Wikipedia "radioisotope thermoelectric generator".
Nuclear batteries do exist. They power satellites, remote lighthouses, etc and last for several decades. It's basically a slug of perpetually red-hot plutonium oxide, surrounded by equipment to turn the heat into electricity.
None of them use uranium. It would be useless for a battery.
Plus, the Geiger detector bit was pure theater, the sensitivity was set to the lowest level so the dial would flip but the scintillometer barely clicked.
For a "backyard scientist", you should learn how things operate better. Neither smoke detectors nor lantern mantles use "radioactive batteries".
Smoke detectors use a tiny bit of alpha-emitting americium-24; when smoke enters the detector, the alpha particles get blocked and the alarm triggers. The actual horn is what the battery powers.
Gas lantern mantles use thorium dioxide-impregnated nylon which glows brightly when heated. But the radioactivity has no effect.
no s**t! that's why I said it!!! notice how i said propane powered lantern not battery!!! I'm smart enough to understand quantum mechanics give me some credit!!! I don't have a giger counter anymore to test some batteries to see if any contain a radio isotope! my dad sold all my science equipment to the school when we moved years ago, snif snif.
A small mistake: Uranium-238 is not used for batteries; Plutonium-238 is. It's also not 1.5v, but rather around 3v. It is used in places where a very-long-lasting battery is needed (e.g. pacemakers), though it is uncommon today, as lithium batteries are cheaper to produce, and can be made as reliable as a Pu-238 battery, not to mention that it needs no radiation shielding (there is only chemical danger).
Those batteries are'nt really radioactive, electroman just put ordinary batteries with that label as a joke to demonstrate the impossibility of powering a large tv with a AA battery.
If you look really closely you can see the real power leads under his mount for the "Uranium- 238" Power cell. This is also a reply to some idiots "How to run a TV on a AAA battery." This is a hilarious spoof though. Great Job
wow.... dude seriously. its a generic AA battery with a fake label. fake meter. and more than likely some kind of fake sound effect and brass bar. ITS NOT REAL!!! if you think he was being serious about the u-238 stuff then how do you even know how to spell uranium. geez.
next time I will have a vid in YT where I show my pichblende stones. in 30 secs they give off 1200 radioactive particles and it´s safe to hold it with bare hands so this is nothing xD
haha if you think this guy can get his hands on anything but his tv remote you are retarded. It's not plutonium, it doesnt look like a AA battery, and this guy is a retard.
This video is obviously a fake however real atomic batteries do exist too and they do not utilize conventional heat engines but use techniques like betavoltaics and thermopiles. They are quite safe to handle.
Typically the emissions would not cause the bed to become radioactive even if the emitter wasn't safe to hold due to direct alpha or beta radiation although this is unrealistic battery design since alpha and beta radiation are easily blocked.
lol this is the funniest shit i have ever seen and like a person before said put a man on the moon yer im pretty sure that it was faked the landing on the moon and radioactive material doesnt create electricity it creates heat which heats water extremely fast to make lots of steam to turn turbines
I tried this one. (Don't ask where I got a U-238, it's classified.) Unfortunately, the waldo had a malfunction in the main actuator, and had a structural failure on the atomic level. After which it nearly took my head off. This is a warning: DO NOT CONDUCT THIS EXPERIMENT WITHOUT PROPER FACE PROTECTION! I'm serious... Mostly.
LOL I love this video!!! However, The folks that actually believe the "Power Your 24" TV With 1 AAA Battery" video, are the folks that wont see any comedy in this video. Instead they will be amazed at your high tech cell extraction method from the lead box and the "alien inverter technology" you show!! LOL!!
Funny shit. You should talk to NASA--I bet you could help them put a man on the moon....but you might need one more waldo for a job like that. Watch out for that U-238, I like to use U-239 cuz it's more stable at high temps.

XD thats so dumb. The minerals cannot generate electricity, they generate heat, which such and so forth turns a turbine generating electricity. not Directly creating electricity.
interesting. and a quick fact im bringin up for no apparent reason, more radiation comes from a coal power plant than a nuclear power plant due to traces of radioactive substances mixed within the coal.
