We've added some new footage to our video about beryllium, filmed at the MAX-lab synchrotron in Sweden.

For more about the experiment Pete's referring to, watch the "Beam Time" video at our other channel nottinghamscience.

  • @Mariolover24 DANG, my cheese!

  • Funny that Focal use Beryllium in their tweeter domes. I have no idea why, probably because its very light but it not very strong or stable... Strange trade-off that one. But considering the cost off pure beryllium its possible they use a alloy or compond of several other elements, its them most likely scenerio to me.

  • @blueduderanch mmm Its ore is beryl, from which a small fraction of the Al3+ is replaced by Cr3+ to form Emerald. Correct me if in wrong because i'm such a newbie

  • You are hereby conquered. Please line up in the order of how much Beryllium it takes to kill you.

  • @Mariolover24 Die. That what happens. :P

  • Imagine you are eating cheese puffs in the lab, then you touch the beryllium. What do you do?!?

  • @BruceNJeffAreMyFlies The black market

  • So. The beryllium in the jar is toxic because its in dust form which allows it to get in to the lungs and i guess the beryllium on that dome is fabricated in such a way that it doesn't flake off at all like that in the jar. interesting.

  • Beryllium dome, or new car... hmmmmmm.. BERYLLIUM DOME!!! :D

  • Beryllium laden...ehi, why does that remind me of Osama???
