Radioactive Items in a Household and Everyday Life
Radioactive Items in a Household and Everyday Life
In this video I demonstrate some radioactive items that are (or used to be) a part of our households or everyday life. For example, Fiesta Ware dishes, uranium glass, thorium lantern mantles, smoke detectors or radium watches. I use my 1962 military Geiger counter RBGT-62 and my homemade digital Geiger counter with an alpha sensitive (mica window) Geiger tube to measure the items.
Warning: Those items may be dangerous, especially when broken or opened!

Anybody smart enough to know how or if those plates and cups are actually dangerous with that level?
nice video, I loved it, but I also liked your self-built machine for the tadiazioni, you can kindly provide me the wiring diagram with the list of components?
Sobotka style
Hi maybe u selling one unit.love ur acent in videos.best greating from Lithuania
I was thinking that you are saying "ringen" but you was saing roentgen
I remember when I was a kid in 50’s and watched our alarm clock under the guilt. It looked so beautiful. And that explains why I am so bright. Hehehe. You have one sun glasses lens over the seven segment display. That’s good idea , must keep that in mind.
that was cool
Diode Gone Wild-Is it possible,that you show us the circuit diagram of you selfmade geiger counter? and also explain it?
That would be really great.
Nice! What models/calibers are those watches? I have quite a few radium watches; mostly Soviet watches with radium. It looks like you have 2 Маяк (Mayak) watches and a Победа (Pobeda) watch. If so, then I have that one with the black dial, with the white track that goes around (except at the 6 o’clock position). Also, those americium-241 sources are "sealed sources". They won’t come apart unless you really grind or file them up. The Am-241 is pressed between thin gold foil.
Bananas are slightly radioactive too. Maybe try measuring the emmision from a banana 😊
Taka otazocka, ak polozim na detektor koure, alebo do tesne blizkosti nej nejaky predmet, a ponecham ho tam delsi dobu, bude tenhle predmet pak take zdrojem radiace ? Ptam se, ponevac jsem mel na stole delsi dobu detektor a byl jsem liny vymenit baterii, a kolem jsem mel spoustu predmetu, napr i slunecni brile v tesne blizkosti…Nerad bych si dal zdroj nejaky radioaktivy na hlavu…dekuju za odpoved
Schematics of your diy radioactive detector ??
What unit are you using? Micro sieverts per hour?
i mean, its not like those items are Chernobyl reactor 4 hot, but still, not very healthy i guess…
Now go to Chernobyl with that thing and catch a catfish there. When you catch a catfish shove the probe up his ass and put the earphone to the microphone so we can hear just how much radioactive the fish is.
Hi, please write name and model this ckocks, thanks!
3,6 rontgen/hour not good but not terrilible
Gotta love radioactive smoke detectors! I have an old detector that has 13.4uCi of Americium 241.
😱
3 milli Roentgens per hour??? D:
Wear that watch 24/7 for 2 years and reach a mximum dose of radiation that you should receive in your whole life…
Ty musíš být čech 😀
They add uranium to Fiestaware to make it orange but add uranium to that jewellery and its green?!
I own a makeup brush from decades ago that contains radium. The packaging claims it had skin benefits lmao
Yes, I just made another video of radioactive items in my home👍
Careful…dangerooos !😁🇺🇸
Can you please give us a link to make that radio activity detector ??
Oleg Ayzon! Please! Arrive!
Eat a bit more garlic. That is good to fight with cancer that radiation can couse. Just a tip after this video.
What the hell did this freaking guy say? Can someone translate?
He died the next day of radioactive poisoning:-/
At 6:57 the cellular phone sounds it’s radiation! 😉⚡️📡
my surname is thorium because my father is thorium mining engineer.
What about a smart electrical meter?
normal radiation is 2 clicks per second, any higher – run away,
this guy is a cancer candidate handing all this stuff WITHOUT gloves … dude – good luck
It’s very low level radiation, not so dangerous
Best isotope, ²⁴¹Am.
These sources are nice, but not that dangerous at all here. Avoid ingesting any of it somehow, especially inhalation, like removing the radium paint. Nobody should worry about these. I have a collection of sources, and I look for the hottest sources I can find. I have almost 500 μCi of Am-241 alone. You won’t get radiation sickness from items like these. Dangerous would be in _roentgens._ Not microroentgens or milliroentgens per hour. That’s low level.
I Already Have A Geiger Counter And Uranium Glass And Radium Watch Hands And Americium-241 Source But Not Old Uranium Radioactive Fiestaware (New Fiestaware Does Not Have Uranium) Thorium Gas Lantern Or Welding Rods
Doesn’t the smoke detector that is radioactive accumulate the particles in the home. Can people breathe it? If you put paper in front of the detector do the particles still go off to the sides?
i love your accent <3

That’s a cool smoke alarm. Where did you get it?
It was black
Top!
Try the banana
Čech? Prízvuk :)))
What formula you use to convert counts per minute to uR/h?
Man im gonna get everything out of my house
For future reference, when you’re speaking in English, try to pronounce your words a little more clearly. I understand it’s not your first language, but you were a bit hard to understand in this interesting video.
Holy hell my fingers fell off
