Tin is also known as the element with the most stable Isotopes, with a total of ten stable Isotopes

[@silviafox78]

not to be confused as the number 1 most stable isotope known.

[@tiggs7255]

So it's like the opposite of technetium, the element with no stable isotopes.

[@silviafox78]

The Guardian of Truth - actually there are possibly thousands of "achievable" elements through scientific experimentations and different nuclear fusion technologies... so you shouldn't really say it that way... rather say it like: "almost a quarter of the current publicly known elements on our periodic table have no known stable isotopes" Although recently we have been looking for ways to create "element 0" which has no protons but is instead made of neutrons and those types of creations could possibly help create stable isotopes of currently unstable artificially created elements... who knows what we could make :)

[@koenth2359]

no thats just a super dense cluster of neutrons, you would need to be able to create a stable nucleus comprised solely of neutrons

Actually, the most important use of tin is for making float sheet glass. Almost every window now made was created by floating a layer of molten glass on a pool of molten tin. When the glass cools, the sheets are then cut into manageable sizes and sent to window makers and glaziers.

[@anhedonianepiphany5588]

Quote: "the most important use of tin". Uh, _no!_ Had you said 'one of the most significant uses of tin', then I would be in complete agreement, but it's hardly the "most important" use of it, nor is it the only method for producing glass in this way.

Interesting that fact about the tin wiskers, didnt know about them. Maybe it could explain some sudden death cases in early "lead free" electronics.

[@theLuigiFan0007Productions]

@Laharl Krichevskoy It definitely has, and that's why medical, military and aerospace electronics are almost completely RoHS exempt. It's either leaded solder or special alloy solders containing indium (not cheap) in environments absolutely requiring high reliability (aka failure is NOT an option). One would not want shorts in a plane's main control systems or in a device potentially keeping someone alive at a hospital. Manufacturers have VERY high liability in those fields.

[@headbanger1428]

RoHS is a disguise for the electronics industry mafia. The amount of perfectly hackable or extractable hardware going into landfills made good business sense for them to come up with a scam to self destruct their goods. I know no all the semiconductors will die in a short or many shorts, but it will end the life of that consumer PoS! We all lose with RoHS. Tell your friends, and punch your politicians.

[@theLuigiFan0007Productions]

Yeah I personally have a STRONG disliking for the RoHS to say the least. Out of the substances they're trying to ban, I'm all in phasing out PCBs and PBBs, as they're incredibly toxic and carcinogenic and environmentally persistent. They're just plain evil and better, safer and cheaper alternatives are available. For transformers, mineral oil, vegetable oil and/or bromated vegetable oil (yes, BVO is still a bit evil, but not super evil). Pthalates are very good at making adhesives and plastics, I have some glue that contains dibutyl pthalate and MEK, and it's honestly the most useful stuff ever. Waterproof even before it's completely dried, cheap, and very strong. Some glues are actually banned in California because of those two ingredients, luckily I don't live there. I'm also against banning lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium because they do have their places. I'l start with hexavalent chromium: It's absolutely necessary to prepare surfaces for electroplating if you don't want the coating peeling off. Need I say more? Oh, not enough, eh? Well, I'l tell you that it's the first step in purifying ores of chromium, so without it, no more shiny corrosion resistant coatings. Also, since you banned cadmium, chromium has to replace it in some uses. What about mercury? Surely it's just a liquid of pure evil, right? Wrong. The best analog temperature and pressure measurement devices need some of the silver liquid to make them work, as well as super accurate levels and analog blood pressure meters. Fluorescent tubes and some neon tubes? Mercury. Good quality mechanical, silent or tilt switches? Mercury. Mercury switches can also handle a really decent amount of current for their size, because the contact is essentially a liquid, and they last VERY long. They even used to make "silent switch" light switches that had little vials of mercury in them. Need a weight or pendulum that has a properties of a liquid, but weighs more then steel? I think you know what to do. Fill it with the silver stuff! Cadmium? Well, there are still uses that need Ni-Cad batteries, although Ni-MH and Li-Ion are a much better replacements in most cases, you still need them now and then. Corrosion resistant steel parts? Cadmium plated. CdS light sensors? Well, cadmium is in the name. Unleaded pipe solder? Quite a bit of it contains cadmium. Bright red and yellow pigment based paints for art and ceramics? Cadmium oxides are used here. What about lead? Solder. Small size weights for use as counterweights. Radiation shielding. Lead acid batteries. Infra-red detectors? Lead. True bronze? Lead. Bullets and shot, of course, are usually lead. High voltage insulation contains lead to prevent water from absorbing into the PVC. Golden/goldenrod colored ceramic? Lead oxide glaze. Construction? Lead still has a few not so easily replaced uses as a fairly corrosion resistant, and cheap, sheet metal in roofing. Bearings? Lead copper alloys last longer and provide better lubrication properties. All that and I didn't even get into organic chemistry yet. I thing anyone could see the point. There are some uses where the cheapest, most effective, or best solution is going to be a "hazardous substance". The RoHS is doing more harm then good. And to be honest, I should stock up on leaded solder while I can, incase things get worse. Sorry for going on a rant, but, man I needed to say that.

[@therealjammit]

Lead free electronics specifically means they don't use a solder that contains lead. "Normal" solder contains tin and lead together. The lead not only changes the temperature the tin and lead melt at, it also prevents the tin from forming whiskers. Lead free solder replaces the lead (and keeps the tin) with something else (tin and silver solder is an example). This does work except the temperature both melt at is higher than tin/lead solder, the remaining tin/silver joint is harder and less flexible. This causes the silver/tin solder to crack more easily and the extra heat can weaken electronic components.

[@theLuigiFan0007Productions]

@Ollyweg 0 Yeah I understand. I guess I was thinking of ceramic for decorative purposes, not plates and other containers used for food. The cadmium plated steel parts are used in aircraft, they specifically use cadmium instead of zinc in lots of cases. I don't know exactly why though. Zinc is surely cheaper then cadmium, so there must be another reason. Like you said, if it's properly used and disposed of, it dosen't pose any significant risk.

Are you sure it's a disorder? If you understand Russian accent, but not American accent, you simply understand one accent better than another. I understand well Scottish accent because I originated from UK for example.

[@volka2199]

Dominic Bristow America has a very wide range of accents across the country and most high population areas have a high Spanish speaking minority, while not most, many Americans near the southern border even learn to speak Spanish while not having any ties to Mexican or other Hispanic ancestry. You claim Americans are ignorant idiots with your comment while actually being one yourself. The only Americans who complain about accents are the ones who never left their state or local region which is a minority of all Americans. Taking it a step further, if you live in a city or near one you have probably heard over a dozen foreign languages and the accents of those people while speaking english. If we couldn't understand a person with an Indian, Mexican, Russian or any other accent life would be very hard in such areas considering many shops and gas stations are owned by foreigners which you have to constantly interact with to make any sort of purchases.

ROHC doesn't apply to plumbing, and lead based solder was banned from plumbing use (in most places) long before it was banned from electronics manufacturing.

Abraham Guadalupe Cano Márquez Considering our language has spelling that makes little sense in some cases we tend to have an easy time spelling other languages because of spelling matching up more closely to the sound you are hearing. Doesnt mean we learn those languages(in most cases) but if we can identify the sound and the language has a simple spelling system(like spanish) we can most likely spell what we hear. Of course there is the issue that some languages use letters that we have but they make a different sound but once we learn those it is easy compared to english since those sounds are fairly constant unlike in english where an individual letter can have 2 or more ways of saying it within a word.

Maybe you should work with your SPELLING... You can't force someone whose english is their second language to perfectly speak to it..

[@martinsmithtimes637]

yes I work with on my spelling, and english is my second language too, I dont mind accent as long as I understand what is said.. nevertheless I do better then natives who understand even less. Thanks.

[@airb1976]

Martin SmithTimes. Do a video and we decide your spelling quality. I would say you have to improve your grammar (lirics 😃)

[@thekiwi8059]

@MrBadBricks no u

[@tomarsandbeyond]

I have auditory processing disorder so have trouble hearing what people say sometimes but this guy I can follow just fine.

[@wernerhiemer406]

But in opposite to Cody, NurdRage etc. he says "metal" and not "medal" which is for millitary or olympic achievements. Well mad of metal(alloys). And than theirs spoken ?saddel? which really is "subtle" I had to find out to have a word which makes sense in context. (german ears)

[@3p1ks]

I subbed after I found out he was Russian. Because I am too!

[@harmlymostless6925]

Wonderful video. Very educational. Thank you.

[@OscillatorCollective]

[@DiaGall]

5:14 - Spoiwo Lutownicze z topnikiem, it is in polish and it means Soldering iron with flux (or something like this, Im not expert :P ) and after this u can see coin with Marie Curie Skłodowska, polish scientist. So maybe he is polish ;)

[@kuskus_th13]

Lesoth21 Just because there is Polish on that image doesn't mean he's Polish. He is Russian. Check his main channel (Thoisoi)

[@fylkerzacheryandgec7650]

It was hard to understand but it was really descriptive and nice

[@galadriel4101]

This was really cool.
