It's weird hearing him talk like a human and not an AI voice program lol
Haha 😂
You've really achieved something when you make styropyro call something cursed and act genuinely afraid of something.
My man scared the dude that makes war crimes in his basement and chases tornados
Allen looked genuinely frightened when he was looking for light leaks!
It's like the moment that his inner self staved off to prevent the tipping into lunacy, mad beyond any stopping the development of absolutely unreal lasers and beam weapons culling a new age of warfare as he ascends a mountain of bones for he hath devoured all

@@silverrey7379 I mean that only gives insight into how confident Pyro is in his craft and how serious he takes security precautions when working on his own. Makes me respect the guy even more.
Cool idea here to make this more effective:
1.) Make the square larger, much larger. About the size of a 2x2 canvas.
2.) Weld or attach a hanging hook to two sides of it. Make sure they are opposite.
3.) Change the press and hold button to an "on/off" switch.
4.) Grab some chains, go out on your deck, and center the square in between the railing and the wooden beam directly above it, drill the ends of the chain into both sides, and stretch them taut. Itll hold the square in place and upright.
5.) Get a cheap Lasko fan with an extendable base, a 16 inch or so would be fine, and place it in front of the grid on the deck, as close as you can to the lasers themselves. Face the fan towards you and away from the grid, and turn that sucker on.
It'll create a suction vortex that will grab any mosquitoes and other flying pests that wander too close to the grid, and suck them through.
Also, you don't need to worry about attracting them. My theory is that the lasers will transfer heat to the metal square, through the mirrors over time. And they will transfer heat to the mirrors themselves.
Mosquitos can see thermal energy with their eyes (how they determine if something is alive and has pumping blood), so they will likely see the mirrors and metal being heated up, and fly on in to check it out.
You have yourself an automated, laser grid, mosquito zapper.
Mosquitoes detect humans thanks to CO2.
@@bogoulbog6964they likely have sensor fusion: heat in the correct range of intensities / wavelengths + motion pattern + co2 + time-alligned fluctuation of those factors, maybe some organic shape traits and / or visibke spectrum info. I've never seen a mosquito try to bite an inanimate object even if it had the right temp.

That scene from resident evil kept me up staring at the clock on my wall for a full hour when I was about 12 years old, long with the rest of the movie which also terrified me
Tbh, Allen's laser grid fly swatter was cool af but I think Styro's tesla gun was much more effective at dispatching insect swarm than waving around a death star racket.
scp approved
a fan + some fire would do it. probably just need a fan + 2 candles to heat up a pipe perhaps.
@@rgw5991I dont think he wants to burn down his house
the mistake is making it a racket and hitting the mosquitos, mosquitos are parasites and they can sense when we exhale, they actually find living things by sensing co2 when we exhale and they even look for the angle the co2 is moving because its always exhaled at a similar angle in most mammals, so they look for co2 moving downward at certain angles and also heat, that is how they are so good at finding us, you can actually buy mosquito traps that emulate humans breathing that use co2 and they trap the mosquitos inside, so if he used a co2 tank and put a nozzle behind the grid at a 45 degree downward angle that along with the heat from the lasers should fool the mosquitos and they will goto and linger around the grid long enough to get hit by it eventually, who would want to waste time tracking them down when you can bring them to you so easily.

if you could build servo mounted mirrors that create a fan pattern pointed away from you, with the laser being guided quickly back and forth within that fan pattern you might be able to get the bugs from an armchair 5 feet away.
How Ted Talk allowed a FAKE idea?
Congratulations to Allen to make Styropyro scared of his laser contraption. An achievement for the ages.
You should get a super strong air fan, constrain it’s exhaust, and put the laser at the end. So the mosquitoes will get sucked and blasted into their doom. (I think it will be fun with the electric shocker as well)
That's... actually a pretty good idea.
A giant laser vacuum.
Make the lasers spin for max coverage.
You would only need to use one focused point then and it would be very efficient with a big funnel to suck them in, perhaps a lid on the bottom to empty out the bodies.
bro just imagine the deck setup with two giant vacuum electric traps, you switch it on and all the mosquitoes are gone instantly.
wording is everything...
@@FleshlyDelight that would cost like another $200 to make lol
@ 6:01. Kevin - "Backdoor Scientist" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
WOW that TED show idea was my idea before I see it on TED. but your idea is genus too and much more easier to do ... I have learned a lot from your video ,,, Thank you! and for sure "like"
The tracking laser mosquito net was very real, and was a proof of concept in a "tech to prevent malaria" challenge. It didn't track the mosquitoes by appearance, but by the frequency of their wing flapping. It used a high-speed camera and was so sensitive to this it could even differentiate between species of mosquitoes and kill only ones deemed unwanted (who wouldn't label all of them as unwanted?). With a proper powered IR laser you can easily galvo scan a large area (consumer ILDA galvos can hit 60k points per second) and toast the skeeters.
The poor bugs won’t even realize they’re dead
a million dollars bug zapper... Still a great idea. For roaches as well!
There's only a couple species of mosquitos that bite people but there's a couple hundred total species. That's why some are wanted and some are unwanted.
Do you happen to have any links we could follow?
processing high speed footage real time sounds like a nightmare. Then comparing it to a data set, and then targetting the laser and firing. It was definitely faked so much so that they definitely made a way to identify and a way to shoot a target with a laser. I very much doubt it worked in tandem.
Congrats Allen! I think I can speak for many of us mosquito haters who feel that it is very important that you continue to pursue improving upon this technology until you create a version that can be submitted to the retail sector. Do it for humanity, bro! 🙂
I'm fine with dealing with some ruined clothing, if this is super effective and keeps me from getting bit.
This would actually be a great video to do a ted talk about, maybe do a presentation on tech hype vs practical application in reality
ILove that Kevin is credited as "backdoor scientist."

instead of using opencv or similar for image tracking, just track the difference in pixels and black spots, it will be way more accurate this way, basicially having an angular resolution equal to the pixel density and distance of the object. Then just accept the fact that it will zap anything in front of it.

I love how he bring the idea we all imagine only, to real life
Great job! I was thinking how cool it would be to have a bowl of the insects favorite food with the lasers mounted above it!
an obvious improvement to the efficiency would be to have proximity sensors on the racket so the lasers only turn on for a split second when the mosquito is within the grid.
That's what I was thinking, you could have a low powered laser and a photo resistor as a detector to switch the main beam.
Efficiency? We're out here bringing laser death and you're mumbling about *efficiency*?
This should be used as a mosquito net. Just create a forcefield around the bed.
A sensor that would detect a single mosquito edge to edge? Also, it would have to fire the laser within, what, 1 ms?
@@dingdingdingdiiiiing Sure, if it flies anywhere in the area it would break the beam, you just need to choose an angle that gives you a tight grid, or near parallel lines. 1 ms is a long time in electronics.
Allen, make one that has a tiny LED light in the center and make sure it's well-sealed, then set it on a rotating motor and the LED light will attract bugs and we saw it hits more bugs when in motion, so I feel that may help without having to do a huge rebuild, sick invention, btw
that actually sounds genius
This is literally one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen
I watched your video with my VR headset on and at the end I was convinced bugs were crawling on my arms!
Bugs are attracted to lights, right? Turn the normal light off and just leave the laser on.
The laser may not be visible to them
I'm not sure they can see it. I was thinking make a box of these grids with a little light and some sugar water inside to entice them.
Allen, styropyro and Kevin(backyard scientist) is trio that should have never been
Allen, I’m sitting on a pile of ideas and videos. I am inspired by your work and have been watching since 2015- watching super backer I had a question…
What do you do about demonitized videos ?
How can you afford to make these videos without monitization ?
Are sponsors your only source of funding ???
What are the benefits to making videos that you love vs videos that the algorithm loves ???
I know you may probably never respond…
But even being able to manifest these questions- was enough motivation for me to move forward-
Even though you tricked me into believing you were Canadian with your news network… I still love ya ❤

He never responded....
here you can see the silicon valley phenomenon play out in its entirety
1) idea for an upgrade or disruption cribbed from sci fi or other speculative nonsense
2) that turns out to be really hard so make a scaled down version that omits the most important part of what made the idea interesting in favor of the thing that seems coolest
3) that's still really fucking hard so you scale it down even further
4) final product is far inferior to the thing it was meant to replace. nobody wins.
Styropyro - Creates death lasers and deadly chemistry recipes. Does 1 colab with Allen - Fears for his life. Love it.
YAY! more Allen!
Alright, that was awesome.
Galvos are expensive and annoying so I think what you did was a really good solution!
Next up, make an even bigger and tighter grid that can fit in a door frame, then add some high voltage being pulsed in as the laser slightly ionizes the air.
i volunteer to test
And here i was sloving my mosquito problem with dragons breath shells.
three people genius collab and make new product change the world. i think really cool ahh
You know it is sketchy af when styropyro himself is scared for dear life.
You should take the microwave generators and try shortening the wavelength to short enough to kill a 1mm fly. Basically making a high density infrared beam of bug killing destruction (but more likely to shock and kill the user)
wouldn't that also set _anything_ in front of the beam on fire?
@@NICK.... collateral damage
@@voidwyrm6149acceptable losses...
*Cancer joined the chat*
That's not how microwave generators work. He might as well build a new source at that point.
Edit below:
I don't mean to underestimate Allan. He might be able to repurpose the guts easily, but precision-maching the correct resonant cavity, tuning the electronics to match it and putting it all together just-right is an enormous endeavor.
Magnetrons are complicated as hell. The fact that anyone can buy a microwave for few dozens is a miracle made possible by economies of scale.
I have a practical idea that I made in 2nd grade. Its a hammer, with a magnet on the end, and a compartment in the handle for nails that have holes with magnets that fit the nails in so you can grab them without the rest of them falling out. The prototype was layered cardboard and spray paint, and the nails were glued into their holes.

Seriously. They're all so happy and in their element. It looks like they all had such a fun time : )
I suggest you motorize the laser so that the reflected beams make a virtual surface instead of a grid with holes.
Was thinking of a way to do it with two parallel mirrors and a nearly perpendicular entry angle, but given the quality of mirror needed your idea may be much cheaper. Just need a tiny mirror mounted at 45° on the end of a high speed motor shaft to ensure a practically inescapable sweep rate. Combine that with circular shroud to absorb the beam and a large fan to draw the insects in. (It sounds workable enough that I wonder if that already has a patent?)
old barcode scanners use a single laser with motorized mirror going back and forth so fast you see a line.
I'd use that as a source and just supercharge a laser!
Edit: Mirror is not motorized, it's on a spring and has a magnet, and then a simple solenoid shakes it really fast!
@@zlac If the beam moves to fast it might not burn the insects, but if it is possible to control the speed precisely then it is an even better idea!
@@Bencurlis Actually, if it's moving fast enough, it may cook the mosquito before it can get past the beam! >:]
I had always imagined the laser at an odd angle that just keeps reflecting until the area was completely filled with a plane of light.
Bro taking jabs at a man making autonomous rockets and cars and yet unable to kill mosquitoes in his home.
Allen, NileRed, StyroPyro, and Backyard Scientist fascinate and frighten me at the same time.
I thought I saw that presentation, I was under the impression that they used the frequency of the wingbeats to identify and target the target (the wings would reflect light which the camera detected as a flash). That's all that the camera could pick up, which means they must have used specific lighting to achieve it.
mosquito wing beat frequency is between 600hz and 1000hz, so you'd need a 1200 - 2000 fps camera to pick that up - aka, no, I highly doubt that's how it worked

lmao 9:41 havent seen styro laugh that hard in any video. hes loving it
1. You only need one kill laser.
2. You don't need perfect squares. 3d print something you can fine tune with screws. Glue the mirrors on that.
3. That laser engraver is far too strong. You only want to kill bugs.
4. Make the frame bigger.
5. Pulse the laser.
6. Add a second low power cheap infrared laser. This detects something crossing its beam, and immediately pulse the bigger laser.
This means you can leave this running 24/7 without eating up the lifespan of the kill laser. The detection laser is lower power, last longer, and is cheaper to replace.
And using lower power and pulsing means you can use regular cheap mirrors, so you frame can be as big as a door.

Nah, we already have the tech. The problem is that if you want to use machine learning you need to get a lot of labeled images with mosquitos to train a good model, and you would also need to process very high resolution images given the size of a mosquito. And that would require very expensive hardware.

@@TheBaxes You don't need any of that - all you need is a bright enough light to light the bugs up and identify the location - you don't need to identify that it's a mosquito, you just need to know "there's something bug sized at location x,y,z" so you can point the laser there
"Daaang that one works way better."
Perfect outro. 😂
“I mean, it’s like, uh, I mean, it seems, it seems like, uh…”
Congrats, you managed to freeze up styropyro somehow.
Instead of a Swatter, try converting it into a Trap. Place a Light directly underneath or behind the Grid and turn all other Lights off in the surrounding area. Make a second Grid and rotate it relative to the gaps in the first one, then place them together for more consistent results.
Downside is you won't just be getting Mosquitoes, but I imagine you will get a ton.
Aren't Moskitos more interested in CO2? Not exactly sure, but some dry ice might be more useful. Wouldn't want that trap inside though.
