    According to wikipedia, the price for cesium is $11000 per kilogram, divided by 1000 is $11 per gram. If you have 84 grams of cesium, that means you threw $935 dollars into the pond and watched it explode. That is well worth the money...

    Hi Cody, I have a great idea for your vaccum chamber. As we all know small devices produce some heat while working, but that heat quickly disappears in the air. What if you leave for example a flashlight on something which insulates heat from the walls. Will that overheat or it will radiate heat as an IR light like spaceships do?

    • @christianled5972
      @christianled5972 Před 7 lety +17

      Merging two atoms is fusion not fission. Fission is splitting an atom. If he manages to fuse two atoms, he'll become the most famous person alive and solve all of our energy problems. Cold fusion has been sought after for many many decades.

      He probably mistyped fusion, he only used one "s" and "u" is next to "i" on a keyboard, making it very likely that such a mistake would occur.
      And fusion describes the process of multiple atomic nuclei coming close enough to form a new atomic nuclei not merge.

      Very impure. Lots of cesium oxide, silicon, and chlorine can be found in his play button. I'd say there's far, far less than 84g of pure cesium in the play button. Plus, the amount of pure cesium in the sample would rapidly decay over time given the lack of proper storage conditions.

    • @metalmishap
      @metalmishap Před 7 lety +124

      someone more knowledgable than me said with the impurities he maybe got it to be worth 3-3.5k. He also needs tons of permits to sell the stuff legally, can't ship by air, and need to sell it to an approved buyer.

    • @acbthr3840
      @acbthr3840 Před 7 lety +82

      Right, well there's a number of things going on here. First, the cesium he distilled (from the much more stable and safe CsCl) isn't particularly pure, hence it wouldn't be worth as much. Purifying cesium is incredibly dangerous and expensive to do. Second, transportation. Transporting purified cesium is incredibly dangerous if not done properly and expensive in general. Third, since its such a reactive compound, I imagine you need all sorts of permits and licenses to sell it, not to mention taxes for this sort of thing, so even if the cesium Cody made was pure, and he could figure out how to transport it, he couldn't sell it to anyone.

    • @JamesWaton
      @JamesWaton Před 6 lety +3

      Francium is also super radioactive, it would be awesome if they could create a lump of it, but there going by reactivity relative to the other alkali metals there's a safe assumption that the reaction would be greater, but i doubt by much.

    • @atpstorages6917
      @atpstorages6917 Před 6 lety +4

      James Watson Well, I mean the lower elements just smoke or nearly explode. Cesium explodes on contact with water, creating an explosion that destroys glass, and Francium... It is unknown but the explosion would probably spit out radioactive material, and destroy it's container. I mean, if a lump WAS created, It would radioactively decay into another element. Good luck getting it with it poisoning you nor it decaying
