Radioactive Tritium Tesseract Prototype

I had this image in my head to create a real life tesseract, here is the first prototype!

To "create a real life tesseract", you'll need a 4D printer.

The lab where i worked in Oxford (UK) had tritium fire escape signs because they worked with out power. One day some one stole two of them. This was classed as a radiation incident even though there was never any real danger causing the Safety Officer to fill in lots of forms. One sign was found dumped on a motor way many miles away, but I think the other was never found. Kind of amuzing that you can now buy tritium light sticks for fun projects.

I assume that the tritium has a negligible amount of radiation so it is safe, so it’s pretty neat that the glow is from radiation

Just so everyone knows, this makes an awesome night light!

Your outro is like moms before school. "Be good, have a good day"

Masking tape works for helping it not chip when you're cutting. Plus, it gives you a great spot to mark where to make your cut.

Your dedication to trippy radioactive cubes is instant subscribed

5:45 I was really scared, my headphones f*** up again!! 😂😂😂

place it on magnetic levitation shelf and point a tiny air pump at it to spin

Same physical design, 8 LEDs pointing into transparent plastic sticks (glue gun sticks?), solar panels for the inner cube, a recharging circuit with light sensor and small lithium battery. Now I need to see if anyone makes small-ish square solar panels. The overall size is likely going to be determined by the solar panels and how small a battery will fit in there that also holds a decent charge.

Those tritium vials are very expensive 🙁

0:53 Radioactive isotope.
Cancer: Let me stop you right there. Allow me to introduce myself.

needs more glow. that tesseract representation is meant to be a wireframe, so every edge needs to glow on the big and little cubes. Also, doped strontium aluminate / plastic extrusion would be way cheaper

Me: Stay focused don't waste hours on youtube because you see something shiny...
Me upon seeing this thumbnail: god dammit sean hodgins alright whats this about

[MuzikBike]

0:24 That looks like a weird 120-cell. I kind of want one.

[ChunkySteveo]

Nice work Sean! I could see someone adapting this to work with some LED filament lengths and a battery pack in the middle??

So does a 5 dimensional cube have another outer cube?

[mattlewandowski]

Tritium is a safe low level radioactive material. it is used in a number of self luminescent devices including watches, some telescope aiming devices, compasses, and more. It has a half life of approximately a decade meaning from the time the vial is made, in 10 years time it will be half as bright, in 20 years time it will be a quarter as bright.

[SOFIJABORICIC]

We can see 2 real cubes inner and outer and 6 squashed cubes.
In 4th dimension if we are able to visualize 4th dimension all this 6 cubes including first 2 will be real

Nicely done. I suspect the plastic two way mirrors are pretty poor compared to glass. Glass is harder to work with but you get deeper reflections and clearer views.
