    And actually at $2-20k its actually a lot cheaper than what I was expecting it to cost!

    "I want to see gold!!!"**hand shaking,thrilled**
    Moments later
    "It's a bit thin"**disappointed**

    This has to be one of my favorite videos around. It brings together The Professor, who is probably my favorite personality on UA-cam, with Max Whitby and Theodore Grey, whos website jump started my entire chemistry and element collecting hobbies. The excitement of the professor is just great to see, and I was just as excited watching along with him. Those periodic table displays are amazing and beautiful, a true blend of art and science! Thanks for making and sharing all these great videos.

    Bismuth naturally forms an extremely AWESOME crystal made almost entirely of right angles (google image it), and varies in color with the oxides that it develops with.
    I myself have a little bitty chunk that I got my hands on on holiday in the mountains one time. Gorgeous little metal it is. =)

  • @CrazyMrChris
    @CrazyMrChris 15 років тому +22

    @ravnoUK it's astatine, so rare and has such a short half-life there only ever exists approximately 0.16g of it anywhere on earth. Also, note his comment "if it was pure astatine, we wouldn't be standing here"

    @TheFaustianMan 15 років тому +12

    This is art! Really splendid. Thanks to Dr. Max.
    I just read an advertisement for a tawdry looking bracelet for $18,000. Thus, in reconcile, $20,000 for this is quite a steal.
    Shame they used a bit of gold leaf for Au. And producing white phosphorous for science in a small amount would not be so bad. It's not like scientists/enthusiasts are going to use it to drop on people like Israel.
    Beautifully shot by the way. You can see everything nice and clear. Great job! Cheers!

    @Cellogamer 15 років тому +2

    I love Theodore Gray. I have his periodic table, known as "The Elements" and I also have his book "The Elements, A Look at Every Known Atom in the Universe." Both filled with pictures of all the elements that can possibly have a large enough lump of to take a picture of (beyond Americium, It's a lot of pictures of seals, or people like Rutherford or Bohr.

  • @Draxis32
    @Draxis32 15 років тому +2

    I have to tell you, this is one my personal items I want to obtain in my life, almost all the elements that make our visible universe trapped safely confined into beautiful acrilic or glass pieces like that.
    That would be wonderful to add with addiction of some light.

    There was a guy who built a literal "periodic table" with samples of each element inside of it. He did fantastic work of it.

  • @525047
    @525047 15 років тому +1

    That's just a really cool wall. On that note I had someone ask me what Rhodium was because apparently they make pens out of in addition to gold/platinum. I just told them that it's so expensive, you've never heard of it.

    A pleasure to see. If I had one at home my cats would make a shambles of it daily. I suppose putting everything back every day would be as good a method as any to memorise the table.

  • @Dracopol
    @Dracopol 13 років тому

    It took HUNDREDS of years to work out that these pure elements were the irreducible components of ALL matter. Chemistry was amazing detective-work, learning the chemical properties of atoms too small to see, trying to deduce the pure form of the elements (for many hundreds of years, some metals were separated were really the oxides of those metals).

    Any chance of a video showing where they make these things?

  • @MrMartinhedin

  • @thebestofall007
    @thebestofall007 11 років тому +5

    I don't think you'd be able to keep francium because it's rare (as in only a few atoms of it exist at any one time), reactive/unstable, and radioactive.

  • @RaikouTatsu
    @RaikouTatsu 15 років тому

    glad to see Theodore Gray is still around making periodic tables

  • @Neamento
    @Neamento 14 років тому +1

    I noticed there was a space for Francium, but to my knowledge that's very difficult to get your hands on in a quantity that can be displayed. Do you know what it was replaced with, or whether it was infact there?

  • @Amiga96

    Quite entertaining, and it seem we will eventually see a live cast... NO-no, not a podcast nor a videocast, but an element-cast!

    @Roxy222uk 15 років тому +1

    I'm a big fan of Theodore Gray, and am delighted to see this video! How long will it take me to save up £2,000? I look forward to the videos taken at the lab watching osmium being melted (I don't know why this is a treat . . . yet)

  • @DaGizmoGuy

    That is Astatine, symbol At. It is a halogen below Iodine on the periodic table.

  • @Drag0nfoxx
    @Drag0nfoxx 13 років тому +2

    do they have one with the antimatter equivalents of the elements as well? I'd like to see that!

  • @307OLDS
    @307OLDS 11 років тому +9

    It would be awesome to have the elements in the shape of the Symbol... (Au, C, Pb, Os etc etc) Though, this would be very expensive I would think

  • @whoeveriam0iam14222

    those are normal glasses with some plastic added on the sides to make it as effective as normal safety glasses. he probably never takes the plastic off because he has to wear it a lot every day

  • @Ericspasstime
    @Ericspasstime 15 років тому +1

    there should be one in every school!!

  • @307OLDS
    @307OLDS 11 років тому

    Or have a piece of glass over each slot where the elements sit and on this glass have the symbol of the element lightly etched in the glass. Have it very lightly etched so you can easily see through it, almost like a ghost symbol. But.... it might take away from the clear awesome view of the beautiful elements.

  • @loserofnothing
    @loserofnothing 14 років тому +1

    @Neamento haha, it's illegal to display francium because it's radioactive and very hot, they probably put something else.

  • @Lavabug
    @Lavabug 15 років тому +1

    @XxTeamHazMatxX
    Its a halogen, probably more electronegative than the silicon in the glass on the Pauli scale, maybe it reduces the silicon dissolving the glass?

  • @weggles
    @weggles 15 років тому +1

    Yeah. The crystals it forms are crazy looking and strangely intricate. Almost like some ancient artifact.

  • @Squagnut
    @Squagnut 15 років тому +1

    Excellent stuff - Brady, I trust you'll be in the party that goes to visit Dr Max's lab?
    And thanks to Dr Max - it's quite refreshing to see a hands-on chemist who's trying to avoid making things go bang. The acrylic display boxes both look good and disply the element well, and I'd love to have a wall like that.

  • @ernesto00100
    @ernesto00100 15 років тому +1

    Many chemicals are scarce and hard to obtain. It's just a matter of supply and demand + the manufacturing.

  • @ensign_poo
    @ensign_poo 15 років тому +1

    That's is very cool. It's just too bad it's so expensive. In the futurefuture there will be holograms of all of the elements in order to keep the cost down.

    weren't you listening? when he was talking about astatine he said they used a form of uranium. i'm not sure about plutonium but uranium isn't very dangerous if its depleted, its just incredibly heavy and dense, so its still valuable

  • @TheMrTantalum
    @TheMrTantalum 13 років тому

    @Drag0nfoxx No they don't. It's extremely had to store anti matter becuase it annihilates when it comes nto contact with matter. The only way to store it is in a magnetic field, but the longest anyone has ever stored it is about 6 seconds I think.
