Tyler has already spoke about laser power. Pulse lasers deliver more power on one point than anything which can be sustained, and sustained lasers can't maintain huge power outputs due to heat. So it's incomparable to a nuclear plant, yet it's still impressive what we saw here.
i found a laser rust remover online thats beam width ranges from 1-50mm depending on how close you are to the focal point, assuming the laser doesnt penetrate super deep into the surface of the material (for ease of calculation lets say a depth of 1 mm) and you are exactly on the focal point of the beam, that is just about 2000 watts/mm^3 or 2000000 watts/cm^3 laser beams can get extremely narrow and deliver incredibly high power densities with a much lower amount of power than youd expect
@@jlinkous05 this is a continuous 2kw laser. As tyler pointed out he thought that when it was small it may be comparable to nuclear plants that he even gave the same range I did. He simply excessively under-assumed the power density of this laser. Feel free to check my math and the numbers cited in the video.
I love the slow progression from "no way thats near the power density of a nuclear reactor" to "okay I can totally see that" haha. Would totally be interested in seeing you react to the Backyard Scientist video!
I'd love to see Tyler react to the Backyard Scientist video if only finally to see somebody utterly eviscerate the terrible laser safety in that video.
styropyro's series on a 1944 science book got him a visit from the FBI from how many chemicals he bought at such high volume... So this is actually pretty tame.
imagine you're sitting on a park bench reading your newspaper and the thing is starting to burn for no reason (other than Styropyro firing at it from 4 km away!)
@@ProtoHadron you know, basic stuff like shocking with high voltage tesla coils, eye surgery with lasers or causing 3rd degree burns with a flamethrower
Military already has much more powerful ones used on navy ships. Israel even recently developed the iron beam for point defence against missiles and drones.
Talking about energy density, I think the laser can concentrate those 2kW into an area as small as 1 mm^3 (basically a sphere of 2 mm diameter). If you take that to a cm^3 that would be 2MW that a nuclear power plant would have to reach.
I have never seen someone with such high odds of being either a much appreciated guest at a CIA black site or held against his will at one. I am not sure there is any in between.

When he says that it has more power density than a nuclear reactor he is right, he meant when the laser was not scanning witch the dot might only be 1mm or so across which you can tell the beam is static at 5:22

I like the way he said the forest was moist, because otherwise I'd think he was one of the kids that will surely burn the area down. Even just to blind everyone a scanning rotary laser of that power could sweep an area.
That LASER turret with some gyro stabilization would be just the thing to have on your yacht in pirate infested waters, although conventional weapons would be good as a backup just in case.

"Military applications" yes indeed, I've studied this years ago and the fiber laser has changed everything replacing the DPSS (Diode Pumped Solid State) laser for much higher efficiency as in >50% wall plug to laser output. They get into the megawatt power levels, Do a web search and see them use a 5KW fiber laser to shoot down drones from a KW distance. I offered this guy my KW fiber laser 5 years ago to play with but back then he declined having not experimented with that power level before. Now he has. Thank you for your professional opinion and feedback, Ken.
We need people like that, its how we accidently come across new ideas, I watched his video the other day and i think he is amazing, yes there is a lot of messing around but you have to make it interesting to get the viewers, behind the scenes he puts a lot of work into protection, 1. his eyes 2. making sure the beam does not leave his land 3. knowing the pace he lives is that wet he is not going to start forest fires. He puts the fun back into science, thats how it should be ;) ....
Easy answer to the energy density question - one is electromagnetism in the near visible spectrum, the other is the strong force :) It's pretty lopsided (100x). If you had electromagnetism at the same energy density as the strong force, you'd know it by the x-rays and gamma rays going everywhere :)
Imagine trying to invade this guy's property, as he just casually sits in his freaking laser turret and sets all your close on fire from a ridiculous distance
'Military levels of fun' reminds me of an interview I once saw with an army explosives expert who said he had so much fun in the army getting a ton of ordnance together with his army explosive buddies, a few beers and an afternoon of blowing stuff up.
He lives in a place where the chief of the local volunteer for department calls him every day to see if he needs to get out there with the guys and a case of beer.
I would be very carful with that idea. As per the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons; Protocol 5 article 1 "It is prohibited to employ laser weapons specifically designed, as their sole combat function or as one of their combat functions, to cause permanent blindness to unenhanced vision, that is to the naked eye or to the eye with corrective eyesight devices. The High Contracting Parties shall not transfer such weapons to any State or non-State entity." Sure its intended to apply to military forces, but I personally wouldn't want to screw around with it.

6:00 I think It easily exceeds the power density of a reactor as the power is dissipated mostly in the surface of the target over a few mm^2 when used as a minimum sized beam or a paint stripper if one thinks of instantaneous power. Thats a volume of perhaps a few mm^3 at 2000W and that is more like >10-100 kW/cm^3.
Hi Tyler. Hope all is well. I was in the US ARMY and I've never thrown an M67 Defragmentation Hand Grenade since. Trust Mee when I say Military Grade Fun is the Universe of magnitudes above Civilian Grade Fun. HOOAH
Even this hardware is not the Universe but it is still more than a few magnitudes below it. He is doing this from the surface. I'm sure that military can do this while aerial, miles above the surface and they can fire miles up from the surface.
He's preparing for when the ATF inevitably shows up and that one Japanese sniper tries to take his wife out.. Imagine thinking it's your regular day at work, you start looking through your scope for dogs and pregnant women, and all of a sudden you smell something burning...

Maybe I'm alone in this, but I expected to see some AMP UP ops on the core. I'm guessing that's for the next video. My last laser days were with a 7w Argon laser. I spent something like 7 months learning about it, rebuilding the water delivery system for the cooler circuit and preparing the room for my first flip of the switch of something which had sat and gathered dust for a decade. That beast had been replaced with a bunch of super cheap Ruby lasers, and finally some ND-yag units which I ended up loving since they were reliable and made great pictures simple, and didn't need a night-mare level of PPE to even validate. Those little guys were in the 500 mW range. Stilll wow... Trying to even get around the power density for this rig. What the heck does this kid have for a bill?
15:49 yeah if he made a Home Alone: Mad Scientist you wouldn't be hurting cause those car batteries would have atomized you before your realized where you stepped
He needs the scope/camera combo that GarandThumb sometimes uses, in a "turret" like that, set it up for a live feed to a screen. Zero it to a set distance and learn the adjustment based on range and height over bore. Same idea as using a scope with a rifle, but I'm guessing ballistics would be easier to account for lol
I didn’t learn about the after effects of nuclear explosions from the movie Oppenheimer. I learned it from school and books. There was an episode of Pawn Stars where a customer came in to sell some stuff and one of the items was a small glass container that had some of the sand turned into glass chunks from the testing site. Pretty cool stuff though.🤪
When he hit that Tungsten with the focused beam it gave me an idea: It seems a reaction between Lithium 6 and Uranium 233 in a pebble bed in an oxygen free environment of Ultra High Frequency Hydrogen Plasma would be an interesting experiment to conduct under the influence of this beam.
I was going to say the exact same thing. Inverse square law is only for isotropic (equal in all directions) emission. Focused RF or focused light beams don't follow that law.
Us Military's been experimenting with laser weapons/defense systems since about a decade before the USSR collapsed (and probably earlier). These days they're mostly being considered/tested/etc for missile/rocket defense (key word, mostly) and they're actually currently in use by Israel for "close range" (
Not just the US, the UK, US and several other euro countries have been experimenting with the idea since the 1960's though they were generally messing around with chemical lasers rather than electric.
I agree with others. That tiny dot of the laser is not thick beyond the wavelength of the light, so it should be way beyond a reactor. Not sure how you'd guess a half cubic cm when it's light levels of thin
I've worked with some high power fiber lasers. He's probably right about power density before the optic section. Since the tip of the fiber optic strand is typically no wider than a human hair and all 2kW would be passing through that point. Just imagining the military ones that are getting closer to 100kW is mind boggling.
This is basically taking 2 square meters of sunlight and compressing it into a beam less than a millimeter wide, so burning through a tungsten rod makes sense
"Let's smoke this pot." Is a Hickock45 reference. Whenever Hickock45 shoots clay pots that's what he says. He's an old gun RUclipsr, been on RUclips for many years.
Honestly, if he made a stable mount, added a good scope on top and zeroed it in for the distances he wants to shoot at he'd be capable of defeating any home invader ever
If i remember correctly Colin is a plumber, though he doesn't let that stop him from trying to prove that you can make just about anything. Some of his inventions are more successful than others. His flying cycle is impressive in that it flies, but it's so unstable and hard to control that it really isn't practical to really use. Still incredibly cool. Last years he's been digging a tunnel from the house to his "secret" man cave that's built under the backyard. He has discussed plans to build a submerged garage with a way to lower the far from overhead garage down into the secret garage under the ground. I can see that whoever will be trying to sell his house are going to have a very interesting listing of secrets and features you don't expect to see in a standard house.
re. the first reactor of half a watt... might want to watch Tino Struckmann's videos about the German early nuclear power plants, the first one was built in a house basement, another later (during the war) was under a school.
Possibly the funniest little detail with Drake's videos is the deliberately obvious overdubbing of swearing. The one at 26:20 is a great example; he's so far from the camera, but the "heck" has been recorded really closely, in an acoustically dead environment. And the sweetness of his smile is proportional to the level of danger he's about to create ... and expose himself to. Wonder whether I'd have as much fun if I dropped out of my research degree as well ... 🤔 EDIT: HIs place reminds me so much of Hunter Thompson's Owl Farm near Aspen. Very similar outdoor activities, just without as many guns ... or drugs (as far as one can tell from RUclips, at least). But I don't think Drake needs them to view alternate "realities". Hehe.

Man if I had land.. One of those things with a stable platform, precision gimble system, proper aiming optics and remote camera... Oh the fun..
the whole point of the lens is to get rid of the inverse square law.

If i remember correctly Colin is a plumber, though he doesn't let that stop him from trying to prove that you can make just about anything. Some of his inventions are more successful than others. His flying cycle is impressive in that it flies, but it's so unstable and hard to control that it really isn't practical to really use. Still incredibly cool. Last years he's been digging a tunnel from the house to his "secret" man cave that's built under the backyard. He has discussed plans to build a submerged garage with a way to lower the far from overhead garage down into the secret garage under the ground.
I can see that whoever will be trying to sell his house are going to have a very interesting listing of secrets and features you don't expect to see in a standard house.
@@blahorgaslisk7763 he has started building the garage!
burning that dollar bill is technically a federal crime
re. the first reactor of half a watt... might want to watch Tino Struckmann's videos about the German early nuclear power plants, the first one was built in a house basement, another later (during the war) was under a school.
Possibly the funniest little detail with Drake's videos is the deliberately obvious overdubbing of swearing. The one at 26:20 is a great example; he's so far from the camera, but the "heck" has been recorded really closely, in an acoustically dead environment. And the sweetness of his smile is proportional to the level of danger he's about to create ... and expose himself to. Wonder whether I'd have as much fun if I dropped out of my research degree as well ... 🤔
EDIT: HIs place reminds me so much of Hunter Thompson's Owl Farm near Aspen. Very similar outdoor activities, just without as many guns ... or drugs (as far as one can tell from RUclips, at least). But I don't think Drake needs them to view alternate "realities". Hehe.
Ok, so you confirmed styropyro
He will be engraving his name on the moon in no time.
the laser point size is under 0.5mm diameter- however it is ocilating back and forth to apear larger.
Imagine his neighbors...O.O...their neighbor has a Laser Cannon. But at least it's not a shootie stick...so it's fine. lol
note to self, never go near styropyro uninvited
Styropyro needs a stretch of test land out to several miles.
Imagine how Maui residents felt. Crazy
