Last night I found this video about webcam and Americium random number generators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2WgaVwMHo8

The appeal to me is that the particle detections look so crisp. The camera image is easy to inspect visually. See the video at 46:17. With this smartphone camera method, only the algorithm seems to be able to pull the "quantum-nes" out. This ability to inspect is the root of my trust of the system.
