Been trying to get more info on laser entrapment for years, and you explained better than hundreds of articles with a ping pong ball and a marker Thank you for your service
It only works for stuff that's really light, as the heavier the object the more intense the laser has to be in order to exert a useful force on it, and after a certain point the lasers just melt everything or light things on fire, and after a certain point beyond that, they blow stuff up. POFF!
Funny how people immediately know exactly what quote this is referencing even though the original quote doesn't even say the words " tractor beam". Nor is there one in the scene at that current time.
@louabney Hey man- I realized after I responded that you were talking about the vectors/maths that were depicted, which I agree we're very well illustrated. What I said was dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb 🎶🎵. Was thinking the wrong connotation of illustrated. By bad!

A lot of people don't know that this is also how airplanes fly. Many textbooks will tell you something about Bernoulli's Principle, but the vast majority of lifting force actually comes from the redirection of the fluid
I am confident that's the "LIANG High Power Blue Flashlight" But what isn't shown in this video is how stupidly powerful that laser is. Even if you're wearing eye protection, and it's not facing you, and you're squinting, it'll give you a headache. If you shine it outside it'll light up the entire area, and also give a blue beam you can see with the naked eye for literally miles. You can burn images in paper with it. It's super cheap, about $65.
Basically, the ball moves into the water because of the increased velocity of the water at the ball's maximum point of curvature, consequently the that area is the point of lowest pressure, and areas of low pressure create attraction/suction, hence the ball moves tiwards it.
The phenomenon shown with the water and ball (the Coanda effect) is also a major factor in how aircraft wings generate lift and why airplanes can take off and fly. It's more than just the Bernoulli Principle which is what most people learn about lift.
Optical trapping / tweezers. Did that experiment when I was an undergrad. We trapped all types of stuff under a microscope in the laser. My friend accidentally cut his finger, so we started viewing his blood cells. You can literally grab stuff inside cells and move them around with a joystick.
I love the surprise in his voice when it actually works, even though he could probably make a 3 hour long video explaining in depth every detail of this experiment
I feel like while also tension is at work, the redirection of water on the ball behaves as thrust too. Propelling it in the opposite direction towards the water more.
Turns out the guy who dreamt up UFO tractor beams was onto something.
Well you would probably roast everything due to the immense power needed. But If you are into fried chicken, it is as fresh as it gets.
@@DemonicVelocityforcefield, sorted.

Isn't it funny that what you've been sifting through for years was summed up on a short video just to get some views. Life, huh..
Easily one of the coolest channels on RUclips. Seriously, you never disappoint!

Zero point energy in the incredibles
I was thinking stacking up some dangerous particles and making an impromptu laser sword but yeah, science and innovation is what I meant
Your channel has become really great with these practical experiments that break the barrier of traditional academia.
That's no tweesers, it's a tractor beam!
Actually it's a stator beam. It doesn't pull you in just holds you at the same distance. Unless you have adaptive optics.
@@solsystem1342 it's a Twister reference

I can believe this if you add a zero.
This is the coolest demonstration from this channel
This is also how light bends around a black hole

You're welcome
@Empty Ew wtf
my brother in Christ he just explained it right there
How come the dust floating around doesn't get stuck? Is it because they have momentum?
You can only get stuck at the very center otherwise you just end up getting shot off closer or further from the beam's source
That seems remarkably useful. And the demonstration was simple, effective; good video!
So this is how optical tweezers work!! I've read about these things a bit, but thought it was more physically pushing in from each side.
7 year old me: “IM A WATER BENDER!!!”
Now this is cool! Definitely didn't show us this in science class growing up...I mean I love science, but seeing this would have opened my mind
This is actually one of the most incredible videos ive ever seen you make thank you so much for uploading this
Man this guy never runs out of ideas
I think this might be the coolest experiment you’ve ever done
Brother your content is always excellent. This short is particularly exceptional👍
This was actually what I did for my undergraduate research!
Partical: HELP IVE BEEN KIDNAPPED! THEYRE HOLDING ME AGAINST MY WILL OH GOD!!
Don't head into the light!
This is the best illustration of the idea behind optical tweezers
Yeah... But by the end of the video when you're seeing the real thing happen before your eyes, an illustration hardly seems pertinent
@Aaron Goldich it's not the real thing. It illustrates the concept.
@louabney Hey man- I realized after I responded that you were talking about the vectors/maths that were depicted, which I agree we're very well illustrated. What I said was dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb 🎶🎵.

this is one of those things that you see everyday and you dont question it but if if you stop to think about it it becomes crazy
Your freaking awesome, keep loosing sleep so we can advance, I love you!
So that's why the doctors sonic screwdriver has a light at the end
I am fascinated with science and experiments that confirm very complex stuff in the simplest way possible, thank you sir!
All the other particles passing in and out of the beam are like, "Bro, what's wrong, why you just staying there?"
I didn’t understand ANY of this but I’m Super high right now and that was cool AF!
@MILeF Enjoyerrr what is it a particle of?
That one particle stuck in a lightsaber beam: 🥵
I work in a nanophotonics lab where we use optical tweezers to do amazing stuff! I’m so glad you posted this, amazing content!

Looks like it’s even widening the beam! Fascinating!

I saw this article yesterday talking about how they made a macroscopic tractor beam.
everybody gangsta until the partikel part showed up
It's so interesting when Nobel level physics has a consumer-available demonstration. Like the graphene on tape.
Every tine i see one of your videos i think that it could be applied in some crazy science way that we just can’t think of
I love the surprise in his voice when it actually works, even though he could probably make a 3 hour long video explaining in depth every detail of this experiment
It feel like this will be something revolutionary in the future
To be honest, being trapped in a laser is the last thing on earth that's possible.
This was the best short so far
Goddamn RUclips, why Shorts can't be put on a playlist, want to save this one.
You can just share it with yourself, e.g. email. Then you have a link.
Dopest sharpie commercial I've ever seen!
I wasn't expecting light to have such a high viscosity.
It is so beautifully elegant the way it all works! Thank you so much. 😃
that's some aperture sciense level shit right there
I've been watching short for like 20 minutes already. And there's always a ball.
I love your shorts man, very informational
I like how the video went from a ball in water to particles trapped in a laser
I genuinely don’t understand how your brain comes up with practical experiments for visualizing these concepts.
Could you adjust the focal point after catching the particle to push/pull the particle?
Man, I love your videos! Keep them coming. You're making it worth it for scrolling through YT shorts. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gotta love how science is finally getting closer to the magic of science fiction :)
Wow. This truly was amazing. There's also that weird trick with the lazer and a comb - which I saw abt. 10 years ago - and still cannot fathom.

“That’s amazing it actually works,” of course it does.
I feel like while also tension is at work, the redirection of water on the ball behaves as thrust too. Propelling it in the opposite direction towards the water more.
