This is the only guy who can say "Today, we're going to do a deep dive into directed energy weapons" casually, who isn't a aerospace or weapons youtuber **and** I just take the statement at face value. This is entirely expected and the only weird thing about it is that it isn't weird.
and forgot to mention anything about Drone based DEW Delivery Systems
Yes I was pleased to see we were going to get a learned opinion
@@getl0st Much easier to attach flamethrowers to those drones though...
Yes, its suspicius.
The internet is a disaster.
CNC Fiber laser cutter operator here (LVD Phoenix, 12KW IPG laser source). I've personally witnessed the setup I'm working with, be able to cut 30mm stainless steel and Aluminium (highly reflective and pretty 'abrasive' to the head's built in safety windows). It's crazy what these things can do.
Every material has it's own sweetspot for efficient cutting. Sometimes there's a trade-off between speed and cutting quality (edge squareness, burrs forming on the underside of the parts, color change due to metal overheating, etc etc), but most materials can be cut quite nicely without losing too much quality. It's an art to cut parts with a nice accurate, sharp, glassy looking side, and me and my fellow lasergods take pride in delivering the shiny.
One of the things fiber setups can do that traditional CO2 lasers can't is store energy and release it as a massive but short blast. We use it to strike a hole right through metal, after which we switch back to "normal laser cutting" and spiral down the side of the "Strike hole" to enlarge the hole enough for sufficient amounts of "helper gas" to be able to blow through the plate (in our case either Oxygen or Nitrogen). After sufficient gasflow is achieved, we re-engage the laser and follow the cutpath while maintaining a set gaspressure. Laser does the melty bit, helper-gas does the material removal bit.
In a process similar to what the LHC does with particles, these laser sources can cycle photons inside a fiberloop and add on to them almost infinitely, and at a set time, they do a switchover into the cutting head, releasing all those coherent photons into the metal, instantly vaporising it, after which the helper gas can blow away the metal plasma (yes, it's turning the metal into a plasma). Some motion systems and head leveling sensors do the job of maintaining a set height above (and a set x,y position on) the plate to be cut, and the rest is just G-code. Most of the time, all you need is basic knowledge of how to draw a shape in Inkscape, and you can cut it on the machine.
Tldr; These laser sources may be advertised as having an output capacity of 12KW, but they can do MUCH MUCH more than that, for small fractions of a second at a time. And most of the time, all you need is a short blast to "clear a path".
Wow. I had no idea that sort of cutting power was relatively common now.
@@hideousruin The tech is making big leaps now. Fiber lasers are truly replacing co2 lasers on all fronts. The time between my initial post and now was just 5 months, but I've already read up about 30KW setups that can do 50mm steel without even breakign a sweat.
There are however several factors that make it so more power doesn't mean more meters cut per second. The operating costs don't scale linearly with power, helper-gas gets to really high pressures when cutting fast (Good quality nitrogen / oxygen supply at reasonable pressures is very expensive), and safety consumables wear out much much quicker (anti-spatter glass, reflection protection gratings, nozzles (pure copper, with brass connectors), scrap conveyorbelt elements, bed-combs (what the plate rests on during cutting), several types of grease cartridges lubricating every moving part of the machine). It all adds up..
I'd say for a medium sized jobshop doing their own niche productline and renting out unused laser cutting time, 12KW is about optimal for keeping cost manageable. In fact, having 2 12KW setups instead of a single 30KW setup makes much more sense, in case one of them breaks down or is in need of maintenance..
A nice follow-up would be to investigate if/how these lasers can be detected as well as if it's possible to defend against.
Good old aluminum hat will keep you safe, as long as you keep it shiny side up!
Bluetarp seem to be pretty nice
@@AndersAylwardSky is blue because that's the most blurred color . Infrared lasers stay far away from blue .
wrong, an intense laser will not bounce off shiny material, did you not learn anything in class?@@firstmkb
@@greenmarine5think it was a joke
this is the kind of thing that seems so trivial to actually accomplish with a military budget that it's pretty safe to assume that they've done it at some point.

Now you know where that $2 trillion went that the Pentagon misplaced.
Remember the Jodie Foster movie, “Contact”?
FYI - the "Published" range of known ship mounted systems - which are NOT super heavy is 900 miles.
Which in of itself raises interesting questions about the flat Earth theory, as why would you need a straight line weapon that could not hit a target 900 miles away if we lived on a globe. In fact at 40 miles it would have to fire through hundreds of feet of water to hit a target 40 miles away on a globe.
That being said, the published ranges are well outside the height of Satellites, making range on non-sensical argument / consideration.
Satellites are said to be about 350 or so miles high, the publicly known range of DEWs are almost three times that.
So . . . not an issue at all.
If you remember, Ronald Reagan started the project called 'Star wars'. They've been using it for years. On occasion you can actually hear it in operation. It sounds kinda like this. It's a guttural 'well - you know'. 😂
I worked on satellite systems in the past. When you’re designing your system be aware of the temperature differences between day and night at 400km then look at the thermal expansion characteristics of the different components. Things that are fine on the ground could rip themselves apart at 400km. Also consider operating temperatures of batteries and other components.
Sure.
There are many considerations when working in a high vacuum with solar radiation heating exposed components.
However, there is a lot of well developed technology currently deployed on satellites to cope with this.
I worked on information gathering satellites
@@TechIngredients Of course no need to make it more plausible, but if you wanted to target 2 lower powered and easier to target fibre lasers at the same point, I wonder how much of the machinery could be shared possibly bringing down weight (less than double) white doubling the power. Also what about chemical lasers? Very high powers. And what about pulsed lasers, if you only need long enough for a fire to start...
@@TechIngredients thanks for the videos, much appreciated, from an mku1tra victim.
@@jonathanberry1111 Chemical lasers are almost entirely a relic of the past at this point. A failed technological evolutionary path that was passed over for high powered diode lasers and highly efficient laser couplers. There was a time when they were the most powerful available, that time was the 80's. They never really exceeded a continuous megawatt in practice and they were large and cumbersome to handle. All development was scrapped in 2012 when it became apparent to the most pigheaded that diodes could do the job better in every conservable way.
Sir, i dont remember seeing such clear easy to follow and high level lecture anywhere. Your students may consider themselves VERY LUCKY
I greatly appreciate the competency to your presentation and the data contained within. Additionally, it is pleasant to see you give a demonstration of what this information actually looks like as opposed to what could simply be a reading of a paper on the topic. Furthermore, dispensing your sources of information is also well received.
Thank you for all the time and energy spent to bring this information to light. I loved the class and your work.
Hi
A fellow marine told me that in the middle of the night during the war in Afghanistan, there was a flash of light for a few minutes, in the next valley.
The next day that valley had an tarmac runway in it that upon further investigation turned out to be obsidian melted stone.
I called BS at the time, and have heard nothing about it from anyone else. The more I learn though, the more I think he may not have been insane.
Why would he bullshit....?
He wasn’t insane, he was right. Just trust me.
That amount of energy would be easier to deploy from low altitude or even right on the ground . Maybe someone wanted to prove that their impractical weapon could work "in a war zone" without having to mention the huge military dominance protecting the area at the time . Probably a high powered chemical explosive, given the outrage that any nuclear weapon would have produced .
@@HaploStrongThis is not a smart ass question. Why should we trust you?
Why bother? Stay in your lane of mediocrity with info exclusively from your authority figure of choice or you may overload your brain cells.
So rare to see a level-headed engineering analysis of these hot topics. Thanks for the valuable contribution
Your welcome.

I have always appreciated educators who don't hand hold but understand and communicate well enough to explain intricate concepts for us lay folks with a willingness to learn.
It may take rewatching several times for your videos to fully soak in but they are always endlessly fascinating. Thank you.
Thank you for the lay view and very detailed demonstrations supportive of your perspective.
Much appreciated Sir.
Your lab videos are also always interesting when I trip over them.
Thanks!
I used to work in a dance club with a water cooled argon laser from 20w, and because you can't cut off electricity suddenly from the laser tube, because these lasers has to cool down slowly, we had the possibility to redirect the beam outside. The green beam was visible for kilometers, without dispersing a lot. We used dichroic mirrors to achieve this. One time the beam was off and had to be recalibrated, but in place of shining on the dichroic mirror, it shined on the door jamb nearby, and burned a serious hole. So there was a fire hazard with this thing. That's why we had to check, every hour, the very big power supply, the water cooling and the laser itself. This was also a multicolor club laser. So if you see what a 20w laser can do, what about a 20Kw laser? Mind-boggling.
Good one
Mind-Bottling* (like your thoughts are all stuck in a bottle.)
Carre in Willebroek had this laser decenia ago. It was awesome
*kW
sounds like a recipe for disaster. why would any dance club have that?
You make tech and science so easy to digest, the first 12 seconds actually scared me a little bit.
The principles are easy. The difficult part in engineering courses is almost always the math.
For example... it's not "lift this mass with this electric motor", it's "optimize the dimensions of the lever arm to use the least wight of material with a safety margin of 100% over rated capacity" {It was for problems such as that which lead to the development of the I-beam)
I beams are ok for spanning gaps but they twist when used a levers.
Perfectly demonstrated by the “Barkey Pickers” trebuchet on Scrapheap Challenge.
The potential of such a weapon to be used to wreak havoc on enemy food production is terrifying.
Or domestic food production.
Some strange things happened regarding food production facilities.
And a war crime
i can imagine the streets being flooded with popcorn now
Except it's global food production. It's very hard to do that without also harming yourself. Gas lines would be a more likely target. At first, I was going to say nuclear reactors, but those are probably being constantly watched by multiple spy satellites - much too risky. Pipeline is far easier & even more destructive.
This experiment is interesting for making an engraver.
Instead of an expensive laser engraver, if you could build your horizontal XY plane where you place your acrylic (or wood or whatever material), that is it.
You'd need a beam 0.1 or smaller instead of 1cm diameter, but you could solve that with a series of lenses
You guys are an absolute internet treasure. Thanks for your work.
agree 50%
Yes...thank them for their work in doing research with information given to us by the people who have every reason to lie to us 😂😂
Parabolic mirrors in space uses the suns power to heat the surface of earth . paradise and Maui.,storms ,ocean waters ahead of a low .ECT .
The No. 1 Challenge with a satellite is not distance. It's HEAT. The ISS has massive radiators just to deal with the heat produced by the power/environmental systems. As a frame of reference, the ISS has a peak power usage of 90 kW, with a peak production of 120 kW. When the USAF tested out the YAL-1 Airborne Laser the biggest challenge holding it back was managing the waste heat it produced. Getting rid of heat in space is very difficult and involves tradeoffs such as expelling coolant (a consumable), or having large radiators.
DE systems produce an insane amount of wasted heat, even chemical lasers like COIL have these challenges. (Also you would want to avoid using a consumable laser system on a satellite)
Just something to keep in mind when talking about satellite based Directed energy systems.
Trumptard: The heat goes into the laser dummy.
Lasers on planes solve most of this, we don't need to be in orbit to set shit on fire with focused light. I can do it across my bedroom, and the military CAN do it from much further. Hell they have lasers in the point defense systems.
It also has a pretty hap-hazard CGI team as well . Along with those pesky airbubbles that seem to continuously show up on film when they go outside of it to perform " maintenance " ....
Its crazy the average car today makes somewhat more than 120kW now. That might be peak HP but still. A space station or a car.... just goes to show how inefficient cars really are.
Exactly, why would you need a satellite as there's already an experimental aircraft with most of is fuselage outfitted as a giant chemical laser and you can even find RUclips videos of it.
Thank you for giving an objective and informative video and i liked that you also gave you opinion at the end. I really enjoy your videos especially since youre a fellow New Englander!
Thanks. Very important and good stuff.
I'm always amazed at the diversity of information provided through this channel and its quality.
According to Naval Captain Paul Tyler in a 1976 essay, “The Electromagnetic Spectrum in Low-Intensity Conflict,” a “speed-of-light weapons effect” could be achieved with “the passage of approximately 100 milliamperes [of directed frequency] through the myocardium, [leading] to cardiac standstill and death.” In other words, electromagnetic devices with stun or kill settings could theoretically wipe out entire armies-and cities. The patent for just such a “death-ray” device, according to officials of the McFarlane Corporation, an independent Research and Development firm, was pirated from them in 1965 by NASA. The theft was reported in hearings before the House subcommittee on DOD appropriations, chaired by Rep. George Mahon (D-Texas). According to McFarlane company literature, the invention-termed a Modulated Electron-Gun X-Ray Nuclear Booster-could be adapted to “communications, remote control and guidance systems, electromagnetic radiation telemetering and death-ray applications.”
Wholeheartedly agree. I can't wait for the normalization of "air conditioning" paint! I really want to go take as many road trips as possible and not have to stay in hotels so I want to do a mini cargo trailer build-out and not have to have 1000 watts of solar I just want a tiny air conditioner to blow cold air on me, a heater and a 12v compressor fridge so I don't have to deal with ice but can control my food budget better and save my leftovers when i do eat out 😂. I'd to go fully modular and just have a bed frame and some kind of counter built in it but then just have an ego flowave 2 and a dual zone compressor fridge like the iceco go20 and cook on propane probably.
@@0Logan05 fascinating, this got so few likes that had to say something.
I just want to say that your manner of speaking and writing is superb. You are always clear, concise, precise, and brief. For what it’s worth, I consider you one of the finest science educators I’ve encountered. Your teaching style is especially interesting and effective for me and I very much look forward to new videos!
I’ve been watching your videos for some time now and I’m still so impressed with the breadth and depth of your knowledge. Truly appreciate the time and care you put into your content and channel. 🚀
Couldn’t agree more. He’s next level classy on a platform that promotes next level dramatics and fakeness. And I think this channel is outstanding for all ages.
One of the strange apects of the Hawaii fires was the highly-localised nature of many parts of the burn pattern. Cars turned into piles of slag and ashes while the wooden fence next to them was untouched.
And of course Oprah's estate untouched.
As well as the blue coloured items left untouched!
Didn't know that !@@soteriology1012
-_ the fact that you have none of the usual black soot n ash instead the burn areas are white giving an indication of just how hot these fires were..the aluminum melt streams as well as no glass left in the vehicles which has a melt pt of like 24 or 2500°.like u pointed out it was very specific about what it chose to burn and as it turns out fires hate both indigenous peoples as well as the poor..one house in particular was surrounded by empty fields of sage brush as big as maybe a hundred yards then a little league field in the front so basically nothing to bring the fire close enough for this home to be in any danger yet it was burnt down to the foundation but a nearby plastic power wheels was fine...why?.. probably cuz plastic does not melt in microwaves..and the trees which typically provide much of the fuel for these fires for the most part remained green unless they happen to be very close to the home...as far as some accountability we can start w the officers who knowingly bloct the only exits out of town as well as who ever gave the order to do so..the few that disobeyed this command and were quick enough to get around the officers who w guns drawn seemed ready to open fire on these families in order to keep them trapt all survived while those who did as they were told were mostly reduced to ash within their vehicles_-
Horrific situation.@@sharonneedlesfreedomsnotfr813

Indeed, The Denim/Canvas Tent/ Pants guy🤙🏻
Usually I like the scientific information provided by this channel. But this time I found the conclusion of the video host blaming the cause of the Maui fires on downed power lines to be misleading and to be the result of his ignorance of the presence of anomalies that could have been created only by powerful Directed Energy Weapon no matter how technically sound his analysis is related to satellite-based DEW. Just because satellite-based DEW for attacking targets on the ground is hard to achieve due to the extreme limitation of the weight of the payload doesn't mean the same problem exists on a plane-based DEW. I think plane-based DEW was responsible for most of the devastation after the initial fire caused by downed power lines was reported to have been put out but re-ignited, this time with the use of plane-based DEW.
The anomaly of scorch mark on asphalt road surface around every evacuating vehicle that has been burned down in the Lahaina fire could only have been caused by Directed Energy Weapon from above.
VIDEO: Never Before Seen Footage: Lahaina Fire Aftermath
See my scientific explanation in my reply to mihaelagabrielazeinali5666.
Why is my scientific explanation in my reply to (censored) not censored under the video "Never Before Seen Footage: Lahaina Fire Aftermath" but my recommendation of that explanation is censored under this video?
For any laser weapon you can put in orbit, you can put a more powerful larger laser on the ground. So anything the satellite can do to the ground targets, the ground target can do more damage to the satellite.
Correct.😉
I have it on good authority that botnthe US and USSR had portable lasers able to do damage to satellites from the ground in the late '80s.
I don't know anything about the design of the American laser but the soviet laser was clever and low tech, as the best and worst of Soviet tech tended to be.
But satellite one can attack anywhere, ground one can attack nowhere.
The idea being the frequency is known, it isn't, OR that is was a DEW from orbit rather than a large laser placed on the nose of a jet... Some assumptions made here will not correct because of the technology being top secret. Your statement is correct though. If he can do a segment on why the police would be blocking the exits on the islands, on the FEMA director being targeted by the marines with an arrest warrant after they found FEMA burying bodies for some reason... Now they have a new "green" initiative and all the locals are losing their land after already losing everything else, of which, they are fighting in court right now. Strange how Tech Ingredients didn't mention a plane that could generate a lot of power, flying high altitude, using both red and/or blue lasers though. A lot was left on the table though.
maybe not if it comes out of orbit, you gotta think out the box... they never expect to get squashed by the laser
Thank you!!! I’m not going to say I understood everything but I got the overall message. It’s nice to hear unbiased science.
Very logical and well researched as we have come to expect thanks for the video.
Thanks!
I saw a fascinating documentary about this in 1985 where a young college student was able to beam a laser from low earth orbit to cook a bunch of popcorn. That prodigy later became the top naval aviator in his class and eventually a navy admiral.

Shut up and take my like.
25:53 I drew many of those as a child as well. Man, this brings me back to the days of starting fires with a magnifying glass and a crumpled up newspaper page (or a bunch'a dry leaves) and ending up with a bonfire that lasted hours. I had a huge source of wood ranging from tiny, thin sticks all the way up to pretty big branches that would fall off of the massive trees at the park when they dried out. Being the little pyromaniac I was, I put in work day in, day out and had such a great time alone, sitting in front of the fire I'd made, and being mesmerized by it, alone with my thoughts. Other times I'd spend a ton of time prepping, and I'd tell my friends to help gather up the dry, fallen branches and I'd build massive bonfires, which we'd feed from time to time with the stack of wood we'd built up. Ahh, the good ol' days.
Had to make sure I wasn’t the only only one who saw it lmao
@@mrhunt231 XD It's in our nature.
Was going to post on this, seen many representations of this under bridges and on rail cars and sides of buildings.
Indeed: in today's politically correct world you'd get arrested for lighting a fire, however big, in a park. At the very least, you'd get a hefty fine. Which, by the sheer imbecillity of certain Sunday campers, might not be steep enough. Then again, in the tech world we're being bred for, so withdrawn and isolated from the real world, the fault is not entirely on those Sunday campers....
I dug a hole with my excavator
It rained over night

Welcome to 2030 guy's
Great info!! Thank you sincerely!
I love how he took an idea straight from a video game and dead serious analyzes its feasibility.
Ground based lasers have fired at lightning clouds, the ionized air creates a path of least resistance for the lightning. This same method could be used by a satellite based laser to create lightning strikes on land.
Don’t even start….
The clouds might make it hard to get the laser to the ground...
@@exposenetworklimited4497 you dont even start. Any stupid person can play the skeptic. Explain things instead of acting like you know things. Biden voter
I think you misunderstood, he’s saying “ground based lasers” In other words the laser is firing from the ground up to the cloud creating a path for lightning to travel down.
@@lateralus411 I'm referring to the speculation that it could be used from satellite based ones as well in the last sentence
At first I thought this wasn't going to be a tutorial like most of your videos. I look forward to part 2 where you show us how to get it to orbit. No rush though it's gonna take a while to build the orbital vehicle.
rocket engines and rocket fuel have already been in production for a while on this channel...

Thankyou for the explanation
Outstanding video gentlemen thank you
I never even would have thought of that. When it's dry all it takes is a cigarette butt, knocked over tiki torch or air born ember from a beach campfire. Occams razor.
Exactly. Even if you were a bad actor with the access to nation-levels of resources. Why pay billions of dollars to launch a satellite that starts forest fires when you could just give someone a few thousand to go start some fires. It really seems like the arguments starts with "really wanting to believe DEW was involved"
The most likely cause, IMO is a few climate wackos with a box of matches.
Think about it. They have to PROVE that """the climate""" is doing something abnormal... but the climate has been changing constantly, for four billion years. They have to make the data look different, somehow.

I love that this channel is all about exploring ideas and possibilities. It's not the shallow garbage that is drama and pop culture.
oh wow, nothing popular for this guy. Only the exploration of ideas, and not to mention, possibilities too. Not no damn shallow ass garbage, or drama, OR popular culture, just those very cool ideas and sick ass possibilities are worth exploring, like I mentioned previously of course. Which ideas? Which possibilities? Well It's obvious, the cool (and sick) ones, duh.
Here's the test I use to know which are cool (and also sick) ready, OK when you come across say, oh I donno, like an idea. Or even maybe like some possibility of some kind you ask yourself, self? is this idea in anyway associated with like, garbage..?...at all..? No? woah that was close now on the step two. You ask, is this idea, drama? You become confused because the idea involves a disfigured masked wearing antihero, lurking beneath the Paris Opera House down in the catacombs below, longing for his true love....and you go
NOT THAT KIND OF DRAMA so now, relieved the idea isn't garbage or drama(tic) in any way, all you do is make sure it isn't at all popular and liked, in a broader, more cultural context I saying and boom, passed my test. Pretty rigorous I know, but I do have standards. People often ask me, "hey weirdo (rude but understandable), what is it the fuck are you talking about? Your vague criteria and condescending tone imply a smug sense of gatekeeping while simultaneously offering no useful commentary to draw inight from, why would you propose such a vapid statement in the first place when it would be way less douchey to just enjoy what you like and let others enjoy what stuff they like?" Then I respond by saying that's exactly what a pop cultural enthusiast would say because I didn't mean THOSE ideas or possibilities, nice try you shallow piece of garbage but I won't be exploring those ideas any time soon.
there is no such thing like drama and pop culture, lot of time those, give ideas for future
Yeah, most of RUclips aims for the shallow. I personally think Mossad has purchased it via Google, and they have agenda.
WOW! What a guy and what a channel! I struck a little bit of gold this morning when i caught this video in my feed and I'm so happy I clicked on it! Very interesting!

Thank you for being you and posting this really informative video.
I really like that this channel takes the time to explain the possibilities of rumors on the internet. Thank you and your team for all the hard work yall do.🤠
I so appreciate that instead of hand waving off people and treating them like idiots, you just did the science, to check to see if what they fear could be possible. I agree with your take at the end that it's far more likely nature crossed with poor maintenance is to blame. It's sad that such a thing is so rare in this information age, but it makes examples like yours all the sweeter for it!
Or arsonists as have been caught elsewhere in order to blame the climate.
But is he qualified? He's not an aerospace expert. Anyway what happened in Maui was NOT a natural wildfire. The trees were not burned down but the cars melted. Doesn't make sense. Had to be a remote directed weapon.
@@sharlafenwick4056 I saw images of these burn spots that were round and black all over the place. That’s why they stopped people from using drones and taking pictures. Something happened there, be it arsonists from that climate terror group they’ve caught setting fires in the past or whatever, those round burn marks didn’t just happen.
Bush fires dobt burn boats in the harbour and cars on a 3 lane highway BS
Even if it was "just" poor maintenance, why then people like green and pelletier are still there, and indeed investigating themselves. After leaving the power on during a hurricane, turning the water off in a fire, blocking the people from escaping, ignoring the possibility of external help as it's normal procedure when local services are overwhelmed, and it goes on. It reminds me on 9/11 when the top personnel, responsible for the worst failure of defense of US soil, were all promoted.
Too many things do not add up.
Thanks for examples and explanation.
Amazing video as always! :)
I live in Maui and about 3 days ago my electrician did a couple routine things, he's been an electrician here for multiple decades and not only has done a bunch of electrical jobs in Lahaina for homes but also large projects and as a result has many contacts of electricians big and small. Point is we were talking about Lahaina and the fires, one of the things I found really interesting that came up was how he had contacts that worked at the main electrical utility for that area and that the utility turned off power to that areas grid but with all the homes and businesses with solar panels and or battery banks portions of the grid actually stayed energized enough to stay sparking if downed...
The local power is designed not to feed to the mains if they have failed. You use an isolating switch to use power locally from your panels/ windmlls/ batteries.
@@soundhill1That's the case for an interlocked system made for backup, but is that the case with grid tie systems?
No sir. There are safety features in the inverter that turn impossible to feed energy into the grid in case of a black out or disconnection of the system. Imagine what would happen if an utility worker touch a supposedly dead conductor in such circunstance...
@@jgalindes This is how it should be, but in reality even with tight regulations it's often not the case.
Especially if people cheap out and DIY stuff with cheap Chinesium without a clue what they are actually doing.
And since China is the biggest producer of solar stuff quality is dropping fast, even with domestic products. Otherwise they can stay competitive.
100% would think in a modern grid with all the quality solar safety goodies but we aren't talking about a modern smart grid but instead a old grid that was first installed decades upon decades ago, renovations have improved it but not a fully modern grid, I could for whatever reason see an auntie or uncle without all the automatic disconnect switches in a very old home that installed solar panels in the past decade or two. I fully comprehend how a smart or modern home and grid with all "t"s crossed and "i"s dotted wouldn't have back feeding issues, randomely guessing I'd say 50% of homes and aspects of the grid could be considered a truly smart grid or home.
The problem is they established the fact the power lines had been shut off that morning and were not hot when the fires were starting. From what you've said and what I've seen, were I to write a novel it would include a hover type aircraft with a blue laser holding over the area with its transponder off. What is also interesting is the weather photos from that time period have been scrubbed from everywhere. A great video, thank you.
Thanks.
Play the odds. Could they have been mistaken(lying), or should we invoke hovercraft?
@@TechIngredients A hovercraft is a water based craft, but a Harrier or helicopter would fit the bill perfectly. Do you have the stats on how effective they would be and at what heights? It's a terrifying thing to ponder but if you watch Dutchsince, he has satellite imagery of a straight beam hitting Paradise CA as their fires were starting. I wish I could make a better case for being wrong but that novel isn't writing itself.

According to Naval Captain Paul Tyler in a 1976 essay, “The Electromagnetic Spectrum in Low-Intensity Conflict,” a “speed-of-light weapons effect” could be achieved with “the passage of approximately 100 milliamperes [of directed frequency] through the myocardium, [leading] to cardiac standstill and death.” In other words, electromagnetic devices with stun or kill settings could theoretically wipe out entire armies-and cities. The patent for just such a “death-ray” device, according to officials of the McFarlane Corporation, an independent Research and Development firm, was pirated from them in 1965 by NASA. The theft was reported in hearings before the House subcommittee on DOD appropriations, chaired by Rep. George Mahon (D-Texas). According to McFarlane company literature, the invention-termed a Modulated Electron-Gun X-Ray Nuclear Booster-could be adapted to “communications, remote control and guidance systems, electromagnetic radiation telemetering and death-ray applications.”
I have posted this a few times here, But I feel that this is Quite important.. Add in NASA’s Future Warfare Doc. And the CIA’s “Fringe”, “Silent weapons..” Doc. And a Terrible picture comes into view.. Add in the lens of The current Fanatical Socialists (since Obama And Every Democrat rigged into office since then ) and the embedded Cultural Marxists running the msm, Current Military upper echelon, DNC, Fed agencies and U.N.Agenda, Brussels.. Well, it’s a a lot to get out. Spreading the word is hard in todays internet censorship minefield but This is a start..
It's not just about the beam-width, you forgot to consider the atmospheric attenuation and absorption
yeah i too wondered why they didnt mention that.
True -- but they are less at 1 µm than at shorter wavelengths. Rayleigh, Mie, etc.
At one micron under ideal conditions the total attenuation(which accounts for absorption and scattering) would probably be under 1% so it's not a major factor.
God bless the people of Lahiana, Maui 🙏 the biggest US tragedy since 9/11 ! Don't let them sweep this under the rug!

Excellent Proogram!!
Great video. I am a weapons designer from a family of fire fighters, so I have been getting hit up for my opinion on this every which way since the rumors started. My response was pretty simple. The obvious retort is there is no reason to do it. Plenty of fires start with arson, why use a laser from space when a flick of the bic gets it done even better. Second, on the blue objects, there are lots of objects which were not burned that were not blue, and some objects that were burned that were blue, and many pictures shown as supposed evidence were not even from this incident, or even this state, so there is no reason to believe the color blue had anything to do with it. Finally, any energy weapon powerful enough to melt in the white aluminum from space could easily melt anything blue, no matter the color of the laser, and it is absolutely going to burn up the black asphalt the aluminum is resting on way before that, and in the pictures with cars melted the road is basically fine every time. I had not done the math on how small the beam actually could be, so I guess it is maybe possible with .5m diameter they directed the beam on just the car and not on the road and kept it stable and melted one car at a time in bursts of a few minutes or even seconds at a time, but it would be virtually impossible to track such targets from space, and again it is entirely pointless since cars already burn and would be expected to catch from this kind of fire, which, again, could be started much easier with a disposable lighter.
😂 this one is wild! How do people come up with this stuff??
A drone would be a more affective delivery vehicle. As to the reason..... it's a new generation of warfare and propaganda. The nations have been using weather warfare since at least the Vietnam War and our governments are passing new taxes and laws based on 'climate change'. Think of a weapon so powerful that would alllow you to burn down anything without a trace..... Think of a weapon that can manipulate weather to create floods, kill crops and manipulate storm systems.
There are several You Tubers that track weather. You can see the glitches on the radars from weapons like HAARP and the movement of weather as a result of the glitches. They always turn into freakishly odd storms in unlikely places.....
"A weapons designer from a family of firefighters" 🤣😂 There's one i haven't heard yet!
@@4tounces yeah, started with my grandfather then an uncle now two cousins too. But I got my degree in mechanical engineering and work as a design engineer with defense contractor. Mostly just kinetics. I had about half a dozen people I grew up with asking how crazy was it really. The answer is pretty crazy. Anything that can melt aluminum is absolutely going to melt an umbrella, it doesn't matter what color any of it is.
Not to mention, you cannot control the way the wind blows. Lighting a fire that could go quickly in any direction isn't the way anyone with a motive other than simply wanting to watch the world burn would do on purpose. There's no logical goal without a predictable path.
A documentary from about 10 years ago mentioned that they discovered that large weather events ( such as a hurricane) boosted the strength of the signal
Makes no sense, a hurricane moves the air sideways, increasing atmospheric blur of a downward beam . Much easier to start those fires with gasoline .
That makes no sense whatsoever.
@@delavan9141
The electricity and frequency waves that combine to strengthen the storm , apparently enhance the strength of frequency of certain other wavelengths

"IT IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN"
Here in Australia we routinely have fires started by discarded glass bottles and we have even found a plastic bottle that someone was using as a water bottle that started a fire beside a road. (That one got me because it takes me ages to get anything but char-cloth going with a water bottle) and there really wasn’t much grass where it fell.
One of our biggest causes of fire for a while was DPF regeneration, I haven’t been keeping up with the fire investigations as much but that seems to be getting rarer hopefully manufacturers are shielding the exhaust better with less places to collect grass etc.
There are many, many DEW vehicles
used to attack the innocent and unaware.
Even CBS news reports they are using
“Trillion Watt Lasers “ to Geoengineer
the weather at will anywhere in the
world, at any time.
They're blaming "climate change" for the Lahaina fire and so many other disasters (earthquakes, tornados, volcanoes, hurricanes, etc.) when in reality they plan & create these events using frequencies, lasers, cloud seeding, & other silent weapons.
They use the pretext of “Climate Change” to advance their goals: create the problem with weather manipulation, then the people demand help, then they advance their agenda to take and control all lands and eliminate 95% of the population as they emphatically stated when they erected the Georgia Guidestones in 1980.
The USAF released a document in 1996 titled “Owning the Weather by 2025” and they have advanced their declaration where they control and modify weather at will around the world we live on.

I once lost a camping chair to a full water bottle focusing sunlight onto it while no one was paying attention.
@@Segphalt ouch that would have been a surprise, I had heard it could happen but I never used to worry about it before I saw it start that fire by itself, because like I said it is usually a pain to get it to work on purpose.
Had a similar problem when catalytic convertors were first made mandatory in automobiles. Especially in fall, when leaves were all about on the ground and could accumulate under a hot cat and ignite.
I've always cleared foliage away from where I put food and drink, leaving stone or bare earth. Safer and bugs tend to not like crossing bare earth.
I loved you mentioned the power generation levels because people forget why we used nuclear pumped X-ray lasers to achieve the needed Gigawatts of energy needed to generate the X-rays. Ranks up there with their other bonkers Star Wars era weapons, like Brilliant Pebbles.
As for the limits of sat based lasers, fiber lasers even, is still the thermal issue where you can't cool the weapon sufficient. Even with the needed power to get the weapon to activate you face duty cycle issues because of thermal issues very quickly. The focusing lenses, etc, also face thermal limiting issues. It's always been the problem with energy weapons, even terrestrial fixed mount is just keeping the thermal controls at the point to prevent the rapid degradation of critical components.
So to put it simply,
If it worked, it would be a single use or limited use item in your opinion?
If that's it, I really don't see that being an issue for people with an unlimited budget lol.
@@user-zn4tq6ib6r Heat IS an issue, a major issue. In space, you can only dissipate heat via radiation. Because of that, it is extremely hard to keep cool with internal thermal sources adding heat to your system. The need for major thermal controls are why the ISS uses Ammonia based systems, which are not used on earth because of how dangerous they are (leaks used to kill a lot of people). But they are highly efficient and effective. Since weight to space is a serious consideration maximum efficiency is needed. Even then, they need to be replaced regularly.
Now single use is possible, but again. You can't fire it for very long before the whole thing melts down internally. People don't really understand how HOT the components of high wattage lasers get. Lasers are INEFFICIENT. Most of the energy does not go into light production but rather HEAT. Even for fiber lasers, which are awesome, you still have a high heat to light ratio. We are not talking minutes of operation here, we are talking seconds or even milliseconds at MW energy ranges before thermal degradation ends the firing sequence. Pulse lasers may last a SHORT while longer.
@@user-zn4tq6ib6r ah yeah hitting a garage door flying through space overhead at 7600 m/s with a glancing trajectory for the laser through the atmosphere. I mean it's technically not impossible but those are some slim odds. It's a massive hurdle to choose to start out with, and for what benefit? Most of the problems are because it's in space; why does it have to be in space? Just put some matches on a balloon and drop them from the sky. Or have a balloon that is just an incendiary grenade and pop it to drop it. That's the problem with all this DEW forest fire nonsense. You need a multi-billion-dollar infrastructure set up to shoot sparks into a tinderbox when you could just pay someone to go there with a lighter. Or, again, do the balloon thing. And we know they're using balloons. But DEWs are fantastical so big conspiracy clout.
@@user-zn4tq6ib6r Then it's not a satelite laser? Also you forgot horizon too. Add double the atmospheric dissipation and lack of stealth, it's just way easier to carry laser near the target.
@@meatybtz Bruh did you just say NH3 cooling systems are not used on earth? NH3 is the main refrigerant, by far, for large industrial scale refrigeration plants, and it is growing because heat pump applications are popping up for this fantastic refrigerant.

Thank you for this very interesting lecture. It doesn't always have to be any kind of handicrafts - I really liked this lecture with background knowledge and how you implemented it and staged it.
Another good video on a random subject. This channel is awesome for just popping a "what if" question i to an old school infotainment style episode. This, boys and girls, is the real "Bill Nye the Science Guy" in action... except he's actually a scientist and not just an engineer acting on T.V.

Today I turn 60 and when I was 16 and long before my father died he revealed to me that we have lasers in orbit that could thread a needle at 10 miles. My father was an extraordinary intelligent person much like the man in that makes these videos .
I am nearly 60 myself and definitely can't thread needles anymore. I never thought of trying to use a laser.
I’m not saying that it would help, then again I’m not saying it wouldn’t.
The govt never tells us what they have till it’s at least 20 years old and they are far more advanced. This way we can surprise any enemies.

Actually I was not thinking of a directed energy laser based weapon but rather a reflective one...mirror-based placed in a high geosynchronous orbit.
It would reflect sunlight with a focusing optic similar to the lightweight one you mentioned in this video...even 1 meter reflector might be able to start the damage off.
A rogue state actor could easily place one in space...especially if you consider that the weapon could be transported in several smaller module-type loads.
Maybe even assembled on a space station...then placed in orbit. There could even be multiples of these kinds of weapons up there...activated at will by bad guys.

What I don't get is how there were purportedly grass fires (with relatively short grass) well away from buildings and other fuel sources that allegedly melted car wheels. How is that possible?
Rubber Burns really hot
@@brothernorb8586 enough to melt aluminum rims? someone should do an actual test to know if it is so...
The cars were on fire. The grass is irrelevant.
@@TheKb117 Tires burn a lot lower in temp than it takes to melt aluminum, but the tires weren't the only thing burning on the cars.
Because they didn't
I've read some stuff on FEL lasers used for naval defense. Their problem for long distances was in atmosphere humidity and clouds rapidly diffusing the beam energy. One way they got around most of that in the paper was by rapidly pulsing the beam. In space the beam would have much further range.
Indeed.
These lasers are huge, and of course, the beam eventually has to pass through the atmosphere, just like starlight.
Did they "get around it" the same way they got around the Navy railgun problems? 🙄
In space more range?.moon laser..lol.or just operates outside the earths and moons orbits?
I guess this would be less of a problem for satellites due to fast lateral movement.
Pulsing the beam also makes it difficult to trace back. That’s how gun lasers work. The old ones would shoot a solid beam. With Modern ones you only see the dot.
I swear you are the most intelligent person I have ever ever seen on RUclips. Absolutely amazing your knowledge. Great work 👏
Thanks for the good zero to 1st order analysis. As some mentioned there are also many factors to cover in making a system work.
amazing how efficient lasers have become, I had an 18W Trimdyne argon laser that required 208 3 phase at 60A to pump out the 18W, the laser tube was 6 foot long with a massive electromagnet to keep the plasma centered.
Same as the Spectra Physics 171, back in the day. But, you forgot to mention the 30 psi of water cooling, 30(? CMS) gpm including a pressure pump, pressure tank, and hoses.
@@edumacat3d oooo, how come you're the first person ive seen say that? that actually makes a lot of sense. Ground fired weapon-just reflect it back. yes, it would have to go twice as far but since all the heavy stuff is on the ground they could just overbuild it. with that said, do i think they went thru all that trouble? nah. they just paid someone to light a match. Or look the other way while power lines sizzled on the ground
@@edumacat3dYeah, but your ground laser must be in close proximity to your target. Overwise you'll end up shooting beyond the horizon, or through thousands of kilometers of atmosphere at best. And even without atmosphere "thousands of kilometers" means humongous spot with little to no warming ability.
There are many systems their not telling us about that are top secret. They can do that now, just because this guy cannot do it doesn't mean someone else hasn't, right? This guy is arrogant because he thinks it's not possible if he can't do it.😮
How big was the cat you played with?
Interesting discussion topic. I enjoy your sense of quantitative reasoning to show how this might be doable.
Watching from New London, CT
This dude just totally validated without actually even saying it the whole blue roof thing about the recent Hawaii debacle with fire. I had to rewind and listen to it several times to let it sink in
I was in the middle of the Tubbs fire in Sonoma County California in 2017, at 5:30am I woke up to the entire area glowing orange and first responders banging on doors for evacuation. The day before the fire/and as it was still happening(and on through while it was being fought) we had very out of the ordinary category 1 hurricane speed winds sustained. Over 70 mph wind sustained for several days- not just gusts constant wind. The night the wind started my whole family had seen the same thing I saw driving home- tree branches down everywhere and power lines being bounced around like jump ropes. Later that night at around midnight is when a downed power line threw an arc and started a fire. There's CCTV footage of it happening. Because the sustained intense wind was acting like a bellows the fire path was erratic, aggressive, and didn't travel like a normal fire does (running in straight lines instead of spreading in all directions because of wind ) and no matter how many times you explain or demonstrate this to people- they really really want it to be lasers... One of my good friends died in that fire along with several other folks and it was a tragedy, people injecting their lasers from the lizard people nonsense is unnecessary and ridiculous.
I say this because it seems when yes some really shady stuff happened in Maui, the roads being blocked the water not being released, that's all very suspicious and shady - but people will take those bits of truth and run off on some trail of breadcrumbs that make no sense. Every source I saw pushing the "only blue umbrellas didn't burn!!!" Nonsense failed to see that directly under and around those blue umbrellas was a wooden deck, railing, rope, fabric cushions and bamboo wicker-all of which was also not burned.... if you cross referenced the behavior of the wind during the 2017 Tubbs fire in Santa Rosa California and the surrounding fires at the same time you will see the same bizarre burn patterns and burn rates. You could overlap footage and not realize it's two different places. Anyway, great video. Was a very informative watch and I'm happy to see someone talking about it in a productive way. Cheers🍻
I saw a video of power lines exploding and people were calling a lens flare that went straight up the beam of a DEW. Totally wrong.
People don't realize that this nonsense affects people. I have elderly patients worried that the government is trying to kill us all with space lasers. There are so many very real and obvious phenomena that occur with fire at ground level. All it took to convince her was to offer any reasonable alternative, like the houses of poor people burned because they had cheap vinyl siding and not expensive hardie board siding made of sand and cement. It could even be true that houses with blue roofs didn't burn and just a coincidence that blue roofs are more expensive, or even have their own higher fire resistance. Proximity of houses is another major factor. These are not the kinds of things that are depicted in a picture of a blue umbrella. I am surprised that no one has considered that the blue roof space laser conspiracy is disinformation, but even that is unnecessary to assume that the government is not acting in the people's interests in Lahaina.
I just imagine how hot vinyl siding fires get when you don't have a giant hurricane force wind changing the area into a blast furnace. Then there are eye witness reports of flaming debris the size of softballs flying about. People don't get just what kind of heat that would generate, and at a high enough temperature anything burns. Why is it that only cars with aluminum rims burned and have puddles of aluminum under them. Must be selective space lasers?
I think that social media accelerates this kind of mass hysteria by creating echo chambers of confirmation, from single observations that support a desired narrative.
There are many shenanigans going on in Maui that likely involve a combination of bad priorities, bad planning, and bad communication in a crisis. There is certainly a conspiracy to shield the people who are responsible for all of those. There is a reason police were ordered to block the roads, which could very easily have not been for their safety. Also someone knows that reason. It just seems more plausible that chaos in the face of a firestorm was more likely than a deliberate conspiracy by law enforcement to murder hundreds of civilians.
I think another good comparison to make is to public reaction and UK government response to the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017.
So, that's cool and all and Yes, it can explain some of the phenomena, but you didn't explain the trees that never burned which were right beside cars which had aluminum wheels, engine blocks & such melted where they sat - same as cars on peripheral blocks near to Twin Towers ... Look it up.
@@glenholmgren1218- as soon as you mentioned the Twin Towers, your comment which seemed interesting became very uninteresting, because I spent two decades chasing twin tower ghosts and none of them came to any fruition.
What a terrible way to make a comment become uninteresting.
By the way… a forest fire averages ~800°C with peaks circa 1,200°C. Melting point of aluminum is circa 660°C. Straight line winds blowing fire could heat target structures (cars, trees, houses, etc.) while neighboring structures (ie trees, buildings, etc.) without fire blowing directly on them could receive a cooling effect.
BTW… Yes, I had seen the church building which had the neighborhood burned down around it… looks like their parking lot was in the right place or a supreme force could have encouraged designers to place the parking lot in the right place, for such a time as this. A directed energy weapon from space would not have melted aluminum, as per this video experiment, since the metal frame holding target combustible products for this lense did not catch on fire or melt for the duration of the experiment.
@@glenholmgren1218 Where can I find photographs of that?
If they can make it happen from a satellite in low earth orbit, then an aircraft mounted system would be magnitudes more effective. I would love to see a video on aircraft mounted lasers, and what they are capable of. Without the limitations of atmospheric distortion, distance, and a far less consideration towards weight, I think they would be a more plausible weapon. You also wouldn't have to worry about the satellites duration over target because an aircraft can loiter.
Exactly, you even do a drone of some type at an even lower height makes size and power requirements very small. Even multiple drones focused on the same area/s.
Laser mounted weapons do exist on aircraft. Even FedEx uses them mostly the military. It’s used to deflect missiles, and/or blow them up.
If anything, it could probably set a small fire somewhere, but not take out entire villages and towns
@@dougmcfee8351 drones, have their own weight issues, just getting themselves off the ground… Let alone, adding a whole laser attack system
