Uranium marbles

[mafufen]

jajajajaja que fake se ve donde corta el video

[Iwillgetyou2]

Haters gonna hate

[kima1010]

YEAH NICE TRICK ITS JUST GLOW IN DARK HALLOWEEN BALS!

[elmuerteyu]

Fake.Any fluorescent or bright green object glows under black light.

[vtox101]

@elmuerteyu True, however these glow because they have uranium dioxide in the glass. We have tested these with a geiger counter. Any "bright green" object will not glow it must have fluorescent properties to it. Please look up vaseline glass for a crash course in what you are seeing here.

[dreadlock360]

I want some XD

[mrasshole180]

lool thats fake they dosen't sell Uranium in any store your fuckings faag

[vtox101]

@mrasshole180 Please look up uranium or vaseline glass and keep the vulgar comments away. Thanks.

[zombieX111222333]

@mrasshole180 Your grammar skills are fake that's for sure. And theses uranium marbles are not fake. Maybe if your IQ was over 50 you'd realize that there's a branch of science you've never heard of called nuclear physics. Maybe someday you'll learn how to reason and sound intelligent in your comments. But in the meantime practice your grammar.

[worms635]

you are radioaktive :)

[Bamse5b]

hes radioactive now :( (PS: DONT EVER TOUCH ME WITH YOUR RADIOACTIVE FINGERS!!!!!!! :O)

[lesliefeltham]

MAGIC BEANS!!!!!!!!

[vtox101]

@lesliefeltham I wish there were some that were shaped like beans that would be cool.

[themostkoolest15]

two words FA-KE

[vtox101]

@themostkoolest15 Two more words. Wro-ng.

[jameshoffmandude]

where can i get some?

[vtox101]

@jameshoffmandude globright.

[antiprincessrebuild]

great, now swallow them :3

[coolbionicle]

I think Uranium is still radioactive. Even in a molecular bound it is still a heavy element and prone to decay, producing radiation. Al tough xWHITExEAGLEx is right; with a little chemistry knowledge you can get the Uranium oxide off the marbles then use a catalyzer metal to purify it into pure Uranium. then BAM! we have a nuke.

[thomas242007]

hey i got radioactive balls lolol couldnt resist!

[vtox101]

@thomas242007 I'd have that checked. Lol.

[thomas242007]

@vtox101 hahaha, thats pretty cool though be a neat addition to my rock collection

[absolutgermanyfangrl]

who the fuck sells uranium marbles?

[vtox101]

@absolutgermanyfangrl globright.

[erasynth]

so u cant get any radiation poisoning? 

[1ukjunglednbraver]

@erasynth no there minimally radioactive

[nuclearwinterxxx]

vtox101...your responses are hilarious. you never lose patience. well played.

[vtox101]

@nuclearwinterxxx I did once but that was when I turned on comment approval :-)

[xWHITExEAGLEx]

If we assume, that the marbles weigh 25g, 80% glass and 20% natural uranium, then you would need roughly 3.4 million marbles to make a decent nuclear bomb.

[vtox101]

@xWHITExEAGLEx LOL and since this is uranium dioxide nothing would happen. Although you could trip a lot of people.

[xWHITExEAGLEx]

@vtox101 Haha, you can "smelt" the uranium out though ;) I think it would be a bit suspicious if you tried to buy that many marbles though...

[xWHITExEAGLEx]

@vtox101 Haha, you can "smelt" the uranium out ;) I think it would be a bit suspicious if you tried to buy that many marbles though...

[circle601]

@vtox101 get some magiusm for a displacement reaction

[antieye555]

blow up vatican city with a bag of that but pure uranium-235

[koulukakara]

@antieye555 are you now talking about a little pouch or a large plastic bags?

[TheCDGme]

What would happen if you taped a few to some firecrackers, lit it and ran for your life?

[vtox101]

@TheCDGme It would probably destroy a small country. If that country was one inch by one inch.

[jrlego10]

XD

[TheNandopro]

@vtox101 lol

[Exlusiv2009]

I think there's no black light :D

[vtox101]

@Exlusiv2009 You would be thinking wrong. :-p

[Cortake]

is there any place i can buy them ?

[vtox101]

@Cortake Yea, globright dotcom

[Metalicalypse]

Whoaa I love the color though I still think theyre toxic.

[vtox101]

@Metalicalypse Not to handle.

[feet363]

you got some uranium 235 that u can give me

[tonymerc1]

what kind of uranium is this?

u

[vtox101]

@tonymerc1 Again, read the video description. Thanks.

[mebgone24]

It is know as "Canary" glass because is has a yellow color to it. My mom has a couple of glass chickens made of it.

[dylan5449]

If those were real his hand would be on fire!

[vtox101]

@dylan5449read the description

[XxFluffyToastxX]

@dylan5449 Uranium is radioactive, and does not generate heat, just radiation.

[nickm419]

@vtox101 Not if it was real uranium

[vtox101]

@nickm419 Does anyone bother to read the description?

[teengene]

BS

[darkpigion]

@teengene Nope, I have 2 uranium,glass bowls, they glow under UV light.

[vtox101]

@frostywinter10 they are safe to handle.

[vtox101]

@scottymcphat

It's been done however because these have uranium dioxide in them I would not advise it.

[scottymcphat]

holy shit! Make fried marbles with those

[Frostywinter10]

Don't touch those marbles with your hands. They are radioactive.

[vtox101]

@boop9000 no one on the planet would think it was safe to swallow a marble. Safe to handle does not mean safe to eat. It's not edible.

[boop9000]

safe to swallow?

[dbznol]

where can i find the music??? i know that is Avenue C Light Positive but i cant find it

[vtox101]

@dbznol It was one of the choices when I did an audio swap and it was one of the choices that you tube provides.

[Donkumbia94]

I fucking love you

[vtox101]

@Donkumbia94 Why thank you!

[xjackxkad]

Now how about we try hitting them with a hammer or something :)?

[vtox101]

@xjackxkad LOL, Why?

[piraat6666]

radioactive materials in plastic container, yeah right.

[vtox101]

@piraat6666 I'm assuming because of the radioactive sticker? That is purely there for novelty purposes.

[mrmeval1]

@piraat6666 They come from United Nuclear in a little plastic bag or you can buy uranium glass off of ebay. The older green glass has more U235 in it. The United Nuclear marbles are made with depleted uranium and are mostly U238 which is not very radioactive.

[vtox101]

@mrmeval1 United Nuclear does not have the marbles, I think they ran out of stock. They do have "Beads" as they are calling them which are called gems by other sites however you only get 3 to a pack for $10. Globright has them for $9.95 and in a 5 pack or the actual marbles for $9.95 in a 3 pack. They are all pretty much the same everywhere, vaseline glass. You can also get them on ebay but you will pay a lot and probably have to bid on an auction.

[mrmeval1]

@vtox101 Aw darn, they ran out of depleted uranium, then out of the good uranium ore, now they have no marbles. BOO. They did have them with a sample of the really wimpy ore.

[vtox101]

@mrmeval1 Well honestly, it's something that is not manufactured so places aren't going to have these forever. You can check you tube. I know Bob at United nuclear carried that for quite a while so he may get more in. I've seen ore on ebay and some mineral sites. I'm glad I got a glass cutet when I did. I'll have to put a vid up on the glass cutlet for people to see.

[ChumpusRex]

@piraat6666 Uranium is radioactive, and the marbles do have uranium in them (albeit only a trace). Also, depleted uranium is so weakly radioactive that, legally, they depleted uranium does not need to be classed as a radioactive material (so, the sticker is a novelty), and no special precautions for handling are required.

[vtox101]

@ChumpusRex Nicely said.

[vtox101]

@ChumpusRex Nicely said.

[elseagoat]

Are you dissatisfied with your current marble set? Have you found that your boring, plain glass marbles do not provide you with the levels of CANCER that you desire? Try uranium infused marbles today!

[vtox101]

@elseagoat LOL. I can see the commercial now. Seriously I should say these do not have enough radiation to cause any cancer.

[ninjabluewings]

@elseagoat Now That's A Commercial I Would Like To See

[vtox101]

@ninjabluewings maybe Saturday night live? :)

[daspense]

yeah... uranium doesnt glow... 

[vtox101]

@daspense this is not glowing by itself, it is under a black light.

[kenanderson100]

that is a luminance liquid under black light.

[vtox101]

@kenanderson100 Nope.

[DennisL0L]

wouldnt that be radium, not uranium?

[vtox101]

@DennisL0L no it's uranium.

[billynightmare]

argh, why show me these, now I want some :)

[vtox101]

Get some now because they don't make them anymore and once they are all bought up that will be the end of them except at higher prices on places like eBay.

[IMMAPLUTO]

WHY ISNT HE LISTENING? ITS RADIOACTIVE!

[vtox101]

@IMMAPLUTO he who?

[theoreticalphysosist]

@IMMAPLUTO its radioactive and hes holding his han next to an ultra violet light! theyre both known for causing cancer! or atleast the uv is

[vtox101]

@theoreticalphysosist Long wave uv, the kind found in every day black lights are not "known" for causing cancer. This isn't like a tanning bed light. And the uranium dioxide in the glass is totally safe.

[vtox101]

It has to do with oxidation. Google "why does uranium glass glow green".

[TitoTyfus]

Yeah, well.... Uranium glows blue... I wonder who thought that uranium glows green... I think it's just because it looks toxic

[mrmeval1]

@TitoTyfus Uranium oxide glows bright green under UV due to florescence and is very stunning if you get one of the dangerous UV lasers but get UV goggles too. For the clean blue glow of a nuclear reactor you need this Cherenkov radiation (also spelled Cerenkov or Čerenkov) is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium. " from wikipee

[Evey2607]

@TitoTyfus let me just put this here: lmgtfy.com/?q=why+uranium+glow­s+green

[ZachVagias]

cool. when your balls turn black and fall off from the exposure, that will be cool too.

[vtox101]

@ZachVagias Lol.

[soocl0se]

Just random thought but thanks for actually giving an explaination for what it is instead of pretending it was in toxic form still and annoying everyone.

[vtox101]

@soocl0se No problem, I hope no one thought we were giving the impression these were toxic. I think when people see the word uranium they may jump to that conclusion. Maybe you mean that other videos were implying these were toxic?. These are basically a novelty item and imo just very cool.

[GhostDog65]

cool



[whangie1]

I want a tube of these, I've already got a UV lamp, it should work a treat!

[vtox101]

@whangie1 Make sure its a true black light. A lot of places are selling blue bulb stuff and party style bulbs are just painted glass.

[whangie1]

@vtox101 Yeah it is, it gives the frequency in nano-metres and its 420 - 700 nm. It uses led's. Are the uranium marbles safe radiation wise?

[vtox101]

@whangie1 Uranium glass is safe, you can research vaseline or uranium glass online for more info.

My concern though is 420 is real high for the nm. Usually the really cheap black light flash lights are 420 and many things do not fluoresce at this range. Things like organic materials and many security inks need under 400. 385 would be better. Most of the lights on our website are under 400. Uranium is really fluorescent so 420 should not be a problem but for other things lower is better.

[ROFLOLLY]

... uranium is a black color...

[vtox101]

@ROFLOLLY Uranium oxide is black. Too much to go into in comments but check out the article on uranium ore in wikipedia or how vaseline glass is made. It will explain why the glass is not black and glows a green color.

[deluxeishmael]

where you buy?

[vtox101]

@deluxeishmael globright, or since you are international you can try ebay.

[nizzlewhizzle]

*Accidentally eats*

"Oh noes!"

*explodes*

[vtox101]

@nizzlewhizzle oh noes!!!

[XwawawaX344]

Its not fucking uranium, its glass-radium mix.

[vtox101]

@XwawawaX344 True, these are glass however they are uranium glass and contain 2% which are considered "trace levels". No one claimed these were solid uranium.

I'm a little taken back by the hostile comments lately, not sure why that is. Please people look up "uranium glass" Or "Vaseline glass", which is essentially what this is. These were tested using a Geiger counter and are irradiated so no one is trying to lie here. Thanks for commenting.

[wehset]

fucking fake!

these balls are only fluorescent

[vtox101]

@wehset These have been checked with a Geiger counter and are, in fact, irradiated.

[vtox101]

Thanks to everyone who took time to leave a comment, they were all interesting. Some of them funny too.

[ammar10]

Id prob put those in my mouth

[vtox101]

@ammar10 Not advisable. My brother choked on a marble when he was very little and almost died. My mom grabbed his legs, flipped him upside down and gave him a good whack on the back and the marble came out.

Scary stuff.

[hse420]

@vtox101 thats child abuse!  hehe :)

[drutzzix]

@ammar10 And you will grow another head 

[SteamMonkey115]

Ah, tick-tick-tock...is that the sound of a Geiger counter or my lifespan counting down? It's both!

[vtox101]

@SteamMonkey115 sadly all of our lifespans are running down.

[MrApplepadable]

WHERE CAN I GET THESE HELP???????

[vtox101]

@MrApplepadable Globrightdotcom or blacklightworlddotcom

[Jameslikespudding]

straight from chernoble toy shops 8D

[edottoni]

uranium is not so bad... plutanium is more danger

[vtox101]

@edottoni Imagine a plutonium marble, lol. But the uranium in these is harmless.

[relevation]

Great way to decrease the population.

[94thts]

Must be very little uranium, otherwise your hands would feel like they were burning when handling them..

[NEVERMAKESVIDEOS3V3R]

the only danger would be to break them :)

[vtox101]

@NEVERMAKESVIDEOS3V3R Not really because the uranium is in the glass, not like it's in the center and will leak out. We've actually melted these in a kiln. Also we will be making gems for rings using these and will be on sale soon.

[skythegeek]

@NEVERMAKESVIDEOS3V3R Yeah that and the fact that the DO NOT CONTAIN URANIUM!

[vtox101]

@skythegeek Uranium glass is glass which has had uranium, usually in oxide diuranate form, added to a glass mix prior to melting. The proportion usually varies from trace levels to about 2% by weight uranium, although some 19th-century pieces were made with up to 25% uranium.

[TechnologyGod]

Kinda pointless though seeing as they do not glow on their own without the presence of UV light.

[vtox101]

@TechnologyGod Pointless how? I guess if you wanted something to glow in the dark it would be. Since it is a "novelty" the point would be in the eye of the beholder.

[kobk916]

not something you hold in your hands shit for brains

[vtox101]

@kobk916 You can hold these. They are safe. 

[quantumbits]

@vtox101 Can you sleep with them?



[vtox101]

@quantumbits Sure, why not, lol.

[balios1]

If these are vaseline glass, then they do contain a small amount of uranium, but not enough to be harmful. They would only register slightly above the background radiation, as do many common items.

The glow from vaseline glass is indeed from flourescence (and not radiation), because uranium is a flourescent compound.

[snoopie0420]

dude that is not radioactive radioactive material doesnt move around in form that are low enough to not make a human ill that is why anything radioactive is handled in a hazmat suit

[SubZer018]

did you get that this uranium is under no radiation? and like you're crazy for me to get it as few hands it is dangerous to your family to contact you also will get radiation, boy listen what I'm talking to the maximum to avoid touching it!

[TheTriangulation]

If people believe this is Uranium I would laugh my ass off. Radium is the only green one.

[fisk7aal]

@TheTriangulation

Uranium in oxidation state 4 is green

[bombikid]

hahaha, no uranium boys! Fluorescent plastic marbles! Hahaha no radioactivity!

[vtox101]

@bombikid They are glass we heated them in a kiln so we know.

[ShyRobot]

@bombikid These are small traces (about 2%) of oxidized uranium in uranium glass, in which these marbles are made from. Please search things before arrogantly posting another comment about something you know nothing about :)

[vtox101]

@bombikid These have officially been tested with a Geiger counter and are the real deal.

[blues260]

i don't get it. sure.. they look nice when they glow but why would you want a radioactive object in your hand ? safe to handle or not.

seriously...

[vtox101]

@blues260 Well they look very cool in person, almost alien or science fiction like. And uranium and vaseline glass have been around a long time. These, I suppose, fill in the novelty niche. So e nightclubs buy a bunch and fill wine glasses with them for a cool effect. A lot of people have different applications.

[CoNiGMa]

wow. You got suckered. Those are just flourescent marbles. Have you checked with a radiation detector to see if they actually emit rads? If they don't, you've been duped.

[vtox101]

@CoNiGMa Good tip, however these are the real deal.

[vtox101]

@CoNiGMa Ok, here is the deal. These have been tested using a Geiger counter. But that said, if they were fluorescent marbles, the glass has to reach a specific temperature and fluorescent material would melt at the temp. If they were glow in the dark marbles they would glow in the dark without light. In the next few days we will upload a video showing a Geiger counter reading. Hopefully we can get this up soon.

[xptos1]

how much % of uranium are these marbles consisted of?

[pattymitch4]

Radiation level increased, You are now sick with Adv. Radiation Sickness

[vtox101]

@pattymitch4 Heh, what game was that, fallout?

[pattymitch4]

@vtox101 haha hell yeah

[hubzcaps]

thats a a trick..its not itadiated..its just flourecent glass hehehe

[HavazikFerric]

@hubzcaps Go google "uranium glass"...

[vtox101]

@hubzcaps Fluorescent powder would melt in the heating process

[Squaky1]

check out Patterson's Uranium Marbles on ebay. they have the widest selection of uranium marbles on the internet. lots of variations and styles. all radioactive

[Jay42580]

wondering were some one could get thease and how much do they normally run in price??? any info would be great..

[Frostbitelink]

@Jay42580 ebay and they cost about 15-18 for about 5

[Squaky1]

@Jay42580 look for Patterson's Uranium Marbles on ebay. you get a wider selection and more for your money there than at other stores online

[EvBoych]

he died of radiation poisoning later that night

[vtox101]

@EvBoych There is likely much more radiation coming out of a cell phone than irradiated glass. I would be worried about things in the home long before this stuff.

[SuperDylanGraham]

@EvBoych lmao

[Juppie902]

@EvBoych He can't. Alpha waves wont pass the glass. the uranium is secure inside the glass. unless he throws them on the floor and inhales the dust or eats the glass he should be just fine.

Imagine a car made of glass, filled with Uranium inside :P 1 car accident and its the end ^^ that will teach people not to drive and drink.

[supersamo95]

i dont think these actually contain any radioactive sources, its just a colouring that glows in uv light.

[vtox101]

@supersamo95 It's not just a coloring, the glass is actually irradiated, but the amount is very minute.

[Squaky1]

@supersamo95 they are 3% U02 by weight (Uranium oxide). so yes. they are really radioactive and contain real uranium. you can measure them with a geiger counter

[vtox101]

@Squaky1 Question, what type of Geiger counter would you suggest?

[Squaky1]

@vtox101 i use a CDC 700 and they register between 150-200 cpm(counts per minute)
