I can confirm that Brazil nuts are radioactive. As part of a nuclear engineering course, I did a group project where we used a radiation meter to guide the chemical extraction of radium from them. You can mark Brazil nuts down as “interesting.”
I hope y'all do a video looking into "negative ion bracelets"- it turns out a lot of them are actually radioactive, to the point of being potentially unsafe for long-term wear
So in other words that nuclear scientist that used bananas to measure doses of radiation was using a banana for scale...Ill let myself out now
People are more scared of radiation these days than ever. Thank you for busting these myths as we desperately need more nuclear power, especially here in the U.S.
I love the story about someone asking his friend working at a nuclear power plant if it was safe swimming in the pool of water they they cool down spent fuel and he said "Absolutely, it's perfectly safe unless you dive very deep. Though you would die from gunshots in your back before ever reaching the pool"
I remember a RussianBadger video where one of his buddies brought up "there's a certain amount of potassium that's radioactive. We worked it out, and it would take approximately 40,000 bananas to kill you," to which another one of his buddies, Bing, responded "oh yes, THE RADIATION would kill you," implying that the radiation isn't what would kill you first, it's trying to consume 40,000 bananas in one sitting.
Jasons reaction to fake salt was exactly mine. Just pure confusion.
Another radioactive source is camera lenses made pre-1980. Thorium was used as an antireflective coating. I have a couple with one in particular being quite strong. An easy was to tell if something has ionizing radiation is to put the object in question on top of a piece of undeveloped film in a dark closet for a day or two. Afterwards, if there's a "spot" where the object was on top of the film, it's radioactive.
Look up the story of David Hahn. Built a nuclear reactor as a teen in his backyard shed, and used old smoke detectors. Pretty wild. He was caught btw.
that salt is potassium chloride, as opposed to table salt which is sodium chloride. if the potassium salt is synthesized from potassium it would make a lot of sense to find a lot of radioactive potassium in it.
If you take your Geiger counter to antique stores, you can often find several "hot" items, such as Vaseline Glass, dark orange plates called Fiesta Ware, and revigarators, which were water vessels that contained radium. Many radium watches and thorium camera lenses can easily be found there as well.
So refreshing to hear someone with knowledge/expertise say flatly, 'I don't know' and 'I'm not sure, we can see'
I would assume that the main reason stump remover is less radioactive than the salt substitute is because stump remover is KNO3, and NO3- has a molar mass of 62 g/mol, while Cl- has a molar mass of 35 g/mol. This means that potassium makes up ~52% of salt substitute, but only ~38% of stump remover (obviously, this assumes that the chemicals in these products are unadulterated by anti-caking agents, or significant impurities, which could exacerbate or diminish differences in the amount of potassium in a set volume of powder).
From what I've heard, there were issues in the past with bananas in shipping containers. So many of them, that they were detectable by customs as radioactive. Not dangerous, but annoying to anyone looking for legit dangerous contraband.
You should try some of the anti5G and anti-radiation stuff. A lot of it has turned out to be radioactive.
Jim missed his calling as a stand up comedian. Love his jokes and reactions, hes got me here rollin.
Peanut butter also has phosphors in it, try hitting it with a UV light for a few seconds to "charge it", and then see how it shines!
Love these videos with Jim. He's game for a laugh and knows his shit
There is actually a large market for "Self healing" products on Amazon that are largely radioactive. Things like Balance Bracelets and Healing Rocks. Amazon is actually having a hard time keeping the products off their site.
