Radioactive Items in a Household and Everyday Life
Ғылым және технология
In this video I demonstrate some radioactive items that are (or used to be) a part of our households or everyday life. For example, Fiesta Ware dishes, uranium glass, thorium lantern mantles, smoke detectors or radium watches. I use my 1962 military Geiger counter RBGT-62 and my homemade digital Geiger counter with an alpha sensitive (mica window) Geiger tube to measure the items.
Warning: Those items may be dangerous, especially when broken or opened!

I like how he talks honestly
I remember when I was a kid in 50’s and watched our alarm clock under the guilt. It looked so beautiful. And that explains why I am so bright. Hehehe. You have one sun glasses lens over the seven segment display. That’s good idea , must keep that in mind.
3,6 rontgen/hour not good but not terrilible
Diode Gone Wild-Is it possible,that you show us the circuit diagram of you selfmade geiger counter? and also explain it? That would be really great.

Gotta love radioactive smoke detectors! I have an old detector that has 13.4uCi of Americium 241.

Hmm i want one but can't find any apart from expensive ones on ebay. I wonder if I can go to some abandoned factory here but I'm not sure if they already took them out or if they even used them 🤔
nice video, I loved it, but I also liked your self-built machine for the tadiazioni, you can kindly provide me the wiring diagram with the list of components?
Radioactive cup of tea, hmm nice lol :-D Im supprised you havnt hurt yourself with the dangerous radioactive materials and high voltages i know you like lol :-D. Just be carefull, ok.

Hi, please write name and model this ckocks, thanks!
I own a makeup brush from decades ago that contains radium. The packaging claims it had skin benefits lmao

Super videa, díky Dane.
ha ha ha! priceless! Things are not done like in the good old times with Uranium ;)
Save those silver bags you get hard disks and some Chinese packages in, and on eBay i often buy from chips-fans because so far they've packaged everything in antistatic bags... Anyway you cut a piece out, and glue it on LED displays to hide the red/white plastic and make them look good. Nicer than sunglass lens.

It's not my original idea, i picked it up somewhere. Probably on KZread.
You remind me of *David Hahn from Czechoslovakia.* He made a Nuclear reactor in his garden shed!
Nice! What models/calibers are those watches? I have quite a few radium watches; mostly Soviet watches with radium. It looks like you have 2 Маяк (Mayak) watches and a Победа (Pobeda) watch. If so, then I have that one with the black dial, with the white track that goes around (except at the 6 o'clock position). Also, those americium-241 sources are "sealed sources". They won't come apart unless you really grind or file them up. The Am-241 is pressed between thin gold foil.
My radicode is super sensitive to americium. I though the US stop selling ionizing smoke detectors but found out that was not the case with it in the local hardware store.
Taka otazocka, ak polozim na detektor koure, alebo do tesne blizkosti nej nejaky predmet, a ponecham ho tam delsi dobu, bude tenhle predmet pak take zdrojem radiace ? Ptam se, ponevac jsem mel na stole delsi dobu detektor a byl jsem liny vymenit baterii, a kolem jsem mel spoustu predmetu, napr i slunecni brile v tesne blizkosti...Nerad bych si dal zdroj nejaky radioaktivy na hlavu...dekuju za odpoved
that was cool
That’s a cool smoke alarm. Where did you get it?
Yes, I just made another video of radioactive items in my home👍
Zdravím a koukám,že máš zase jiný profil:)
I Already Have A Geiger Counter And Uranium Glass And Radium Watch Hands And Americium-241 Source But Not Old Uranium Radioactive Fiestaware (New Fiestaware Does Not Have Uranium) Thorium Gas Lantern Or Welding Rods
What about a smart electrical meter?

What about them? There's no sources of ionising radiation inside them, and a good sturdy tin foil hat would protect you from the emanations of their zigbee, cell phone and powerline data links.
Thank you! Nice demonstration.

You cant measure it, because its too low

Doesn't the smoke detector that is radioactive accumulate the particles in the home. Can people breathe it? If you put paper in front of the detector do the particles still go off to the sides?
Oleg Ayzon! Please! Arrive!
Can you please give us a link to make that radio activity detector ??

Thats a geiger counter. Guys like you who doesn't even know the name of such a device should never have radioactive in their house.
I was thinking that you are saying "ringen" but you was saing roentgen
😱
They add uranium to Fiestaware to make it orange but add uranium to that jewellery and its green?!
never heard this kind of accent, what country are you from?
Best isotope, ²⁴¹Am.
Anybody smart enough to know how or if those plates and cups are actually dangerous with that level?
@pipsta

Only if you stuck them near your head for many years but I still wouldn't eat anything off them. When the plates have hot food on them it might make some of the radioactive paint (trace amounts) be ingested. It's not alot but it makes a difference if using it for a long period.
The good old days lol. When Irradiation was normal lol.
Man im gonna get everything out of my house
It was black
Sobotka style
It's very low level radiation, not so dangerous
Hi maybe u selling one unit.love ur acent in videos.best greating from Lithuania
Holy hell my fingers fell off
At 6:57 the cellular phone sounds it’s radiation! 😉⚡️📡
i mean, its not like those items are Chernobyl reactor 4 hot, but still, not very healthy i guess...

Hotplate 😂 well it's hot for sure ☢☠
These sources are nice, but not that dangerous at all here. Avoid ingesting any of it somehow, especially inhalation, like removing the radium paint. Nobody should worry about these. I have a collection of sources, and I look for the hottest sources I can find. I have almost 500 μCi of Am-241 alone. You won't get radiation sickness from items like these. Dangerous would be in _roentgens._ Not microroentgens or milliroentgens per hour. That's low level.

my surname is thorium because my father is thorium mining engineer.
What the hell did this freaking guy say? Can someone translate?
For future reference, when you're speaking in English, try to pronounce your words a little more clearly. I understand it's not your first language, but you were a bit hard to understand in this interesting video.
normal radiation is 2 clicks per second, any higher - run away, this guy is a cancer candidate handing all this stuff WITHOUT gloves ... dude - good luck
