进入漏斗,该进入漏斗被构造成通过进入口直接从开放环境接收(嗅探)氦‑3。进入漏斗被构造成将氦‑3引导到质谱仪中。该装置还包括加热元件,该加热元件被构造成借助于热量从表土层释放氦‑3。可移动承载器被构造成将进入口定位在表土层上方以获取氦‑3的样本。
