The Most Dangerous Object I Have Ever Held In My Hands

It’s finally done! I have made the perfect vial of cesium. Not a trace of oxidation, the cesium does not stick to the glass at all. And it is also the largest vial ever recorded on video. It took a long time until I mastered many challenges and perfected the vacuum techniques, but we are finally there. At the end of the video, there are some more beautiful shots of the vial. If you want to support me on patreon, I would really appreciate it!   / advancedtinkering   This video is not meant as an instruction and is for educational purposes only.
