You know it's bad when even your Geiger counter screams out in pain.
yea haha
WOAH, That pseudoscience on those pedants scare me...
Here, hang this radiation source right over your thyroid gland!
this fuckin amulets give you ~16 mSv/a ... thats like working in a nuclear plant ^^
Same here. You think we would stop after Hiroshima but nah
imagine those poor pets wearing the radioactive pendants!
It reminds me of a case where it was discovered that a ordinary stapler was radioactive. It turns out that the company had filled the inside with sand to add weight to it and it was actually monazite containing sand, which has ThO2.
I feel like I got radiation poisoning from just watching this
well you did not because it takes 25,000 MR to get you sick
Kumatine me too
Steve so need some rad away only 60 caps
well, computers and smartphones also amit radiation.
tamaragaber Yeah, and you, and I, and everything in this universe, does too. It’s mostly in the long wave infrared spectrum for us due to blackbody radiation, and other parts of the spectrum for objects at different temperatures. In addition, almost everything is slightly radioactive due to naturally occurring radioisotopes such as potassium-40 and carbon-14.
I used to live in Aberdeen as a student. Because of all the granite buildings (it's known as the Granite city) the background gamma radiation is somewhere around 40% higher than the rest of the country.
"These are considered safe for food. Just avoid acidic foods and drinks"
Or just use a normal bowl where there is no "just avoid" attached on to it.
I hope you used some Rad-X before filming!
☭_DRINK_CCCP_420_☭ literally nobody cares
I don't know it it is really smart to make those radioactive lava samples pendant-shaped. Someone stupid enough might actually wear them.
Oscar Scheepstra people wear them to cure cancer... oh the irony...
kagi95
Well, so this is really cool! :D
Oscar Scheepstra alpha and beta particles are not harmful unless they are ingested or inhaled. these decays are almost always alpha or beta decay
+Physics Only the device measures hard beta and gamma... no alpha is detected
am I the only one that LOVES the sound of the geiger counter?
Damon Jackson ℵϙ ⅈ ĹⅈϏ℮ ⅈȶ ȶϙϙ
Nope. Geiger counter ASMR for life
Damon Jackson Definitely Not For Me I Like The Geiger Counter Sound

Your a very rare sort of Guy.
A credit to the intelligent and interesting aspects of human kind.
Thank you for your presentation, most enjoyable.
+Bill Stamford
Thank you for commenting! And you are a polite commenter - something rare here on the internet ;)
I find it funny that some people make a big deal over Brazil nuts when random stuff is more radioactive
4:10 I love how the geiger counter is already beeping in fear
You should have used bananas for comparison.
veritasium?
+M Isa Yeah.
Po Lu Nah, Veritasium is one of those scientific YT channels.
I had that exact same idea
Bananas are very Dangerous there Radiation is very Dangerous if a Man it's One He Becomes Gay and can't Make Baby's.
Before you mentioned it, I thought; "How the hell can people sell radioactive pendants?". Prefect example of greed, no matter what the cost to others!
I felt like I got cancer just by watching this.
+Forssa1 Our bodies produce around 5000 cancer cells in 1 minute, sleep on that.
+Dāvis Zaķis -- We are world cancer so it's like a pot and a kettle thing at this point.
Well, i am from saxony. why did you said it because it is in germany?
Forssa1 Only if you Smoke ! tjl
So if the pendant is dangerously radioactive, I can't see how keeping it right on your chest would be in any means safe..
A very engaging and beautifully narrated video. Thank you for sharing this stuff with us!
HOLY CRAP! I'm from Czech Republic.. and right now I'm like super scared to touch any rock in the nature here. 😄
Ja taky
Can’t find radioactive rocks in Ohio, Usa
Last year at our school we had to test some radioactive material, shit got scary when the gauger counter still counted around 1600 uSv/hour even when there was 6cm of leadplate between it and the source.(source itself counted over 3400 uSv/hour)
blackvalley007 Wow, what kind of school/university is that? Sources with that activity are to my knowledge not common among pupils :)
It's a school in holland called bernardinus, tough it was a yearly event of an university, since it is prohibited for a school to have such materials laying around.
blackvalley007 Ah OK, that makes sense to me. I would also be careful when handling sources with millisieverts/h :)
Holy shit, your school got a mini nuclear plant in a box? A LEAD box?
I could listen to that voice all day. So soothing.
Thanks :D
Man, i just LOVE your videos.
Thank god this came up in suggested videos, I couldn't help but keep watching race crashes.
Where do you store these "Radioactive Stuff" ?
In the refrigerator.
At his mother-in-laws house!
His mothers barn
in lead
In his pocket
"...it's tiny, but still has a larger, more sensitive geiger tube..."
.... That's what she said ...
Lool
Keep the videos coming my friend! I always enjoy your stuff!
Word has it that Keemstar emits 174991748293.29kGy/h of radiation.
WoW i didn't knew that MeeMStar can cause cancer o.o
Painis Cupcake It's true!
***** Sometimes I touch myself.
Ironic, everyone is so scared of radioactivity, they don't even realize they encounter radioactive objects in their daily lives.
You've just got to stop worrying and love the bomb, is what I say.
Oh and, what's that ominous music you used? I recognize it... S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?
Found the Children of Atom follower 🤣
Great video. Thanks for sharing and congrats on winning Bionerd's contest!
+Howard Price
Thanks for watching :)
Back in the days, where they made glass from Uran. Aside from having radioactive material embedded, those glasses are really nice to look at under UV light.
It's great to see you're making super-interesting videos again!
Who the hell sells radioactive necklaces!? D:
...and they don't even inform the buyers about it. They're sold as beneficial for your health. Even for your pet... Welcome to 2016 :)
Brainiac75 thanks
Brainiac75 throwback to the 1800's
Personally, I think anything below 100 microsieverts/hour is not dangerous if you only hold it for a few minutes or hours
And I'd quite happily wear that lavastone pendant, it's just like wearing a piece of granite
Richard Frank You'd have to absorb 126 days worth of radiation from it to die, but your body will heal itself before that. (from the 1.66 microseivents one)
Love the music you use for this, kind of has a dark feel to it. :)
As always a really interesting video. I have never seen one that I didn't like. Thank you for making, them very informative.
Thanks for watching :)
I was waiting for: "Warning! Hazardous radiation levels detected."
+pvc988 The warnings on the meter including "DANGEROUS BACKGROUND RADIATION" was clear enough to me.
Was that a Half Life reference ?
I was waiting for it to say "Get the fuck out!"
Subnautica?
+Friday Harlowe :)
I would love to hear what kinds of saftey precautions you take with storing and handling these samples? Is it not very necessary (I notice the bare hands). Is there any risk to repeated handling and or storing them near your for long periods?
You should wash your hands with soap after handling them. Uranium is about as chemically toxic as lead. Our bodies evolved with uranium in the environment and we're able to excrete it, but large amounts are still a concern. For the most part, besides avoiding contamination with dust, the two precautions are to keep it some distance away from where people spend considerable time (the radiation rate decays with the square of the distance), and to keep it in a well ventilated area (outside, basically) to avoid a radon build up indoors (radon is more of a risk because it gets inside the lungs). His collection is radioactive enough that he can probably detect it from several meters away. A "safe" distance is about when the dose rate falls below 1 µSv/hr. You can shorten the distance with shielding (basically, any mass), but it's not necessary when distance will do.
Another thing to keep in mind is that alot of radiation is stopped by our skin. So being near radioactive materials like this for a few minutes won't kill you. What's extremely dangerous is when radioactive materials are dispersed in air or water. If we were to breath or otherwise ingest radioactive materials we wouldn't have our skin to protect us
Liam8488 The skin only protects against alpha radiation. It does nothing to protect against beta or gamma radiation.
Mark Rose
Beta radiation isn't nearly as damaging relative to Gamma or Alpha as far as I understand.due to the radically lower mass of electrons. I think my point still stands that consumed radioactive materials are radically more dangerous than ones sitting on a table or something
A single flight from New York to Los Angeles exposes you to about 40µSv, so you could probably play with these samples every day without being in any danger.
Bionerd just signed your hat! Dude, that's so cool! I watched her videos about Chernobyl! She is a brave and great person!
Very cool video! Those samples sure beat anything I have!
your videos are always a treat
I have a question:
Since the counter detected dangerous amounts of radioactivity in some samples isnt it dangerous for your health too?
I live in Saxony, Ore Mountains from where you got the Pitchblende and in my town there are a lot of mines but they are all closed in cause of radioactive ores/materials.
"Estimated 200 grams of Uranium oxides" proceeds to hold in non-glove hand
Really interesting video! Definitely subscribing to your channel… Two questions: Can the SOEKS detector display counts per minute (CPM)? And also, what is the font you used for displaying the mineral’s names and formulas? It’s beautiful!
Thank you :)
No, the Soeks cannot display CPM. The Gamma-Scout can (CPS or accumulated counts in a given period).
The font is called Lao UI.
Could you perhaps put these figures into context in terms of how dangerous some of these items could potentially be?
That might explain why I felt nauseous for no reason (this only occurred a few times within a decade)
Touching things that we would not even think to be radioactive
Won't be the cause. Exposure to low/ moderate amounts of radiation produces no acute symptoms
i found this same Geiger counter on a forum from a man who goes to Chernobyl for his birthday, he used it for checking radiation in the areas he visited, so it was neat to see you using it as well knowing that the russian military who helped him into the zone also used it for visitors
+Brandon Fireking actually i believe its Ukrainian military, my bad
Naaah...My socks emit 500 000 millisieverts/hout
+VLOG e altra roba.... Wow. Can be used as a nuclear bomb.
Throw it to china
+VLOG e altra roba.... heh. you think YOURS are bad? i tested mine and they were 14,000,000,000,000 Microsieverts/hour!
+MCPE Manu_ Beh....Non so.Se vai a cercare "Bionerd" il tuo "standard" si alzerá.È incredibile quante radiazioni sopra la norma possiamo ricevere senza conseguenze.E poi quest i non sono materiali con radioattivitá seria.Se guardi il canale di Bionerd,ha trovato a Chernobyl un pezzetto di carburante del reattore esploso per terra,e se lo tiene in camera da letto,anche se supera il limite dei misuratori.
+VLOG e altra roba.... Bionerd la conosco eccome...è da un po che non si vede aveva fatto anche la scintigrafia...non gli sarà andate molto bene
A normal day in Braniac's life xD
This is great, very informative and fun - thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching :)
Another great video! Thanks for sharing!!! I'm gonna buy one of these radiation measurement things and check my dinnerware in case any stuff at my home is radioactive too. Those pendants and dinnerware sets should be clearly labeled as radioactive! It's kinda scary!!!
use Rad-x dude :)
that shit is real Nasa is working on it, but I think it works like rad-x and rad away
I need some stampaks because of this comment..
Scrolled down to find this!!
Where do you buy your mineral samples? Thanks for the video!
Would it surprise you, if it was the dark net?
Why do I feel radiated by just watching this video?
I am looking to buy a reliable Geiger counter because I live on top of a mass of hot granite and have several defunct thorium and uranium mines in the neighbourhood. I have been told that even our well water contains uranium and radon. The strange thing is that people around here also live to great old age.
How radioactive is that rock?
It says 320uSv/h but that's as high as the meter goes...
Ah! 320. Not great, not terrible.
its actually 720 microsieverts
i found in a later video
You’re delusional, it was obviously 3.6 Roentgens, get him out!
I’ll leave now
not good, not terrible
that pet collar...it just sets off ill feellings for me
I have collected and removed more than 600 lbs of pitchblende from my seven acre property. I live in Independence, Virginia. Pearisburg, VA is worse. I'm just glad that most of those rocks are directional.
What is the most radioactive thing in the body naturally?
+TheGamerOfSamness (Evarderp)
Potassium-40 has some hard gamma radiation. More info: hps.org/publicinformation/ate/faqs/faqradbods.html
Bananas have Potassium-40
A penis?(Maybe?)
You are funny. But no
what is the deadliest thing naturally in the body
THIS VIDEO SCARED THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME
Lore it's the background music
People tend to fear what they do now know about.
I know you said you wouldn't comment on how dangerous is too dangerous to have around, but you seem like the right person to ask. I'm really interested on this subject.
You should make a video where you test and show things that are radioactive or emit radiation that we may have or use on a daily basis. Like what you did with the dog tag and the set of dishes.
I live in the Czech Republic :)
Czech Republic for the win!
I'm just kidding.
Or not.
+Shadowhacker Yeah i live in most radioactive county propably :-D
+Shadowhacker Don't be mean to my neighbour country D:
jk dont take srsly
+Slahous já nevěděl že žiju v Černobylu 0.o
:-DD
+MichalH What is your neghbour country?
.... I just love your videos...great work man!
I wish I had the money for such an awesome element collection! :D
Thank you very much.
I wish I had the money for the last, very expensive elements not in my collection...
As dedicated as you are....you will get there.
And i will happily watch it when you present them to us ;)
How did you keep yourself safe from the Radiation? Or is it safe for linited periods of exposure?
How did you get that radioactive material 🇫🇮🇫🇮🍪
I bought it. Search eBay or dedicated mineral webshops :)
+Brainiac75 Okay :) Thank you for anwsering to my comment many big you tubers dont even read my comments so thank you :)
Could you provide a link?
What would happen if you put your radiation detector thing in a microwave and turned it on?
I'm also aware that radioactivity and microwaves aren't necessarily the same thing lol.
Borka223 im fairly certain it detects alpha too, but yea
johannes the stalking biscuit only if it has a mica window, thin enough to allow alpha particles in. I believe the SOEKS in this video does not have one.
Microwave radiation is non-ionizing so a geiger counter doesn't detect it. But it would probably fry/melt the electronics so don't do it :)
***** Yes, geiger counters are usually quite far from the full story unless you are measuring a Cesium-137 sample. I would get a higher reading if the samples were 'unpacked' and measured including alpha radiation. But with an energy-compensated scintillator I think most samples would score a lower reading.
This is great channel and I am glad to have stumbled upon it. It is right up there and hopefully you will be the next edition to Vihart, Vsauce, Veritasium and CPGGrey League.
Thank you very much! Spread the word ;)
This video made me wondering if the 33x45x5cm "Viscount White" granite slab underneath my record player is radioactive, and if, how much.
How do you store your radioactive samples?
+Marius Ammann behind Iron bars well that is what i would do
+Gandalf Bruh Lead bars at least
iron? defuq i talk lead yes iam sorry m888
Bars? You know it's not a prisoner right? It can go through the gap in the bars lmao. Surely a lead box would be better?
The fridge.
Who is watching this in 2016?
Nice video my fellow Dane ;)
Fed video! Glæder mig altid når jeg ser dine nye uploads :)
Sometimes I think of the episode of House MD where the kid was celebrating graduation but gets sick, turns out that his father works at a metal recycling place and found a neat looking thing that the kid kept on him at all time but it was some sort of radioactive stuff. Makes me think I should get a geiger counter to see if the stuff I buy from China or the local fleamarket has any amount of radiation to them.
Have you heard of the Goiânia accident? A nuclear core from an x ray machine found its way into a scrapyard in Brazil and one of the workers broke it open and shared the material with his family. It glowed in the dark and he didn't realize it was radioactive. By the time the material was addressed, it had contaminated 250 people and ultimately killed 4 of them (the man who brought home the material was a 5th death, but he drank himself to death). Very sad, very preventable.
nrml 0.11
how to commit a crime with radioactive shit.
1. Give your victim the lava rock pendent as a present.
2. AND BOOM CHECK IT OUT PRETTY AMAZING HEH?
This man wants to die
I love your videos :D. Subscribed!
+mustangxxi
Thank you! Welcome aboard :)
you have some very nice samples!
Nice and very interesting channel!
Excellent video!
uuuuuh Nice Collection... I love it! =)
I live in Mexico, roughtly 40km away from a "depleted" urarinite mine. It is rumored that the US and Mexican goverment had to close down the mine because of its proximity to a town (4 km) and an important river (less than 1km), not because the mine was completely "exhausted". The entrance of the mine is sealed off with big iron plates and it is not recommended to get close to this zone since small traces of urarinite can still be found at ground level. I never knew that said rock was so dangerous, and sometimes I went to explore there... lol
+james leet
Hehe, if I lived near a uranium mine I probably would be tempted to go there too. I would never go down into the mine though. To many risks - including insane concentrations of radon...
Your videos are awesome.
It has been another 3 years, make another one!
My question to you sir, why the hell you keep radioactive material in your home?
I like how the video starts ^^
I don't wanna be a wise guy, but should you were gloves? What safety precautions were made? I don't know where I would be without your videos. Your my main man
God i love learning about fascinating stuff.
Oh some of your samples are from czech republic. I am czech too :) your videos are awesome :3 and your voice is so cool :) i am happy that I found you on youtube. :)
Hey I'm new to these types of videos and I'm curious how much radiation would be a lethal dose, or how much would actually affect you?
I guess if those are gamma ray detectors you could get a bit more information on those too-hot-to-measure samples by seeing how close the detectors can get before they max out.
I would not be wearing that pendant around my neck and would he a hard pass on the ceramic bowls too. I would be worried just keeping those red hot rocks around my house.
Do they give off heat, more so than just a normal river rock?
Those "pitchblende rocks", are those common on mountains or just a decorative stuff in a garden.
Another Great Video ! And your Great Collection is now better ! Have a GMC-300E Plus from Seattle and the CDV-700 6B from Cleveland, Ohio that are G-M Counters ! Also "Antiprotons" has a great collection of samples and Counters ! But you both should do a video on "Monster Magnet meets Radioactive Samples" ! Have been to the Trinity Site and met a lot of visitors to the Site with Radiant personalities ! Also visited the burial site of CP-2 and CP-3 ! (Near Chicago, Illinois/Red Gate Woods and managed by a person from Italy !) Thank you for the video ! tjl
Monster Magnet meets Radioactive Samples in a Cloud Chamber ! tjl
The uranyl acetate struck me. I was not aware soluble uranium compounds were available for purchase.
***** Labs are definitely going to have it, sure, but it seems like he got it as a private buyer, which is what made me curious. I've been trying to synthesize uranyl nitrate for display over an ultraviolet LED, but struggling to isolate the uranyl.
why the gammascout jumps to zero at the 320µsv piece? (at 10:10) thats not normal, its not too much for that device (when its too much it shows "overflow")
maybe there is something wrong with the tube voltage regulation, it needs to rise the voltage at higher counts
A house 2 houses away from me and my family's house was another victim of lice. It was just tinted and is now finished but still has tons of chemicals near it. Our friend who lives in the house right in front of the lice house said that she can still smell some of the chemicals outside every time she opens a window in their house. How radioactive do you think the house and the area surrounding it is???
thank you for video. I think i will be buying detector to measure in what i make food, and in what i eat.
So as most of these came under "Dangerous Radiation" levels, where do you store them? Away from your house?
+Ben J
Alpha radiation is stopped by only a sheet of paper and has a range of only a few centimetres in air. Beta radiation is a bit stronger, so maybe some of the samples are in a lead box.
Uranium fever has gone and got me down
nice collection
Thanks for watching. Hope to get a scintillation counter in the future so I can make more interesting videos about radioactivity.
Great video ! Other samples to add to your collection are the sensor from an old smoke alarm, welding rod with 2% thorium and maybe old glow in the dark clocks or instruments from pre WW II or The Great War to end all wars... Have you been to the Trinity Site ? And 2015 was the 70th year with a big turn out in the Spring Open House. Used to play at the old Argonne site where CP-2 and CP-3 are buried. CP-3 was the First Working Heavy Water Reactor ! The German design was to small and needed to be three times larger to work. And think that a young woman from Poland started all the work on radiation and was the first woman professor and taught at a French University. Thank you, tjl
