A child's toy that included uranium!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_U-...Laboratory

From wikipedia **** The kit's intention was to allow children to create and watch nuclear and chemical reactions using radioactive material. ***

This lab was just too awesome!    It's just one more reason why I truly am in love with the past because we would never find anything this cool today!  Hell we would be arrested for just owning it!

damn I remember when I was a kid, me and my older bro got some chemical set to play with, can't remember its name, but I do remember that both of us plus a friend started to play with it and all of the sudden we had our room full of some weird chemical smoke, hahaha.

This atomic energy set must have been really cool to play with.

kids today are missing out

wait, you are telling me that this radioactive toy came with batteries??

Tiny scale radiation experiments need external power, even industry-sized reactors and massive accelerators have it. Think "starter".

One not real nuclear reaction but really cool idea.

Interesting but I found the "erector" even more useful; make more, larger, stronger... up is way to go!
Note you may need a hand, as pictured. Erector. Made in and to reach onto New Heaven. Connect'n'Cut.

Cool set!
But I still want my own personal Fukushima.

How to make your own personal Fukushima, Chernobyl, etc.

1. Have some radioactive material. Altough radium was the easiest to start working, it's easier to get uranium.

2. Make clouds.

But can you use it to remove a tree stump in your backyard?   That's the big important question!   lol
