I use a Geiger-Mueller device to test the ionizing radiation from Thoriated Welding Tungstens, USA Aluminum and Japan Steel.
Good news; none of the aluminum nor steel showed any discernable Cobalt-60 contamination.

55,000 unread emails is a very respectable amount.
This guy is so fucking smart man
An actual gift to us all
Is it the same for tungsten carbide tool tipsโฆ. They are always in my pocketโฆ.
Can you get your paws on a led sheet from a hospital? Like what they use in a X-ray lab.
Tell me Ave the Canadian nukes cool reactors with clean lake water drains hot everyone fish there. Wouldn't the water be radio active?
We used xenon gas excited by cesium 137 for our densitometer, high voltage on xenon canister. Has photo multiplier tube at end of cannister. Gas glows and tube measured brightness. Less brightness more dense material in tube. For measuring desity of solids in a fluid thanks for covering this
The inverse square law isnt intuitive because people arent thinking of it as the surface area of a sphere surrounding it.
Iโm pretty sure I got thoriated tungsten dust in my mouth once, the skin of my gums was blistering and peeling off for over a month. It really sucked. No more blue tipped electrodes in my tool box.
TIG welding rods are doped with thorium on purpose to strike a better arc
I tested the cheap tungsten ring that I put on my necklace with my Geiger counter just to make sure because it was going to be hanging over my heart
I watch your videos every day and I donโt know how youโre this smart. Are you a machinist, scientist, engineer, mechanic, welder or outdoorsman
What language translation app are you using? It is pretty cool! Also, who is the manufacturer of the "Focus you f**k" camera? (Huge Smile). Thanks
Isn't all metal contaminated to an extent after all the nuclear weapons testing in the 1950's? Which is why people are scrapping all the sunken warships (often illegally) from the first and second world wars for pre-nuclear steel?
Here I've been storing my thoriaded tungsten in my pillow fu*k me. No wonder I glow in the dark like a fluorescent bulb.
I feel like if this guy was my Science teacher in school I would be working at Cern now.
All steel made after first nuclear bombs in the 1940s are radioactive.
Low background steel is pretty rare at this point
This video disappeared about as fast as a Higgs Boson particle. Got close to that Japanese steel and gave up.
Is it a particle, or is it a wave? When it's underwater does it get wet?
