An elderly woman in my neigborhood died last year because her lithium battery pacemaker was getting depleted and doctors said she was too old to get a surgery to replace the pacemaker's battery, other than that she was in perfect health, she would still be around if she had a plutonium pacemaker.
I got my pacer/defibrillator back in 1993 and before then there were some with plutonium powered ones being used. It's my understanding they were discontinued for several reasons. I was happy that they were discontinued because you have to report your every move to the government. My 1st one was battery powered and recharged every three months. The other 4 were replace every 10 to 12 years.
This was a very interesting topic to cover. I had no idea there were nuclear powered pacemakers. It's crazy to think that Plutonium 238 was the safest option out of other radioisotopes. Usually you put a funny joke at the end, but it was actually a bit wholesome this time.
What is wierd about Plutonium 238 being the safest option out of other radioisotopes? He didn't say it was the safest option of all. I would also prefer a radioactive peacemaker, rather than having to have s urgery every 15 years or so. Or would rather wirlessly charge myself lmao
You would be surprised nuclear batteries can actually the size of tiny microchips and the fact that you only need to send a small electric charge to a muscle to make it actuate or twitch just imagine the possibilities and applications for this technology and you don't even need to use plutonium you could use other radioactive materials like tritium betavoltaic nuklear batteries
My grandmother had a pacemaker, even had the thing maintained a few times if my memory is correct. The day she died, her pacemaker stopped with her. We all thought it was rather poetic, and she was buried with it since well... it was depleted anyways.
a buddy of mine has one, he’s maybe 19-20. a fake* weed cartridge killed him for 30 seconds (i believe) but he was successfully resuscitated, and now has one for the rest of his life for the full story: this was back in 2019-2020. i didn’t live in the greatest of areas at the time so if you didn’t go to a dispensary then you didn’t really know what you were getting (i live in NW Ohio so going to Michigan was fairly common, but not mainstream yet) he was standing by his back door; a glass sliding door; and blacked out and fell straight through it, yes, through the glass. he already had some health issues and the fake cart just finally did it, as i said he flatlined for 30ish seconds on the way to the hospital but was resuscitated, ultimately he needed a pacemaker. probably not a plutonium based one showcased in the video, but it’s still insane to me regardless. he’s alive and well thank fuck, would’ve been an awful way to die, especially at such a young age. *: fake could range anywhere from Pre-FDA regulation on Vitamin E Extract (and any other leading chemicals that caused health problems) or a flat out home-made (or tampered with) cart. nobody is quite sure and i doubt anyone remembers at this point. these were in the days of non-tamper-proof boxes, so mind you there wasn’t a way to be sure, you just trusted the guy
Very cool video again! I subscribed recently because i like the subjects you cover, physics, chemistry and some other interesting things! Keep going Slav!
@@ILaunchNukes Hahaha yeah indeed, but i don't blame him! I'm also doing a study as Chemical/Biological Physics Researcher and i love radioactivity subjects!
1:18 This it's actually true punching someone in the chest can make a patient that it's having a abnormal heart rhythm to hopefully convert to a better rhythm.This is called the precordial thump, it can be used to convert the rhythm as I said before. It's used if you don't have a AED around (automatic external defibrilator).Most studies says that this doesn't help very much but it's better than nothing. It generates about 5-10 Joules of mechanical energy
So if you have a nuclear-powered pacemaker and a girl gives you a compliment, you become the 4th Chernobyl reactor. Interesting, needs further investigation.
I wish I could have an atomic pacemaker, well they say "be careful what you wish for", but with one I would feel like I dont have to worry about my heart's health as much.
my great-grandmother had this nuclear powerd heart device.It was planted in 2016.She died in 2020.As i know,she must be a very lucky person to have this heart.
(I Really think our best option for our Future, is Utilizing New Nuclear energy options) We should invest in modern advanced nuclear energy options. Small form reactors, LFTRs, Thorium Reactors, liquid reactors. Utilizing our advanced modern technology, engineering, material science. our greater understanding of safety measures and designs. More advanced computer technology, robotics, It will really allow any nation to be pretty much be energy independent. Less reliant on fossil fuels. They'll have efficient, stable electrical grids and the rest of the grid could experiment with alternative power sources, etc. We need to heal from the trauma of our past and see that it happened solely from Us not understanding what we were doing, not having advanced enough technology, material science, engineering, safety measures, understanding of how to go about everything, etc. This source of energy will greatly help the world improve towards the future and lowering emissions more than anything else could while having a very stable electrical grid system. Currently we have alternative energy options but the majority of our grid is powered off of fossil fuels and emission producing sources of energy. We will be so much better going forward commiting to modern advanced nuclear energy options. It baffles me. Even tho Society is struggling, We are yet to even attempt to implement a concept around: "The better off the lowest income people are doing; The better off the rest of our countries economy could be doing." -Think of it like a ecosystem in nature. The least important little things might seem meaningless and insignificant yet, if they crumbled away, the entire ecosystem would crumble. The last things remaining would be the top diverse predators that eat everything else.. until they eat each other.. leaving just a few top sharks in the ecosystem.. the whales would all be gone once the plankton crumble away, the sharks would eat the whales. Then once all that's left is sharks, the sharks would eat the sharks. *(Think of this but as a analogy for our economy and our modern day society..) If we instead decided to support the lowest people in the ecosystem, there would be a beneficial systematic dispersion towards other aspects of society benefiting. All because the lowest people would be flourishing. I say flourish but I really just mean, able to obtain the most basic essential living standards... Yet even that would Vastly improve our current state of our economy & society *Also imagine this analogy in our economy. The more help we invest in the lowest level people, the more it would trickle into every facet of our economy. If poor people can pay their rent & not go homeless: landlords would get $, businesses would get $, banks would get $, local small shops would get $, mortgages & bills could be paid, insurance companies would get $, Taxes would get $, So essentially that $ would go out & filter right back in to improve our Country while simultaneously improving our quality of Life. Every bit of the economy would somehow find a way to benefit off of this situation... I don't get why we haven't even Given it a chance?? If it doesn't help? Then by all means stop it and figure out what problems we could be facing might be one's that run way deeper than expected and that would take drastic changes to improve that situation... (I hope we TRY something soon, before things get any more unstable. The worst thing we could do is continue on doing exactly what we are currently doing. It might get to a point where overcoming our struggles could simply become a pipedream. I don't want it to get to that)
Slight correction Mr Slav, not all pacemakers have radioactive elements, I suspect they’re changing over slowly from radioactive pacemakers due to the dangers of radiation and radioactivity which seems logical given we’ve come along way since the introduction of pacemakers that use radioactive materials!
I actually learned this 3-4 years ago when i was doing research about RTGenerators (the scientific name for these batteries) which i learned from mindustry
“SIR! WERE UNDER ATTACK! WHAT SHOULD WE DO-“ That person with the nuclear powered heart that is on a giant slingshot: “leave it to me.” [random city in the country that is attacking explodes] “WHAT THE-“ [more bombs fall] “WE SURRENDER!” [this is a joke] [sorry for this]
My friends said we were going install Atomic Heart. Not actually install an atomically powered heart.

for anybody interested, 2:49 is "Imagine the stress on patient's heart when he gets a nuclear pacemaker for his heart"
i didnt even see dat

Me too!
... So they were ALREADY making Über hearts? Damn, medic must've told engi to build a time machine.

Heavy: Putis?
Haha last quote was good again.
I always love that about Mr. Slav's videos not only informative but the humor on top of that. 😅❤
Came for nuclear powered pacemakers, got a history lesson on NASA's use of Plutionium batteries and how damn expensive they are.
oppenheimer stalking from the corner: i need that uranium
Wow! This is so cool! I did not know that they actually used plutonium in pacemakers.

Yeah, very good news
“Mom I want atomic heart”
“We have atomic heart at home”
*Atomic heart at home
Fun fact, close were i live is a company that produced such pacemakers, i wonder if there are still people out and alive with one of these
Loving you channel Mr Slav, your commentating is very soothing
Just in time for tonight's last video before bed, love the rebirth of the channel.
*”CHARGE ME DOKTOR”*
*”IYAHHHHHHH *insert minigun sounds*”*

I'm fairly sure this is also what powers the Terminator.
makes sense
"To unalive her husband" 1:23
Nice a nuclear reactor permanently in your heart, that actually is kinda cool
Not sure I'd want lithium inside my body, especially so close to the heart...
Forgot you existed was binging your videos and was getting sad cuz I finished the last video and boom you uploaded! Gave me a bit of a laugh
The end of some videos really got me🤣

Grammar check?
in case anyone for some reason was wondering what the song was around 4:25, it is space waves by ben elson
It’d be cool if we put the casing of one of these after taking care of the power source after 1 of those 9 eventually dies
In the Smithsonian
damn this is the real atomic heart experience
Literally the definition of atomic heart.

Im 25 and am on my 4th pacemaker already. Kinda wish i can have a plutonium powered one, would be so much cooler!

Dude, I love your last quote at every video!!
Ah yes, The Atomic Heart
“And my main goal is to blow up”
7:19 It wasn't a complement, but it was a hug from a few years before I graduated from High School
1:17 smash
I started watching this guy yesterday and I'm already hooked to his content, I learn more than i do in school from these videos!
"Nano machcines son"
Ah yes... My favourite science channel...
I guess my grandma is out there walking with a nuclear powered heart.
-hold on, i gotta put more plutonium for my heart real quick
2:49 said "imagine the stress on patient's heart when he gets a nuclear pacemaker for his heart"
Imagine having a nuclear heart and it makes your spit immediatly radioactive. lol
4:03 so it generates electricity via temp difference and also you should do a video about why the pacemaker is sensitive to some EM waves
i dont even care about the content, ima just turn one of his videos on loop because his voice is so satisfying.
Hey bro, my heart is canonically powered by nuclear radiation. I can also survive a gunshot aimed at my heart!
Bro: The hell are you on?
