No, it not so dangerous. But I tried to cook Americium, Radium and Beryllium in 96% sulphuric-acid, to easier get them blended. But the whole thing exploded upp in the air...

Of cource I thrown away my pills at the left side, and I didn't drink the juice-syryp in the right."

Pills? Some sort of medication I would suspect.





I blame Richard Hammond's Blast Lab.

Potassium iodide one would assume?

He talks like it's a totally normal thing to do.

You might find this site educational.

I suggest you use TOR or similar in order to reach it.

That site tends to suffer with access to it being blocked.

And you may attract the attention of the authorities.

I love people like this just on the border line between genius and raving loony.

Then I was placed in a police-car, when Radiation Safety Authory went into my apartment with very advanced measure-tools.

So, my project is canceled!

Aw, shucks!

the interviewer in that BBC interview is very badly informed - this guy was not trying to and would not have been able to 'create an explosion' by trying to do what he did. He was going to perform a small nuclear reaction that was essentially no danger to anyone.

I emailed Pigeon, it wasn't him. At least he says it wasn't.

Eddie Mair on PM this afternoon asked him if he had bid for it or paid the "Buy it now" price!

Cool, one wrong step and he becomes a superhero/super villan

I wonder what he would have done, had it got it all working, as free electricity for the whole town might have raised a few suspicions at the local enegry companies
