Honestly this has to be the most underrated channel on youtube even with almost 1 mil subs
Where else can you learn about cutting edge gin brewing and then how to build a near military grade drone interception laser system ...
Scary how it all unfolds
Sssssshhhhhhh! 😉
A million already!!?
Absolutely! Its so awsome my limited english knowlage cant even describe it!
It's truly one of the finest.
Suggested vids: styropyro from 4 days ago: I built a long-range LASER turret in my yard!
Bahaha! I guess you summoned him
A laser duel when 😂
Man, we expected flying cars and perpetual peace. But we got technofeudalism with intelligent robots shooting lasers.
Because we kept defending the idea of peace as a function of state/nation and capital.
Those are the causes of fuedalsim. You have to shift the authority of violence onto the shoulders of everyone, and off the shoulders of the nation state and capital... By doing excatly what we see here, and making community trading systems that dont means test and dont care about your status ones that are just there for benifit of everyone.
I naturally prefer ones that still operate on a free market I.E. money becomes a vote not a thing thats earned but whatever works should be done.
@@AnonymousAnarchist2 A free market anarchist? You mean you don't understand either anarchism or economics. Wow.

If you're a human and expected perpetual peace, then your surprise is your fault.
"Eat your heart out styropyro"
-- I died.
Easily one of the best channels online! Always awesome to see such professional content balancing educational value and "coolness"...and of course, featuring one of the strongest lasers on TH-cam.
Truth.
"This little laser of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it *SHHIIINNNE!* "
StyroPyro would like to have a word on it being one of the strongest...
Right? Who tells Drake to eat his heart out over only 500W?
Agree
I believe your channel (specifically your graphene video) appeared in my recommended videos list for the first time today. I instantly subscribed and I'm quite upset that TH-cam didn't recommend me this channel sooner. I can't wait to binge-watch the rest of your videos and see you celebrate 1 million subscribers soon!
You’d be much better off with a galvo-based system. Far faster at tracking. I’d also put a dichroic beam splitter in the optical path so the camera and laser can be perfectly coaxial, though having a pair of cameras on either side would work with some software tweaks (and would allow some rangefinding). Get your chops around openCV and make us a mosquito tracker.
Range finding could also be done with a weaker secondary LIDAR laser.
@@ichbinderroboter His response to another comment seems to imply that the next video will be about adding a targeting laser
Ha ha ha, the mosquito tracker was my first idea as well :D
Even better off with an actual Iron Beam, what do you think?
The point of this is - they used what they ALREADY HAD in their possession, as just some Canadian youtubers. They repurposed something you can buy in a mall.
There is no point proving you can build a military-grade (whatever that means) system using military grade components.
They used the app that is supplied with an off the shelf appliance - for target tracking... You missed the entire point of the video.
Also: dichroic mirror in a kilowatt range beam path??? Are you even awake???
YES. Moskito tracked laser beam. Been dreaming that for a solid while now. I'd love to see it
I love this channel. I must say this is the best entertainment/learning channel on TH-cam.
What a great video. Love the Goldfinger reference. With the two blue beams, it would have been very cool to overlay the Star Trek TOS sound effects of the Enterprise firing phasers.

@ntfx_org7603 What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent, response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this chat thread is now dumber for having read it.
I award you NO points. And may god have mercy on your soil.
That scientist looks jacked under that uniform. Hoping he'll drop a fitness video next.
Not only am I learning from your videos. The comments are full of great information
_Tiny Hat:_ This laser system costs *millions* to make!
A guy with knowledge and skills: Hold my warehouse keys...
_Sorry Raytheon!_
I remember when we were lucky to get our hands on a laser tube with .005mw... good old days.
Are you sure that's not 0.005 W or 5 mW?
@@benbaselet2026 Ah yes. Thanks for the correction. 👍
Atmospheric scattering reducing delivered energy is a massive part of the problem.
I get your point - But not if it was repeatedly rapid pulsed - it would 'tunnel' its way through an 'atmospheric anomaly - like a cloud system.
(of course distance to target ... and (Artificial-Intelligence giving) mathematical predictive 'arc of travel' to it, would improve 'hit-rate'. ( instead of tracking )
Well, yeah, but any large laser system 100% already has compensation mechanisms, and it enough though, a cheap solution could peobably be found for this small one.
Yeah, his assertion that the main difficulty is the targeting is completely wrong.
If anything, lasers make the targeting problem easier than before, as you can basically disregard ballistics now.
@@toma3025 Not really, software that can independantly identify a random objext from miles away, keep on target, and not randomly shoot at birds is a lot harder to do than solve the already solved problem of atmospheric interference.
@@tjpprojects7192 you can't fix atmospheric scattering. It's going to happen especially in dusty climates. And if you're in a dusty climate and you have a powerful enough laser that's going to create plasma that's going to cause even more issues for scattering.
Sweet! I always wanted to make something like this, but much lower power, to use against flies & mosquitos. Of course safety would need to be given much thought.
Or it could be ultrasonic with the wavelength tuned to their wing beats. Coarser directional resolution but finer frequency resolution.
When you said 500W my jaw literally dropped. Thank you for another great video!
20:28 john bolton
That guy is up to no good wherever he is.
11:37 is cool as the filter makes the arms fade away so the targets look like they are floating by themselves.
what can you tell us about the reliability of optical systems, mirrors, lenses. many years ago it was a discouraging factor that after only 3 shots it was necessary to replace them. it is true, the energy was of the order of megawatts. and in addition, how do such laser systems react with an atmosphere full of water vapor (dense clouds) or dust and smoke? are such systems preferable in space or with firing from low orbits? in my opinion, an illumination of the target with another infrared laser could increase the percentage of destroyed targets
I love the veritety of topics you discuss and experiment with. I also love how you involve your son. He is very fortunate to have a father like you. Some of my best memories with my dad are of him and i in his garage working on something together abd him teaching me things. He built and worked on Harleys. i was alwats in the garage with him and he would teach me things and id also build my own projects with him guiding me. Its one of the best things a father can do with his kids.
Thanks!
Agreed.
Great video as usual. Love the demonstration of the laser next to wooden pallets. What could go wrong?
I was looking around the warehouse and thinking the same risk thought processes...
Every video is a gem. I'm sure I'm more and more qualified for some kind of watchlist with every new one I watch! (and I'm sure it applies to you guys more than us viewers!)
Problem is you'd just wait until a foggy day and target the beam weapons first.
Great Channel And TH-cam is censoring you cause you share real info not fake . I love this stuff I want to build one
You can modulate the laser to create a hammering effect on the target as well as pulse high frequency electricity through the ionized atmosphere the pulsed laser creates to electrocute any exposed metal on the target.
I would think the set up they use to track video of rockets, where the camera is stationary and they move a mirror instead would work well here. The mirrors would likely be a consumable, but much less mass to throw around. I feel like chrome painting the targets would be an issue though, becomes a race between heat soak and reflection/dissipation of heat then.
Another channel I follow just started a series on how to build a drone detection radar. I could see that pairing well with this.
Your remark about the 8M tank and the 80k rocket brought to mind a quote from Spock: "As a matter of cosmic history, it has always been easier to destroy than to create."
Yup.
Entropy.
I have watched pretty much all your videos on lasers, thanks for uploading such detailed and technical content! Wondering if it would be possible to create a video about making searchlights or flashlights using laser excited phosphors? Kyocera already has off the shelf laser modules for it.
That's a good idea. I'll think about it.
I'm always fascinated not only by the deep and well presented demonstrations of really cool stuff, but also the seemingly endless background knowledge and access to resources.
This would be great for creating a mosquito-free environment. Not only in hospitals but also in people's homes.
Sure, but a q-switched ir laser is best for that because it can thermally destroy moquitos but it is also safer to use deep ir i.e. past 1064nm so that the radiation doesn't destroy the retina in case of system fault
lol, and if someone passes in midle by chance?
Okay,
Not, so.
Be careful. 1064nm laser light is very dangerous. Not only can you not see it and avoid it. It will quickly burn the rental tissue.
@@carlosferreira7757 see reply from @okay8632. Using lasers at safer levels of course. I have already seen projects like these but nothing commercial/successful yet.
You mean retinal?
Great and original as always your channel is. Sad that YT censor good scientific content, ever and ever more.

This man went from simple projects in what looked like a quaint woodworking shop to creating things that fall under ITAR
One of the major challenges when making laser AA is the insane accuracy and timing needed.
Until we are talking mega Watt lasers you need to keep the laser on the same few millimetre area for a few sec. and that require insane sensors and fine control on range of a few km.
Now all we need is 100% accurate fly and mosquito identification. I would hate to be mistaken for a fly.
my man just teaching people on internet how to built one of the most destructive weapon and i am very happy about what he doing !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You guys should try telescope mounts for Astro imaging, there are plenty of tracking software also available. The challenge still lies in target acquisition though.
Great show both instructive and entertaining.
Funny you mention that.
We're working with one right now.
I refuse to believe the 1st thing people mount on the tracking mounts they get for Astro isn't a laser, followed by their telescope later that night.
The Dwarflabs Dwarf 2 is the tiniest, most portable I've seen that has a dual camera system(wide & tele), daytime object tracking...all for around $500
I live in NM and about 30 miles away is a facility called High-Energy Laser Test Facility (HELSTF). They have been doing R&D for many decades out there. I had the opportunity to tour some of the facility about 20 years ago and it was amazing. They had a very large steel disc that was probably 2 foot thick that they blasted a hole into in a very short period of time (under a second if I remember correctly but I could be wrong since its been so long). That was decades ago so I wonder what they can do now. Great video as usual!
It would be neat to have a laser system that is able to take out mosquitoes, or other pest bugs (I am aware of one attempt at this but I don't think it actually ever worked). Of course the main difficulty lies in having a sensor suite that could identify them reliably and locate them (maybe infrared night vision cameras? Flying bugs always seem to show up well on night vision cameras). It would be neat if you could out on your porch and it prevent them from ever getting near you while you enjoy dinner on a cool summer night. There are of course some major safety concerns though depending on the type and power of the laser.
The UK have just developed a military laser called DragonFire that's just broken a few records, with each shot costing around $10 and the energy equivalent of putting on your oven for 10 minutes. Here's a snippet of what it says in an article about it:
"The range of DragonFire is classified, but it is a line-of-sight weapon and can engage with any visible target. DragonFire exploits UK technology to be able to deliver a high power laser over long ranges. The precision required is equivalent to hitting a £1 coin from a kilometre away."
leaks are coming out saying this thing will be able to shoot for miles. Which is pretty wild considering how many of them they can fit to their ships and other vehicles.
Palestine ❤️🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Really interesting from the point of view of following a wedding couple around the floor with a moving-head spot, or keeping the spot on a vocalist as they move around on stage.
Agreed. We even considered a moving head as the platform, but the packaged tracking function of the gimbal was too tempting.
Imagine the mount of this laser with the range and power of the last styropyro laser, a collab so powerful that its better to keep on drafts
this man doesn’t only thinking outside the box but destroying them 😂
The title of this channel should be: Tech EXCELLENCE. Thank you for your genius mind and positive nature...
Thank you for including that last little bit in this video. That was hilarious! 🤣
Lasers have a major disadvantage, if the target is highly reflective then they are next to useless
That's definitely a challenge. However, the surface has to be highly reflective at multiple wavelengths because multiple wavelengths are available. Also, if there are sensors on the target, they are vulnerable.
I've wanted to make this for years to kill mosquitos! Good work
"Hi. Lasers..." What a great way to start a video.
can't wait for the build video!
Look at their site, see John Bolton, and instantly know. 😂
Keep up the great work! You're doing incredible work and the production value is fantastic.
I imagine it's not impossible to have high-speed cameras and pulse lasers steered using phased arrays that could vaporize incoming bullets mid-flight.
There's some ITAR enforcement goons absolutely browning their britches watching this video. Love it.
If I were making rockets getting shot down by lasers I would polish them to a mirror finish.
From what I've read about laser based air defense systems, there is a number of challenging tasks that makes implementing the real product so expensive.
- Atmospheric aberrations affect the laser beam, so that lowers the energy transfer rate. The problem is well known in optics. various types of wavefront sensors are developed to measure the aberrations and produce reverted phase wavefront to save energy transfer. In addition, this should work in tandem with in, a very fast response time.
- This thing should work on decent distances. Shouting down a UAV loaded with explosives near the object can't be called "protection".
- An object detection should work in a day light and its absence, rain, fog, etc. , even without visual detection. So that requires radar systems and matching spatial object position into laser movement. Using illumination sources to highlight objects will lead to demasking self positions. In addition, that should work in a wide area of sky space, when the initial moment of threat appear is unknown.
- Energy transfer should be that high to not just heat up an object while constantly tracking it, but completely destroy the threat.
Thank you for the content!
The videos are inspiring!
Science is cool!
Wishing all the best for you and your team!
You are correct about the detrimental effects of atmospheric turbulence, which adds to the unavoidable divergence due to diffraction of the wavefront. Adaptive optics helps but is complex and expensive to implement.
Targeting does not have to be optical, although that has been the primary method during the early development of these systems. Because of the extremely fast scanning of the beam, the range is less of an issue than with kenetic weapons.
Our next video on this system will implement much faster target identification, tracking and firing, not to mention significantly higher powers.
Stay tuned.
You deserve more than a million subs. You are Respected. Keep working.
Glad you mentioned that at the end. Just resubscribed and have 6 months of videos to watch from y'all.
😃
Fantastic channel. So informed and so genuine, dedicated to the science and not to the clicks and likes and not pretending with overhyped dialogue. To the point.
Could one make an outdoor enclosure and train the AI on weeds. I'd love if skynet would neutralize the threats in my garden.
i love it. great work. makes me wanna found a startup
Wow! Cool fly swatter.
Risk to humans by computer control can be partially mitigated by establishing hardware interlocked targeting zones. This stops the weapon from having free rein at the cost of being limited in terms of target area.
Essentially you build the weapon with limited movement axes and establish a no go area.
Preventing an automated weapon from targeting a friendly in the no go area… that’s risky and difficult.
Damn a dismounted phaser!
You're a fun science professor
WE NEEEEEED A HOW TO!!!! literally the best damn tech channel ever! Always new and amazing info, acoustics one week, Lazer robots the next and I love em both equally
FYI:
The Phalanx gun (looks like R2D2 that shoots a ~4000 shots/m high caliber gattling gun from the hip) has a cylindrical domed top. The dome contains two tracking radars, one that tracks the target and one that tracks the stream of projectiles.
That's true. It's an excellent system design. The benefit of adding a laser to such a defense is cost and the magazine weight/volume. Any idea how much a one minute firing from this gun costs?

Isn't this how all villains start in superhero movies?
I have been wanting to build a less powerful version of this as a mosquito killer for many years now. This would sell out so fast.
I am reminded of that one scene from the movie "Andromeda Strain", with motion tracking lasers designed to kill escaped lab animals.
You are incredible! Thanks
Him running up to the target area reminds me of the movie "TRON", lol, i could imagine the AI kicking the laser on and zapping him into vapor only to pull him into a program
Ha!
I recall seeing a TED talk about a project where they used a Blu-ray laser to illuminate a mosquito. They verified that it was a mosquito based on the speed of its wings beating. Then, the computer increased the power to the laser and cooked the little blood sucker.

Love your work Fred.
It's 2040 and one of the best selling items on Amazon is a AI guided very low power laser that kills any mosquito as it enters your back yard...
I'm still subscribed, but I've been unsubscribed from LOTS of other channels that I also love. TH-cam is absolutely removing subscribers without anyone's approval, because they have to pay you for us.
God bless the TI family!
Thanks.
However, it's less clear because they GET paid by advertisers who pay more, the more views a video gets. Subscriber counts have nothing direct to do with revenue.
Good video! I am particularly interested in seeing the guts of the laser. I have been tinkering with lasers since the days of He-Ne
becoming affordable to the average nerd. But things have so radically changed in the last couple of decades that a 0.5 milliwatt
He-Ne don't even rate as a toy. If upgraded with better beam delivery, tracking servo systems similar to CNC equipment and some
proper software this thing could be wicked fast, accurate and have a significant range depending on weather conditions.
Every Bond villain want to be will build one.
You've created a death ray, you're now a fully-fledged mad scientist.
Thanks!
However, in all seriousness, we just assembled a simple system and demonstrated that there will be "mad" scientists out there... keep your eyes open... or shut.😎

Thanks for the subscription tip! TH-cam removed mine, so I re-subscribed! Great video as always.
He said eat your heart out.... Oh it's happening stuff's, about to get real...
Put a galvo scanner on that. Seems like it can only track an object at low speeds.
Styropyro needs to step up his game!
Loved the intro more than anything lmao.
"Hi. Lasers."
".. if you would like to build one yourself" yes sir, yes i would. On an unrelated note, I may need a link to those notch goggles
Edmund Optics, Thorlabs and Kentek all have them and provide the wavelength coverage as well as the blocking ratio.
Shout out to the best science Chanel on TH-cam 😊
A drone could move a lot faster and more erratically, and also require a lot more beam time than the test case in the video if you were attempting to neutralize it. Was still very interesting to see a DIY approach to this technology.
Sure, and thanks.
But many Falcon boosters were destroyed to eventually get it right. Give us time...
You deserve an honorary PhD in physics. Some university needs to step up.
Fantastic show!!!
As far as full auto being avoided so as to eliminate risk to people, hardware stops can used to limit firing to a designated target area.
True.
You have to be careful not to damage the gimbal or the laser, and those stops will benefit from adjustment capability. A time limit would also be a good feature to prevent the beam from augering through the background.
Great video. Speaking of software/ computer-based. You would never rely on a single point of failure. Safety-critical systems are often duplicate; a "hot spare". Better still triple to avoid what's known as "split-brain" (two systems acting as masters), and consensior issues. Look into the "five-nines" (99.999% uptime) to delve into the engineering that goes into high-uptime. It is a rabbit hole.
Regardless. Definitely have E-stops handy and indicators to show when the system is on/ armed (switches & LEDs fail). Relays fail, lights fail... Even fusses, resistors and diodes fail (often in the worst possible way: a dead-short). It is itruely incredible that we've launched satellites into space that still work decades on!
PS: I never got a notification for this and your channel is one of the very few that I watch/ like every video. Just love how you deaply delve into so many fields and never know is coming next. Thank you!
Great job. Here is the next thing though. The laser coming out and shooting must be from a mirror that is armoured. So that if it is shot at it is only hitting a targeting mirror. If hit can send laser to other targeting mirrors. Maybe by optical cable, split light to many mirrors but trades off on which is activated. Then hardly any could get away. Could set up to only temporarily blind trespasser. Have 8 mirrors for 360 defence with redundancy.
Here's something to ponder.
Mount reflectors on drones and from a remote, well protected site, a megawatt class laser beams energy to each drone which redirects it to the targets. The drones are relatively cheap. Hundreds of them can cover a battlefield, and the laser source is relatively safe.
