GoPro Ride Through an Electron Beam Irradiator at Full Beam Power (GOPR0016trim) 

This beam cures every old cancer in your body while leaving completely new ones in its wake!

Wuss

But that's how superheroes are made!

It's not the beam that gets you it's the headcrab hiding at the end of the tunnel that will.

I want to lick it.

Why no helmet though?

​@@ivanp7 Because he's a professional.

"This is a bad experiment! We are bad people! WHY DID WE USHER FORTH THE GREEN APOCALYPSE?!"

Do you read Sutter Cane?

I was going to mention this. Despite it just being a camera on a cart being run through a several-rooms-sized machine it felt like a clip from an internet horror series. The beam causing genuine distortion to the picture after turning the last corner in the hallway cemented that. Now just put a halloween decoration or creepy mannequin in the beam chamber, film another run, and upload it to a new channel with no context or information and you'd have an internet mystery for years I'm sure haha.

You are quite the writer ay??

@@TradBarbie shouldn't you be barefoot in the kitchen right now?

dont shit your pants clown

Truly random numbers

simply cover the entire stage in ionising radiation!

Just irradiate your film set genius

OR best haunted house ride EVER

omg! lol!🤣🤣🤣 I was about to say that!

Later my skin turned red and I went to the hospital

Haha. Good one. :)

I dunno why I just laughed at this. Everything's so serious in the radiation realm and you see a random sarcastically funny comment..

*"Where's my lead jacket?"*

🤣🤣🤣

The "forbidden ghost ride" 🙃

Robots: THATS A DEATHRAY! GoPro: My leg is numb.

"lead is poisonous; I'll be fine without."

Wouldn't want to be near you during an emergency

@@quetzalcoatlz lol

does this hurt the blue counter?

@@cartler Probably killed it

GORDON! GET AWAY FROM THE BEAM

i was thinking in the conveyor maze where you go through an oven 😄

@@mebepersonShutting down… Attempting shut down… It’s not… it’s not shutting down! AAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Its.. its not shutting down

For me it reminds the waste factory where you get crushed on conveyor belt .

That beam is EMF, not nuclear. The camera wasn't "hot" in any way. Think of the beam as a bolt of lightning but spread out into a cloud that's raining downward over the camera.

Yep. You could kill every bacteria, or living organisms through that beam. It can be used to sterilize medical equipment, or food going to space. Pretty useful tool.

yeah i dont know about any of this stuff so i would immediately think its a bad idea to pick anything up from going in there and through that beam.

@@user-sq4qv1ql2q these kind of facilities are used to sterilized some foods for packaging.

​@brandonrushton4108 so why's it's glowing?

The best way I can describe it is "tv static"

hm....

There's too many electrons in my leg

@@eddy7346 Kids don't really know what that is anymore. Digital TVs don't display it.

​@@SolarWebsite He's spot on calling it that tho.

Isn't it just the usual property of cameras to capture wavelengths that we can't normally see?

@@TheExpressionless1 But what wavelength would it be emitting? Keep in mind that this is firing electrons, not light.

@@TheSHJGaming The blue light is just visible light: electrons ionize air and you can see air glowing, just like northern lights. The white spots are X Rays, generated from the interaction of electrons with molecules.

@@RAPOtheLLAMA Oh, I wasn't actually asking it as a question, I was trying to give him the answer without actually telling him. But yeah, you're right.

@@TheSHJGaming oh I see, I'm sorry

The real danger to you are the black widow spiders in the pooper hole being in close proximity to your gonads. It's a thing, I grew up on a farm and the reason why the spiders hang out there is because that's where the flies are at. So basically it's a constant all you can eat buffet for various kinds of spiders down the hole.

it's shielded

​@@hyerrogaming2780That's crazy 😂😂😂

@@LarmesdeGauchistes 😅😅😅😅

Camera is surrounded by a protective box, details in the description. Sensor was not

And the GoPro started detecting the free electrons before the sensor did.

​@@iverstaylot00Isn't the sensor also in the box? It looks like it's attached to the inside corner of the box.

@@techno1561 could be, not entirely sure. It seems to me like it's outside on a separate post, but I could be wrong

That's pretty normal. Doesn't permanently damage the camera till after a long while if it's a digital camera.

So BTW it is electronic BUT it is an “electron beam irradiator” an electron is a subatomic particle

@@AstronomyKid that's just what all the atomic particles want us to believe. You gotta do your own research, by going through an electron irradiator with a gopro strapped to your head.

@@daveyjoseph6058 who cares

well the gopro didn't but the counter did so imma pack a camera for wherever i go just in case

eh yes and no, it also sounds like a gas station at 3 am in the sticks

Sounds like it's pulsed. A capacitor may be storing a bit of energy and dumping it periodically into some kind of discharge tube probably. Like how old camera flash bulbs worked. Just doing it repeatedly many times a second.

it sounds like mains-AC frequency and is probably the power supply

That's what incredibly large amounts of AC power sounds like.

Yeah, i thought it was the power supply. Sounds like a loose coil on a beefy transformer.

the 7 segment display is toast

@@adityawalimbe4800 More like the electronics that drives it.

holy moly i thought that was just a bright orange protective case for something!

i wondered if the objects on the trolley ahead were incandescently hot, i didn't think of fluorescence at that color.

@@we4selradio591 More precisely, it is probably room temperature thermoluminescence. Indeed as I type this I see that there is an image of one Dr. Timothy Koeth from U Maryland Applied Physics holding one of the exact same kinds of specimens (iceland spar type manganocalcite) visible in this video irradiated at the very same facility, where they report that cooling the glowing calcite to 0C eliminates the luminescence entirely, and heating it to 110C reveals its maximum brightness. (search his name and calcite / thermoluminescence and you can read more about it). Why is this video so popular today?

What's funny about that?

That is apparantly a block of calcite. You can see it glow after it passed through the beam

The cutoff as he walks off hints that he just took it home@@bojohannesen4352

Buddy I think there's a lot of terrifying human creations you might need to catch yourself up on.

​@@KingRidley for me personally, this is terrifying. There's a lot of other terrifying things, but being killed by a machine in a cold manner is my personal nightmare fuel

@@56independent42 Does this fear stem from a personal experience by chance? Just curious because in our area we have a rather large wave pool and when I was about 12 or 13 I swam up to the wall that produces the wave and it was covered with a chainlink fence to keep you from being able to get near the machinery which is basically a bunch of toilet tank like baffles that air is blown into until they fill up to the point of collapse(flush) but when I realized it was right there in front of me and not further back along with the return current that seemed like it was trying to push/pull me in after each wave I panicked and ever since then I've feared anything machinery like underwater, but this thing is a close second.

personally i think there are more terrifying creations out there (like the iron maiden... not particularly whimsical and fun, that one!)

@@M8gazinethe good news is that there's no evidence iron maidens were ever actually used. Bad news is that people have been documented doing even worse anyway

Linear accelerators have been in use for cancer treatment for a long time, due to the fact the beam is switchable: no more radiation needed or a lower dosage, different pattern on the pattern window, all doable, and in the case of a linear accelerator much easier than with an isotope of whatever sort. (Not that isotopes have ceased to be used for cancer treatment at all, but they have started falling out of favor more and more). With a linear accelerator you only need a stupidly powerful stepup-conversion circuit room filled with step up transformers and other equipment to get to such a high voltage you can start to bombard particular metals on a plate with them to produce the desired radiation (it's sort of how X-ray machines work, just with a different type and wavelength of exposure, and typically with a lower amount of power). A hospital in my country that has specialized in cancer treatment mentioned that they favor the linear accelerator over isotopes because the hospital is right in the middle of a neighbourhood and sees military style lockdowns upon transportation of a new source into the hospital: the lobby has to be completely evacuated, streets get cordoned off and staff is evacuated from the floor that will eventually use the new source, and that's leaving out the transportation of said material to the hospital. I would not be surprised that due to the slightly more crude nature of a beam irradiation device the power generation required for it is ehm, a little less shielded and you are actually hearing the mains hum of all the step up transformers. My brother once applied for a job at the hospital I mentioned earlier for maintaining a linear accelerator, and said this about the power generation room: "Yeeea...it's good you can't see that when you are on the table, that alone would freak you out big time." Something he later extended to the part about the device covers: "You do not want to see the insulators the conductors are resting on...it's good that the thing has covers, it would make you feel incredibly uncomfortable otherwise").

Irradiators are probably the most common source of radiological accidents. Operators tend to get sloppy with the safety precautions, but that only really causes operator fatalities.

@@HenriFaust I suggest you read up on the Therac-25!

@@Orcinus24x5 Therac-25s got shut down after just a couple of years. There are only six documented accidents in total.

that is radiation hitting the sensor .. despite all the lead shielding.

Well... technically... yeah it was getting older by the second.

I am pretty sure, if person went through, he would die of old age right there!

​@@calsavestheworldThat has me cracking up. Most true statement

Gets so old that after it passes through the beam, everything has turned into black and white and rubber hose animation

The cameraman never dies.

Dead horse beating of a overused joke.

It was a gopro

@@Xsar1942 i like ur pfp

@@Xsar1942No way its a gopro, there is definitely a dude filming this through the electron beam irradiator

If it looks like anything, is it really instant?

It probably wouldn’t kill you instantly since the beam is a narrow band. If you went in feet first, you’d have a bad ten seconds, and the Neobeam employees would have a heck of a time cleaning all the organic contaminants off of the emitter.

No such thing. Death by radiation is generally months in hospital wishing for death.

@@Sam-pw6vi With a high enough dose, radiation can kill you instantly. Usually, something else kills you faster, like the heat and/or shockwave of the reaction. Only two such reactions have happened, and they each killed tens of thousands of people in the first day. This is an electron beam, though. It’s not quite the same as normal radiation, even as it’s causing X ray sparkles in the camera sensors

Your not getting instakilled by that you need to build a machine just to do that if you want

I was thinking the exact same thing...In a way, seeing how the particle counter on the left died, I'm not fully sure whether it might actually be a testament to designing electronics to survive interference (after all, remember the FCC rule that's on practically every device even when sold outside the US? "This device must accept all and every form of interference, even if that may cause undesired operation.") Completely unsure whether the design of components to withstand static electricity factors in here (I suspect it totally doesn't given the massive currents in such a beam) but still, remarkable. It could also just be the GoPro died a couple months later.

It was heavily shielded under lead and lead-glass. That should show you how terrifying that beam is. Some of that was gamma radiation, too.

its amazing that you didnt read the description of the lead shielding of the gopro

@@operationscomputer1478 dude, ya see that noise? This means that it's still getting heavily exposed

@@Seacat17 Heavily shielded doesn't mean fully shielded. Why do you think there is such a giant concrete maze leading into that machine? Still, it was shielded enough from direct energy to keep it alive.

Oh no, not again...

its exactly what id imagine a high powerful electron gun would sound like. Or a huge magnetron. like imagine being on that cart and seeing that coming at you.

You don't like the angry buzzing??

​@@RandoWisLuLThe demons are indeed angry.

😮 I think there's bees around that corner... ... oh thank God, not b-😵

Sounds more like it’s a big transformer hum which is powering the beam rather than the beam itself

Though this particular thing probably needs a rather massive power supply compared to the ones used on the average medical linear accelerator, I doubt it's very big. I was also quite stunned to see how small the 1,6 MV or so supply was on the accelerator at a hospital I got to see as part of a job interview once. Insulation, semiconductors and especially a lot of oil (that also cools everything) keep it remarkably small. I do remember the warning signs: I expected the general (and a bit stupid in such machines) 'Caution High Voltage' signs, but nope: multiple covers of the machine itself had it stated a 'bit different': LETHAL CURRENTS AND VOLTAGES INSIDE! DISCHARGE POWER SUPPLY FIRST AND TAKE MEASUREMENTS BEFORE REMOVING THIS COVER! DO NOT WORK ALONE! And then the technician who explained a few things about the machine just casually pointed his finger towards multiple components and even laid his hand on top of the cover when I leaned back a little in awe of what he did: 'Don't worry, it's safe. It needs to be safe. Just don't touch the glass of the wave guide, even though it should be safe to touch, we have found out by experience it can hold a nasty charge right after testing, haha!' The cameras inside the room where the patient would be for treatment, were overloaded with dead and hot pixels, most of them with an eerie blue or purple color, unlike anything I'd seen before. As the machine was rotating, you could just see that more radiation was hitting the sensor as the head was facing the ceiling. It was also a really weird feeling to start such a beast of a machine with just the press of a button on an RS232-interface... The only thing that really stuck with me was the feeling 'My god... I hope I never have to lie under such a thing...'

@@weeardguy that is really cool, accelerators are fascinating. I have always liked cyclotrons, first one was only a few inches in circumference.

@@fjs1111 I have never seen a cyclotron, just linacs ;) Impressive nonetheless, especially when you hear that getting a new machine in to the treatment-room via the anti-radiation maze has the forklift operator sweating with just an inch to spare on both side of the maze walls... And pressing the emergency shutdown switch button in the treatment room as part of the testing procedure also was not a simple 'click'. All kinds of alarms started to sound and the press itself created a large 'thud' from the main relays/switches opening to kill the HV power supply. Never got to work there, but I work at a very nice place now as well ;)

That wasn't beta sir that was gamma rays reacting with CCD of the camera and the silicon in the chips.

Uh? What? Go back to school. @@patrickradcliffe3837 It's definitely β radiation.

Delusional!

For those wondering he's referring to Anatoli Bugorski

Pov: you work at Chernobyl

@@Charted The liquidators they were called. Hired to clean all the radio active material and most of those people died that night or even within just a few hours of being exposed to radiation, In one documentary video they said if you were close enough to the reactor the radiation level is was so high it was approximate to almost 10,000 chest X-rays per minute, something like that. more then enough to kill you in 2 hours or less. at that rate the body would decay significantly right down too the bones

i didnt notice that. thats actually really funny

Well, I mean you die, but at least you have your hearing.

Look for. '' les irradiés de Forbach '' in france😢

stroggification

If you watch Plainly Difficult's video's you'd know those facilities at times have been entered by humans :P . Not sure if the power stage for the accelerator can be on without the beam being on but if it can and you have to remove a blockage of equipment, I think it's best to wear something, the power stage was humming agressively...

Phosphorescent. Phosphorescent materials continue to glow after the energy source is removed. Fluorescence ends immediately after the energy source is removed

@@jogandsp Where did you see it continuing to glow after being exposed? Edit: My bad, i see it now

Considering many of the things portrayed in that game have analog in the real world, makes you wonder who on the dev team at Valve worked or visited some of these labs...

Yeah, the Half-Life vibe is extremely strong in this video.

DOOOD I was thinkin that

I don't think it actually has to be using million volt anywhere, it's going to be some sort of staged accelerator. Or not?

@@Alexander-qz6px yeah, most likely a linear accelerator. Still, the power supply for whatever microwave tube (magnetron or klyston?) powers the accelerator must be quite scary. Beam is still by far the scariest part however!

@@Alexander-qz6px You can bet that it uses anything over hundreds of kilovolts...these linear accelerator style power stages are massive... (And I would not be surprised that the hum we hear is said powerstage).

@@inductivelycoupledplasma6207 Not sure about the tube, could be a big plate-style thing that they bombard with high voltage, but the power stage for a linear accelerator for cancer treatment already scared the shit out of my brother when he applied for a job as a maintainer of one and got a tour of the facility...

Its actually a RF based electrostatic accelerator (Dynamitron). Each stage is capacitively coupled to two large RF plates it has hundreds of plates in cascade similar to a Cockroft-Walton multiplier, one of the few ways to build practical MV power sources capable of delivering hundreds of KW. So yes It actually has a terminal with a potential of several million volts, all inside a pressurized tank full of sulfur hexafluoride.
