So... all this time, all of those super villains from comics to cartoons, who wanted to steal jewelry to power their lasers... weren't just using made up science?
Science is usually the inspiration for science fiction and interestingly vice-versa.
HORRIOR ha tru
@@PiyushGupta-vx6qi Very true. Jules Verne would be one such example. He accurately described how both a rocket ship and submarine would work in his science fiction books.
The first laser was made with a ruby core, and now we have different cheaper materials for lasers
@@xanderbriggs2794 synthetic rubies too, since synthetic rubies are ridiculously easy to make I wouldn't be surprised to see a ruby-diamond laser
Soooooo... what you're saying is...
I can make a Death Star!!!
Cactus Horse this means that diamonds are kyber crystals.
Cactus Horse all I want is sharks with freaking laser attached to their heads.
pretty much. All you need is a ton of jellyfish and some diamonds
Iron man
A ton? eh?
the most common jellyfish is the moon jellyfish
moon jellyfish weigh 0.070547 pounds
there are 2000 pounds in a ton
2000 divided by 0.070547 = 28349.8943966
soooo..about 28.5 thousand moo jellyfish and some diamonds...And BOOM! Death Star!
Someone pick up that damn phone.
It's 1975 calling. I can't finish the joke because I don't know what they wanted. Because no one answered the damn phone.
AFTER YOU POINTED IT OUT I STARTED HEARING IT DAMN YOU
an Undead Soldier ikr drove me crazy
I paused the video to make sure it wasn't a phone I didn't know I had.
an Undead Soldier 😂😂😂

+Aydin Bolat +crackheaddinosaur no, it is "Light Amplification through Stimulated Emissions of Read more" it actually works as an acronym for LASER because the R is "Read more" get it?
I was way to amused with 'a certain trademarked star of death'
Julian has a knack for clever and amusing ways to phrase things
First youtube video, huh?
nothing is better than the sun because sun is a *deadly lazer*
Tell Me This 😂
(not anymore there's a blanket)
Irok 121 wow now I can go on land and have *babies*
lol
sun is not a laser, sun is a giant fusion reactor!
Why is this a discovery? has NO ONE really tried this? For me it was so self-eveident all along that you can use crystals to make a singular light beam… I legit thought that this was a thing for years and discovered decades ago.
I’m more confused than amazed. Why has no one actually tried this sooner?
The thing is it's really hard to do because you have to point all the lasers at the correct angle and if they're off by even 1 degree, it won't really be able to work.
because women love diamonds and nerds do not get women. but really it is because we needed perfect diamonds aka those created. not the crap we dig up from mines. ;)
I would have thought this technology was already in use with fusion experiments ... guess not ... 💎
AwesomeWinter I'm pretty sure it's not that nobody has come up with it, it's like everyone's already said, it needs a certain quality of diamond, which is cut exactly and the lasers need to be focused on the exact right spot too. I've had the exact same thought before, and the concept has most certainly been used in sci-fi many times over. But I guess the easy path was to make them more powerful single lasers at first and try and cool the equipment, before taking this route.
Let's just say that scientists are too busy bathing themselves in cash.
Wow!!! 7 years ago I was thinking about how to use diamond's prism like property to maximize laser power output. It is real now and it is exactly the same as I imagined how it would work
The diamond lazer is open not closed
Lasers to make the Death Star proud.

What system do you guys play on?
Before all of the star whores, there was James Bond, "Diamonds Are Forever (1971)"
I think the design was pretty much what is being discussed here, except being powered by sunlight in orbit over the earth. Even the animation of it and description in the movie encompass much of this idea.
I was thinking the same thing when I watched this clip.
Yep. the man, not even close to born that year
Seeker I prefer the name seeker but what gave you the idea to change DNews to Seeker. I am just interested and think it was a wise company decision as we seek answers.
Aman thank you. I must've missed that video I've been active for ages now but I probably didnt get the notification!
they changed owner
Copied from the comments a few months ago:
Welcome to Seeker.
If you’ve been with us for a while, you probably know the name. Moving forward, what was once DNews will be continuing to focus on all things science and exploration. You’ll see some new things on this channel in the coming weeks, as well as the same science news and big questions we normally post! We aren’t going anywhere.
Why is all this happening? Well, we’ve joined a brand new company called Group Nine Media. We're teaming up with NowThis, Thrillist, and The Dodo. Together, we’re here to tell incredible stories, and make stuff that matters.
If you’ve got any questions, or just want to say hi, please stop by our subreddit. It’s a little easier to answer there.

Stokes Pen Thanks
The technology to track incoming objects and focus a distributed array of multiple lasers onto that object as its moving at supersonic speeds is very, very impressive and deserves more that "they've been doing it for years".
1.super sonic speeds are so much slower the effective light speed in a medium .
2."they've been doing it for years" is actually pretty precise, although the guy who wrote this doesn't really understands what he is talking about. but yeah in my lab we are working on exactly MOPA lasers, and this no new tech at all..
3. it's kind of sad that seeker gets so much subs, and views, when he doesn't even checks the details of such claims
Supersonic missiles huh?
❤️
Hits blunt
what if you use a Time Crystal . Will the laser go back in time
David W Theres no such thing as a time crystal. What are you 12?
He is fucking joking, dude
There is such a thing as a time crystal, but that's not how it works. Time crystals are an arrangement of quantum entangled matter that reaches its' lowest energy state by oscillating in part along the t axis of spacetime, rather than just the 3 spatial axes.
What you actually see is a closed system which keeps flipping spin states in a regular way after the energy user to pump it has been switched off. It's great if you're a physicist studying fundamental properties of the Universe (because this sort of behaviour is supposed to be impossible. Since it's not, we have misunderstood something, and time crystals are a way of working out what, and how to fix what we know), but otherwise probably pretty useless. They definitely won't let you shoot lasers at the past :)

And here I was thinking about avenger infinity war
Don't give North Korea any ideas...
Dhoth, why not? the Americans bombed northern Korea pretty well into the stone age, killing millions of people, so how did that work for us today?
NK defense spending annually, 7.5 billion. US defense spending circa 750 billion. NK interventions in foreign countries since WW2 = zero. US interventions = over 70. NK OS bases = 0. US OS bases some say over 1000. So who is the problem child here? Who should we worry about? Sources below.

www.globalfirepower.com/country-military-strength-detail.asp?country_id=north-korea
johnpilger.com/videos/breaking-the-silence-truth-and-lies-in-the-war-on-terror
Dhoth, you may have been joking about NK but there is a powerful body of complete psychopaths trying to convince the world that North Korea is a problem. That Iran, Syria, Russia, China, Sudan and others are the problem.
The truth is that the psychopaths are the problem and whilst wars make them money, they'll keep investing in the companies that make the things that kill people and they'll keep wars going as long as your average Jo (you and me) buy the BS their selling about who the enemy is.
Turbo-Laser technology in Star Wars isn't actually laser technology, they're blasters. Cohesive compressed blasts of high energy particles that happen to share the common colors of lasers.
The death-star weapon is theorized to be an strong-nuclear driven reaction using Khyber Crystals in a Reactor that produces a beam of antimatter that literally 'annihilates' a planet.
Glad I'm not the only one to point this out that the "lasers" in Star Wars aren't real lasers like we think of them.
An antimatter explosion the size of a planet? Suicide star...
Next on my search history:
How expensive are ultra pure diamonds?
very
Great Video! May I ask which program you are using to generate your (technical) animations in the video? Thank you.
We need to build these powerful enough to destroy/deflect asteroids.
Or blow up Neptune so debris can land on Pluto and make it bigger so we can call it a planet again
Andrew Enriquez lmao
Kati OBrien we have nukes for that
Kojo Vitez We need more than that. We need Bruce Willis to cooperate.
Thrust in 100 megaton bomb called Tsar. Few of them could change trajectory at least, depending on size, but if we have nuclear arsenal to destroy our planet 10 times imagine what we do to some asteroid even if it was size of our planet
Weirdly... I already figured this out and I'm not a genius
I made this concept in real back in 2011 with 85% combing efficiency! sold to military for some dozen of $$kk i am a laser applicator
@@DataSpace17 wow nice! you might be getting a visit from the government if that's true tho...
This technology has been around since the 1970's
So all those cartoon mad scientists who needed a diamond to make their death ray were right all along.
Love the star war references
Well I was GOING to make a Death Star joke, but you already beat me to it!
"Lasers Are Great, But Diamond Superlasers Are Better, Here's Why...........they're fucking DIAMOND SUPERLASERS"
FRIKKEN JELLYFISH WITH FRIKKEN LASER BEAMS
Anyone else think this guy looks like Gordon Freeman from Half Life?
Cory Bridges- Cox
Kinda.
Cory Bridges- Cox Looks more like his son
Cory Bridges- Cox Yep
half life 3 leaked gameplay
Too much talking. Also, no crowbar, 3/10 IGN
You know what would even be better? Ironing your damn shirt!
Superlasers into all put together to make a diamond superlaser and all of those put together to make a DIAMOND MEGALASER?!
So can I ask the scientist to try using black diamond
Star Trek really started the laser concept. Please use the episode ‘Pattern Of Force” as an example when both Spock and Kirk developed a concept of creating a laser device to help aid in their jail break by using some tiny crystals, embedded into a metal support strip formed into a ‘V’ taken from a bed frame and a simple illuminating lightbulb.
How big is the diamond to amplify laser power to be powerful?
But what was the shape of the diamond?
0:01 wow you in five seconds managed to get the entire star wars fan base hate you in less than 5 seconds
@seeker Julian, the beard is cool. Also, why lesser frequency of content? Whatever happened to test tube plus, test tube or dnews in general
This has been a concept in sifi forever lol
When I saw the thumbnail (while not noticing it was this channel) I thought that diamond was a Chaos Emerald
The first laser was built in 1960, not the 1950s (although work on masers was happening in the '50s). Theodore Maiman and his team at Bell Laboratories built that ruby laser. Apparently it still works!
Does the diamond beam function as a Raman laser, with the pump beams merely exciting the diamond medium? Because it's all very well to point a bunch of beams at a target (as has been done), but unless the beams are in phase then you lose energy.
What if you use the diamonded laser as more seed/pump beams? Could you create really powerful lasers that way?
Oh! This explains the large diamond mechanism in kiryu! Makes sense! Focus 3 power beams and to the diamond and generates enough power to shoot the Absolute Zero Cannon!
I want fricken sharks with fricken laser beams on their heads.
Just waiting for sharks with frickin laser beams on their heads
Had to look up the University mentioned. It's "Macquarie University". Sounded *REMARKABLY* like "McQuarrie", as in Ralph McQuarrie, the artist/designer who came up with the design for the Star of Death™
People always speak about Star Wars/Trek when talking about this, I think a better way of getting your point across is using the thingy Doctor Octopus was trying to create in Spiderman 2. You know, the thing he used to almost destroy the whole town.
Tom Barnes *Says the one with a lightsaber in his profile picture.*
What about fiber optics.
you say "focus throught diamond" i hear, "adapt into lightsaber"
Probably the best way to make it EVEN MORE powerful, is to get 4 of the 'superlasers', combine them the same way you do to make a 'superlaser' and BAM. A mega laser
0:45 I was absolutely amazed that he didn't say cats.
I'm honestly mind boggled how obvious some of these new discoveries are I mean we would shoot light through a prism to separate light would it be possible to have it combine
Consider using vapor deposition with progressively doped layers to produce a variable-density diamond rod over which progressive and properly phased laser inputs can become both additive and channeled down the length of the tube. Think "fiber optics," as they use the same principle.
There were a million movies with diamond super lasers. Science finally catchin' up.
I'm just, fanboy happy that the kaiburr crystal in a lightsaber may finally have some sci fi precedence.
Please do an episode on phase change materials and possible consumer applications.
So... how much longer until we can get lightsabers?
Shine bright like a diamond
Wow God must have some very powerful lasers. You know that God harvests diamonds like we harvest rice!
How is this done?
The military are combining the laser light from a number of solid state lasers to produce a single more powerful beam, I would be interested to know how the combined beams are maintained phase coherent.
This may sound dumb, but can you combine red, green and blue laser (using said technique w/ diamond, for example) to create *white laser*? @Seeker
I did a report on lasers for Science when I was in sixth grade, I think. I've loved them ever since!
I guess the 1971 James Bond movie Diamonds are forever was ahead of its time.
"virus waiting for a selfie" got my like
My mom came in my room without asking while watching this video
Then the video started loading until - precisely while my mom closed the door - it continued
Thank you RUclips
Lol
*Combining lasers through a diamond*
Someone's been watching cartoons
What prevents the diamond from heating up?
well the diamond amplifies it but it also can keep that energy like a battery possibly using diamonds as precharged ammo then recharge lot of stuff in between there but might work.
killowatt tier lasers would be so dangerous, anyone who even saw the diffuse refraction would have permanent eye damage without protective eyewear.
So I guess to make a death star all we have to do is..... MIIINNNEEEE DIAAAAAAAMOOONNDS
first make 3 very strong lazer beams point to a diamond making a super strong lazer beam
do that 3 times, then point the 3 super strong lazers point to a bigger doamond, so ya get an even stronger hyper lazer
then continue the chain untill ya blow up a lab, then try it again but stop before ya get as much force as you did to blow up the old lab
profit: A MEGA STRONG HYPER LAZER!
Lasers are cool. Another great vid Julian
"Diamond Superlaser" what sci-fi movie am I in right now?!?!?!
So are they using some wavelength that the diamond works like a optical confinement/pump/nonlinear optical crystal, similar to how NPK converts two photons IR to one photon of green? Or does it knife edge all of them by bending the light along the same path. I build, mess, and toy with lasers and physics as a hobby and this video gives me more questions than answers.
What if you got the seed beam output into another diamond with the other beams as well
In the distant future, we will literally be able to use lasers to play back music. By spinning a reflective disc upon which the music has been recorded, scientists believe we will be able to play music from portable laser music devices even smaller than an iPad.
The waves combine as constructive interference when two or more waves got phasedifference of zero or a multiple of PiRadians.... It also reminds me of how superwaves monster waves at sea are created when waves addup(rare phenomena)
Its funny how just about 100 years ago if someone said we'd have phones and cars that can talk, dramatic increases in physics such as MRI machines, or super lasers using diamonds they would think your nuts. Wonder what else science will discover?
*Chalenge:* You have a way to generate laser-beams with the power of the strongest Deathstar (1 or 2), what positive things can a laser like that be used for?
(be creative)
+4.6kW to what? What was the power of the seed beam and pump beams? Could the output be fed into another crystal and pumped further enhance the strength of the beam, or is there a theoretical limit to what can be gained?
Hey thanks for the vid...but now im wondering if graphene could work in the same way? Maybe graphine sheets on glass in the picon meters might work better then a diamond. Hum... A diamond custom cut and then coated with something like tungsten, to act as a high temp mirror on some of the sides, could reflect the other beams back back into the main one or the extra beam can be reflexted back for another pass, ideally transfer more energy into the main beam. Starting with a 100 watt laser, i wonder how many times you could repeat this process. Of course using fiber optics for the beams and mirrors and keeping the moduals separate and cool. I wonder what kind of divergence you get on the new beam? I wonder now if you ran the same beam thur a series of diamonds would that tighten the beam by affect its divergence. Oops sorry, too long. Great vid. Now let me get my wifes engagement ring to run a few experiments.
It has been obvious, scientifically, that diamond and high-energy lasers (especially UV) have a special affinity with each other. I keep waiting for someone to 3-D print a diamond-film metal-doped (REE?) alloy ultra material. I believe it will not be long until there is a 3D printable rival to CNT (and of course carbon fiber) materials.
Who needs a planet-sized laser when you can get the magaretheans to make a planet-sized computer?
Still waiting on compact weaponized lasers that would only require one person to wield.
Maybe I'll see it in my lifetime.
60 more years, people.
0:16 So... we can make a star of death?
0:43 How does adding energy to substances reduce the temperature of said substance?
1:16 Guess not... :(
When is trace going to continue to work on seeker plus ?
This was used in the Movie "Congo" from 1995 lol...'ish'
I heard that when light is passed through all 32 sides of diamond all light gets add up and come as a single beam from the top .might be possible with lasers too
Somehow I imagine a little kid came up with this
Waits for THE SUN IS A DEADLY LASER jokes.
Plasma vacuum channel blooming mitigation
One main issue with diamonds and light: Most diamonds (by their molecular nature), refract, reflect and absorb about fifty percent of light waves. Ergo, less light, less energy.
- Best regards to ALL!
This happen a long time in the show zack and Cody when a laser worked by 💎
so we combined multiple lazers into one super powerful one via a rare and valuable crystal with extraordinary properties
soooo when will we discover the force ?
I wonder if they shot a residence beam at the diamond in different frequencies if it would change the power output of the laser passing through? Like the way sound changes the flow of water. Could it also manipulate the laser beam to come together inside the diamond increasing the output. Or will the residency change just a laser beam without the diamond?
I am too poor to try that experiment.😕
so the basic concept of a light saber? focus the beams just right and the power drops off around the tip of the "sword" where the lasers loose focus.
and just like that Light sabers that hold a sword shape can work. second trick to figure out is getting light to become a solid. perhaps a renaissance frequency.
Sounds a little like Disney's Atlantis.
I thought of the same idea back in 5th grade when we were being taught about refraction in prisms ;-;
So it runs cool, and needs diamonds. This ep. is the chilling sound of your doom.
