No, not radioactive, but it does accumulate in your bones! Cool!  :think:

From Wikipedia:

Quote
Precautions

The compound ruthenium tetroxide, RuO4, similar to osmium tetroxide, is volatile, highly toxic and may cause explosions if allowed to come into contact with combustible materials.[46] Ruthenium plays no biological role but does strongly stain human skin, may be carcinogenic[47] and bio-accumulates in bone.

I wonder what happens if two Porche Wengers get too close together? :ahhh

It bloody ought to!

I will admit freely that it looks amazing, as do the other PD things you see like kettles, toasters etc. But, I could get 2 brand new Charge TTis for that kind of cash!

Still a wonderful thing though, I am jealous cliosguy ;)

No, you're not.   I have one of the Porsche Design PTCs,  even though I'm more of a Prius kind of guy.

Think we'll see a "Prius Design" series some day?
