United Nuclear

Look no further than United Nuclear scientific supply where under their dangerous products category you can purchase your own radioactive uranium ore, as well as a two million volt generator if you need one. Or what mad scientist can do without his own particle accelerator (which they advertise can mutate DNA in seed, explore the atom, or simply transmute elements)"

Are they hiring...?

[warriorpostman]

I don't even know if these guys are on the up-and-up as it's already difficult to navigate their website... If they are legit...they would be added to the employment genre, of "ohmygod-whatacooljob-thatwouldbe". Here's a few of their products.

From the suspiciously cool ...

This device increases a vehicle's horsepower by an average of 23%. The system does not cause any damage to the engine, and only consumes about 2 amps of electrical power (about as much as your taillights use). The power increase is due to the introduction of large volumes of Ozone to the engine air intake.

...all the way to hehebeavis cool.

Typical "Stun Guns" are handheld devices that produce a high voltage shock to incapacitate an attacker. They have a big disadvantage of requiring you to be very close to the attacker to use them. Our "Water Taser" is a cross between a high output Stun Gun, and a small "Super Soaker" type water pistol. High voltage travels down the conductive water stream and incapacitates the attacker from a distance.

I gots to get me some of that.

Boy Scout Who Built A Breeder Reactor In His Shed

[RedSynapse]

Personally I think this site is a hoax and it's already been taken down.

But if you want to read a really good (and factual) article about a boy scout who built a breeder reactor in his back yard out of radioactive paint and old smoke detectors check out the Harper's magazine story here.

It's a long article but a great read.

Terrorist Honeytoken?

[RedSynapse]

A thought just occurred to me. I wonder if the goverment has set up any phony businesses like this as a type of terrorist honeytoken?

Just throw up some page on the web that says it sells unrefined uranium ore as a novelty or bulk amounts of chemicals used in making a conventional bomb or chemical weapon - no questions asked - and see who it is who's interested in buying these things.

If it we me, I'd create a site called ScienceSalvage.com. Sell a bunch of legit science junk, but then occasionally throw in that you just found a lot of powdered cyanide or an old cesium powered radiation treatment machine and see who's willing to shell out a fair chunk of change for something like that. If they eventually order you can just say sorry we already had another buyer and hadn't bothered to update the site. The next day white vans appear infront of the would be buyer's house.
