+Doctor Boo? That is essentially the plan. :D I'm gonna get my PhD in optics and will get to do research along the way...and I'll likely get to play with a lot of cool lasers then!
+styropyro Nope, the first guy noticing you wowing around a laser will recommend you for not prolonging your working contract. Ever noticed why most scientists seem to be rather reserved people? You will find out why. For example you have Wikipedia, you know that yag lasers like this produce a lot ozone and you can read what ozone does to your body. Yet you choose to ignore it and fire one up in a closed room. You can read about the reflection of UV radiation on metal surfaces, such as soda cans, yet you ignore it and fire one at a cylindrical shape to make sure it hits everyone in the room. Science is a small club and you can pay for an PhD without getting an invitation. And do not think working as a postgraduate disproves that, everyone gets a positive feedback while offering cheap labor with no benefits. Change and start doing your research. Also delete these videos before you apply for jobs in companies, they are a reason to not let you go near an industrial lab, seriously. Best of luck.
Ooh.... If it's strong enough to ionize air, pulsing it through a suitably strong electrical field ought to initiate a discharge along its path in the same way that dropping a wire filament into the field would. Congrats on your 0.2 M subs!
You are an awesome and inspirational guy. I wish I had a fraction of your passion for...well anything. Your videos always make me smile :) I can see you landing a TV show or something one of these days
congrats on your milestone and I want to say that your video are becoming better and better over the years I been watching your vids for 3 years sooo hope you hit 500000 subs!
Just saw your video styro, I didn't know you guys had an Erbium YAG. I made a ruby laser a while back, and refurbed a few, neodymium YAG is next on the list! :)
I just watched most of your videos and subscribed. I think this stuff is so cool. I am a total noob at all the laser stuff. Could you make a video explaining it all. I don't care if it is really long. I would honestly have a super excited moment is you dm'd me but I shouldn't get my hopes up. I wish you the best and would love to get into lasers. Have a good one.
Awesome video. I once accidentally shorted a 1200v cap while trying to repair my microwave oven. That was scary. So yeah, probably not a good idea to poke those monster caps.
@@Calthecool hmm ive seen the left over glow of IR on my webcam when i was recording a piece of metal cooling off,it shows as a pinkish violet(magenta) color but here in the vid it looks blue,,so you saying it depends on how each cam translates the color but it still is able to see it but our eyes dont right?

This guy could start a weapons manufacturing company.
this is an email i sent you a couple months ago, couldn't seem to get a reply, I have been obsessed with all things laser since a few years ago when an old alarm clock blew up on me. I am a freshman in high school and was wondering if you could help me/ mentor me in the world of lasers. I love your videos and find them quite useful. I know the dangers and responsibilities of owning and operating a laser. How do you find all the time and resources to make the lasers? Do you have any tip for making lasers?
huh it's funny if you could get an even stronger version and find a power supply to power it, a literal laser assault riffle maybe would'n be so far off in the end
yes and where do you buy it? i read about you in my popular science magazine and have been a long time subscriber! also eventually i will get a microwave to build an invisible microwave cannon!
in my opinion you should have arround 500k becouse your videos are great and you put some work in them instead of other youtubers that have 1M and don't do anything....not even read that stupid comment ....(i really wanted to start TH-cam myself but i don't have camera and PC to edit it....uhh)
+speedy hedgehog The biggest issue would probably be getting enough batteries on a drone to power a good laser while keeping it light enough to still fly. That and focusing the beam would be difficult with the source moving around constantly.
+The6double with all the GPS technology out there on these drones I'm sure he would just have to mount the laser where the camera is typically stabilized. just a thought.
+mamoose91 True, especially with camera stabilization technology being what it is today. The biggest problem would then be having enough power stored upon the drone.
Too bad some people choose to ignore the fact you do take precautions and safety measures, and you know what you're doing. Just because he doesn't have it on camera doesn't mean it's not there. We even see you wear protective eyewear for example, yet some people still complain about the laser reflecting and such. Oh well.
hi i make Tesla coils for a hobby,i have always been looking for a way to direct the lightning tried a nubm44 laser diode no effect whatsoever,you have me thinking now would that yag laser do it hmm.
If we already have something like this, why are we not yet using lazer weapons? I mean, what you've got is a crude, home made version. Wouldn't someone be able to figure out how to weaponize that real quick?
The power needed and the divergence of the laser are the some of the limiting factors. Also it would take to long to kill someone with it any ways. A bullet takes a second while this would have to burn through skin, flesh, and bones. Plus to combat it soldiers would only have to reflective enough material to bounce it back.
Could you send me a diagram of the controller interface that you made I have a similar laser in my shed with a Kaiser systems psu that I have no idea how to control? At this point any help would be greatly appreciated
i think i got myself into a bit of a mess. i bought a laser off ebay 1w to 1.5w 445nm 5.6mm and it says dont exceed 1.7A with a comfortable amperage of 1.25A all it came with was the diode, lens, and 6 inches of iridium wire. i know i need a driver and a heatsink but what kind of batteries do i need and where i can get the heatsink and driver for cheap. i can probably make my own driver but on the rest of the stuff im lost. please help.
+speedy hedgehog yes it's true, but on the other hand if you build something that LOOKS like it, imagine how many cosplayers will tap dat ass if you went to comic-con...
@@EXYZ3 the beam is simply diffracting off the smoke particles it is not actually ionizing them nor the air not in a whole beam section that would make it megawatts of power to do that so this laser is not invisible , sometimes if you focus the beam in the air it may be intense enough to lase or ionize the nitrogen present in the air and you would see what you are talking about but the whole beam here is visible so either it is a very powerful laser or a visible one but most likely this is light from the flash lamp as part of it also emerges as a beam from the cavity
This laser looks a lot similar to the sapphire laser that Applied Science showed a few weeks ago. Very cool!
I like how you have a cylinder head and a header on your coffee table.
I love how enthusiastic he is. You can tell he does what he loves, not for making money.
That's too much power for one person.
+MillsProductions
Hope you use it for good.
+MillsProductions just wait 20 years from now when he builds a fucking death star laser.
Robert Oppenheimer controlled the first successful nuclear bombs. I somehow don't think this is even remotely too much power.
Congrats on 200K! You sir....are the man now officially.
I saw you uploaded a new video and I screamed, "I love this kid!"
I was waiting for you to say "Now let's try putting my hand in front of it..."
DUDE U SHOULD GO TO A PROFESSIONAL SIENCE LAB AND JUST INVENT NEW LASERS OR EXPERIMENT WITH THEM! P.s ur an amazing human being :D
+Doctor Boo? That is essentially the plan. :D I'm gonna get my PhD in optics and will get to do research along the way...and I'll likely get to play with a lot of cool lasers then!
+styropyro Good luck :)
+styropyro that is awesome, hope you show us some things when it happens.

+Doctor Boo? stole my comment right out from under me. How'd you know I was gonna say this a week before I knew I was gonna say it?
If one of your experiments with these lasers goes totally haywire like in a comic book, you would make an awesome superhero/villain.
Hey styropyro I love your vids so awesome keep up the good job and I wish you get 1m subscribers
He is almost there.
He's neither at 2 mil now

Congrats on your 0.2 M subs!
At the focus there is a high electric field in the beam, this could induce high pulsed voltage in a copper or stainless steel plate.
Thanks for the shoutout!!!
Brain storm: Three of these lazers converging through a prism, and as to make the focal point is as far away as possible. BOOM. LAZER SNIPER RIFLE.

Wow that was awesome keep up the good laser work. Giant fan by the way...
You have to be my favourite ever TH-camr
As someone who works with lasers professionally this video makes me extremely tense. Hitting an aluminum can with a yag laser.. yeesh
I love your work dude
This is how the Villain in Moonraker got started - ha ah ha Another good movie to watch would be "Real Genius" - we came a long way....
Nice work man. I am amazed that you are preparing your own Q-switching?! 99.9% of people don't even know what it means...
CAr parts on the coffee table, yeah! I like it.
If you don't have your silver TH-cam play button already, you'll be getting it soon.
The military uses Nd:YAG. You should try one of those.
How many deadly, overpowered, and awesome laser tasers do you have now?
Awesome video. I once accidentally shorted a 1200v cap while trying to repair my microwave oven. That was scary. So yeah, probably not a good idea to poke those monster caps.
if its invisible then why do i see the beam in the smoke?

this one u cant, it's too big
u cant get the power nor the force to lift it out of a drone
"ooh it's on fire"
why dnt u try the hydogen filled ballons ................. wheater they catch fire or not

dude whats your favorite supply source ?
hi i make Tesla coils for a hobby,i have always been looking for a way to direct the lightning tried a nubm44 laser diode no effect whatsoever,you have me thinking now would that yag laser do it hmm.
Does anyone know how possible it would be to compact this down to a reasonable size?
did you sold some lasers?
cant you make it into a consistent beam?
I am waiting for a freaking lightsaber
Comming in 2030
Why does it have to fire in little bursts?
Why can it have a constant light
If we already have something like this, why are we not yet using lazer weapons? I mean, what you've got is a crude, home made version. Wouldn't someone be able to figure out how to weaponize that real quick?

We are using laser weapons. It turns out they're slightly less useful than a bullet.
+Devious G. I'm almost embarrassed I didn't think of those reasons lmfao.
Sounds like a machine gun. Trying to compare it to something NOT dirty.
Where does one even learn how to do this?
Could you send me a diagram of the controller interface that you made I have a similar laser in my shed with a Kaiser systems psu that I have no idea how to control? At this point any help would be greatly appreciated

pls make an Laser on a quadrocopter drone
if its invisible then why am i seeing the beam at 1:30? or is that just an illusion from the flashlamp rays finding there way out of the cavity?

how much does it cost in materials and how do you make a 3W "lightsaber" like in that vid 4 months ago?
+Ender Squid It's maybe about $250, there are a few videos on youtube that tell you how to make a laser
Could you do one without the flashing?
it doesn't flash in real life, the wavelength was picked up on the camera.
Fat Boi Just like a remote! That makes sense!
U should put a laser on a drone it would be so cool at night
Why doesn't the military use lasers as weapons?
+Clockwork621 Because its must be short range to be powerful and you must have a big laser to kill, also it tells other enemy your location
how to build ?
do you feel an impact when the laser hits an object which youre holding in your hand?
It's light, not matter.
