love your stuff man
God you gonna need some of that after the amount of mosquito bites you were getting, nvm it would be a bit scummy to take that bag, but still it was prob painful
BetterHelp has been sponsoring A LOT of youtube videos after it came out that they sell your confidential medical data to advertisers.

i see BetterHelp, i stop watching, dislike, unsubscribe. do your research, Allen.
You've really achieved something when you make styropyro call something cursed and act genuinely afraid of something.
My man scared the dude that makes war crimes in his basement and chases tornados
Allen looked genuinely frightened when he was looking for light leaks!
It's like the moment that his inner self staved off to prevent the tipping into lunacy, mad beyond any stopping the development of absolutely unreal lasers and beam weapons culling a new age of warfare as he ascends a mountain of bones for he hath devoured all

Well done allen, you've officially scared styropyro
Didn't think it was possible 😂😂

It's weird hearing him talk like a human and not an AI voice program lol
Haha 😂
Cool idea here to make this more effective:
1.) Make the square larger, much larger. About the size of a 2x2 canvas.
2.) Weld or attach a hanging hook to two sides of it. Make sure they are opposite.
3.) Change the press and hold button to an "on/off" switch.
4.) Grab some chains, go out on your deck, and center the square in between the railing and the wooden beam directly above it, drill the ends of the chain into both sides, and stretch them taut. Itll hold the square in place and upright.
5.) Get a cheap Lasko fan with an extendable base, a 16 inch or so would be fine, and place it in front of the grid on the deck, as close as you can to the lasers themselves. Face the fan towards you and away from the grid, and turn that sucker on.
It'll create a suction vortex that will grab any mosquitoes and other flying pests that wander too close to the grid, and suck them through.
Also, you don't need to worry about attracting them. My theory is that the lasers will transfer heat to the metal square, through the mirrors over time. And they will transfer heat to the mirrors themselves.
Mosquitos can see thermal energy with their eyes (how they determine if something is alive and has pumping blood), so they will likely see the mirrors and metal being heated up, and fly on in to check it out.
You have yourself an automated, laser grid, mosquito zapper.
Mosquitoes detect humans thanks to CO2.
@@bogoulbog6964they likely have sensor fusion: heat in the correct range of intensities / wavelengths + motion pattern + co2 + time-alligned fluctuation of those factors, maybe some organic shape traits and / or visibke spectrum info. I've never seen a mosquito try to bite an inanimate object even if it had the right temp.
GENERAL Kenobi you are a bold one
lol using a vacuum cleaner with a fairly huge nozzle would just do
Fucking mad lad
The chaos and fails in this project are just perfect. Love seeing your creative engineering work and having fun with it! 👏🔥
noice
bruh X you are everywhere
I'm really glad you got adult supervision for this project
Bruh literally got junior supervision 💀
Nah the way styropyro lives you have to count his like dog years
he got like 40 years of work expirence...
What
I tend to count his lifespan in dog years too
He's acctuall surprised the mozzies don't want to be barbequed by laser beams. LOL They haven't survived for millions of years for nothing.
When Styropyro says it’s cursed, it’s *really* cursed
Q
Ong
Yep
The moment he said "this is cursed," eeyup, you've got something CURSED!
the minute he started building it I felt it was sketchy af, the cancer cheese guy just confirms it.
Remember kids betterhelp sells your info
I just want to hang out with these guys some day. Their energy is contagious
I love how these three creators are slow descending from "Well intentioned backyard inventors" to straight up "Mad scientist villian origin story in the making".
well, last I checked Styropyro always was a mad scientist, just a garage mad scientist last I checked lol.
And that's why I want to be on their Patron supporters list.
They arent slow descending. They are rapidly accelerating at speeds unimaginable 😂
Thats how it starts.
I can't wait until they discover magnetism
I’ve never had this much fear for a man’s safety since I found an Australian “maker” channel
I did a thing?
@@Am_Cookie2436 explosions and fire
Like MrGreen
its horrifying how little that narrows it down
Yeah, this seemed like a really dangerous and "unnecessary invention".
I'm all for it though.
if you could build servo mounted mirrors that create a fan pattern pointed away from you, with the laser being guided quickly back and forth within that fan pattern you might be able to get the bugs from an armchair 5 feet away.
1:03 yes very true
When you make Styropyro nervous you're on the right track
I love when TH-cam scientists team up to scare the crap out or each other
it is a terrifying thing of beauty
That scene from resident evil kept me up staring at the clock on my wall for a full hour when I was about 12 years old, long with the rest of the movie which also terrified me
5:52 the backdoor scientist 🤣🤣 *its Kevin the backyard scientist*
Tbh, Allen's laser grid fly swatter was cool af but I think Styro's tesla gun was much more effective at dispatching insect swarm than waving around a death star racket.
scp approved
a fan + some fire would do it. probably just need a fan + 2 candles to heat up a pipe perhaps.
@@rgw5991I dont think he wants to burn down his house
the mistake is making it a racket and hitting the mosquitos, mosquitos are parasites and they can sense when we exhale, they actually find living things by sensing co2 when we exhale and they even look for the angle the co2 is moving because its always exhaled at a similar angle in most mammals, so they look for co2 moving downward at certain angles and also heat, that is how they are so good at finding us, you can actually buy mosquito traps that emulate humans breathing that use co2 and they trap the mosquitos inside, so if he used a co2 tank and put a nozzle behind the grid at a 45 degree downward angle that along with the heat from the lasers should fool the mosquitos and they will goto and linger around the grid long enough to get hit by it eventually, who would want to waste time tracking them down when you can bring them to you so easily.
@@hiddenguy67 Double scp approved
I love how the whole video is rendered pointless with the "That one works way better". Allen is a genius.
We need electroboom to make a 3000w electric swatter
@@worldcomicsreview354 styropyro already done that :) And he is in the video
Welp. Time to build a handheld tesla coil for reasons...
throws it in at the last second too, the man knows comedy
Nah he called him the back door scientist
Hope you’re doing well!
Can’t wait for more content!
At first when he added the first few mirrors he basically built a lightsaber😭
Allen saying “Dang, that one works way better” was hilarious
And then just ending the video right there ... amazing lol
Notice how Sytro Pyro brought his own laser safety goggles.
As i expected! Styro knows when to trust laser goggles and when not to trust them.
@ 6:01. Kevin - "Backdoor Scientist" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I have a practical idea that I made in 2nd grade. Its a hammer, with a magnet on the end, and a compartment in the handle for nails that have holes with magnets that fit the nails in so you can grab them without the rest of them falling out. The prototype was layered cardboard and spray paint, and the nails were glued into their holes.
The tracking laser mosquito net was very real, and was a proof of concept in a "tech to prevent malaria" challenge. It didn't track the mosquitoes by appearance, but by the frequency of their wing flapping. It used a high-speed camera and was so sensitive to this it could even differentiate between species of mosquitoes and kill only ones deemed unwanted (who wouldn't label all of them as unwanted?). With a proper powered IR laser you can easily galvo scan a large area (consumer ILDA galvos can hit 60k points per second) and toast the skeeters.
The poor bugs won’t even realize they’re dead
a million dollars bug zapper... Still a great idea. For roaches as well!
There's only a couple species of mosquitos that bite people but there's a couple hundred total species. That's why some are wanted and some are unwanted.
Do you happen to have any links we could follow?
processing high speed footage real time sounds like a nightmare. Then comparing it to a data set, and then targetting the laser and firing. It was definitely faked so much so that they definitely made a way to identify and a way to shoot a target with a laser. I very much doubt it worked in tandem.
Allen is the one person who's officially scared styropyro on camera.
because styropyro does stuff methodically and with lots of precaution... the other guys, not so much lol
@@pvic6959 and his projects are on steroids compared to this
you zapped that lazer right in the head.... it didn't even nervously twitch in pain, it's brain was fried.
7:15 just imagine if he dropped his phone...
You should get a super strong air fan, constrain it’s exhaust, and put the laser at the end. So the mosquitoes will get sucked and blasted into their doom. (I think it will be fun with the electric shocker as well)
That's... actually a pretty good idea.
A giant laser vacuum.
Make the lasers spin for max coverage.
You would only need to use one focused point then and it would be very efficient with a big funnel to suck them in, perhaps a lid on the bottom to empty out the bodies.
bro just imagine the deck setup with two giant vacuum electric traps, you switch it on and all the mosquitoes are gone instantly.
wording is everything...
@@FleshlyDelight that would cost like another $200 to make lol
Ah, yes! Kevin, the famous "backdoor scientist".
That's what my boyfriend calls me. In front of my parents. I've asked him to stop. Many times
He's just really good with backdoors
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 I'm sure your parents are much more disappointed in you for following softcore porn ASMR channels on your main account instead of making an alt, man.
And I thought it's a spelling error that should be Backyard Scientist
This is really fun to watch. Making that thing is even more fun yeah? I feel so happy whenever science nerds are having fun with their brains combined. More power to you guys!
Imagine carrying it would feel like a bug killing shield
Congratulations to Allen to make Styropyro scared of his laser contraption. An achievement for the ages.
Congrats Allen! I think I can speak for many of us mosquito haters who feel that it is very important that you continue to pursue improving upon this technology until you create a version that can be submitted to the retail sector. Do it for humanity, bro! 🙂
I'm fine with dealing with some ruined clothing, if this is super effective and keeps me from getting bit.
No mosquitoes were hurt in the making of this video
here you can see the silicon valley phenomenon play out in its entirety
1) idea for an upgrade or disruption cribbed from sci fi or other speculative nonsense
2) that turns out to be really hard so make a scaled down version that omits the most important part of what made the idea interesting in favor of the thing that seems coolest
3) that's still really fucking hard so you scale it down even further
4) final product is far inferior to the thing it was meant to replace. nobody wins.
That's quite the achievement for Allen, building a laser that scares TH-cam's best supervillain
Man I love Styro's videos, so cool to see him here
so real
Allen, Backyard, and Styro in one room making a sketchy laser, truly a match made in oblivion.
Bahahaha! He captioned him as Backdoor LMFAO !!!

@@VulcanGoF no , it was just a short for backyard scientist
This would actually be a great video to do a ted talk about, maybe do a presentation on tech hype vs practical application in reality
God, his humor is so appropriate yet dark. And the outro was the best part. Man that's gold.
I love seeing Styro act naturally, I want more of that side of him in his own videos!
idk I like thinking he's a little goblin living in a shed mustering all his social skills here and there

@@firewolf11567 I just kinda dislike his videos a little bit because the way he talks there and stuff causes uncanny valley, as if he was pretending, lying.
Which is a shame because his videos are amazing otherwise
Dude basically made a protosabre, purpose built for mosquitoes. I love humanity sometimes.
This is literally one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen
I love how he bring the idea we all imagine only, to real life
Allen, make one that has a tiny LED light in the center and make sure it's well-sealed, then set it on a rotating motor and the LED light will attract bugs and we saw it hits more bugs when in motion, so I feel that may help without having to do a huge rebuild, sick invention, btw
that actually sounds genius
instead of using opencv or similar for image tracking, just track the difference in pixels and black spots, it will be way more accurate this way, basicially having an angular resolution equal to the pixel density and distance of the object. Then just accept the fact that it will zap anything in front of it.
A small price to pay for no mosquitoes in your house
You'll never *see* another mosquito, guaranteed.
@@randomname4726😂😂😂
That sounds like a good way to target someone's pupils as well as crane flies lol
@@randomname4726 Might still hear them tho. I think you need a more powerful laser where you won't see or hear anything anymore.
8:13 mad man has the leak on his shirt 😂
instant subscribe if when he picked it up and turned it on to see where the leaks were, that brawny pack behind them just burst into flame
Bugs are attracted to lights, right? Turn the normal light off and just leave the laser on.
The laser may not be visible to them
I'm not sure they can see it. I was thinking make a box of these grids with a little light and some sugar water inside to entice them.
Allen, styropyro and Kevin(backyard scientist) is trio that should have never been
I'd love to see a version 2 with a tighter grid pattern over a larger area with a UV light mounted behind to attract the bugs through!
I had one of those electric fly swatters that you tried to convert. I love that thing, but the weirdest thing is that they usually don't kill the flies. They get back up again after about an hour, so i think it just stuns them.
Allen, styropyro and Kevin(backyard scientist) is trio that should have never been. Well done Allen, you have literally scarred Styropyro for life..
just wait for "I did a thing" then it's gonna be a slaughter party

@@SirShanova I would say I did a thing, but I think from the last time he collabed with an american youtube channel he's being hunted lmao
Backdoor scientist
they have a podcast called safety third and they have styro pyro on as a guest a few times. worth checking out
an obvious improvement to the efficiency would be to have proximity sensors on the racket so the lasers only turn on for a split second when the mosquito is within the grid.
That's what I was thinking, you could have a low powered laser and a photo resistor as a detector to switch the main beam.
Efficiency? We're out here bringing laser death and you're mumbling about *efficiency*?
This should be used as a mosquito net. Just create a forcefield around the bed.
A sensor that would detect a single mosquito edge to edge? Also, it would have to fire the laser within, what, 1 ms?
@@dingdingdingdiiiiing Sure, if it flies anywhere in the area it would break the beam, you just need to choose an angle that gives you a tight grid, or near parallel lines. 1 ms is a long time in electronics.
He woke up and chose laser grid
And here i was sloving my mosquito problem with dragons breath shells.
Styropyro - Creates death lasers and deadly chemistry recipes. Does 1 colab with Allen - Fears for his life. Love it.
YAY! more Allen!
Alright, that was awesome.
Galvos are expensive and annoying so I think what you did was a really good solution!
Next up, make an even bigger and tighter grid that can fit in a door frame, then add some high voltage being pulsed in as the laser slightly ionizes the air.
i volunteer to test
1:33 Thank you Allen
I'm glad you had fun
Love that Kevin is credited as "backdoor scientist."
nice somebody else saw that too

You should take the microwave generators and try shortening the wavelength to short enough to kill a 1mm fly. Basically making a high density infrared beam of bug killing destruction (but more likely to shock and kill the user)
wouldn't that also set _anything_ in front of the beam on fire?
@@NICK.... collateral damage
@@voidwyrm6149acceptable losses...
*Cancer joined the chat*
That's not how microwave generators work. He might as well build a new source at that point.
Edit below:
I don't mean to underestimate Allan. He might be able to repurpose the guts easily, but precision-maching the correct resonant cavity, tuning the electronics to match it and putting it all together just-right is an enormous endeavor.
Magnetrons are complicated as hell. The fact that anyone can buy a microwave for few dozens is a miracle made possible by economies of scale.
In Brazil we have this thing that it's like a tennis racket but it's with metal wires connected to some sort of battery. It pretty much fries the mosquitoes when they get touched

shine the beam through a quickly rotating prism and you will get a huge laser zapper
8:22 the moment Allen Pan sterilized two youtubers at once
"That one works way better" lmao. That is a terrifying tool. I was also very dissatisfied with computer vision for detecting bugs, maybe in 20 years when camera and computers are better/faster
Nah, we already have the tech. The problem is that if you want to use machine learning you need to get a lot of labeled images with mosquitos to train a good model, and you would also need to process very high resolution images given the size of a mosquito. And that would require very expensive hardware.
yeah and I'm poor, so see ya in 20 years lmao@@TheBaxes
@@TheBaxes You don't need any of that - all you need is a bright enough light to light the bugs up and identify the location - you don't need to identify that it's a mosquito, you just need to know "there's something bug sized at location x,y,z" so you can point the laser there
do you think you should have tried to turn off that bright light and only turn on the laser killer so mosquitos will attract to the laser and goes in and dies?
i think im scared for life after seeing the video in the start of a mosquitoe getting its head destroyed and i feel bad for it
The genuine wholesomeness of this is so heartwarming.. Well done Allen, you have literally scarred Styropyro for life..
