    For this project, I'll be making radioactive uranium glass, which was very popular 100 years ago. Under a blacklight, the uranium in it fluoresces to give off a nice green color.
    WARNING: Working with uranium and radioactive material is dangerous, and this video is for entertainment/educational purposes only. Please don't try and repeat what you see. Also, when the project is done, the waste needs to be dealt with and handled properly. On my second channel, NileBlue, I show what I did with it and you can check it out here: • Cleaning up my uranium...

Fortunately the most basic of cyclotrons are by far beyond the average idiot, how they will then build a centripetal device to accrue mass while limiting accelerated exponential decay is beyond most of the worlds top physicists.

    I'm a Boro-silicate laboratory glass blower. I've worked with custom uranium glass before. The trick to keep your specimens from shattering is a technique known as annealing. To accomplish this, you would want 2 separate furnaces. One for melting and the other for annieline. Place your graphite block in the aneeling furnace at about eleven hundred degrees fahrenheit. Open the door once the block and the furnace is preheated. place your spasiman On your graph light block at eleven hundred degrees for at lea half an hour. then Slowly reduce the temperature of your aneeling furnace without opening the door. Over the course of twenty four hours And till your sample is near room temperature And you should not have any internal stress anymore This process aligns the internal crystalline structure of the silica Transforming it into a stress free homogeneous mass. You will want to reduce the temperature on an inverted J curve slowly at first. But once you get past about 400° fahrenheit leaving the door closed u till it has completely cooled you should be fine

Most of my friends who have taken glass lampworking more seriously than I did have ovens specifically meant for this process. He's trying to make borosilicate glass (think Pyrex), but I'm puzzled since he's not using aluminum oxide in the mix as is typical from what I understand. The omission may be intentional, but it also may be in part why such small pieces were so sensitive.

      I like Uranium Glass too - it's very pretty.
      But I wouldn't bother with the leaded glass cabinet - normal glass would be perfectly adequate for the Beta and Alpha rays, and hundreds of kg of leaded glass would be inadequate to absorb the Gamma radiation.
      Check if the glass *really* is lead-rich. The lead *strip* used to hold plain glass panes together is radiologically useless - and that is the normal meaning of "leaded glass".

    When I was a kid in the 60's my Brother-in-law worked at a Uranium extraction plant in North Dakota. The plant had. a huge kiln where Uranium ore was dumped in one end, then heated and transported the length of the device and came out the other end in a different form. Occasionally a bolt or nut would drop in with the mix and come out the other end as a blob of steel imbedded with uranium ore. He gave me a couple of these, with the advice, carry them in your pocket for a few weeks and you will never have to worry about making your girl friend pregnant. Well I never did carry them, in fact I donated them to a. museum to be displayed in their mineral collection, where they still lay, emitting radiation into the pure South Dakota air. The Brother-in-law has now gone to his rewards, as has my sister, he good wife, cancer took them both, hell it attacked me as well and my other sister and my good wife of 51 years and 4 days. Mine, the Doctors say is survivable, where the rest of my family's were not. Funny how that works, I am now healing from the holes in my belly where the doctor cut me open and took out my cancerous Kidney and half my adrenal gland.

It's actually really easy to get nukes, you don't even need to build nuclear reactors, but most countries don't want them or have nuclear allies. Any country willing to spend some GDP on nuclear research can dig uranium out of the ground, enrich it to weapons grade in centrifuges, and voila--You're a nuclear power. That's how North Korea got theirs, without a single reactor.
      Hence why the argument for less reactors to stop bomb proliferation is utter nonsense, it's actually the complete opposite. Ironically, 10% of the energy created by US reactors is from old soviet warheads bought from Russia, rather reactors have done the most to stop proliferation.

You can break a chunk off a bar, pick it up on the end of your blowpipe, and blow through it. Windy Dankoff ran pots of it at a more normal concentration and gathered it for paperweights. I have some of his.

    I’ve been picking up uranium ore locally with a UV torch for a bit, and like you found, it’s strange that some of the higher uranium-content materials lose their fluorescent effects. Uraninite and pitchblende both have relatively high uranium content but have little to no fluorescence. While uraniferous opal is much lower (hard to find info, but never exceeding 15% uranium-bearing compounds, typically MUCH lower) and can exhibit some great phosphorescence.

      It’s also helpful to have UV blocking glasses, at least for ore / impure uranium. You’ll be able to see some bright reflection without them, but the classic green color is much easier to see without the semi-visible UV light interfering

    Man, I just love how you act smart and calm, yet puzzled 😂. Overall very cool, what surprised me though that even me as an like could tell it would need to anneal when it was cracking, because I assumed a certain simillarity with the steel structural behaviour, and I was at the end correct. When you had pulled it out straight away, you had basically tempered it, making it hard but brittle, where with the annealing, you've managed to make it not as hard, but more tough, simillar to steel. Very nice video! 🧡

My dad used to have all kinds of chemicals in his photography lab back in the day, including small amounts of ferrocyanide, uranyl nitrate, high purity sulphur, copper sulphate and permanganate and a lot of other stuff (boric acid was dirt cheap and found everywhere). Back to uranyl nitrate what fascinated me (i was but a child back then) was that the container it was in always had water droplets forming on the inside. I used to say it ¨sweated¨. :) And i used to take it out in my own hand, clean the water and put it back it. But the little glass bottle would ¨sweat¨ again. I also played quite a lot with elemental mercury. It's amazing i am still in one piece :) But in any case, i have come to learn that chemistry is a very beautiful science if done properly and safely.
    I do wonder though how he managed to get his hands on uranyl nitrate, especially since he lives in a Western country (i.e. very strict rules regarding access to such stuff).

I also have some colored glass that looks like uranium glass but doesn't glow or make a Geiger counter go crazy. Much safer and just as pretty imo.

      ​@@aurifulgorei'm pretty sure it mostly emits alpha and beta particles. Alpha particles are blocked by literally anything, even sheet of paper, or few centimeters of air. Beta is blocked by metal foil or normal glass of standard thickness. And you can't block gamma rays by any meaningful(for a home use) amounnt of material - like few centimeters of solid lead. So leaded glass isn't really better than normall glass in this regard.

According to Wikipedia, "Because of their levels of radioactive contamination, her papers from the 1890s are considered too dangerous to handle. Even her cookbook is highly radioactive. Her papers are kept in lead-lined boxes, and those who wish to consult them must wear protective clothing." She died at about 67 of aplastic anemia.
