The IOD1 ion detector consists of a small control box with a telescoping
probe. The probe can be grounded or the hand that is holding it can
be used as ground through a metal strip on the outside of the control
box. The probe is capable of making relative measurements only, not
absolute.

I haven't had a whole lot of use for it over the years. The one
documented place I did use it was for simply detecting charge
on an aluminium cone in a non-conventional propulsion experiment
called the
Hamel 45GD experiment as shown in these photos.
