I'm a Boro-silicate laboratory glass blower. I've worked with custom uranium glass before. The trick to keep your specimens from shattering is a technique known as annealing. To accomplish this, you would want 2 separate furnaces. One for melting and the other for annieline. Place your graphite block in the aneeling furnace at about eleven hundred degrees fahrenheit. Open the door once the block and the furnace is preheated. place your spasiman On your graph light block at eleven hundred degrees for at lea half an hour. then Slowly reduce the temperature of your aneeling furnace without opening the door. Over the course of twenty four hours And till your sample is near room temperature And you should not have any internal stress anymore This process aligns the internal crystalline structure of the silica Transforming it into a stress free homogeneous mass. You will want to reduce the temperature on an inverted J curve slowly at first. But once you get past about 400° fahrenheit leaving the door closed u till it has completely cooled you should be fine - James
@@pressaltf4forfreevbucks179 Not exactly. As the OP said, the proper way to anneal glass is to place it in the oven and let the oven cool down over time in controlled steps. Most of my friends who have taken glass lampworking more seriously than I did have ovens specifically meant for this process. He's trying to make borosilicate glass (think Pyrex), but I'm puzzled since he's not using aluminum oxide in the mix as is typical from what I understand. The omission may be intentional, but it also may be in part why such small pieces were so sensitive.

I know it's quite fun, but actually, the radiaton from the glass is so small, that you can drink from it couple times, and it will cause no problem. It will be better to use normal glass to drink most of the time, but if you want to, you can drink from uranium glass for a little while without actually causing any kind of damage to your body. P.S.

@@Zuion_Art still it's just... UA-cam comment section is not the place, do discord or something. I have nothing against furries but once again, you should leave this stuff to when in "private"
I know three local blowers who have screwed around with uranium glass. Al Young in Detroit probably did the most. He melted a few pots of it, at a much higher concentration than you used, and drew out bars of the colored glass. John Fitzpatrick in Ferndale got his hands on a couple of those bars. You can break a chunk off a bar, pick it up on the end of your blowpipe, and blow through it. Windy Dankoff ran pots of it at a more normal concentration and gathered it for paperweights. I have some of his.
"When it's dry like this though, it has a tendency to give off dust and powder which is obviously horrible to breath in." *Shakes container without a cap*
The sodium diuranate didn't fluoresce and I was concerned that maybe the glass was blocking the blacklight. I went back and tested it on its own though, and it definitely doesn't fluoresce. m.imgur.com/a/e7YOpH9 Also, it has been pointed out that my reading of micro sieverts wasn't very accurate. This is because the counter can't actually differentiate between alpha/beta/gamma and it instead uses math to approximate things. This is only accurate to what it was calibrated to, and for uranium, it won't give a very accurate reading. I figured it was still better than just CPM, but I should have added that it's also not very accurate. My reading here is probably higher than it should be and the danger is being overestimated.
Im assuming you know basic radcon, but definitely make sure you dont injest or inhale the uranium. And take through surveys of your workstation after your done. -radcon worker
"This stuff tends to let off dust particles when dry." - Re-pressurizes a vacuum container with it (likely setting off a small cloud of it) - Agitates the solids inside the flask BEFORE closing it...
Should be handled in a glove box. I also want to know the efficiency of his inexpensive GM meter. GM meters have very low efficiencies so 200 cpm may actually only represent way less than 1% of the actual radiation field.
@@galenicalhoover6508/videos Agreed. UA-camrs like Cody and Nile need to buy better meters when working with these materials. And in response to Nick Schwartz, the number of atoms in a speck of dust can range from a few hundred thousand to many trillions or more. Imagine stirring up a small cloud of airborne uranium from these samples without a fume hood or adequate mask (surgical masks don't cut it), and then consider the entire lifetime of every element in the uranium decay chain, and where each gets stored in the body. I've been looking for a reason why Nevada has such a low life expectancy, not sure if I've found it here lol. I emplore you reconsider the dangers of working with these materials. Us humans don't get to pick which parts of our DNA gets hit with a cannonball of a helium nuclei, nor do we have the genetic defenses to sufficiently cope with that damage. Its not like any major universities are encouraging their teams to create a vaccine for human cancer. P.S. I am all for nuclear power (provided, waste is kept out of weapons of mass dispersal used by the military [bullets,sabots,missiles]) - fission, fusion, and quark annihilation methods, even cold fusion if its real. But, you have to respect it, because it can wreak havoc 50 years after exposure. Heavy elements are not all too different from fossil fuels, renewables, or any other source of power like corn or beef. All of our heavy elements were created by storing some energy from merging neutron stars, imploding supergiants, etc. It is essentially stored solar power in a dense form. All of our fossil fuels were by extension just plants and algae that stored the light energy from our very own nuclear fireball, the sun, and used it to excite chemical reactions that bonded together organic molecules into long chains. Its all very poetic.
So im just going to drop my 2 cents here. For some background I was a CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiation, Nuclear) subject matter expert in the Air Force. The installation I was stationed at made the focus of my experience within the field centered around the Nuclear and Radiological aspect. I was curious if I missed it, or if you simply omitted wearing a protective mask whenever you were around the materials? The primary reason being the particulates of alpha and beta radiation. Its the same reason I would never drink from a glass made using uranium or any other radioactive material. Alpha particulates can be stopped by paper or skin, beta by tightly woven fabric, and Gamma rays only through time, distance, and shielding. Most people with working common knowledge of radiation tend to focus on the danger of Gamma. However within my field, we actually consider alpha to be the most dangerous form. The primary reason for this is that Gamma simply passes through your body. However, beta can and alpha does get trapped within your body upon ingestion or inhalation. This causes it to simply bounce around inside of your systems with no means of escape, continuously bombarding the vulnerable organs within your body with radiation. These particulates can be excised through ingesting compounds that bonds to the particulates, but that is something that specialized medical staff would deal with so my knowledge on that subject more general then on the matter of radiation in general. I hope you stayed safe and I would warn anyone away from being around materials that release anything above normal background levels of radiation without proper PPE.
@@lucyk8935 yes this is true, but I also was wondering about the use of a respirator or some kind of mask. Nigel is really good, but it is always possible for really good people to make mistakes. I do hope that next time he works with uranium or other radioactive materials he does use a mask as well.
Well, yes and no. I cannot agree more about dust particles, they can be dangerous, while alpha "radiation" (not true radiation actually, due to it's particle nature) it self, not so much. It won't bounce inside your organism as you said, because it will quickly become absorbed by nearby tissue. Problem is that dust particle, which will sit there and will be constantly producing another and another alpha particles. It will literally act like a source. Drinking from uranium glass is safe. First, it emits next to none radiation, very similar to natural background. Second, if it would emit any alpha praticles, they would be imediately absorbed by liquid inside the cup and would not find the way in your organism. About how dangerous are specific types of radiation, again, it deppends on circumstances and it is simply cannot be said that "this one" is the worst. It deppends on what you consider as actuall danger, it's ability to travel over distances and penetrate materials, or it's actuall effects. Gama radiation is most capable of all 3 to travel and penetrate, as you said. While alpha can be very easily shielded, but can cause most damage when somehow gets inside your body, again, as you said. But not because it will bounce around, but because it has strongest ionization potential. So gama is considered by many people if you get exposed to some external source of radiation, because it will get most easily inside you. While alpha is most dangerous when you inhale or digest radioactive material - like dust for example - because it will become internal source of radiation, and there will be nothing in it's way to shield it.
"When it's dry like this though, it has a tendency to give out dust and powder, which is obviously really horrible to breathe in". *Says while shacking it violently which could break it up and release dust*
The mother of an old school friend of mine had a large collection of uranium glassware. She kept the glass in a locked leaded glass display cabinet with and alarm system.The artwork was very beautiful, I believe the collection was quite valuable, most was a light green.
I like Uranium Glass too - it's very pretty. But I wouldn't bother with the leaded glass cabinet - normal glass would be perfectly adequate for the Beta and Alpha rays, and hundreds of kg of leaded glass would be inadequate to absorb the Gamma radiation. Check if the glass *really* is lead-rich. The lead *strip* used to hold plain glass panes together is radiologically useless - and that is the normal meaning of "leaded glass".
I collect uranium glass and putting it in a lead cabinet is overkill and unnecessary. People would and still do eat and drink off them. They're not gonna kill you.

I know it's quite fun, but actually, the radiaton from the glass is so small, that you can drink from it couple times, and it will cause no problem.

Have a bunch of this stuff around my house. We always buy uranium glass anything at garage sales and antique stores when we see it.
The sodium diuranate didn't fluoresce and I was concerned that maybe the glass was blocking the blacklight. I went back and tested it on its own though, and it definitely doesn't fluoresce.
m.imgur.com/a/e7YOpH9
Also, it has been pointed out that my reading of micro sieverts wasn't very accurate. This is because the counter can't actually differentiate between alpha/beta/gamma and it instead uses math to approximate things. This is only accurate to what it was calibrated to, and for uranium, it won't give a very accurate reading. I figured it was still better than just CPM, but I should have added that it's also not very accurate. My reading here is probably higher than it should be and the danger is being overestimated.
I was just about to ask if you tried without glass. Good work.

@@galenicalhoover6508/videos Agreed. UA-camrs like Cody and Nile need to buy better meters when working with these materials. And in response to Nick Schwartz, the number of atoms in a speck of dust can range from a few hundred thousand to many trillions or more. Imagine stirring up a small cloud of airborne uranium from these samples without a fume hood or adequate mask (surgical masks don't cut it), and then consider the entire lifetime of every element in the uranium decay chain, and where each gets stored in the body. I've been looking for a reason why Nevada has such a low life expectancy, not sure if I've found it here lol.
I emplore you reconsider the dangers of working with these materials. Us humans don't get to pick which parts of our DNA gets hit with a cannonball of a helium nuclei, nor do we have the genetic defenses to sufficiently cope with that damage. Its not like any major universities are encouraging their teams to create a vaccine for human cancer.
P.S. I am all for nuclear power (provided, waste is kept out of weapons of mass dispersal used by the military [bullets,sabots,missiles]) - fission, fusion, and quark annihilation methods, even cold fusion if its real. But, you have to respect it, because it can wreak havoc 50 years after exposure.
Heavy elements are not all too different from fossil fuels, renewables, or any other source of power like corn or beef. All of our heavy elements were created by storing some energy from merging neutron stars, imploding supergiants, etc. It is essentially stored solar power in a dense form. All of our fossil fuels were by extension just plants and algae that stored the light energy from our very own nuclear fireball, the sun, and used it to excite chemical reactions that bonded together organic molecules into long chains. Its all very poetic.

So im just going to drop my 2 cents here. For some background I was a CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiation, Nuclear) subject matter expert in the Air Force. The installation I was stationed at made the focus of my experience within the field centered around the Nuclear and Radiological aspect.
I was curious if I missed it, or if you simply omitted wearing a protective mask whenever you were around the materials? The primary reason being the particulates of alpha and beta radiation. Its the same reason I would never drink from a glass made using uranium or any other radioactive material.
Alpha particulates can be stopped by paper or skin, beta by tightly woven fabric, and Gamma rays only through time, distance, and shielding. Most people with working common knowledge of radiation tend to focus on the danger of Gamma. However within my field, we actually consider alpha to be the most dangerous form.
The primary reason for this is that Gamma simply passes through your body. However, beta can and alpha does get trapped within your body upon ingestion or inhalation. This causes it to simply bounce around inside of your systems with no means of escape, continuously bombarding the vulnerable organs within your body with radiation.
These particulates can be excised through ingesting compounds that bonds to the particulates, but that is something that specialized medical staff would deal with so my knowledge on that subject more general then on the matter of radiation in general.
I hope you stayed safe and I would warn anyone away from being around materials that release anything above normal background levels of radiation without proper PPE.
The guys who runs this channel is very good about following safety precaution, so I'm sure he did. :) He is a trained professional, after all
@@lucyk8935 yes this is true, but I also was wondering about the use of a respirator or some kind of mask. Nigel is really good, but it is always possible for really good people to make mistakes. I do hope that next time he works with uranium or other radioactive materials he does use a mask as well.
I'm pretty sure he did and goes more into detail in his cleaning up video.
He has been wearing a mask. Like,
Well, yes and no. I cannot agree more about dust particles, they can be dangerous, while alpha "radiation" (not true radiation actually, due to it's particle nature) it self, not so much. It won't bounce inside your organism as you said, because it will quickly become absorbed by nearby tissue. Problem is that dust particle, which will sit there and will be constantly producing another and another alpha particles. It will literally act like a source.
Drinking from uranium glass is safe. First, it emits next to none radiation, very similar to natural background. Second, if it would emit any alpha praticles, they would be imediately absorbed by liquid inside the cup and would not find the way in your organism.
About how dangerous are specific types of radiation, again, it deppends on circumstances and it is simply cannot be said that "this one" is the worst. It deppends on what you consider as actuall danger, it's ability to travel over distances and penetrate materials, or it's actuall effects.
Gama radiation is most capable of all 3 to travel and penetrate, as you said. While alpha can be very easily shielded, but can cause most damage when somehow gets inside your body, again, as you said. But not because it will bounce around, but because it has strongest ionization potential. So gama is considered by many people if you get exposed to some external source of radiation, because it will get most easily inside you. While alpha is most dangerous when you inhale or digest radioactive material - like dust for example - because it will become internal source of radiation, and there will be nothing in it's way to shield it.

The mother of an old school friend of mine had a large collection of uranium glassware. She kept the glass in a locked leaded glass display cabinet with and alarm system.The artwork was very beautiful, I believe the collection was quite valuable, most was a light green.
I like Uranium Glass too - it's very pretty.
But I wouldn't bother with the leaded glass cabinet - normal glass would be perfectly adequate for the Beta and Alpha rays, and hundreds of kg of leaded glass would be inadequate to absorb the Gamma radiation.
Check if the glass *really* is lead-rich. The lead *strip* used to hold plain glass panes together is radiologically useless - and that is the normal meaning of "leaded glass".
I collect uranium glass and putting it in a lead cabinet is overkill and unnecessary. People would and still do eat and drink off them. They're not gonna kill you.
