This Pyro Makes the Strongest DIY Lasers In the World Out of Old Tech

- From a storage unit in rural Illinois, TH-camr Styropyro builds high-powered laser experiments in a makeshift lab for his nearly half a million subscribers. A chemist by training, Drake Anthony started his Styropyro TH-cam channel over a decade ago, when he was still a teenager.
As TH-cam clamps down in recent years on the types of content it allows on its platform, Styropyro claims that DIY, science-focused TH-camrs like him are getting unreasonably moderated. Motherboard travelled to rural Illinois to meet up with him at his DIY science lab.

I had a ton of fun doing this shoot with you guys. Thanks for making it a great experience!
Just came here after watching your video, really appreciate what you do and bring to the platform. Looking forward to the new projects and collaborations!
You're so awesome Styro!
I don't know why I never thought of this before, watching your videos-- you remind me of Val Kilmer in a movie I loved as a kid, _Real Genius._
Just found out about your channel, it is awesome! I love lasers too, so far I only managed to turbocharge an eBay green laser with an adjustable power supply, got it to pop balloons. Definitely want to get more powerful stuff, it is easier because we don't have regulations for lasers here. Only the price is the limit.
I DIDNT THINK IT WAS YOU BUT THEN I HEARD UR VOICE IN THE VID HOLY MINECRAFT
How/why have you not gotten a DARPA contract yet
Showing dead man in forest? TH-cam: ✔️✔️✔️

Yep. Him in a nutshell.
Wanna tell us what that name's about
Oh radiation tickles
What is that name
this dudes "gardener" is an FBI agent for sure. and he's sweatin
He keeps the FBI agent in check 😂

Rural people: check out my laser gun
yeah I would really like that, as a kid I had to stop doing my experiments because of the neighbours :(
Exactly! I love not bothering my neighbors! And if I do get a little too rowdy, they just call me instead of the cops. Living in the sticks is great!
Or “hey john wanna burn some napalm?”
Incredibly true, but it was explosives for me lol. If I hadn't lived like three miles away from any other human being, I probably would've gotten in a lot of trouble, because I made some BIG booms
Started with one of those old 70's chemistry kits that my family had sitting in a storage shed forever, which had experiments that would make my generation of parents shit themselves.
Sometimes I wonder where my supervision was considering I could've lost hands or worse lol, other times I'm just glad I got to do my own thing and have some good stories out of it lol

"Why.......should...you even have something like this?"
"You shouldn't"
Basically his entire channel lol. Hes insane
Why not have sum like it
Cause it's cool
Just a stupid question lol I'm so tired of hearing it
It was a very stupid question. t doesn't matter why he makes something like this or why he owns it. Why should what you think is right or wrong have anything to do with another person. To each their own. We live in the United States. That used to mean freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want. As long as it doesn't affect or hurt anyone else. Every time I have shown his videos to a younger person their eyes light up in amazement. He inspires kids to learn and even adults like me. THis kid is amazing.
Motherboard, you are doing something amazing by interviewing all these TH-camrs like rich rebuilds and others. Keep it up, maybe even get Louis Rossman on here.
sieve5 maybe cody's lab too
LOUIS!!!!!!!
Louis Rossman is anti far left wing, there is no way in hell he is getting on here and not being edited ot look awful.
All I could think of while watching- "I'm waiting for the laser popcorn feat from Real Genius."
Also, love, love this guy's outlook and enthusiasm; inspiring, as all scientific research can be.
Great work man and sub'd.
Rossman got approaches by VICE and turned them down. He made a video about why he turned them down, but I'm to lazy to go find it.
Yeeeey styropyro is getting the attention he deserves

He's very underrated
😂yes
He needs to be in youtube rewind
Not enough yet. He’s a great talent.
I knew it was gonna be styropyro

I saw pyro, and laser together and I was like "YEP, bet 100 that's it's the one and only"
I saw the title and immediately thought of styropyro. Wow. I didn’t even know he was getting strikes for that.
Damn hes 25 years old i thought hed be at least 16

And also one of the hottest (laaers included)

Every youtube broadcaster seems to dislike youtube for the same reason. censorship.
K W - That’s what happens when a business runs a monopoly. They think they can do whatever they want and every employee or consumer has to conform to the inelastic market.
@@user-vr5zk9ox8d no, a monopoly has nothing to do with censorship. The reason TH-cam isn't a monopoly is that many, many advertisers are on the platform so TH-cam must conform to what's advertiser friendly. You're obviously not talking about censorship like TH-cam removing ISIS videos.... I'd say that's a good thing to do.
Gabe Jones-Lang They’re a monopoly in the sense that there is really no competition for TH-cam as there isn’t anything quite like it on any other platform. Sure streaming services like Twitch come close, but it’s still no where near the powerhouse of Google.
Yes, of course removing terrorist propaganda is good thing, but videos like this and thousands of others getting strikes and videos removed for bs reasons is very much bull crap.
It's not just "censorship" - it's the inconsistency topped with a huge helping of unclear rules.
@@gabe6475 You know we've reached peak capitalism when advertisers have more control over a product than the consumer
i saw the word “pyro” and I knew it was the man himself.

I'm a big Styropyro fan - glad to see he's getting recognition!
Same. I hope someone gives him his own show without all the TH-cam BS

Love the newer generations being motivated by this stuff. Couldn't ask for anything better.
Louis Y you forgot the LM317 to limit the current and the module that allows you to focus the beam.
If it ain't nothing special then make one 😀
Ua
👌😊👌
Louis Y someone is angry
Jon it’s good but very rare nowadays
7:28, I love the underlying message "I wish I could show them what a laser can do, I think they'd be completely blown away" 😂.
thought i was the only one who caught that 🤣
Same here
When I was 33 I started following Styropyro now I am34 and an electrical engineer student on my second year. He defenetly inspired me because I also loved lasers as a kid , but never really had someone to actually look up to until Styropyro. He gave me motivation to follow my dream it don't matter if your 5 or 65. Follow your dream before you die.May God bless you, and hope to work with you in the field
I hope all is well with you and your studies!
Instructions outside lab: *"Do not stare into the beam with your remaining good eye"*
very good advice! :D
You use protective eye wear that is made for very high powered lasers for that particular nm- wavelength range of the laser used
Is this a club anyone can join?
Brad Osler ikr
When working with powerful lasers a direct hit isn't needed to blind you. Just looking at the dot on the wall can damage your eye. The scattered reflections are still amazingly bright.
Styropyro is an amazing, genuine and underrated YT chan.. I’ve been a fan for ages and it’s frustrating to see my fave science creators get pinged wrongly over and over again.
Dylan O'Donnell it makes me Soo fucking mad

That's why he never got the third strike.

It's a shame TH-cam tries to derail the success of these gifted young men and women. Most of our progress in developing things we use every day is made by kids like these.
KingBongHogger , Yes Indeed! And that’s why whoever is pulling the strings at the backend of TH-cam, will definitely be in Hell and tortured for a thousand years.
Thank you bro!
Instead Logan Paul and other idiots should be banned
Not really. But you are right. TH-cam is shit
I want to see this kind of stuff on trending not vloggers or youtubers selling out to fads
Let's not forget that the algorythem shows mostly garbage because it's popular or it follows a trend.
"I've been contacted by defense contractors but of course I'm not gonna give it to them it's not a toy and they are incredibly dangerous" that right there is the voice of a man of reason and actual love for science and technology
I'm just like him since I want to sell my "electromagnet gun" that pushes and pulls. But I need a firearm selling license to sell it so ima go wait
He'd be dead if he turned down defence contractors, they'd simply bump him off, steal his work then blame his death on a failed experiment.
Lol. Anyone heard of DARPPA? Both government agencies and private organizations have technology that I’m sure far surpasses this kids “laser bazooka” however I have incredible respect for his passion and drive. Good on him.
Exactly! Yes his passion and knowledge is brilliant.
They don't want him because he invented something new that they don't have, they want HIM because he seems smart, has a degree, loves what he's doing and has the drive to actually build things. They want him because he'd probably end up one of their best employees.
12:32, this moment touched me. He is so sincere about his love for science. Thank you styropyro for the amazing contect you've given the world.
My philosophy is is that if you are smart enough to build one then you can be smart enough to be safe with it

Funny thing is his craft is actually chemistry and not physics which would be more focused on lasers

As someone who teaches science in school, I think we need more channels like his and I agree with his reasons, showing kids how fun science can be will make them more interested in it.
I love how he sounds so enthustiastic when he say "If you touch any of this while it's live, you are dead instantly"
Styropyro is honestly the best
Love that styropyro is getting this promotion especially with what's been happening with his channel lately. My favourite TH-camr.
The funniest thing is that his actual background is chemistry.

Someone give this kid a black coat, weird accent & the keys to some underground lab.
And just 6 months later,,,, he would be writing his name, with the most powerful laser, on the moon.
I've never seen Styropyro do anything unsafe with a laser - and he always has his safety goggles . on when he plays with the dangerous units. Anyone can make flash paper/powder, the info is all over the internet. it looks pretty impressive setting off the stuff with a laser (heck I've done it myself with my high powered green laser). With regard to his laser bazooka getting flagged and taken down, he wasn't showing anyone how to build one, just that he'd built one, and this is what its capable of. The only person placed in harms way was himself, and he is well versed in the dangers of lasers.
But he did name some of the parts and where they go, and with some research you could fill in the rest. Not saying that justifies them taking it down but I was just pointing that out.
12:52 "We also give creators the ability to appeal if they think a video was mistakenly removed." Good job TH-cam.
Yea it’s not very good tho look into it
The thing is is the person who set the copy right strike approves it or disapproves it
Yes, but its does not do shit cause copyright appeals go to person who made the claim to be disapproved and rest are some 3rd world office workers doing the manual removals on channels TH-cam does not like, or is not creating enough profit.
Whole system is broken beyond repair and soon only ones in TH-cam are corporations, while still existing creators are kicked out by the millions.
What a joke eh? Too bad it's not a good one
I got my main google account banned from TH-cam because I messed up and posted my first video, which was for a class, with extra info. I was a dumb kid. I did make an appeal but they didn't even give me the time of day. Now I have to use this alt account that I made specifically for TH-cam. TH-cam is a fucking mess of a company.
Styropyro has quite possibly changed my life, along with The Thought Imporium, Nile Red, and a few other science youtubers. They got me to realize science wasn't just filling out worksheets in class and maybe mixing 2 chemicals together that might slightly change color and that's it. They showed me how science lets people control things with brain cells grown in a dish, or how you can turn plastic gloves into grape soda, or all the ways electricity and light can light stuff on fire. Seeing them get treated like shit by youtube really sucks, because so many kids might go on thinking that science is only just boring worksheets and lame labs. Especially because, at least in my experience, schools aren't really doing much to help the situation. Mostly for safety reasons, which is fair but at the same time kids should be allowed to make rockets in science, or make stuff that goes bang and burns bright. Stuff that's actually interesting, and relatively harmless. Hopefully we can make science fun again, and I hope these youtubers will keep making fun science content for a while.
Kid's showing off his IR-15 with a high capacitor magazine smh
Styropyro is one of my favorite TH-cam channels. Thank you.

YES!! Not only do I have tremendous respect for the interviewee, but I'm extremely happy with the way this interview was conducted! I also build high-powered lasers and work with "explosive" chemistry. I've avoided putting this on TH-cam for the same reasons Drake was describing. Thank you guys so much for shedding some -laser- light on this issue!
Ya youtube cencorship can go to far, also love ur music
This youtuber is incredible, I've been following his content for a while and all his videos are deeply inspiring, the amount of care and enthusiasm for his craft is immense. Also he has such respect for his viewers and their safety, not to mention his humour is brilliant. I'm so glad his message is getting attention.
Thank you for playing this. I love styropyro as a channel and Mr. Anthony is a hit with his personality, thd way he nonchalantly speaks the electrical terms or breaks off into the formulae its really a wonder if he has no Phd (at least one) and that degree quite early. Hes got a sense of humor thats relatable, and although i know absolutely none of the math or scientific terminology at a video's outset i find each time by the end of the video, every one of his vids actually, i have learned at least one new thing. The videos are usually jam-packed full of info so learning at least one thing per video only happens if im distracted!
“Why should you even have something like that?” I absolutely hate questions like that.
Me too, just jealousy and ego powered persons. Keep away from them, they will make you sick too.
toxic
It was just a simple question for the interview jeez, you guys need to calm down.
khaglun I didn't say anyone was angry, I told you to calm down due to the fact that you are bashing a person who asked a simple question for an interview.
Answer: Because I want to.
I've been watching this guys channel since 2008 when i was 11 years old, massive reason i'm so into science and chemistry today.
I admire your interest in science. Who are the idiots that called your vid titles misleading? Stupidity seems to be everywhere. Keep on keeping on young man. Your vids are inspiring and educational. Whoever objected should go back and get their high school diploma first before objecting.

Motherboard thanks for covering this I've been watching both of yall for a while now keep up the good work
Glad to see him getting recognition, I’ve been watching him for almost two years now and he seems to finally be blowing up
Imagine if Nikola Tesla had to deal with TH-cam standards while trying to contribute his ideas. Society wants us all in cages so we all feel safe from one another due to what we don't understand. Can the "bad guys" hurt us all from what is presented? Sure. But the fact is that the world is NOT a "save space" and as soon as we try to force it into that then we lose our scientific imagination, our curiosity, and real ambition for genuine contribution to humanity. This was a great video to watch.
they are trying to dumb us all down so we can be controlled. what is the best way to control someone, make them fear you. fear is often the lack of understanding of something. if you make people dumb and fearful, you can impose things on them, and they will give up their rights. its like this whole gun thing... there was a video on here where these guys were going around getting signatures from people who wanted to ban guns. 99% of the people who wanted guns banned didnt know the first thing about guns, other than they are dangerous and kill people. but that is what the news shows... that is ALL the news shows... its ridiculous... people need to open their eyes and actually see what is going on... its happening so gradually that most are completely oblivious to it...
ion77799 You're talking as if TH-cam is society. They're a business, their goal is $. They're trying to appease their advertisers who don't want their products associated with certain things, and they're trying to appease the creators who complain they're not getting paid enough. If people want to make scientific contributions there are better mediums to do it through (I.e. publishing research or creating products). Get your head out of your ass and stop being pretentious.
emoteman I'm not saying youtube IS society, but it is a huge part. Same with facebook.
ion77799 Tesla had to deal with Thomas Eddison stealing his stuff while the US gov tried to shut him down lol
@ion77799 Really civilization is a giant safe space. That's why we have a military and police, to keep people from harming each-other and in some cases themselves. However, if you want danger you can join the military, or if you want to fight someone you can challenge them to a boxing match. We have designated dangerous areas. What stinks is some people think they should ban other people from learning about dangerous things, or engaging in activity that could be dangerous to themselves. TH-cam does have a different issue though. For example, high speed car chases were a big problem in LA, California until news organizations were banned from showing them. Turns out people were just doing it for their 1 - 30 minutes of getting attention, and endangering everyone else for it.
Congratulations on your driving curiosity, attention to detail, enthusiasm and success!
so happy to see this guys get some much needed coverage
They should have an uncensored version of TH-cam. That would solve a lot of issues

I’m 54 and I dig your channel we need more people like you with ambition And passion. People like you we won’t have new discoveries in the future
This guy is a true influencer. He is not only paving the way for young science enthusiasts, he is showing people that you don't have to be some sort of special mind, or have endless money, to explore the world through science and understand the truths about nature.
I really hope he gets to work with a laser fusion team, or something positive in the future.
He would make a wonderful "M" type for an actual real life Batman.
Dying Moths to be fair though, he IS a special mind, well off the scale of normal. But sure, the gifted kids need to watch this so they see where they can take their talents, rather than having school tell them where to stop.
Robert Leitch it would be really great if we stop teaching children that science is just for "special kids". Science is simply objective observation of the natural world.
while it is true that a person can have a mind that is especially excited about science, the understanding is based around the simplicity of observation, which is obtainable by almost all people of all ages.
I spent years, in Denver, working with people of all ages, teaching integrated sciences; all of it in an attempt to improve scientific literacy, and improve societal issues through the better understanding. It is a universal language that can connect us all.
I have had people from age 5 to 75 sit down and learn basic cell theory, general plant sciences, major concepts in physics such as Thermodynamics, or more complex matters like evolution.
Yes, he is a more special individual, because of his excitement and dedication alone; but anyone, even someone who desperately hates science, or is someone who is not neurotypical like me (schizophrenia / depersonalisation disorder/ autism/ brain damage), could still learn all of this stuff.
scientific literacy is currently at a point where we have people who very seriously think the earth is flat, cling to ideas that the government is using airliners to dump mind control virus and barium (for some reason they think barium is being used to purposefully cause cancer and kill off the populous) all over the world, or that their microwaves are changing the atomic structure of water and food and causing conditions like cancer and autism. These are the same people that pay 4x as much when a soap label says "antimicrobial" because they don't grasp that all soap is. Or they buy magnet bracelets, base decisions on astrology, or still believe in imaginary friends like Jesus/Ganesh/Fairies/Buddha/ Mahummad / bipartisan politicians/ unicorns/ even mermaids...
So yeah, time to start spouting "Science is for everyone and is reachable by all humans", instead of "you really just need to be special/ only gifted people can do this/ you really have to be a certain type to be a scientist" by cause we are at a bit of a standstill right now (aside from a few people still aggressively trailblazing)
yeah, no more pushing the agenda of "science is special"
because, science is absolutely natural
Dying Moths I fully agree. But I would suggest that enthusiasm for science is linked to capacity to understand it as well as opportunity to explore. I watch these young guys on TH-cam doing their experiments and feel a little jealous. I was actively steered away from this kind of thing right at the time when I had the enthusiasm and capacity for it. I think there's a problem where kids are made to think that science (and engineering, and many other things) is something that other people do, rather than something they can do themselves.
I believe he once stated that he was given the opportunity to work in a lab on nuclear polarization . He’s doing very big things already .
Styropyro always has good content. I hate to see him stress over youtube flagging his videos.
"I just stack them up in that corner" - spoken like a true DIYer
this guy seems like a genuinely nice human being.
That capacitor bank is terrifying!
So is the ruby pulse laser it powers. It shattered a brand-new lens because glass is insufficiently transparent, so he had to use fused silica lenses instead.
Loved the documentary , also love styropyro of course , I just get annoyed when like he says bigger channels do dumb or dangerous stuff they almost get no reprocusions , while smaller people like him even tough 500K isn't small at all get striked like its nothing.
Like at the end of the what the youtube spokesperson said , its only true if your big enough if someone like styropyro talks for 20 minutes about fascinating science and toy around for 5 its strike worthy, but bigger channels can do it the other way around :/ sad.
I hope this changes someday.
Anyone else report this Motherboard video for dangerous content? :)
Dumb people rule the world, lol
Look throughout history, the smartest individuals are the ones who get crucified.
That is because religious institutions at the time got it in their heads that knowledge of how the universe works goes against their god’s teachings and ‘will.’ This threatened them because they believed that it would make religion irrelevant as the ‘answer to everything.’ At the time, it wasn’t common practice to separate government and religious institutions like it is now. Result: religious nutcases had access to the resources needed to forcibly enforce their way of thinking (military, police, politics, etc). What was one of their modus operandi? Any knowledge or smart people not directly a part of the religious institution were heretics/witches/etc and should be burned along with their research.
1:34, "they're my very own little test subjects.'
This was fantastically done, Motherboard.
Moth-erboard
InternetDude i have no words
Nice
Ahhhhh hahaaaaa
Bad Goy :
Moth = animal
Motherboard = this channel
Notice how the word Moth is in the beginning of Motherboard.
*Moth* erboard
Do you get it now or do you need further explanation?
He kinda reminds me if Syndrome from the Incredibles grew up without a chip on his shoulder and got really into moths and lasers.
Brilliant work to all involved.
"I'll work with lasers until the day that I die" (probably by laser)
Yeah
Yeah , but will we get to see the experiment ?
Why is it the most enthusiastic of builders always have a junk pile?
Cause they collect a lot of junk while they practice their hobby over the years
Because we know we can use parts from that junk pile to make cool stuff like styro
Because it's more fun to work on a new project than to clean up 😄
diodes and resistors and shit
cat gath Because creative people make way more mistakes.
He is true genius and so passionate about his work...love to see such people's....like all great inventors and scietists....it's all starts in garage lab....I turely admire and love this American tradition...of garage inventors....my huge respect....👍🤘👌
I've just been watching a couple of your videos for the first time and I'm absolutely fascinated!
You are extremely intelligent and interesting to listen to!
Keep doing what you do, I wished I lived near you just to be able to see you in person because you have a wealth of knowledge and are very inspirational.
If you ever visit the UK I'd love to meet you.
Lastly I'd like to add that I watch a lot of TH-cam videos etc and this is the first time I've left a comment to anyone, I can honestly say any haters you have are missing out big time...much respect!!!!!
I find your enthusiasm for lasers to be exciting. I love your TH-cam page and look forward to learning more.
Can someone plz tell me how to make a nuclear reactor
Uhm.
Get some uranium and I guess make rods out of them or something like that. Now comes the tricky part, you need to make the nuclear fission thingy work and I don't know how but you're smarter than me so you can probably figure that one out, shouldn't be very hard.
Place everything in some water. The nuclear reaction thingies should heat up the water so you want to run this water into a tank of more water. The new tank of water will now pick up the heat from the first tank's water. Remember to run the first tank's water back into it after you run it through tank number 2.
When the water in tank 2 heats up it will create steam and use this steam to turn a ventilator or something that generates electricity, kind of like windpower. Remember to run this steam back into tank 2 by cooling it down after it turns the turbine.
And bam, you've got yourself a good amount of energy.
The hardest part is to get the Uranium but if you ask Trump he'll probably lend you some.
Massimo D'Amico all you need is bubble gum🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
No problem..! Come back when you've sourced some U235 or Plutonium. Then we can take the talk about noncritical mass, control rods, cooling, and...the effect of nuclear radiation on a human body.
Fart in a bottle and light it with a laser beam in the freezer
Synthetic uranium is where it's at 👌😎
This guy is awesome, that is 100% passion. The type of passion that turns somebody into a master of their field. I hope every company he works for looks after him!
Drakes channel is inspirational & I can certainly understand his frustration when some of his videos are removed. I actually owe Drake my eyesight for persuading me to spend a little more and get the correct specification eye protection. Keep safe everyone. Love from Wales 🏴 United Kingdom.
Help push our technology further for the future of all of us. You're one of a kind.
