Plus they JUST had a dev stream showing previews from the new update coming soon. Great video btw! Edit: So about that radium vibrator...

You should do one about a plan to use bats to burn Japan in WWII in serious it actually the plan.

Hey! I love to say hello with an High explosive ballistic capped 88mm shell. You cant stop me.

That manual the set came with its really helpful

They don't make them like they used to

In the 1950s they felt kids should learn real world concepts. Real world things are dangerous, and it was up to the parents to teach their children to respect dangerous things. Wasn't until around the 1980s-1990s that western society decided that children needed to be protected from the real world. As such we've had two generations be blind sided by the real world, the dangers therein, and as such... well... everyone can see how that has worked out.

@@thalastianjorus That's...not the same, like, at all. Had parents back then, had any knowledge on what radition can do to the human body, no kids would be let near any of these chemistry sets, unless the parents deliberately wanted to be cruel to the young ones. Or if you think it is ok for little Joe to grow up sterile.

And now dynamite is unstable compared to just about every other explosive available. Progress always makes things obsolete.

​@@metarcee2483 it's more that the longer you have dynamite laying around it grows more cantankerous an temperamental. It's only particularly stable and safe to handle for a period after it's produced, someone finds an old stick sneezes and it explodes.

"For every mile of track laid, one Chinese man died."

Speaking of Nitroglycerin, its sad that many immigrant workers across north america died building the railroads of the US and Canada... especially with tunneling through the Rockies which black powder barely made a dent on granite.

Same here! It took me a second, but BlueJay never disappoints

How much is that in bananas or Toyota Corollas?

@@faenethlorhalien 30,000 bananas from my calculations

@@ishaangill717 I probably messed up somewhere but I got ~1,022,857,142 bananas assuming that every gumball is 1 inch, and dividing 7,160,000,000 by 7 inches which is the average banana length.

Its actually around 9.5 billion

We all played with mercury as children. I still have a bottle of mercury in my shop, maybe 1/2 lb of it.

The tables and surfaces in my chemistry classes were made of black asbestos. Good stuff, durable, difficult to damage, impervious to fire.

Tbf, mercury is cool AF.

My science teacher had to krazy glue his vial of mercury because students wouldn't stop pouring it out and playing with it so I think people just like playing with mercury.

@@MrShifty1 I can't blame them. Shiny and it moves funny? What child could resist?

Seems so.

Science is returning to youtube

I'll bet Bluejay worked extra hard to get these videos out faster since Sam O'Nella's return will probably bring more interest to his similar type of videos.

Yeah, I didn't know how to feel when I first came across his story; it was kinda surreal for me...

Well, when you compare it to multiple ground level nuclear explosions and filling entire food chains with fission products it really doesn't seem too bad.

The funny part was that he was barely a teenager and bulk ordering thousands of smoke detectors and nobody seemed to think that was weird.

Yeah, fucker tried to create another reactor 10 years later by stealing a bunch of smoke alarms. His face was full of radiation sores too

@@alexsis1778 your average American often struggles to put two and two together, they’re used to their government telling them what to think. Plus if you’re making a quick Buck, who cares? That’s the American way

​@@Notcleverenoughnah huh

EDIT: I miss remembered the statistic that was my fault for not checking my information. From Wikipedia the entire energy from a launch “is equal to the detonation of a typical 10 megaton (40 petajoule) nuclear weapon as an air burst” or 1/19 of all fission yield from above ground weapons. I also could have been more clear that I didn’t mean to claim anything about deaths or pollution. In retrospect my comment looks more like I dislike the project, instead I just wanted to highlight how wild of an idea Orion is and how much more lax regulations were back then. Nuclear applications for space exploration is actually my favorite topic, and I’m embarrassed I missed that Orion statistic. (Here is the original comment for context) Not to mention it was meant to takeoff from atmosphere, releasing more radiation then all in air nuclear tests combined… per launch!

@@nathanj202 which is insane, imagine seeing hundreds of tiny nukes falling out of the sky

@@nathanj202 That’s incorrect. Firstly, radiation itself isn’t what causes the deaths most of the time. It’s fallout. And secondly, it would cause 1 death per launch at most. Using rockets to lift it above the ground and then detonating the nukes mid air would not realize fallout and basically remove this problem.

I love project Orion.

@@nathanj202 Yah no, NASA actually did the calculations and they came to no where near what you are spouting. In fact Orion pollutes less than conventional rockets to lift the same amount of mass.

I thought a firefly ended him

Dw he mightve never found out

He's still not the most irradiated man.

Sounds like a fun guy

His brain tumors fractured his skull from the inside out, and he was still alive?? Is there a source for this?

@@codymoe4986 Not the OP, but this happened because radiation weakens your bones. That's also why his jaw fell off. So your assumption that this would be impossible with a normal skull is correct, but his skull (and all of his bones) no longer had any strength.

Real

Redeemed himself from what? It wasnt his fault what his invention was used for.

@@xenn4985 *Discovers fission* , Fission is used for atomic bombs. refuses to elaborate. leaves

@@henriqueferreira5165 I think the funniest part is that you could use atomic bombs productively, for many purposes. An explosive isn't a weapon, its just an explosive.

@@xenn4985 what, how? even ignoring radiation and the fallout, they would just be tnt on steroids.

@@henriqueferreira5165 You do know that fallout isn't a thing with modern nukes, right? Modern nukes are very clean, you actually have to try to make a modern nuke produce fallout and lasting radiation. Anyways, you answered the question yourself. Where tnt would fall short, nuke would not. Anything from geological applications to space applications. All a hydrogen bomb really is, is a crude fusion device.

I saw a video about that. One of the ladies was having a tooth pulled and her whole jaw came off. Bet the dentist had some nightmares after that. They also would slightly glow in the dark, making them popular at parties.

Yeah, they were even specifically told to use their lips or tongue to sharpen the brushes as it would save time and material over using other safer methods. "Lip, Dip, Paint" was the motto. Since it was "safe" for fun they'd paint their nails, teeth and face with radium or take a night on the town with their glowing "lipstick", "Nail Polish", and "Face paint" which made them very popular and was considerd a perk of the job. So everywhere they went, all the the people they danced with, the husband and kids they went home to, etc were also contaminated. And of course, inhalation and ingestion are the worst ways to be exposed ro radiation. Your body can handle a little bit here and there, we all know about getting an X-Ray, etc. But when you inhale or ingest a radioactive or contaminated substance that source is inside your body the whole time, even getting absorbed by it depending on the isotope. And these girls were painting their mouths with it, taking lunch breaks with their hands and lips covered in it, breathing in dried paint dust, etc. Of course everyone says "Trust your doctor" these days, but forget why so many are distrusting. In this case for some time doctors, dentists, and researchers complied with requests from the company's to not release their data. Instead after numerous illnesses and deaths, at the urging of these companies doctors instead attributed these to the well known STD Syphilis to smear the reputation of the Radium girls. Girls in other Radium factories in other states would eventually see the newspaper headlines and after confronting employers be told "Radium is safe, those girls were suffering from a viral infection". While the U.S. Radium case happened in New Jeresy in 1928, In Illinois the case against Radium Dial (different company) wasn't filed until the mid 30's and wasn't finished until 1939. They had to face numerous appeals all the way up until the Supreme Court declined to hear Radium Dials appeal. By then the girls had won 8 times before Radium Dial was forced to pay.

Actually, their main task was painting luminescent dials on aircraft instruments, if I remember correctly.

And their higher ups knew that it was likely dangerous, and ordered them to do it or be punished.

​@pyro1047 one of the girls found out her prognosis was fatal *in the courtroom* because it wasn't considered okay to let the patient, especially a female patient, know if they were going to die. As it would make them panic.

Sure, Marie was technically Polish, but Pierre was French, they worked and published in France, and are universally known as French. It's like being mad at calling Freddie Mercury a British musician, just because he was born in Tanzania.

​@@Kamarovsky_KCM So you are telling me that every woman that is in relationship with a guy from another country becomes a member of his nation without any say in that matter, like some sort of object? I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty sexist. You know that this F. Mercury argument is playing against you, right? Like you said he was born in Tanzania, but wasn't Tanzanian - same like with Maria, she was born in russian empire, but she was not russian - the same way she was living in France, but was not French. I know that it might be surprise you, but people don't change nationality the moment they cross border. You are technically a smartass, but are universally knows as closed minded

It got me right there also. And just rolled my eyes. Like seriously?

@@Kamarovsky_KCM do not anger Polish pepole when you are talking about their big awarded scientist. Just, don't

@@Kamarovsky_KCM no matter the case. By being silent and accepting both facts are simply speaking allowing said countries to blatantly rob said nations of pride, integrity and promoting cultural discrimination, with other words, spreading lies and allowing one self to be comfortable ignorant!

Also the artificial lake from nuke

I am from a town where they did their geological survey using nukes. I mean, it's pretty peaceful until you put the nuke at 500 metres deep instead of 1500 and loose a lake in the process and get radioactive rain pour right over your geological team

Peacefully. Yes. Safely. No.

@@user-cx9nc4pj8w they have enough manpower that a few thousand dead miners are no issue

@@God-ch8lq hey I escaped hell

I mean, when you make several thousands of them, you got to save on costs XD

It's probably like how iPhones technically cost like 50p each, it was the research and development that made them expensive

Nuclear warheads themselves are not especially expensive to make. The main costs are in R&D, and the delivery systems. These wouldn't have required a "delivery system" in the usual sense.

@@matthewgladback8905 I think sorting isotopes by weight would be the most expensive part of the process. That is the step that Stuxnet sabotaged in Iran.

@@jamesphillips2285 acquiring some of the materials is difficult and costly as well. Mining, transportation, safety measures for radioactive parts etc.

Ah yes, “shockingly inaccurate”, exactly what I want for a close-range nuclear weapon

Yes, but by international law, once Pierre had planted his flag in her, she became French territory.

Just to be precise - Marie Skłodowska-Curie was 100% Polish, not just born in Warsaw. More than 1 Pole watching this 🙃

She was a French citizen so what he said wasn’t incorrect, however she did always retain her “Polishness” throughout her life 😊

​@@deedeeramone34 yes she was a french citizen but was a Polish person that was born in Warsaw and just married a french guy. She even discovered new chemical element and called Polon, to honour that she is Polish.

​@@cyanide1931 +1

The dynamite/artillery connection is fairly tenuous, but it's closer than it might appear. Artillery uses two different types of explosives: one to fire the shell at the target, and another to make the shell explode when it gets there. TNT is suitable for exploding at the target: it has very low sensitivity so it will withstand the shock of being fired from the gun, and it's a detonating high explosive with good shattering effect to damage the target. However, the "propellant" explosive used to fire the shell at the target must act more slowly, as a non-detonating low explosive. Alfred Nobel invented ballistite specifically for this purpose, about 20 years after his much more famous invention of dynamite. And both contain nitroglycerin (as did his other less famous invention, gelignite). But that's as far as the connection goes. And anyone capable of safely manufacturing ballistite's other major ingredient, nitrocellulose, could probably also manufacture the nitroglycerin.

I knew they both used nitroglycerin as the active ingredient, but I didn't know the history behind it. That explains why the terms weren't interchanged on Mythbusters.

don't forget nuclear salt water rockets!

Alliteration too

And? France gave her education and development opportunities. In Poland (as it existed then as a dependent state) she could not be admitted to the university. Even in Russia women could study at that time, but not in the kingdom of Poland. Poland was the only one who threw logs under her feet.

@@burkosalw still she kept her Polish citizenship.

@@burkosalw *"Poland was the only one who threw logs under her feet."* Lol, right. It's not like Russia was in charge of any minutiae of that "kingdom" or anything. Anyone ever told you what "dependent state" entailed? Bonus points for using the name, which Russia literally removed few years before she was born. Along with severely restricting education in toto. To the point college-esque courses (she participated in) ran by her compatriots were illegal, just like she became a criminal for teaching some kids math. Further bonus points for missing that she was taught equivalent of STEM *before* college - something that would not happen in France, lol. But muh logs.

You can still get radioactive stuff its just you'll get put on a watch list for buying hundreds of smoke alarms.

Don't forget the plates with uranium paint ^^ Oh and before the lead paint, someone commercialized a green paint made with... arsenic. It even caused a diplomatic incident recently, because an american diplomat died from arsenic poisoning, he was not poisoned, he just stayed too long in an old green room ^^'

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if half a century down the line our generation get laughed at for using something highly lethal but are ignorant about it
