The KZbin algorithm brought me here and I wanna say this is a super cool video. I’ll never need to know anything about elements in my adult life, but obviously you’re passionate about them and that’s what made the video. Good stuff man!

Thank you so much. It’s nice to know the video is engaging to an audience outside just hardcore chemistry nerds like me.

Wildly fascinating. Thank you for sharing your collection with us.

Smoke detectors have the only element higher than uranium on the periodic table in case you want another element sample

@skippitysmithsonshorts 10 ай бұрын

metal detectors have californium(98) smoke detectors have americium(95)

@foocland57273 do you have a geiger counter and a metal detector If so, please let me know if it's radioactive

@@The-One-and-Only100 of course it is radioactive. Mostly alpha decay for americium. californium is used to produce neutrons for metal detection but this devices are rare and expensive, nothing you can buy in a normal store, ONLY used in industrial exploration of mines. So, the "normal" metal detector uses magnetic fields. No problem at all. PS: elements with alpha decay like americium are very good to poison your neighbours, like polonium.

@Asmodis4 As a law-abiding hobbyist, it's bad to do that (1 uCi of americium internal dose is 1 full seivert) also no metal detector has californium only some nuclear density gauges have them (not telling where to find them due to the concerning remark about americium and polonium) And everyone and their mother knows metal detectors use an electromagnetic field to detect metal it's physics 101 Also gamma only readings on geiger counters are unreliable (a scintillation detector is required, and the amount of gamma from a 1 uCi button is shocking but not too shocking)

I'm glad this channel appeared. This looks like a neat accomplishment. I am curious -are you collecting other things like these, especially now this collection is complete? ❤

@WilliamMcMahan-eb9zc 6 ай бұрын

Me and two other friends have been trying to collect them all, its awesome that someone has done it

Great video! You probably already know this but your smoke detector contains Americium-241 and therefore a few atoms of it's decay products at any given time. It probably is against the spirit of your collection but by just throwing a detector in the box you can also cross Americium, Neptunium, Protactinium, Francium, Radon and sometimes Astatine off the list :)

Like the casual reference to Tesla Coil. Every home should have one.

awesome video ... where did you get those ampules of noble gasses?

@Curiosity_lab Жыл бұрын

I got them as a set from AliExpress. Wouldn’t normally buy elements from China but as Nobel gasses can be checked with a Tesla coil I was confident they are genuine.

You can get a rather safe sample of technetium, costs about 400 bucks though...

Selenium is either a semi or non metal, but not a heavy metal. Also dont store gallium in glass cause it can break it when it freezes.

@Curiosity_lab 7 ай бұрын

In chemistry selenium is often included as a heavy metal due to its to roxicity similar to it's neighboring metalliods arsenic and antimony

8:52 i have a slime where it says it contains this _element_ and apparently _it's_ known to the state of california to cause cancer and birth defects or any other reproductive harm Hope this helps a little bit (im not from California that's why i mentionned the slime)

@Curiosity_lab 7 ай бұрын

Isn’t it a meme that everything is labeled known to cause cancer in California because of their labelling laws mean anything that comes into contact with chemicals during manufacture has to be labeled like it.

Why didn't you put the bromine into the ampule, i saw people doing that, is it too much of a danger?

How do you get radium & uranium from? I thought it is radioactive. Is thorium in your collection?

@The-One-and-Only100 Жыл бұрын

Uranium glass and radium watch hands are easy to get. Also, thorium was used up until the 90s in lantern mantles, and there's other items that were made with radioactive elements that I made a few shorts about in case you want to learn more

@@The-One-and-Only100 where to find to shorts? How do you protect yourself from radiation?

@The-One-and-Only100 Жыл бұрын

@sohkaryong5605 well to protect yourself personally living a normal life is fine but if you want to protect yourself you could buy a geiger counter so you know your being exposed and if you really are worried you could by a lead vest but it's overkill so I don't recommend it unless you collect radioactive materials and items but no need to try to protect yourself since it doesn't matter much unless you collect items or if your in close proximity to radioactive materials

@The-One-and-Only100 Жыл бұрын

@sohkaryong5605 also just go to my channel and look at my radioactive playlist for some examples of things that are radioactive and I'm working on more videos to educate the public on the topic so share with people that might be curious about it
