Fortunately the most basic of cyclotrons are by far beyond the average idiot, how they will then build a centripetal device to accrue mass while limiting accelerated exponential decay is beyond most of the worlds top physicists.

    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

      @@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. Most of my friends who have taken glass lampworking more seriously than I did have ovens specifically meant for this process. He's trying to make borosilicate glass (think Pyrex), but I'm puzzled since he's not using aluminum oxide in the mix as is typical from what I understand. The omission may be intentional, but it also may be in part why such small pieces were so sensitive.

      @@chloroform7204 A lot of countries, apparently. It's actually really easy to get nukes, you don't even need to build nuclear reactors, but most countries don't want them or have nuclear allies. Any country willing to spend some GDP on nuclear research can dig uranium out of the ground, enrich it to weapons grade in centrifuges, and voila--You're a nuclear power. That's how North Korea got theirs, without a single reactor.
      Hence why the argument for less reactors to stop bomb proliferation is utter nonsense, it's actually the complete opposite. Ironically, 10% of the energy created by US reactors is from old soviet warheads bought from Russia, rather reactors have done the most to stop proliferation.

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 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.

    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.

    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.

      Was this smart tho? I don't mean the knowledge displayed but the actions themselves. He was working with radioactive material and powdered substances containing it.

      Wonder how much stuff gets dumped down the drain? I went through a bit of a headache trying to find a place in my mid-sized city that would take less than a 1/2 gallon of old gasoline I had from the lawn mower. I can't imagine these recycling centers take anything the likes of what this guy is playing with.
