    While on a road trip with our friends from Broken Window Theory, we explore the best abandoned asylum we've ever seen. The building dates back to the 1700s and is filled with natural decay, old relics, and lots of history.

      Could be because locals know its history and don't want to mess with it. And it can also be protected by the state, so massive fines for vandalism. Government might even own the building, but they don't have the money or interest to keep it in tiptop shape (considering it's Italy, it doesn't see such harsh winters, so keeping the walls up is easy with minimal supervision). Pretty common in europe that some locations look untouched because of this, but the building next block can be full of grafitti if it's just regular old industrial building etc...

    I can tell you what that wood tilt table you saw in the hallway is for. It's for testing blood pressure. They still use them. It's how they diagnosed one of the blood pressure problems I have. They place you on the table and have you laying down and take your blood pressure. Then they tilt you down till you're in a standing position. Then they take your blood pressure and monitor your heart rate. In a normal person, the veins in the legs will constrict and the heart will beat harder to counteract gravity. But some people have an issue where the blood will start pooling in the legs and they will start to get dizzy and will pass out after a while. That's what the tilt table test looks for.

    Radiation symbol was for isotope 147 of Promethium which has a half-life of 2.62 years and emits beta particles.
    Will be around 0.000012% remaining since 1996. The rest will have decayed into Samarium 147 which emits alpha particles very slowly and is pretty safe.
    Even if it were brand new it would be pretty safe unless you dismantled the equipment and exposed the Promethium.

    The device in the gynecological room with the mobile arms with disks on the tops is a short-wave diathermy device used for heat treatments. The disks would be placed a few inches from bare skin at opposite ends of an area being treated, and the tissues would be vibrated by the high-frequency current, similar to microwaves, generating intense heat. This was one of the few kinds of "elecrtotherapy" that didn't hurt at least somewhat, and one of the most useful. Companies like Leibel-Flarsheim produced these well into the 1970s. That looks like a relatively new one; older ones tended to have big, bulky electrodes.

    • @mattikro
      @mattikro 5 лет назад +8

      How do you know this? I'm so fucking curious and impressed, I tried to do as much digging as I could but the only thing I found out is that it uses Promethium 147 which is often used in nuclear batteries and could possibly be used for xrays.

    • @JonasClark
      @JonasClark 5 лет назад +57

      @@mattikro I've collected old electrotherapy devices for a long time, though I've sold all but a few Violet Ray machines now. This machine wouldn't contain anything radioactive at all; it generates electric currents similar to microwaves through its two electrodes (or, other types of electrodes that lay directly on the patient could be plugged in). The only medical devices which contain radioactive elements are radiation therapy machines, which usually use cobalt-60 (though some generate radiation with an accelerator instead), and the cobalt-60 ones are always massive. They have a rotatable C-shaped arm, with one side having an enormous housing for the cobalt (and its shielding and the shutter to open and close) and the other having a big lead pad to stop the beam after it passes through the patient.
      Incidentally, I often see people talking about scrapping x-ray machines and being afraid of the radioactive stuff inside. X-rays are NEVER done with radioactive material. Even cobalt-60 machines don't use that to take x-rays. X-ray machines have always used a vacuum tube, which only generates radiation when the proper current is applied to the tube. In machines made after the 40s, both a small voltage for the filament and a high voltage for the target are necessary. The most dangerous things in an unplugged x-ray machine is the oil surrounding the transformer and/or x-ray tube, which might contain PCBs, and any lead shielding.
      When they first go into the x-ray room, there's what appears to be an old fluoroscope on the left in the back. Now THOSE things are freaky. Live X-ray on a fluorescent screen (which glows a terrifying neon green color) while the patient gets quite a bit more radiation than a film x-ray gives. I wish they'd gotten a close-up of it. Those, at least the type where the doctor sits in front of the screen, went out of use in the 60s. All people hear about these days are the fluoroscopic shoe-fitters (which were really only bad for the salesman who ran them all day) but the upright "thoracic fluoroscope" used to be in every doctor's office, and just about any minor thing would be cause for a quick exam with one!

I enjoy the pace you take, giving us time to take in what you are seeing. Those tiles were hand placed, first being glued onto fabric with water soluble glue face side down, and then pressed onto a prepared wall. Once the cement is dry, the fabric is soaked with water and removed, then the tiles are grouted. It is an old mosaic technique used to cover large areas.

      There's a modern equivalent of this, only the mesh is at the back of the tiles. I don't know the technique, but I'm pretty sure that these days they leave the mesh and cement/grout it in place. I'm not sure if they used these mats when they built our apartment building, 50-odd years ago, but all our bathrooms have mosaic tile floors and regular-size tile wainscoting and tub surrounds. The bathrooms a chilly in the summer, downright cold in winter, even though they're interior rooms not against outside walls. (The asylum's are prettier, though. Ours are earth tones.)

    In the UK these projecting things are known as Microfische, there used to be one in every library and you would have a selection of slides - yellow on blue always, and they would hold things like newspaper pages, or other factual records. They were super-reduced in size and you would have to move the slide around (it was in a kind of cartridge) and it would project in a readable size and backlit on the screen. Very cumbersome method of record storage.

    At 13:47 that is a microfiche viewing machine. Up to the early 1990's before personal computers, truckloads of transfiles would be sent out to be "filmed". A huge room, much like the rooms in this building would be filled with , say 100 women taking one piece of paper at a time from their own transfile and place the paper on a platform and take a picture of that piece of paper with an overhead film camera, and place the paper in another box, then repeat the process with another piece of paper from the transfile for the thousands of pieces of paper jammed in a transfile. The operation i saw used Hasselblad cameras, which were quite expensive, but obviously very robust to take so many thousands of pictures. Somehow, those pics were shrunk photogtaphically so that maybe 50 or 100 ( i forget how many) images would fit on one 6" x 6" microfiche negative. This machine would magnify and project the image onto the screen for review. I also forget how we knew which microfiche to look at to see the exact document we wanted to see (such as an old invoice) . Now we have an SD card that can hold a whole library on an object the size of a postage stamp🤯

    Wonderfully atmospheric building, so beautiful. I wish it could be frozen in its present state of decay, and kept that way.

    Fantastic abandonment! Hope it doesn't get trashed by vandals or demolished. Nice to see artifacts in situ and there would be some fascinating documents to read in that basement. That machine near the theatre light and chair is a short wave therapy machine, it applies high intensity radio waves via the round disk electrodes to part of a patient that needs treatment. Usually for deep tissue injuries or joint problems. Basically the same principle that a microwave oven uses microwaves to heat food. Keep up the great work, excellent documentation!

    At 26:10 it was used before computers were prevalent. Information was compiled and compacted to microfiche for access and archive as well. Used less space than files and paper documents and if cataloged correctly it made finding necessary information easier and stored in smaller space. I used this type of equipment in several jobs before computers made this method obsolete. You sure would get dizzy watching the files fly across the screen, sometimes even nauseating. It has a similar affect of trying to read in a moving vehicle traveling on a long curvy road.
