Now that's some radioactivity half-life. 19 quintillion years is a mind-blowing long time, which would be around the time the last red dwarf stars ever turn into tiny Helium white dwarf stars before fading into total darkness (approaching the heat death of the universe).

[@timothyo.1804]

I wonder how a bismuth "ferrofliud" would act.

[@jupiter_ios]

Not very much

[@steverodgers8035]

​@@jupiter_iosif you moved it closer it would react because the energy is coming from your arm to the magnet the magnets field is pushing on the bismith and the bismith should do it's thing

[@yashiroisana4177]

Well it wouldn't be a ferrofluid for some obvious reason

Bismuth will repel from magnets regardless of the charge? Hmm...

Wonder if diamagnatism has anything to do with the effects of bizmuth on the stomach, peto-bizmo

[@rippspeck]

Man, that's some impressive diamagnetism. Makes me wonder if there ever was a technical application of Bi considering this property.

[@loveitloud100]

its kinda the same principle as copper and magnets right? just not as much reaction.

[@robinjames7967]

maybe layer it with a magnetic metal with opposing poles at the 4nm scale?? maybe you can create a lighter material or even antigravity if you can safely apply charge to it? hm.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2rbdaaFoNeDiNE

[@KeithPhillips]

How about Moscovium (element 115) being "diagravitic?" (...antigravity?) 😎 It's right under bismuth on the periodic table... Check out Bob Lazar...

The raw bismuth looks like it would be hella radioactive.

[@WillB-lv1xg]

Do you think if something being repulsed like a bismuth plate was bolted to a base with all thread and an electromagnet was attached to the base would the whole apparatus go skyward? Most people think of a stationary base and something like a train being levitated above. Just wondering if the whole thing would go upwards or levitate including the base.

[@EliwazMoonites]

Wounder what happens if one could switch its antimagnetic properties around what would this do to the bismuth then?

[@armandoarmandonis9947]

It would become magnetic

[@brettkarling5671]

I want to know how strong that repelling force is and how strong it gets if you force the bismuth closer to the magnet. I wonder if it would increase the repelling force like 2 magnets against each other would.

[@brettkarling5671]

@sourand jaded Thank you for the reply. I guess that means it can't be used for a generator that was my thought process behind it. Love your photo by the way Nikola Tesla is my favorite person of all time. A true genius and amazing life story. Keep the research up and you could be like him someday!

[@hyparh]

It's not simple repelling... The force (either repelling or attracting) depends on the speed (and distance) you apply when approaching/moving away from the diamagnetic sample. You can visualize it like that - imagine that the magnet is surrounded by super-fine sticky substance. Stickier near the magnet. So, when you approach diamagnetic material, it "sticks" to that substance and this can simulate "attraction" and "repulsion" as you move the magnet forward/backward. The same effect is observed when using aluminum or copper instead of bismuth. Of course, this behavior is not applied to ferromagnetic objects, where we observe simple attraction.

[@inventor15]

At what temperature does it lose its diamagnetic properties

[@eggroll3055]

At least melting point.

[@brettkarling5671]

@@eggroll3055 The bismuth is this video was melted down to that cylinder and was still diamagnetic.

If we place gold behind bismuth ,will gold be detected with any great metal detector???

What an odd property, ive heard of bismuth but i cant remember where. Something to do with casting, an old use of the metal. You do collect some interesting things :-D

19 quintillions years of half-life means 1 nucleus falling apart every three days per gramm. And for 50-55 gramm tablet it means around three fissions per four hours. And even then it have to be on the surface to actually radiate. Going to take a while to measure that, isn't it?) By the way, is yout tablet covered with something or you just keep it somewhere dry? Most people just wouldn't recognise bismuth if it is not weird rectangular crystal, covered with rainbow of its own oxide.

[@DiodeGoneWild]

I just keep it in a dry place inside a fabric bag. It doesn't seem to oxidize. I have i for about 5 years and still no rainbow on it. It looks like lead.

[@glitzyx4x852]

DiodeGoneWild you have to heat it up to oxidize it

Can you make it levitate?

I plan to try to make it levitate (or levitate a tiny magnet over it).

[@jorgeluisochoamartinez5743]

Hello. I have a question. Suppose you have a 3meters(10 feet) x 3 meters(10 feet) magnetic table and you have bismuth metal powder in your hand. What would happen if you threw the bismuth powder in a horizontal way at an altitude of 12 inches(1 Foot) over the magnetic table? And how different would the experiment be if you threw sand instead of bismuth?

@@kitokofox Yup, and we get more radioactivity from normal everyday objects and especially from walls in our homes. Heck, we ourselves are probably more radioactive than bismuth is :)
