"I created this glass table top using recycled glass and and some depleted uranium glass powder. Uranium glass is also known as vaseline glass. There are two desktops with dimensions 2’ x 10’ and 2’ x 8’. These desktops have stainless steel stands and are illuminated by black lights from underneath."Title link takes you to the source with some more info. MOOG Voyager and? via miah
Very cool or hot ! i hope it's not too hot. i Believe that is a Prophet 600 on the right
ReplyDeleteGood but take a look at LEC tecnology (Light Emitting Capacitor).
ReplyDeleteYou can have light emitting tables !
treated walls + glass tables = 0
ReplyDeleteSomeone's gonna get cancer...
ReplyDeleteThanks, I made the glass table.
ReplyDeleteThere is no need to worry about the table being "hot" with radiation or getting cancer. There is less than a gram of uranium per 1000lbs of uranium glass. and there is less than 1lb of uranium glass casted into the table. There is absolutely no danger of radiation.
In fact there are many things in someones house hold that put of more radiation including some drinking water.
The way this user will get cancer from using my tables will be from them smoking in their studio while toiling endlessly on the moog , and conversing with their clients on their cell phone.
The problem with using LEC technology is its half life. It tends to become less bright with time. I have used it before. but always needs replacing. If you own a moog voyager. you have used LEC before and you know another problem with it. It is noisy! with a very harsh 16khz + hum. Oh yeah and the RF frequencies it puts out.
LED technology does seem to be the best solution for lighting in studios where noise can be a problem.
I have using Neon technology for lighting in the studio. however there is RF problems with neon as well. But I have developed techniques of shielding the rf.
Uranium glass is not dangerous. People stopped using uranium for glass because it is expensive nowadays! Back in the 1920s, 1930s however, the only thing Uranium was useful for was making good glass, so it was cheap. You can still buy lots of antique glassware make with uranium, and no one is dropping dead of cancer from using it.
