Homer J Simpson Talking Radioactive Desk Tidy (HS001)
£9.99 inc UK
p&p
If your desk looks like the aftermath of a small atomic
explosion then Homer Simpson can help, with this Talking Toxic Waste Desk Tidy.
The irrepressible Homer J Simpson is relaxing against a barrel of radioactive waste - it's OK - it's empty and there's plenty of room for your writing implements, it could even be a handy holder for your pen dosimeter...
Press the button, cunningly disguised as a pool of spilt waste and hear
Homer’s thoughts on the matter of radioactive incidents with such immortal
phrases as ‘Explosion Imminent’, 'What’s an eltdown?’ and ‘I think you’ll find
escape is quite impossible’.
It’s the perfect gift for nuclear safety
techicians, of all abilities, and anyone else looking for a colourful home for
their pens and pencils…
The desk tidy is powered by three readily available
G13 button cells (these are included) and it measures approximately 120mm
diameter by 140mm high.
Here is a fun addition to our Nuclear Novelties range: This
super-loud Wireless Nuclear Doorbell announces visitors with 3 randomly
selected warnings (‘Attention, Attention, someone has pressed the doorbell,
please remain calm’..Click below to hear a short clip). The base unit is based around the
standard yellow and black warning nuclear warning symbol and the yellow panels
flash when the remote doorbell button is pressed. It works at a distance of
approximately 20 metres and comes with a full set of batteries (3xAA and 1x23A)
and a fixing kit.
It is really easy to install – no wiring required - and,
once activated will it will certainly put an end to the perennial question:
‘Was that the doorbell?’ Dimensions: 20x19x1cm, weight approx 0.454kg.
Deep inside the crystal
clear resin casting is a small number of Trinitite fragments. This is the
actual material created by the very first atomic bomb blast in the New Mexico
Desert in the early hours of July 16th1945. The sand beneath the bomb site was
fused into a strange green glass-like compound by the explosion. Over the years
it has lost almost all of its radioactivity and the dense resin blocks any
residual emissions. The fragments are suspended over a reproduction of the US
army map of the test site.
This is another anythingradioactive exclusive.
Trinitite from the test site is no longer allowed to be removed, so this is
a rare and possibly unrepeatable opportunity to own a little piece of history
from the Atomic age. Each paperweight measures approximately 65mm x 25mm,
backed with green felt and supplied with an information sheet about Trinitite
and the Trinity test.
Each one of our Trinitite paperweights is hand-made and unique and the size and number of the particles will vary from that shown
Uranium Marbles Paperweight (P001) and free torch £12.99, inc UK p&p
OUT OF STOCK
This original, exclusive and
totally unique paperweight comprises a cylinder of crystal clear resin with
three Vaseline Glass ‘Uranium’ marbled embedded deep inside, backed with the
distinctive ‘Trefoil’ radioactivity emblem. Vaseline Glass contains trace
amounts of Uranium and when exposed to Ultra Violet light they emit an eerie
green glow. You will receive a UV torch with your order so you can see this
truly bizarre effect for yourself.
The miniscule amounts of radioactivity these
marbles emit -- well within international safety limits and below that of the
natural background radioactivity of some areas -- is safely contained by the
resin. Measuring approximately 60mm x 25mm, each felt-backed paperweight is
hand cast and individually numbered; they are only available from
anythingradioactive and will be produced in very small numbers so they could
become a real collector’s item in years to come.
Mini
Radium Watch Hand Paperweight & UV Torch (P002)
£9.99
inc UK p&p
These
exquisite miniature paperweights feature two Radium-painted watch hands,
encapsulated in crystal clear resin. One is a genuine antique, probably made
between the turn of the last century and the 1930s, the other is a NOS (new old
stock) hand, a spare part, never used and possibly made in the late 50s or 60s.
The radium paint used in their manufacture is only mildly radioactive, and securely contained by the resin
(though weak emissions may still be detected using highly sensitive instruments, like our
Dual Probe geiger counters).
Roll mouse over picture to see it glow.
There are two to choose from, one hemispherical
in shape, measuring 30mm in diameter by 12mm thick; the other is rectangular
and measures 40 x 30 x 4mm. Both types come with one of our aluminium UV
keyring torches (complete with batteries), so you can see the hands glow in the
dark.
That’s right, the unique Nite Glowring is powered by
radioactivity and will emit a glow that can be seen from 30 feet away for up to
10 years. It’s perfect for finding your keys in the dark and an absolute must
for campers – no more playing hunt the zip… Doubtless you can think of 1001
other uses, but hey, it’s just amazing to watch, and great fun under the bed
sheets -- run your mouse over the picture for a demo. Don’t forget, there are no batteries to buy, ever, and it’ll still be
glowing strong ten years from now. That’s a whole decade’s worth of atomic
illumination for just over £1 a year!
Here’s the science bit. Embedded inside the tough
polycarbonate capsule is a tiny glass tube called a Gaseous Tritium Light
Source (GTLS – there’s more info HERE). Inside
the tube is a minute amount of radioactive Tritium gas and as it disintigrates
Beta particles (essentially footloose electrons) are emitted that causes luminous
material on the inside of the tube to glow – it's a bit like an old style CRT TV
picture tube. The particles do not leave the glass tube (they can only travel 1
– 3 mm in air and certainly cannot penetrate human skin).
Not suitable for children under 5 due to possible choking hazard
Atomic Robot Man Collectable (ARM 001) £11.99, inc. UK p&p.
Introducing Atomic Robot Man, anythingradioactive’s newest
recruit. Prepare to be amazed! Wind him
up and watch him go – as he spreads nuclear mayhem. Entirely clockwork - no batteries required - just make sure you don’t lose the key! A
must for collectors.
Atomic Robot Man, standing a mighty 13.5cm and weighing in
at 90g, is a faithful reproduction of the original Japanese 1940s wind up
tin toy, thought to be the second toy robot ever made. Even the box is an
excellent copy of the original.
This
model is made of painted tin and there are some sharp edges and small
components so it must not be given to small children and kept well out of their
reach.
(SP01) £21.99 and (SP02), £25.99 both including UK

Don’t worry, these 50-year-old
Firestone spark plugs are no longer radioactive and are perfectly safe to own
and handle. The Polonium 210 used in the electrodes was supposed to improve
engine performance and fuel consumption (apparently it didn’t…) but it had a
short ‘half life’ of just 138 days, which means that three years after they
were made all of the radioactivity had disappeared and turned into a non-radioactive isotope of lead.
These spark plugs were manufactured
in the USA by Firestone in the1940s and are one of a very small quantity that
was recently discovered in an auto parts store. They have never been used and
come with their original cardboard box, which will be included.
We have two types, the T-30 on the right (order code SP01) and the
larger M-120 (order code SP02) and they have been carefully mounted inside beautifully made domed
glass presentation cases with turned and polished hardwood bases, capped with
green felt, to protect your surfaces. The domes are approximately 95 and 120mm
high, the bases are 60 and 65mm in diameter. In addition to the original box and
its packing you will also receive a reproduction of the Firestone information
leaflet supplied with these spark plugs.. The actual spark plugs are in
excellent to as-new condition, they have not been damaged in any way and could
be removed from the mount and used for their intended purpose (the T-30 fits
some late 1940’s Chevys) should you so desire.
The condition of the cardboard
boxes vary as they are now well over half a century old and some are a little
frayed around the edges but we will endeavour to supply the best ones, on a
first come first served basis..(NB: we only have T-30 boxes) Once our small stock has been sold
there will be no more so don’t miss this incredibly rare opportunity to own a
piece of automotive history and WW II memorabilia, with macabre contemporary
overtones.
Not everything that ticks is radioactive. The face
of this stylish and very trendy wall clock is a Radioactive Category III
warning sign and swinging to and fro underneath on the pendulum is the classic round
‘trefoil’ radioactivity symbol. The diamond shaped clock face measures 200 x
200mm and uses a high quality quartz movement with integral hanging hook and it
will run for around a year on a single AA cell. As usual the design is exclusive to anythingradioactive; these
clocks are hand built and will be produced in very limited numbers so hurry,
time is running out…
The dial on this stylish wall clock is based on a scan of an actual CDV700 Cold War Geiger Counter meter. It's another anythingradioactive exclusive and the glass fronted silver finished case measures 15.5cm in diameter by 4cm thick. It is fitted with a highly accurate quartz movement with satin finsh metal hands and a single AA cell should power it for around a year..
There’s been a lot of talk aboutAtomic Clocks recently – this has got
absolutely nothing to do with that!It’s just a stylish analogue quartz controlled wristwatch with the
classic trefoil radiation warning symbol emblazoned across its 35mm face. It’s
fitted with a soft leather strap and includes a long-life battery.
Boxed Vintage Polonium Spark Plug (SP03) £25.99

It’s okay, this 50-year-old
Firestone T-30 spark plug is no longer radioactive and is perfectly safe to own
and handle. The Polonium 210 used in the electrode was supposed to improve its
performance (apparently it didn’t…) and it had a short ‘half life’ of just 139
days, which means that three years after it was made it had all disappeared and
turned into non-radioactive lead.
It was manufactured in the USA by
Firestone in 1945 and is one of a very small quantity that was recently
discovered in an auto parts store. They have never been used and come with
their original cardboard box. These have been carefully mounted inside a
custom-made glass-fronted, wooden display case (17.5 x 22.5 x 3.8 cm -- size and finish may vary slightly) along with a
reproduction of an original Firestone information leaflet as a backdrop. The
cardboard box and plug are both in excellent condition, they have not been
damaged in any way and could be removed from the case and used for its intended
purpose (the T30 fits some late 40’s Chevys) should you so desire.
Once our small stock has been sold there will be
no more so don’t miss this incredibly rare opportunity to own a piece of
automotive history and WW II memorabilia, with macabre contemporary overtones.

About Vaseline Glass
Vaselineor Uranium Glass has a yellow green hue in
daylight and fluoresces bright green under Ultra-Violet light. Production of Vaseline glass in Britain began in 1835 and ceased by the end
of the WWII, but a small amount is still manufactured in the
USA and Czech Republic.
About Trinitite
Trinitite, named
after Project Trinity, started life as desert sand underneath the explosion of
the first Atomic bomb
About our Paperweights
Our paperweights are not mass-produced. Each one is individually cast and hand finished and, therefore,a one-off product. The exact size may vary and they may contain very minor imperfections but we believe this adds to their character and uniqueness.
