Nuclear Powered Heart 

My friends said we were going install Atomic Heart. Not actually install an atomically powered heart.

Them having “wireless charging” way back then and for something like a pacemaker, is insane

An elderly woman in my neigborhood died last year because her lithium battery pacemaker was getting depleted and doctors said she was too old to get a surgery to replace the pacemaker's battery, other than that she was in perfect health, she would still be around if she had a plutonium pacemaker.

I got my pacer/defibrillator back in 1993 and before then there were some with plutonium powered ones being used. It's my understanding they were discontinued for several reasons. I was happy that they were discontinued because you have to report your every move to the government. My 1st one was battery powered and recharged every three months. The other 4 were replace every 10 to 12 years.

This was a very interesting topic to cover. I had no idea there were nuclear powered pacemakers. It's crazy to think that Plutonium 238 was the safest option out of other radioisotopes. Usually you put a funny joke at the end, but it was actually a bit wholesome this time.

My grandmother had a pacemaker, even had the thing maintained a few times if my memory is correct. The day she died, her pacemaker stopped with her. We all thought it was rather poetic, and she was buried with it since well... it was depleted anyways.

This was actually super interesting. I never would have guessed such a small device could be powered by radioactive material.

for anybody interested, 2:49 is "Imagine the stress on patient's heart when he gets a nuclear pacemaker for his heart"

imagine outliving the inventor when you're the one with the heart problem

you know this channel is great when i tried to subscribe but found myself already subscribed 👌

"I AM BULLET PROOOOF"

"Still not as long lasting as the memory of when a girl complemented us " I feel you bro

... So they were ALREADY making Über hearts? Damn, medic must've told engi to build a time machine.

Came for nuclear powered pacemakers, got a history lesson on NASA's use of Plutionium batteries and how damn expensive they are.

imagine when your friends say "hey lets download atomic heart" THEN THEY INSTALL A ATOMIC POWERED HEART

1:18 This it's actually true punching someone in the chest can make a patient that it's having a abnormal heart rhythm to hopefully convert to a better rhythm.This is called the precordial thump, it can be used to convert the rhythm as I said before. It's used if you don't have a AED around (automatic external defibrilator).Most studies says that this doesn't help very much but it's better than nothing. It generates about 5-10 Joules of mechanical energy

I love your videos I look forward to them everytime !

So if you have a nuclear-powered pacemaker and a girl gives you a compliment, you become the 4th Chernobyl reactor. Interesting, needs further investigation.

Wow! This is so cool! I did not know that they actually used plutonium in pacemakers.

Haha last quote was good again. I always love that about Mr. Slav's videos not only informative but the humor on top of that. 😅❤

"Babe wake up, Mr Slav is bacc"

4:57 "It was a product of the process used to make nuclear weapons" 5:10 "USA has recently restarted production" Yeah, very good news

a buddy of mine has one, he’s maybe 19-20. a fake* weed cartridge killed him for 30 seconds (i believe) but he was successfully resuscitated, and now has one for the rest of his life for the full story: this was back in 2019-2020. i didn’t live in the greatest of areas at the time so if you didn’t go to a dispensary then you didn’t really know what you were getting (i live in NW Ohio so going to Michigan was fairly common, but not mainstream yet) he was standing by his back door; a glass sliding door; and blacked out and fell straight through it, yes, through the glass. he already had some health issues and the fake cart just finally did it, as i said he flatlined for 30ish seconds on the way to the hospital but was resuscitated, ultimately he needed a pacemaker. probably not a plutonium based one showcased in the video, but it’s still insane to me regardless. he’s alive and well thank fuck, would’ve been an awful way to die, especially at such a young age. *: fake could range anywhere from Pre-FDA regulation on Vitamin E Extract (and any other leading chemicals that caused health problems) or a flat out home-made (or tampered with) cart. nobody is quite sure and i doubt anyone remembers at this point. these were in the days of non-tamper-proof boxes, so mind you there wasn’t a way to be sure, you just trusted the guy

Very cool video again! I subscribed recently because i like the subjects you cover, physics, chemistry and some other interesting things! Keep going Slav!

Fun fact, close were i live is a company that produced such pacemakers, i wonder if there are still people out and alive with one of these

Nuclear heart person: *gets shot in the heart* City: *gets absolutely obliterated*

“Mom I want atomic heart” “We have atomic heart at home” *Atomic heart at home

2:26 that intimate mic moment had me laugh BWAHAHAHAHAHA I love your videos man!!

I'm fairly sure this is also what powers the Terminator.

Im 25 and am on my 4th pacemaker already. Kinda wish i can have a plutonium powered one, would be so much cooler!

Just in time for tonight's last video before bed, love the rebirth of the channel.

Ah yes, The Atomic Heart

Dude, I love your last quote at every video!!

(I Really think our best option for our Future, is Utilizing New Nuclear energy options) We should invest in modern advanced nuclear energy options. Small form reactors, LFTRs, Thorium Reactors, liquid reactors. Utilizing our advanced modern technology, engineering, material science. our greater understanding of safety measures and designs. More advanced computer technology, robotics, It will really allow any nation to be pretty much be energy independent. Less reliant on fossil fuels. They'll have efficient, stable electrical grids and the rest of the grid could experiment with alternative power sources, etc. We need to heal from the trauma of our past and see that it happened solely from Us not understanding what we were doing, not having advanced enough technology, material science, engineering, safety measures, understanding of how to go about everything, etc. This source of energy will greatly help the world improve towards the future and lowering emissions more than anything else could while having a very stable electrical grid system. Currently we have alternative energy options but the majority of our grid is powered off of fossil fuels and emission producing sources of energy. We will be so much better going forward commiting to modern advanced nuclear energy options. It baffles me. Even tho Society is struggling, We are yet to even attempt to implement a concept around: "The better off the lowest income people are doing; The better off the rest of our countries economy could be doing." -Think of it like a ecosystem in nature. The least important little things might seem meaningless and insignificant yet, if they crumbled away, the entire ecosystem would crumble. The last things remaining would be the top diverse predators that eat everything else.. until they eat each other.. leaving just a few top sharks in the ecosystem.. the whales would all be gone once the plankton crumble away, the sharks would eat the whales. Then once all that's left is sharks, the sharks would eat the sharks. *(Think of this but as a analogy for our economy and our modern day society..) If we instead decided to support the lowest people in the ecosystem, there would be a beneficial systematic dispersion towards other aspects of society benefiting. All because the lowest people would be flourishing. I say flourish but I really just mean, able to obtain the most basic essential living standards... Yet even that would Vastly improve our current state of our economy & society *Also imagine this analogy in our economy. The more help we invest in the lowest level people, the more it would trickle into every facet of our economy. If poor people can pay their rent & not go homeless: landlords would get $, businesses would get $, banks would get $, local small shops would get $, mortgages & bills could be paid, insurance companies would get $, Taxes would get $, So essentially that $ would go out & filter right back in to improve our Country while simultaneously improving our quality of Life. Every bit of the economy would somehow find a way to benefit off of this situation... I don't get why we haven't even Given it a chance?? If it doesn't help? Then by all means stop it and figure out what problems we could be facing might be one's that run way deeper than expected and that would take drastic changes to improve that situation... (I hope we TRY something soon, before things get any more unstable. The worst thing we could do is continue on doing exactly what we are currently doing. It might get to a point where overcoming our struggles could simply become a pipedream. I don't want it to get to that)

1:20 “…punch him to unalive him…” I believe its un-unalive

Loving you channel Mr Slav, your commentating is very soothing

The end of some videos really got me🤣

oppenheimer stalking from the corner: i need that uranium

Forgot you existed was binging your videos and was getting sad cuz I finished the last video and boom you uploaded! Gave me a bit of a laugh

good work bro! just subbed!

this is cool as hell thank you for showing this to me

damn this is the real atomic heart experience

I really enjoyed the video, thank you

I started watching this guy yesterday and I'm already hooked to his content, I learn more than i do in school from these videos!

I love your videos keep it up

Nice a nuclear reactor permanently in your heart, that actually is kinda cool

let's go mr slav uploaded

Every last part of his videos he says something funny and i absolutely LOVE that

I loved the little joke at the end, really is relatable

That stare at the end was really sad/weird at the same time

my great-grandmother had this nuclear powerd heart device.It was planted in 2016.She died in 2020.As i know,she must be a very lucky person to have this heart.

Literally the definition of atomic heart.

I love this channel 😍 and very informative keep it up brother 👍🔥

4:03 so it generates electricity via temp difference and also you should do a video about why the pacemaker is sensitive to some EM waves

7:19 It wasn't a complement, but it was a hug from a few years before I graduated from High School

my favorite slavic youtuber

man i always love his end of the video jokes

in case anyone for some reason was wondering what the song was around 4:25, it is space waves by ben elson

-hold on, i gotta put more plutonium for my heart real quick

yea the last part was truly relatable

I wish I could have an atomic pacemaker, well they say "be careful what you wish for", but with one I would feel like I dont have to worry about my heart's health as much.

Ah yes... My favourite science channel...

thank you!!!!

Plz make videos on universe and unsolved stuff

Cool stuff

Hi slav Plz make a video on how universe works

This is crazy, never heard of it lol

Interesting to see planned obsolescence in pacemaker tech.

I am very keen to learn about nuclear things from Mr slav

bruh your last lines hit different

Not sure I'd want lithium inside my body, especially so close to the heart...

my braincells when i saw the thumbnail: it could be in this very room

yeahhhh mr slav

It’d be cool if we put the casing of one of these after taking care of the power source after 1 of those 9 eventually dies

hold on bro, i gotta recharge my heart

I actually learned this 3-4 years ago when i was doing research about RTGenerators (the scientific name for these batteries) which i learned from mindustry

I can call myself as a alien will I be afraid that's kinda dangerous

The last joke usually breaks me up😄😄

"Nano machcines son"

"There are up to 9 people out there with nuclear powered hearts". my first thought was TF2

Very cool content

Imagine having a nuclear heart and it makes your spit immediatly radioactive. lol

DOCTOR ARE YOU SURE THIS WILL WORK I HAVE NO IDEA

Can you do a vid Abt wunderwaffen (btw keep up the good work you are my favorite RU-vidr)

Hey bro, my heart is canonically powered by nuclear radiation. I can also survive a gunshot aimed at my heart! Bro: The hell are you on?

I play with myself to these types of videos

“And my main goal is to blow up”

if that Pacemaker using uranium, that would be called Peacemaker

i came home from school and new video noice

i dont even care about the content, ima just turn one of his videos on loop because his voice is so satisfying.

1:19 💀(this emoji does not express about me being dead, but yes the fact that i throught this part very much funny.)

I like to imagine that the thumbnail was indicating that only 9 people have a glowing ball in their chest

This is not the Godzilla origin story I was prepared for.

I guess my grandma is out there walking with a nuclear powered heart.

Ok now we wait for the robo ballerinas to exist

Never lose your accent my man

Now thats my answer to my question i thought peacemakers needs to be charged

chould be just me but 80 years seems more then 15 years.

pretty astonishing that they had wireless recharging at that time

"Nuclear-Machine, son."
