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 - James
@@pressaltf4forfreevbucks179 Not exactly. As the OP said, the proper way to anneal glass is to place it in the oven and let the oven cool down over time in controlled steps.

I know three local blowers who have screwed around with uranium glass. Al Young in Detroit probably did the most. He melted a few pots of it, at a much higher concentration than you used, and drew out bars of the colored glass. John Fitzpatrick in Ferndale got his hands on a couple of those bars. 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.
Note: 7:38 have a dedicated lab refrigerator with a lock. The last you want just hanging out in the family refrigerator is a beaker of what appears to be clear water, but is actually liquified lye.
I know it's quite fun, but actually, the radiaton from the glass is so small, that you can drink from it couple times, and it will cause no problem. It will be better to use normal glass to drink most of the time, but if you want to, you can drink from uranium glass for a little while without actually causing any kind of damage to your body. P.S. I am not an expert, so it'll be better to actually ask an expert, google something on internet or simply do some research. And it was actually fun for me, that he says, that cons of the uranium he got, was that he can't make bombs with it.
@@BetterIP_ You could drink from it all day, every day, for the rest of your life. The radiation isn't contagious, you mouth-breather. No shit you're not an expert. You barely qualify as educated.
That's why failure is such an important part of science. We learn how to get better at achieving the results we expect but also learn new aspects of the problem that we did not initially know about, increasing our body of knowledge and potentially discovering something really important.
The sodium diuranate didn't fluoresce and I was concerned that maybe the glass was blocking the blacklight. I went back and tested it on its own though, and it definitely doesn't fluoresce. m.imgur.com/a/e7YOpH9 Also, it has been pointed out that my reading of micro sieverts wasn't very accurate. This is because the counter can't actually differentiate between alpha/beta/gamma and it instead uses math to approximate things. This is only accurate to what it was calibrated to, and for uranium, it won't give a very accurate reading. I figured it was still better than just CPM, but I should have added that it's also not very accurate. My reading here is probably higher than it should be and the danger is being overestimated.
Im assuming you know basic radcon, but definitely make sure you dont injest or inhale the uranium. And take through surveys of your workstation after your done. -radcon worker

@Gabriel Leite - Unlike Mr NileRed, Marie Curie had a high, long-term exposure. Her shop was liberally sprinkled in the uranium distillation materials. 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.

They're not testy about that sort of information at all because it's been widespread public knowledge since the 1950s, but when ignorant RUclipsrs disregard safety and pose a threat to public safety, they act, and they did.
@Horizon585 He himself said that he wasn't storing everything perfectly and also had some waste he really didn't have any use for. You guys bagatellise these things, but accidents can happen and nuclear safety is not a game.
What you have to understand, that they aren't concerned about you building a nuke. They are concerned about *poisoning* yourself or others.
FullMetal the government let dumbass "challenges" like the cinnamon challenge, choking game, fire challenge, tide pod challenge, etc slide so I doubt they give a fuck about public safety. If you don't believe the government doesn't care about home nuclear testing, you're pretty naïve.
@@kenny1515gamer that's on them.
@@Dinnye01 exactly what Kendall said. The government doesn't even want other countries to have any form of nuclear testing, let alone a random citizen building a nuke in their backyard.

my kind of poisoning
I know three local blowers who have screwed around with uranium glass. Al Young in Detroit probably did the most. He melted a few pots of it, at a much higher concentration than you used, and drew out bars of the colored glass. John Fitzpatrick in Ferndale got his hands on a couple of those bars. 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 love how he says it so calmly that it is toxic to humans and then drinks from the glass.
I know it's quite fun, but actually, the radiaton from the glass is so small, that you can drink from it couple times, and it will cause no problem. It will be better to use normal glass to drink most of the time, but if you want to, you can drink from uranium glass for a little while without actually causing any kind of damage to your body. P.S. I am not an expert, so it'll be better to actually ask an expert, google something on internet or simply do some research.
And it was actually fun for me, that he says, that cons of the uranium he got, was that he can't make bombs with it.
The glass actually doesnt make the food in it radioactive.
i made this like comment 666
@@BetterIP_ You could drink from it all day, every day, for the rest of your life. The radiation isn't contagious, you mouth-breather.
No shit you're not an expert. You barely qualify as educated.
Same way drinking water from (properly maintained) lead pipes.... its safe. But if you would ingest lead powder, it's not.
it's crazy how such a low percent of uranium is still capable of completely changing the color of the glass and making it fluoresce
something goes wrong:
NileRed: I actually think that was pretty cool

@@lajoswinkler drinking from the cup yeah. i thought drinking that uranium solution 😅
The sodium diuranate didn't fluoresce and I was concerned that maybe the glass was blocking the blacklight. I went back and tested it on its own though, and it definitely doesn't fluoresce.
m.imgur.com/a/e7YOpH9
Also, it has been pointed out that my reading of micro sieverts wasn't very accurate. This is because the counter can't actually differentiate between alpha/beta/gamma and it instead uses math to approximate things. This is only accurate to what it was calibrated to, and for uranium, it won't give a very accurate reading. I figured it was still better than just CPM, but I should have added that it's also not very accurate. My reading here is probably higher than it should be and the danger is being overestimated.
I was just about to ask if you tried without glass. Good work.
Thanks, wanted to ask just that a moment ago :)

I had a thought that made me curious... I was hoping that you or one of your fans could answer this question for me.
You mentioned that you wouldn't suggest wearing it, long term anyway, as jewelry.
My question is...
Would coating it in polyurethane, or some other kind of clear sealant, block the harmful rays that it emits enough to make it more safe to wear as jewelry?
If anyone could satisfy my curiosity I'd appreciate any knowledge that anyone is able and willing to share.
