If I understand it, Brown's main discovery was an energy-gain in
radioactive wires, or within wires bathed in radiation from adjacent
sources.
So, today a simple test would be to continuously measure (high freq AC?)
wire resistance, or perhaps measure the "Q" of a metal-enclosed LC tank
circuit, then look for increased value when placed against a 'hot'
radioactive sample (thin metal being a shield, to prevent capacitive
changes to Q caused by movements of the sample.) I think Brown claimed to
have achieved self-oscillation from this gain (so, Q becoming infinite.)
But with a sensitive measurement, perhaps his discovery can be detected,
while using commonly available low-level active materials: 50,000CPM
carnotite from eBay, radium T/R tubes, etc. Hook an op-amp
negative resistance circuit to a big coil/capacitor, adjust it for
barely-stable oscillation, then see if hot samples will make oscillations
start growing.

I grew up just across the river, in 14904 zip (just down from Janowski
Gardens, over by Dunn Field!) Looking at Streetview, I see that the
idiots have cut down all the trees. Elmira was once a town of tree-lined
avenues everywhere. Now in comparison to 1970s, it looks like a poverty
zone!
