Please don't try and repeat what you see. Also, when the project is done, the waste needs to be dealt with and handled properly. On my second channel, NileBlue, I show what I did with it and you can check it out here: https://youtu.be/7ZUqSncJ5U0 For this project, I'll be making radioactive uranium glass, which was very popular 100 years ago. Under a blacklight, the uranium in it fluoresces to give off a nice green color.

I love how so many of your statements are basically “I knew this was a bad idea. I did it anyway. It was indeed a bad idea.” It just really sells the Scientific Realism.
That reminds me of The Demon Core. Even if it's stupid but you do it anyway.
This feels like a call out
fuck around and find out
That's how Chernobyl happened. "Raise the damn power!"
@Damar Aksama literally
For anyone who is even remotely considering making glass: breathing in silica dust is very harmful to your lungs. Do NOT put it in a blender as he did.
Not that dangerous if you understand silica dust.
Just use a mask like he did.
ok
@Szgerle Dude you are right, I dont understand what those dummies are doing responding you with whinnies. You are elocuent, I like you
@Szgerle hey bro u still responding ?
@Szgerle Uranium inside your body would indeed be disastrous . Inside your body, you would receive damage to your DNA from the alpha particles emitted. 50mg of uranium would be lethal (remember, he made 9g of the compound, so ~8g of uranium there)
Nile: "The dust it gives off is toxic to humans" also Nile: shakes it violently
He is wearing a dust mask
@Backyard Camping hmm...... Is it bad to cyan???
"there was clearly an effect"
(Nile says as the geiger counter starts screaming)
Oof
theodore matthews jumps from 15 to 1222 in 15 seconds I think that’s a bit radioactive...
Rephical Gaming “a bit” well yes
theodore matthews one of these days he’s gonna get cancer and then the doctors will ask” him have you been near any cancer causing chemicals” then he’ll say “yes” the doctor will then ask “what kind” “yes”
*screaming calmly 😌
Nile would be the guy in Fallout universe running around bopping to Uranium Fever in the glowing sea
26:23 , just a small objection, the instrument's results are calculated in Micro Sieverts (μ) whilst the graph given in the left side shows the Sieverts in the scale of Mili (m). To give an accurate example of the difference, mili is 1*10^-3 whilst micro is 1*10^-6. Micro is a way smaller unit and does not equal to a dose of a CT scan.
Good
now i can drink and slowly die at the same time. Perfect
We've been able to that for millenia and for way cheaper. It's called beer 🍻
@Brunosky Inc. this time you need less alcohol.
"I don't want to breath all that poisonous Uranium dust"
*Proceeds to vaporize it with a blowtorch*
"I learned from cody'slab that the government doesn't really like it when you show how to refine uranium" got me laughing
@Oit Thegroit other people could make nukes because of him
@Oit Thegroit because other people might?
@Oxy Bright Dark Actually yeah good point
@Gabriel Alejandro Pandiella Rodriguez Controlling the amount of radiation in an area so people don't get sick and die because of it, specifically.
@Sophie H your right the people who are likely to try and use a simple youtube video are the type of people who probably shouldnt be using a video to refine uranium period.
"I don't want to risk any Uranium dust staying in the air"
*expressly tries to break it with some piers
"It's also highly toxic, and it can lead to heavy metal poisoning"
headbanging starts to kick in
😂😂
As a glassblower, I am extremely impressed with your first trial glass batch.
Yeah it isnkayfabe
@unknownkingdom what
Definitly interested because I have messed with some uranium glass while apprenticing in some lampwork and, also because I love uranium glass
"However, it would be a bad idea to carry them in your pockets all the time"
Marie Curie: WELL NO $#!7
"So I decided to have some patience and to test it again a few minutes later"
Bruh I don't think you know what patience means 😂
“Trying to avoid dust at all costs”: 17:33
Nile: (intense chemistry)
Me playing Minecraft: oh so sand + heat = glass
And 1 stack of likes noice.
@DHIRAJ KUMAR Tiwari Lmao
Aside from the non-shielding gloves, what PPE did you use? Was the fume hood used to vent the dust?
I like how he listed “can’t make bombs” under cons lis
Same
@nerd-chan civilian grade nuclear warheads
I mean I would love to nuke my neighbour
HOLD UP
Nilered in 2040: saving chernobyl with a liquid that absorbs every radiation
He’s got 19 years to live up to this. Knowing what he’s done, I say it’s possible.
It would be crazy and cool
The radiation in Cherlobyl is stabilising and is actually better than in many populated surrounding towns. It is open to tourism as well.
i just love how sarcastic he is throughout the vid
I busted out laughing at "death clouds" 😂 Best term.
The only 30 min video I saw without skipping in my YouTube usage history!
"Special waste container:"
The neighbors trashcan.
@Thatt Bugg stfu
congratulations new creature discovered
creature name unknown
about creature unknown
danger level - high
tip - RUN
@James i do
@Sausage Bros r/woosh*
It must be like the arc of the covinent your face melts off when you open it
8:08 Within all my years of high school chemistry and undergrad chemistry, I have never seen Uranium in a chemical equation!
"When it's dry like this, it has a tendency to give off dust and powder, which is bad to breathe."
shakes container repeatedly with no top on
yes, this is safe.
$#IT
The glass broke due to extremely high internal stress.
Me to Glass: Relatable Bro 🥲✌
Btw depleted uranium is a common sight in tank rounds (which today look like metal arrows) all modern APFSDS(armour piercing fin stabilised discarding sabot the specific tank round for any tank to tank combat) have a depleted uranium core to make the round very tough and heavy thus with minimised drag through the armour and maximising inertia (with DU) you get max penetration
So DU can still be used to make weapons and in some cases very strong (yet heavy) composite armour
"wouldn't be a good idea to carry around in your pocket" just casually roasting marie curie
@Aliya Shahum DAMN!!!!!! (In the voice of Smokey)
@Aliya Shahum that was awful.
XD
r/blursedcomments? xD
@Aliya Shahum ooooooohhhh
And the ol' COCKadoodledoo
lemme translate this man's whole career.
"What I was doing was tentatively well, but then I decided to make it fail."
when he poured the glass I just imagined some clueless person walked into the room says something like "oo an orange boiled sweet" and tries to pick the molten glass up to eat
A brilliant and very interesting video, great job, thanks for sharing.
8:57 forbidden orange juice.
Yummy. That's a once in a lifetime drink right here!
“The government doesn’t really like it when you show how to refine uranium on the internet.” Damn my Saturday plans are ruined
@Blim The Toolman Lol DEFEATED BY THE LAND OF MAPLE SYRUP!
Lol Canada Stronk!
@EdgeOfSzon i wish the world police wouldnt shoot people for having airsoft guns and not invade countries for being communisy
Refining uranium chemically to get it to elemental metal is not the hard part. The tough bit is separating the U-235 and U-238 isotopes. This is not something one can do in a home laboratory.
🤣🤣🤣
don't worry, you can just buy a cube of uranium metal! https://luciteria.com/metal-cubes/uranium-cube
‘Death clouds’ had me cracking! :D
I was literally holding my breath when you grinding the uranium... :-O
16:30 that moment that you know you're gonna f*ck up everything butbit turns out that everything is fine
You can also coat the glass in clear rubber to keep it from breaking and it might keep the radiation levels down.
“When its dry it gives off dust and powder”
proceeds to shake it still
That's been really interesting for you to show people. I have been collecting uranium glass so for me I found it super interesting.
"Heavy metal poisoning" 🤘
@2:49 that cloud chamber is sick!!!! That would be the most awesome “lava lamp” style night light in a child’s room, just make sure it’s up high enough they can’t reach it, and on something stable and solid that they cannot ever for any reason knock it off or knock the dresser over lollf
"I never made glass before, so let's make uranium glass"
hard stuff first, screw the easy crap
A big leap. From Earth to the Stars
😂
@eurus kreacatoa well played 👏😂
@eurus kreacatoa so you can type?
"I was in no way a pro, but I decided I was ready to add in the Uranium."
Just as a tip, add Uranium to most things, especially if you have only done this thing once.
17:35 “And everything that came into contact with the uranium was put into my waste container”
puts it in the toys-for-tots bin
14:07 Nigel, what are you hiding from us
who else ended up on a watch list from him mentioning that someone else showed refining of uranium?
Ahh, another episode of "Videos that put NileRed on a FBI watchlist"
@Buddycat Dudeguy I agree, FBI has their offices in most countries in the world. It’s not a secret, you can look it up.
LOL
@Jag G flase, CIA is outside of the USA, FBI is for internal affairs.
@Myka S don’t talk out of your ass if you don’t know https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/legal-attache-offices
@Jag G Yes they have bases outside the U.S. but that page you recommend literally said "The FBI stations special agents and other personnel overseas to help protect Americans back home" so they are still not concerned with people internationally and are focused on the U.S.'s safety only. That person you replied to wasn't wrong and didn't talk out their ass they were right and so we're you. You did not have to clap back like that.
I must say though, all jokes aside, this was a very interesting video#best crystal meth deterrent ever

“I’d never worked with uranium before, so I figured I would follow the instructions.” Good plan.
