Beryllium for pots, bowls, and cups

[rick .]

I’ve been involved in a soils remediation project where the carcinogen in question was beryllium.

I’m not drinking out of that.

But to answer your question, it’s a strength-to-weight product, but can you make those tubes thinner to become a pot?

Maybe make a hobo stove, like the ikea one.  I dunno.  Not sure those tubes have a myog function  (still cool)

I think that running these experiments are fine.  It is a great way to collect knowledge and move ideas forward.  Perhaps even opening up a markets for some XULers and boutique users.

“With the modern safety controls in place less than 10% of beryllium workers have issues”.

If the above statement is true, I wouldn’t want to handle or machine this stuff.  In my last product, we used beryllium to make windows for our X-Ray products.  We had to go through a lot of training to handle and assemble these parts.  A 10% issue looks like a roll of the dice to me.  No thanks.

10% is 10% too much…
