- The most requested thing you wanted us to test in the cloud chamber is a cell phone, so let's find out if phones are radioactive! (hint: they aren't, obviously.)

I was surprised the phone wasn't radioactive considering that it had Reddit, and that alone is incredibly toxic.
And Twitter that shit is toxic
What about Instagram and Facebook
that's toxicity not radiation...
@@Wolfrich666 I know I just wanted to make a joke.
Twitter is worse
Test a laptop or wifi router. Parents keeps shutting down the wifi at night saying the "radiation" from these things are dangerous
Do they know they are still showered with radiowaves even when they turn off the wifi? 😂😂
@@acmhfmggru EM Radiation at the levels that anybody could be subject to in their home has no meaningful association with tumor growth. Stop spreading bullshit. There isn't even a mechanism for *how* it could.
@@acmhfmggru nah nah nah, show me where you came up with the link of EM radiation to tumor growth. Do phones and routers put out something besides radio/near micro waves, like they’re intended to, that can be harmful or do radio/ near micro waves cause the tumors themselves?
@@Panin2001oca lmfao you just asked "whats the link of EM radiation to tumor growth" which clearly shows that you dont know your sh!t. EM stands for electromagnetic which includes the entire spectrum including x and g rays. The previous commenter said "wifi EM radiation" meaning microwaves
@@acmhfmggru Ionizing radiation is linked to tumour growth, not WIFI EM. What are they talking about. At very high levels the worst that happens is blood is very slightly impaired from picking up oxygen. But barley at all.
I saw another one of your comments saying that it says it has a cancer risk on cell phone boxes. This is 1 of 2 things
1. Heavy metals can be carcinogenic. which cell phones contain. You would have to be snorting it of course to have any effect
2. They are saving themselves from liability. Sometimes a "study" says cell phones are linked to cancer. But then way more studies come along discounting that. But people will still try to sue off of bad evidence.
Phones are only Radioactive when you play Imagine Dragons.
😂... Was searching for your answer !

Lmao ur mom rules ahahaua
The gaming lobby cant fool her...
Your mother should go outside a little, no offense to you of course

I love these sorts of videos, specifically because such visual and simple demonstrations are just so effective at dispelling misinformation. It doesn't have to be "well studies say..", it's just "here, look!"
It only works on those who base their decisions on rational thought though, which is sadly uncommon.
There’s no nuclear radiation in a microwave either and for some reason people won’t put their hands in them!
@@batemanboi9672 Correct. Microwaves produce electromagnetic radiation, which is the same as radio, heat, and visible light. Microwaves are non-ionizing, which means they don't have the energy to actually mess with atoms and the like (as opposed to things like x-rays, which are ionizing). It would be a bad idea to put your hand in a microwave simply because it would burn you, not because it would give you cancer.
it only works on those who alreay believe science, if you werent born with thatbits not gonna work
@@acmhfmggru hey look you proved the guy above you right
I would love to see you put radium painted watch-hands into the cloud chamber
Edit: For all who do not know, watch-hands at one point were painted with a paint containing the extremely radioactive element radium
💀
I have like a plastic glow in the dark stone in my room and always wonder if it's safe because i got it from my grandmas house
Ok
Those poor ladies died for them hands
@@timi3114 It most likely is, just don't swallow it.
is it radioactive? no. does it emit radiation? yes. everything emits radiation, be it light, heat, or sound.
If it emits radiation then isn't it also radioactive? It's not ionizingly radioactive tho.
@@kittyn5222 well if emitting radiation means it's radioactive, everything you can see is radioactive since you can only see it because of the radiation that it is emitting via reflection
@@kittyn5222 also, part of being radioactive requires it to emit ionizing radiation, at least if I remember correctly.
@@kittyn5222 Radioactive refers to materials that undergo radioactive decay. The naming is somewhat confusing because part of that decay is actually just ionized atoms not radio waves. In general the naming scheme here isn't entirely ideal.
@@kittyn5222in this case, "radiation" is a misnomer, as it's just a fancy name for electromagnetic waves. it's not RADIOACTIVE, which would be emitting alpha and beta particles (and gamma radiation)
After a few hours of being in the comments, I've learned a few things:
There is an important distinction between "radioactive" and "emits electromagnetic radiation"
radioactive is about the dangerous wavelengths of EMR. (beta, alpha, gamma), which he tested for.
On a medical note, there have been a few cases where people attributed phones to causing cancer, but it's most likely correlation, not causation, especially considering the results of the video.
On an tangential note, coal power plants actually put more radiation into the environment around them then nuclear power plants. Naturally occurring radioactive elements are present in the coal, and are concentrated in the ash. Coal plants generally have a lower safety standard than nuclear plants due to various stigmas (thanks, Russia)
TL;DR: radioactive is only the dangerous ones, cell phones don't cause tumors, and you're more likely to get radiation poisoning living next to a coal power plant than living next to a nuclear power plant.
A small correction.
Alpha and beta radiation is particle radiation, not EMR.
Radioactivity refers to radioactive decay of atoms which can emit both particle radiation and EMR.
Nice sum👍
what about my BBQ briquettes?
BS - too much wrong terminology
Awesome sum
Clarification: Phones *DO* emit some radiation, but not the *HARMFUL* ones like ionizing radiation. They emit *RADIO WAVES* that are essential in transmitting signals like text and radio, and radio waves are on the far left of the EM spectrum, where longer wavelengths sit and don't harm life. The right side is where shorter wavelengths stay, and where more UV it emits, and thus making it dangerous.
Don’t forget the put it radiation in the visible spectrum as well ;)
Its ultraviolet radiation I think and maybe microwaves too
@@quandaledingle9981 why would phones emit UV? All phones are likely to emit is visible light (from the screen), some infrared (heat), maybe microwaves (5G) but mainly radio waves (all other communications).
@@conorstewart2214maybe technically some cellphones may have a "green" led light, that's all I can think tho.
@@lugoorstar that’s still visible light though, not UV. Any UV that is possibly emitted will be very low anyway.
I love the fact that people who think phones are radioactive probably don't even know what it means for something to be radioactive
all they know is that radiation means cancer
@enriqueamaya3883 Hmm I don't know, does Jesus aprove of me being trans and gay?
Well they're misinformed or ignorant but perceiving phones as a potential health hazard is rational.
@@boscoalbertbaracus1362 At the end, it just depends on how you use it and for how much time wether it's harmful or not
@@UnkownUnkown01 a typo or two but still the most accurate thing I've seen on this entire comment thread.
I know a person who loves to sun bath without sun screen, but he is afraid of the radiation of the phone.
Man, the gamma radiation of the sun is so much more damaging in a sunny summer midday that whatever the phone is going to emit in 100 years in your pocket.
not even gamma, the UV radiation is literally ruining their skin by the minute
Bro is trying to speedrun getting skin cancer
I sent this as proof to my mom that phones aren't radioactive
She said "I can tell that that video's been faked"
Boomers nowadays🙄🙄🙄🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
same
the fact that she probably watches her favorite movies on the tv is ironic
The people who weren't convinced before will not be swayed with evidence unfortunately.
Plenty of people just saw something about it online and didn’t think about it. They may be swayed.
Whats so wrong with that? Having reservations is completely normal. Its not like it influences your life if some random guy on the other side of the planet prefers to not use his phone so much.
@@pressaltf4forfreevbucks179 because superstition is always bad and superstitious people always try to spread their paranoid delusions out of a desperation to "save" others from that which they are terrified of.
That's also why the protection money extortion syndicates that constitute religion are so successful throughout history.
@Press Alt+F4 for free Vbucks unfortunately some of these guys decide to strong arm the politicians (via activism) into making laws against such tech, purely because they're uncomfortable with it, without any scientific reasons.
You right. I still dont trust technology just because i know too many people with brain tumors
Test the natural background radiation of various places. Beaches, forests, mountains, cities, landfills, etc..
Some areas would have a detectable amount of ionizing radiation more then others. Still under the danger limit of course.
@@Octahedran Yep, but I'm curious how they compare. Are there any unexpected areas that have lots of radiation like the land fill?
Bro, your just asking him to walk around with a geiger counter
@@runix2189 Landfills would probably have more radiation then other areas due to radium, thorium and other things found in scam products as well as other things.
@@faf8709 You mean you don't do that in your spare time?
I used to have anger issues as a kid (was probably a side effect from being a loner)
And my mom kept saying "If you have too much anger issues that's *TOO MUCH* radiation from your gadgets"
The radiation of other humans usually tickles the ol rage button for me. You gadgets need to keep your racket down. Damn kids
I mean, they are radioactive in the strictest sense, but then so are light bulbs...
Heat is also a form of radiation. So we are also radioactive
people fail to realize that radiation does not always mean radioactive.
google the word radiate. doest have to be a deadly form of a radio active material lmao
I had an ionising radiation course during my physics degree. The whole argument with radiation is not about ionising radiation but near microwaves causing heating in localised areas in body tissues like the brain. Needless to say the effect is insignificant.
A microwave is insignificant? That stuff is powerful bro, why do you think theres so many warnings not to take the cover off? That thing would fry your brain in an instant
@@Kirkaig A phone consumes around 6W at most which is distributed to the processor, the screen and other components also including the wifi trasmitter. A microwave oven consumes about 800 to 1000W almost exclusively as microwaves.
@@Kirkaig No, see how the middle of your food is cold when you use a microwave? A home microwave would not penetrate deep, it would however be very hot and cook your eyes. A phone doesn't have enough power to heat you.(It's like 5% of your resting metabolic power)
@@Kirkaigyou are a prime example of the dunning Krueger effect, you know so little about how microwaves work, that you don't realize your own incorrectness. Microwaves aren't just one thing, they are a small section of the electromagnetic spectrum, there are an infinite number of divisions within it, each one does different things to different things, and are very poor at interacting with matter in a consistent manner
@@Kirkaigyou are comparing a drop of water to the whole ocean.
I think laymen get "radiaton" confused with "radioactivity".
Anyone who says that phones are radioactive has no idea what radioactivity is or how phones work and should not be trusted
If the phone have TikTok, Twitter, and Reddit installed. It's the weapon of mass destruction for humanity
weapons of mass distortion
I think you might want to put a clarification in this one in that cellphones do not give off ionizing radiation, which is the dangerous type. They do, however, give off radiation in the form of radio waves. That's how they communicate with cell phone towers and with wifi. Like I said, not dangerous, especially not at the strength a cell phone can produce, but it's still radiation, and it's something people will cling to and use to "debunk" your video
Absolutely, i have seen people discount this video because the slightly wrong terminology was used in a video with not that much time
That's the problem with shorts you can't explain stuff in detail
but the benefit of shorts is attracting audience plus less work to make a video
Yeah, but visible light is radiation too. You don't see anyone going on rants against the ability to see. Visible light is much higher energy than radio waves, anyway.
It depends how long and how close someone has it near their body over time. A woman that held her phones over ten years in her bra got tumors all over that area. The only thing that made sense to the doctors was the phones' RF.
@@watamatafoyu Breast cancer is one of the most common type of cancer. That's why you need to get tested often. There is currently zero link between RF radiation and cancer of any kind.
The fact that so many people fear phone radiation goes to show that teaching the VERY BASIC fundamentals of physics in school has failed utterly. The light reflecting off your hand, and shining out of the screen of your phone are closer to ionizing your brain for christ's sake.
If these people understood how EMF works they would never step out during the daytime due to their fear of cancer.
its why religion is still majority and it exists.

Bananas are known to be the most radioactive fruit. But would they be visibly radioactive in the cloud chamber?

@@thomasontdeker there was a line visible actually, he just cut the clip very quickly after it showed. Look carefully at the end of the banana clip

The problem is that he use banana fruit and not the peel
Bananas without B are pineapple
finally, as a technician who had this argument a lot of times I really apriciate this video
Cellphones doesnt give radioactive thingy to your eyes to get blurry its just the light we keep staring for hours
The idea that phones are radioactive comes from confusion (in some cases deliberate) over the terminology in electromagnetic emissions also being a type of radiation. This confusion has been leveraged since before cell phones to stoke conspiracy theories since sometime during WWII.
Imagine being an adult and your brain is so blank you don't understand that low energy EM waves don't carry enough energy to hurt you
Except that they can, with enough time. That's why it's not wise to keep your phone close to your bed while you sleep ESPECIALLY with wireless or bluetooth activated (trust me, it's not pleasant)

My parents kept telling me that cellphones and computers are radioactive even when I show them a chart of ionizing radiation and electromagnetic radiation and they wouldn't believe me at all. Told me that they read a book in the library about computers emitting radiation and that it's bad for you. They automatically assume that "radiation" means ionizing radiation whenever they encounter the term.
i showed this to my grandma because she thought that phones are radioactive. I’m now sure how but when I did, she told me “… I still think it’s radioactive.”
grandma you cannot escape the truth of science its literally right there
Test a bottle of Pepto Bismol! 😁
Good idea, you're thinking of the bismuth! However it has incredibly trace amounts of it, and bismuth is by-and-far the least radioactive element, to the degree that you would wait an incredibly long time to just see a single particle.
In theory yes. It would be radioactive but barley detectable if at all. Bismuth is the least radioactive element and has a half life of 20,000,000,000,000,000,000. So no need to worry. Eating a banana would probably be "worse"
What many people miss understand is that the energy that is employed isn't the same kind of energy as that you might be exposed to by thorium and uranium. They are comparing electromagnetic radiation from their antina when a cell phone transmitter is used and the radiation from a radioactive material like thorium. Both are potentially harmful in high enough concentrations however, one you will absolutely need a huge transmitter and lots of power to cause cancer or injury and the other you are able to receive harmful effects simply by being in the same room as a sorce. Absolutely Both could have negative effects on someone but one would require you to be in the direction and very close proximity of a radio transever.
Considering that you regularly get bombarded with radiation with much higher frequencies, called VISIBLE LIGHT, I'd say radio wave exposure is perfectly safe
@Long Nguyễn typically the worst you could possibly get is a burn or something along those lines. Even then it typically requires a long exposure and close proximity to the sorce.
I knew it was a conspiracy theory for cellphones to be radioactive
My friend tried to convince me that I have to shut down my phone at night and put it in another room to avoid radiation and I always thought that was bogus, now I know it was bogus
it does have electromagnetic radiation tho. No study has proven this has negative effects since its not capable of ionising whatsoever but better lower the use
@@daharahapuarachchi4385 I always had it next to my bed for my alarm for years, nothing happened, I never got cancer like they claimed…
@@DraconixDG you wouldn't get cancer but electromagnetic radiation might have potential long term side effects

I though I was going to come out of this video like “Oh god I’m going to get cancer now” but instead enjoyed a pleasant sigh of relief
Family whatsapp group will go crazy after this.
The thing that scares people about phone radiation is the massive misconception that all radiation = bad. There’s a VERY big difference between the mostly harmless radio waves let off by radio towers, microwaves let off by microwaves and ionizing radiation like UVC, gamma rays, and X-rays.
people also forget that light is a form of radiation
@@PlzDoNotTheFadeyep, as well as heat

@@kennyljs or become the incredible dictator-man with super power
This guy can see radiation, but can he see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
Phones contain radio waves which aren’t dangerous to humans, anything after UV rays like Xrays and Gamma Rays are the stuff you want to avoid.
the phones are actually radioactive, but they radiate microwave radiation, which is totally harmless and even less powerful than visible light
And radio waves,but enough of anything can cause the water inside you to become excited
Yeah it's harmless until you have 1000 watts of it, aka, a microwave oven
So if phone radiation=harmful
Visible light=melts you
@@soacespacestation8556 people wouldve disintegrated if they saw light then
@@f-106deltadart the correct word for this is hot like microwave furnaces.
If phones were radioactive we'd be doomed, considering there's about 4 bagillion (yes I know, not a real unit of measurement) different frequencies of waves passing around and through me right now, and they've been doing that to people since the 1920s when we figured out this whole radio thing
and radio transmitters in the 20s and 30s were insane when it comes to power outputs.
Man had it in a plastic baggie lol
All phones emit radiation, just not the ionizing type of radiation
People need to learn the difference between radioactive and radiation.
There were many dayes and damas (old men and women) requested to destruct the cell phone base stations, because it will “impact their health”, after the destruction completed they were talking “why my cell phone don’t have signal” 😂
People should be terrified of going outside if they’re afraid of phones

"DAMMIT, SNUFFLES"
As I know, they are radioactive, but it's no more dangerous than having a walk on a sunny day (since sun is also radioactive, but our atmosphere suppresses most of radiation. So, technically, being under the sun is actually more dangerous 🤷♂️)

I remember back in the day when laptops were becoming more common - constant rumors that they emitted dangerous amounts of radiation and caused cancer. Same when cell phones became a common household item. Everyone was terrified of getting brain cancer from holding the cell phone up to their ear.
Yeah some people actually think that the phone is cooking your head.
I think the myth was from the fact that some radio towers then do actually emit a frequency or something that was harmful, granted it had to be massive for it to actually occur and you had to be super close proximity to get it
Well, it kinda is, when they're terminally online.
@@tydshiin5783 yeah, climbing radio/radar towers and going in front of the antennae while in use is not going to end well.

@@thisfeatureisbad
i mean, phones do emit radiation, but it will never be strong enough to rip electrons apart from the nucleai that builds your DNA.
Lack of information/Misinformation does harm individuals. People who have not been teached on such matters are far more prone to assume the next most convincing explanation without hesitation. Lastly, it's easier to fool someone than convincing them they've been fooled.

Nice try, we all know your phone is still made out of chemicals.
@@TheWretchedOwl Shit you rite. I’m gonna stop eating it now.
This doesn't disprove that your phone emits waves, it shows that it's not radioactive which is different. Your phone can still be dangerous if you sleep with your connection on and your phone near your head for example, due to the electromagnetic field it creates (that has nothing to do with radioactivity).
@@jeanmerguz2792 A lightbulb emits waves more powerful than your phone. Neither a phone nor lightbulb emits anything thats powerful enough to interact with the cells in your body. Alpha, Beta and Gamma rays, however, DO have enough energy to knock particles out of molecules, thus damaging cells. They do this by ionizing atoms in the cells.
@@jeanmerguz2792 proof?

Intel once had trace amounts of uranium (like less than 1%) in their CPU casings. The radiation apparently caused so many bitflips it was one of the least reliable chips ever made.
yeah, because the factory was near an abandoned uranium mine
Better question - are low doses of radiation actually dangerous?
I think you misssd a great opportunity to use a banana for scale... for the geiger counter to reas higher radiation levels than a cell phone. (Assuming one or a bunch would be enough to set it off).
Tungsten welding electrodes next please! They make them with different compounds, 2% thorium is common
The amount of people that bought in to this myth (and still do), is sadly unsurprising.
Well, if we made nuclear phones, they could probably last unbelievably long, and very probably longer than the user
2% thoriated tungsten TIG welding electrodes. Grind some of it into a powder too; just like us welders do to make a sharp point to weld with.
[Muffled screaming in radiation safety nerd]
Great idea
I'm going to be honest, since I saw the first video, the concern for my electronic devices irradiating my body started pinging in the back of my head for a couple of days. Nothing too disconcerting that it made me not want to touch the things anymore, more like the thought crossed my mind more then usual
I've always knew about the myth behind this, like how people with several cellphones together were able to pop a popcorn kernel, but never bothered looking up anything about it
So thanks for the part 2
Can you put the Chernobyl reactor 4 in there? I'm curious on how it would look.
Speed running yt shorts, yes, buy the amount phones put out is so minimal it can't hurt you
Depends on your definition of radioactive. Cell phones like most electronics emit nonionizing radiation which is generally considered safe in most situations.
generally “radioactive” does not just mean “emitting radiation”, but specifically emitting radiation trough some form of nuclear reaction.
Technically following that logic, everything emits nonionizing radiation from blackbody radiation
Nice video, sad that we're still asking these questions.
our teacher always preached to us that we shouldnt have our phone in our pockets next to our balls, because its gonna hurt them. she just didnt want us to have our phones
Technically phones are radioactive however its %100 less radioactive than a tiny piece of regular string
It doesn't produce any radiation it just has some materials that are used with other materials to make radioactive material.
Your phone might not be radioactive, but my phone with its uranium case is
Might wanna consider replacing that with a regular otterbox or summin
I want a phone case that can survive getting hit by an armor piercing discarding sabot fin stabilized round and I wont settle for anything less.
i was literally wondering this just last night
Everything is radioactive but it’s so little radiation detecters won’t trigger
My teacher believes that phones do emit radiation and we shouldn't be on them for so long, luckily she doesn't enforce it too much (if at all), she must've also been misinformed.
Man thank you so much!!
I think most people dont think its "radioactive", but rather it emits "radiation".
Also, try measuring when its connected to a call.
“radiation” is not all bad. When sitting next to a campfire you’re experiencing thermal radiation, for example. Radio and microwave radiation is weaker than ultraviolet (and visual light).
@@FSXflyermaster We arent talking about harmless radiation though? Phones now must go through tests that ensure that phones must have SAR ratings under a certain level. Meaning if youre from a country thats well regulated, any phone on the market has already passed the necessarily tests and regulations.
But make no mistake, they still emit harmful radiations, just at a much lower level to whats "acceptable".
@@yerri5567 It isn't harmful and these kinds of tests don't necessarily exist because there is an actual risk but just out of an abundance of caution and occasionally just to respond to public hysteria. If phones could hurt you everyone would have died back when CRTs were popular.
@@hedgehog3180 It depends on exposure. And theres evidence to suggest that long term exposure at CLOSE DISTANCE actually does affects our health.
And what do you mean by CRT? Cardiac resynchronization therapy? Cathode ray tubes? Whatever you mean, its not long term exposure at CLOSE distance. Unlike heavy phone users. And the point was not that it causes death, but rather negatively affecting our health.
Ask Apple, so disappointed they can increase or decrease radiation via software. That’s scary!
You seem to have a misunderstanding, The absolute worst the radio waves that come out of your phone can do is make your face slightly warm while close by if they had super high power. But the frequency is quite literally about 100,000 times lower then what would be required to start damaging your DNA. And even then just being outside in the sun is far more dangerous.
Thanks for testing smart phones.
How about putting Glow in the dark items? or ignited cigarettes?
Glow in the dark stuff does nothing, At least modern. You are probably thinking of radium which has not been used in along time but keeps stuff glowing. With the old stuff the radium would decay and have the glow in the dark stuff put off visible light. The new stuff is activated by either heat or light however.
Curious about burning material, which should release rapidly degrading hydrocarbons.
Burning materials won't work because the cloud chamber only works when it's kept at a fairly low temperature. Also especially a bad idea because you're looking at vaporized alcohol which could ignite.
So what is the SAR measurement on old cellphones for?
Thank you!! I’ve always wondered this and having the proof in the pudding is awesome
finally found out new thing: " gas mantle " was commonly made of thorium dioxide (radioactive) and other components
but what if I listen to a radio channel with the phone? joke
If the radio not active it's ok. Just radio-inactive
it's not Radioactive, it's just an active radio 😉
Radiopassive
I heard that radio was murdered somewhere so I think you should be fine.
I think people are confusing microwaves and radiation. Yes, phones do emit microwaves, but those have so much low power that it fades out within 20~30feet(Bluetooth works on 2.4GHz). These can barely scratch any human and it certainly doesnt "induce violent and aggressive behavior in teenagers"(ahem). As for radiation, this guy did the job.
And now this video finally proved it wrong
Can you try bananas and house dust next? In my experience, bananas barely gave off anything, and house dust was pretty radioactive.
Next thing to test:
