I think the secret is right in front of us. In Goldmember, when Scott finally gets Dr. Evil his laser sharks, it demonstrates its power by sticking its head out of the water and blasting an anonymous henchman. As you mentioned, lasers travel a lot more efficiently through air, so a laser weapon makes a lot more sense as a weapon for sharks to attack enemies that are out of their reach, ie out of the water. And this actually fits, since great white sharks are known for their tendency to stick their head out of their water so that they can track the position of seals on the shoreline. They even have specialized eyes that allow them to see just as well in air as in water. Sharks are already deadly enough in the water without lasers, but can't do much to victims that are still on land. A laser would be a dastardly solution to this limitation. Of course, if this is the purpose of the laser, then it probably would make more sense to use a more energy efficient weapon, like a bullet, since bullets don't travel very well in water but quite well in air. Or maybe even a grappling hook so the shark can pull its victim into its reach. I imagine besides the obvious shock factor of using a laser weapon, as well as the chance to use cool future tech, a laser would have one final benefit. It does have limited range in water, but then again, it doesn't need much range. A shark's jaws have a range of 0 and are still pretty dangerous. Instead of using the beam itself as a weapon underwater, the shark could use the laser at short range to disorient and intimidate its victim, and most importantly, using the heating of the water to injure and cook its next meal.
Yes, but if it's a blue/green laser not only can it snipe targets above water it can still hit things under water that are trying to escape its teeth. Shark cages and diver propulsion systems commonly used by secret agents will not protect someone from a laser shark. Add some sort of shark mind control, a laser com system, some low light or light amp cammeras, and a phased array sonar system and one of your higher level minions can control an entire shiver of sharks from within the submarine mobile lair.
This was what I was thinking as well. Another benefit of a laser shark is the ability to easily cool the laser. Lasers can get quite hot, so they often need large heat sinks/cooling systems. A shark could fire at a target above water, then go back down to let the laser cool in the water, then go back up and repeat. This would allow the laser to be lighter, because it wouldn't need as large of a heat sink/cooling system. This way, you could get a more powerful laser for less weight.
You forgot the best part of a L.A.S.E.R, reloading. While bullets might be more efficient in terms of energy, sharks have a distinct lack of thumbs to reload a gun with ammunition thus making a weapon that doesn't need to reload a big bonus. Otherwise I completely agree.

@@deathsheir2035 Correct, but for a regular shark/orca there isn't much difference between sound and light speed (as in it wouldn't speed up the communication process because both happen, relatively to it, instantaneously).

Correct. The diffusion mentioned in the episode would be, if the laser is powerful enough to be an effective weapon, released in the form of a localized thermal bloom. As he mentioned, water would create a superheated steam cavity along the path of the laser. This would, of course, Kill The Fish (do not kill da fish). A laser powerful enough to be a weapon that could easily kill a person or a target quickly would be in the tens of kilowatts (40 or more for a person over a few seconds) to up to about a megawatt to be effective. Besides the fact that the power system would slow the shark down, you run into the issue that a laser kills a person by, well, effectively flash-microwaving them (in non-organic targets, causing a small patch to melt through to something thermal sensitive or explode from dumping thermal energy into it. In organic targets, the cells literally flash boil and go off like microscopic popcorn causing horrific, hard to heal wounds if not outright exploding and blowing off limbs rather... yeah, laser weapons are bad and if we could make man-portable ones you really shouldn't because it would kind of be a war crime). So, yeah, your shark would accidentally kill itself by either accidentally boiling it's face off, causing a localized cavitation event (mantis shrimp'ing itself), or it's using it's laser to blind and/or communicate for maximum... Evil. Granted, you could use frickin' laser sharks as kamikaze drones with great effectiveness, but in that case you could just strap a torpedo to them and blow up an area with a couple of dozen pounds of high explosives.

The bit where Kyle beeped the Microwave and turned it into a graph made me laugh. Not just air out my nostrils like laughing at an internet funny, but an actual laugh. Nice.
Interestingly blinding laser weapons are against the geneva convention from 1980. But I guess manbun doesn't really care that much about stuff like that.
Because Science presents: "The Rise of Man-Bun" Potential new vignette series where villain and hero Kyles battle it out in the void to save humanity from itself.....
Hey Kyle love the show, I really do. Beyond all the uses for Shark Lasers underwater which would make them great for utility there is another aspect to these creatures as weapons. Sharks are already perfect man-hunters underwater, and Laser Sharks could be trained to surface and fire deadly lasers at targets outside of the water.
Additionally, why use visible light lasers to have sharks communicate, which could conceivably by monitored by the glows they make, when electromagnetic signals in other parts of the spectrum can be detected by hammerheads? Just train a bunch of those
Hey Kyle! Huge fan of the show! This episode hit on one of my favorite topics, and that is how sharks are actually far more complex than we give them credit for. On that note, I have an idea for another use for the shark-mounted laser. Island security. Great White sharks have been observed spyhopping, sticking their head above the water 's surface to take a look at objects or creatures that aren't immersed. Newer studies have also shown that the Great White shows inquisitive and social behavior on the level of a wolf or dog. I feel like a combination of these two would be where the best results would happen. Train a pack or two of toothy-water-doggos to defend your base against amphibious assault. To teach them, you could set a massive amount of chum or meat on a boat with a few holes drilled into the hull, enough to leak but not sink. The blood would get the sharks curiosity, and once they are nearby, you strike the boat with a laser from above the surface. Once they make the connection that their new head-beams can sink the boat and get the tasty tasty (and now cooked!) meats, but not from below the surface, just reinforce that behavior. Train them like you would a pack of dogs learning a task. Sink a couple empty boats without the laser, and then sink another meat-filled boat by hitting it with a laser. Condition them to associate the sinking of a boat via laser with tasty treats. Then you just send out a meat-filled boat every week or so for the sharks to sink themselves. Regular feeding will keep them nearby instead of spreading out like apex predators usually do, and you could even vary the engine types on the boats to teach them to recognize various boat types. Then you just beef up the air defenses of your island base. Then the meddling.... interlopers, scan the base, see massive air defenses but little to no surface-level sea defense and think you are overconfident in your defense grid. They attempt a covert landing via a small boat and your newly trained water-doggos sink it, which would leave the interlopers with no option but to get in the water. Once immersed, the giant toothy good boys don't need to utilize their lasers, they could just use what evolution gave them.
Define "laser communication" amongst the sharks. Unless you use cyber-enhanced or robotic sharks, they are still living beings. In order for the laser communication to work you would have to inplant that laser in the sharks brain (which would make the shark a cyber-enhanced being) so that when a laser hits the device some kind of signal or impuls would be given to the brain that will make it go a certain way along with the other sharks. And you'd have to inplant the laser PERFECTLY to prevent any brain-damage that would cause disorientation. Would't drones be less cool but more effective?
The sharks wouldn’t necessarily need a laser interpreting device to receive and interpret information sent by other shiver members. Sharks have specialised sensing organs called ampullae of Lorenzini that can detect electric and magnetic fields in water. Thus, since lasers are electromagnetic waves, a product of electric and magnetic fields, these biological devices could be utilised for shiver communication rather than technological devices. There would also have to be other factors at play though when considering this. For example, neurological restructuring for the shark to further be influenced by information inputs and outputs. Ps: Love the show.
this is a great and fun channel! love the bun Kyle! I think you're forgetting 2 things: first, if you're using the weapon laser scheme, you forget that with any powerful enough laser, there's gonna be a lot of heat, and even under water, this heat will hurt your sharks rendering them useless. second you are forgetting totally of the biological component, the sharks themselves; most shark species don't attack without provocation and in normal conditions they attack from beneath their prey, so the attack could not be as effective as the horizontal attack that your graphics suggest. my advise for you (if you were a master super villain) is, go for a bull shark (carcharhinus leucas), it can survive in both fresh and salty waters and have enough size to support a good-size laser device attached to their bodies, extra point because is not threatened specie.
Hey Kyle, two things. Sharks could quickly surface to blast unsuspecting heroes off the deck of the super boat, bypassing the beam through water. They could also use the laser cutter to cut holes in the hull of said boat to sink it. Love the show. Manbun 2020
You could also train the sharks to think of anything the light is shining on as food. Give the laser a targeting system that always shines on the shark food when you feed them but is also programmed to shine on your enemies. The laser might also be programmed to only work when out of the water. So the sharks can get targets dangling over your death trap, and not yet in the water.
one of my favorite rule exploits in the role playing game Dungeons and Dragons, is what we call, "The Peasant Rail Gun". there is a rule in D&D that states that a single round of combat takes place in 6 seconds. so you form a line of peasant 1 mile long, and hand the first one a cannon ball. on each of their turns, they pass the cannon ball to the next one in the line, until the last one, who just lets go. the cannon ball travels 1 mile in 6 seconds. getting launched at 600 MPH. going from 0 to 600 in 6 seconds results in an acceleration in standard units of 89.4 m/s^2. the average mass of a cannon ball is about 15 Kg. this means that the line of peasants releases it with 1,341 newtons of force, and when released, has 539,581 Joules of kinetic energy, and these numbers increase proportionally as you increase the length of the rail gun.
With regards to sharks communicating by laser light, Humboldt squid already do this - they use their chromatophores to flash red and white, which is why they're called "red devils" by fishermen
If we're assuming live sharks then the possibilities are quite limited, but if we're allowed animatronic sharks (and maybe something larger like a whale shark), then we have plenty to work with in terms of batteries, power output, and other sneaky weapons. Plus moving through cold ocean water, we can get away with a lot more power output and without overheating laser heads, batteries, plasma cutters, torpedo tubes, and other things. I recommend batteries (possibly the upcoming solid state batteries) instead of combustion engines so that they're more quiet underwater and can't be distinguished by sonar.
Many sharks use electroreception which can detect electric fields to catch prey. Some like the hammerhead have very sensitive sensors ‘ampullae of lorenzini’ and so would be very confused with these very powerful and electrically active machines attached to them. There are cases where sharks (Great whites) have reacted to voltages of one millionth of a volt!
So, I actually did alot of research on sharks a bit ago for a school paper. The sharks you would want for weaponization would be Tiger Sharks, due to their trainability, ability to be tamed, and physical properties. Sharks are very intelligent and trainable animals, but few are tameable. First off, the difference between taming and training is to train is to learn a behavior, while to tame is to become domesticated. From sources I have found, tiger sharks can be, and have been tamed. These sharks also have a good size, around 8 ft, have a bite force of 3300 kg per cm^2, usually weigh between 400-650 kg, and just look cool as heck too. They can digest almost any diet in the wild, and have some of the best Sight and Smelling of any shark. They aren't that fast compared to other sharks their size though, having a normal swim speed of 2.4 mph, though they are able to swim at high speeds of 20 mph in short bursts. There is a problem though, as they do need a relatively large space to live, and reportedly, while in captivity their diets narrow and they become exclusive to the food they eat, turning away some of the offered foods. Overall, even with the drawbacks of captivity, the tameability, trainability, and physical prowess combined shoes you'd want a Tiger Shark to be your shark with a frickin laserbeam on its frickin head.
If laser sharks were communicating their attacks then that would imply that these are super intelligent sharks that know battle strategies which is terrifying in and of itself
There is one thing that you are forgetting, when deep underwater if a pocket of air is created the water basically creates a shockwave as it refilled the bubble, so essential your Lazar could just be a pulse based weapon that relies on that possible bone shattering secondary shockwave.
I think the secret is right in front of us. In Goldmember, when Scott finally gets Dr. Evil his laser sharks, it demonstrates its power by sticking its head out of the water and blasting an anonymous henchman. As you mentioned, lasers travel a lot more efficiently through air, so a laser weapon makes a lot more sense as a weapon for sharks to attack enemies that are out of their reach, ie out of the water.
And this actually fits, since great white sharks are known for their tendency to stick their head out of their water so that they can track the position of seals on the shoreline. They even have specialized eyes that allow them to see just as well in air as in water. Sharks are already deadly enough in the water without lasers, but can't do much to victims that are still on land. A laser would be a dastardly solution to this limitation.
Of course, if this is the purpose of the laser, then it probably would make more sense to use a more energy efficient weapon, like a bullet, since bullets don't travel very well in water but quite well in air. Or maybe even a grappling hook so the shark can pull its victim into its reach. I imagine besides the obvious shock factor of using a laser weapon, as well as the chance to use cool future tech, a laser would have one final benefit. It does have limited range in water, but then again, it doesn't need much range. A shark's jaws have a range of 0 and are still pretty dangerous. Instead of using the beam itself as a weapon underwater, the shark could use the laser at short range to disorient and intimidate its victim, and most importantly, using the heating of the water to injure and cook its next meal.

Kyle: One down, 436829 to go. Note to self, cancel one lazer bee strike.
So SHARKS WITH FRICKING LASER BEAMS ATTACHED TO THEIR HEADS would actually be used for espionage rather than super-villany, nice.
So sharks now have lazarbeams???
YEET
Damn kyle has amazing hair
"Closelier" sounds like that French inspector in the Pink Panthlier.
Kyle has finally revealed his true colors as the villain MANBUN
Why does Kyle behave more and more like a supervillain for each episode?
Because we pushed him into it.
My first time seeing a laser shark was in The Lego Movie
Same
You must be under age 25
@@madscientistshusta Yep
Man bun, truly the most villainous hairstyle.
The bit where Kyle beeped the Microwave and turned it into a graph made me laugh. Not just air out my nostrils like laughing at an internet funny, but an actual laugh. Nice.
Last time i was so early the newest invention was the wheel
Oof
Damn you're old then...
Interestingly blinding laser weapons are against the geneva convention from 1980. But I guess manbun doesn't really care that much about stuff like that.
Evil Kyle is more afraid of PITA: a bunch of those guys don't follow the Geneva Convention...
Kyle, never microwave pizza rolls. Always use the oven!
I love how Kyle becomes more British as he becomes more evil.
Are catfishes attracted to laser pointers?
My sister just walked in on me watching this and asked why I'm watching Jesus
Tell her: "This is Thor, a nordic god."
Because Science presents: "The Rise of Man-Bun"
Potential new vignette series where villain and hero Kyles battle it out in the void to save humanity from itself.....
then both of them died n earth dont give any f...the tale lost in time...
This evil manbun character is my absolute favourite. Please have him back!!!!!!!!
Baaaby "LASER"-HEADED-KILLER-FISH doodoodoodoodoodoodooodooo
@@therewillbefire1833 well, technically speaking, yesn't. XD
So, there have been 2 Kyle's this whole time!
Bird Box meets Jaws:
"Because being blind underwater would be a nightmare."
"One million watts" Oh man, I frikken loled irl. Perfekt!
Cover the science of the Atlantians in the Aquaman movie!
I fully support this
Yeah!!!!
I thought it was physics girl at the intro
lmao😂😂
Hey Kyle love the show, I really do.
Beyond all the uses for Shark Lasers underwater which would make them great for utility there is another aspect to these creatures as weapons.
Sharks are already perfect man-hunters underwater, and Laser Sharks could be trained to surface and fire deadly lasers at targets outside of the water.
Sharks, that fire small torpedoes, and those torpedoes carry laser warheads.
Additionally, why use visible light lasers to have sharks communicate, which could conceivably by monitored by the glows they make, when electromagnetic signals in other parts of the spectrum can be detected by hammerheads? Just train a bunch of those
The one way I would Never wear my long hair is in a bun.
Never.
"I'm on a watch list." Hahahah!
If you're watching this show, he was probably in your UA-cam watch list 😉
Hey Kyle! Huge fan of the show! This episode hit on one of my favorite topics, and that is how sharks are actually far more complex than we give them credit for. On that note, I have an idea for another use for the shark-mounted laser. Island security.
Great White sharks have been observed spyhopping, sticking their head above the water 's surface to take a look at objects or creatures that aren't immersed. Newer studies have also shown that the Great White shows inquisitive and social behavior on the level of a wolf or dog. I feel like a combination of these two would be where the best results would happen. Train a pack or two of toothy-water-doggos to defend your base against amphibious assault.
To teach them, you could set a massive amount of chum or meat on a boat with a few holes drilled into the hull, enough to leak but not sink. The blood would get the sharks curiosity, and once they are nearby, you strike the boat with a laser from above the surface. Once they make the connection that their new head-beams can sink the boat and get the tasty tasty (and now cooked!) meats, but not from below the surface, just reinforce that behavior. Train them like you would a pack of dogs learning a task. Sink a couple empty boats without the laser, and then sink another meat-filled boat by hitting it with a laser. Condition them to associate the sinking of a boat via laser with tasty treats. Then you just send out a meat-filled boat every week or so for the sharks to sink themselves. Regular feeding will keep them nearby instead of spreading out like apex predators usually do, and you could even vary the engine types on the boats to teach them to recognize various boat types. Then you just beef up the air defenses of your island base.
Then the meddling.... interlopers, scan the base, see massive air defenses but little to no surface-level sea defense and think you are overconfident in your defense grid. They attempt a covert landing via a small boat and your newly trained water-doggos sink it, which would leave the interlopers with no option but to get in the water. Once immersed, the giant toothy good boys don't need to utilize their lasers, they could just use what evolution gave them.
zap nom nom
This episode is honestly the funniest yet. Thanks for the laughs not-evil man.
If only my school science lessons were half as entertaining as this, I might've learned more stuff.
Define "laser communication" amongst the sharks. Unless you use cyber-enhanced or robotic sharks, they are still living beings. In order for the laser communication to work you would have to inplant that laser in the sharks brain (which would make the shark a cyber-enhanced being) so that when a laser hits the device some kind of signal or impuls would be given to the brain that will make it go a certain way along with the other sharks. And you'd have to inplant the laser PERFECTLY to prevent any brain-damage that would cause disorientation. Would't drones be less cool but more effective?
That end bit was frickin gold! 😂
Kyle very secretly tells everyone about his evil plans and then refuses to be super villain
The sharks wouldn’t necessarily need a laser interpreting device to receive and interpret information sent by other shiver members. Sharks have specialised sensing organs called ampullae of Lorenzini that can detect electric and magnetic fields in water. Thus, since lasers are electromagnetic waves, a product of electric and magnetic fields, these biological devices could be utilised for shiver communication rather than technological devices.
There would also have to be other factors at play though when considering this. For example, neurological restructuring for the shark to further be influenced by information inputs and outputs.
Ps: Love the show.
this is a great and fun channel! love the bun Kyle!
I think you're forgetting 2 things:
first, if you're using the weapon laser scheme, you forget that with any powerful enough laser, there's gonna be a lot of heat, and even under water, this heat will hurt your sharks rendering them useless.
second you are forgetting totally of the biological component, the sharks themselves; most shark species don't attack without provocation and in normal conditions they attack from beneath their prey, so the attack could not be as effective as the horizontal attack that your graphics suggest.
my advise for you (if you were a master super villain) is, go for a bull shark (carcharhinus leucas), it can survive in both fresh and salty waters and have enough size to support a good-size laser device attached to their bodies, extra point because is not threatened specie.
Hey Kyle, two things. Sharks could quickly surface to blast unsuspecting heroes off the deck of the super boat, bypassing the beam through water. They could also use the laser cutter to cut holes in the hull of said boat to sink it. Love the show. Manbun 2020
You could also train the sharks to think of anything the light is shining on as food. Give the laser a targeting system that always shines on the shark food when you feed them but is also programmed to shine on your enemies.
The laser might also be programmed to only work when out of the water. So the sharks can get targets dangling over your death trap, and not yet in the water.
one of my favorite rule exploits in the role playing game Dungeons and Dragons, is what we call, "The Peasant Rail Gun". there is a rule in D&D that states that a single round of combat takes place in 6 seconds. so you form a line of peasant 1 mile long, and hand the first one a cannon ball. on each of their turns, they pass the cannon ball to the next one in the line, until the last one, who just lets go. the cannon ball travels 1 mile in 6 seconds. getting launched at 600 MPH. going from 0 to 600 in 6 seconds results in an acceleration in standard units of 89.4 m/s^2. the average mass of a cannon ball is about 15 Kg. this means that the line of peasants releases it with 1,341 newtons of force, and when released, has 539,581 Joules of kinetic energy, and these numbers increase proportionally as you increase the length of the rail gun.
Laser is actually an acronym for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation"
Years later this is still the best Channel on UA-cam
So nobody noticed the description says "Kyle gets his evil doctorate?"
Happy thanksgiving Kyle and your team! Awesome episode
The evil manbun strikes again, he finally showed himself after being hidden behind the scenes for so long.
I just realized... Kyle could use the wrong equation on purpose and virtually no one should even bat an eyelash
Just the intro alone had me hooked on this video 😆
Edit: also the description is gold. You seem to have earned your doctorate in supervillainy
With regards to sharks communicating by laser light, Humboldt squid already do this - they use their chromatophores to flash red and white, which is why they're called "red devils" by fishermen
If we're assuming live sharks then the possibilities are quite limited, but if we're allowed animatronic sharks (and maybe something larger like a whale shark), then we have plenty to work with in terms of batteries, power output, and other sneaky weapons. Plus moving through cold ocean water, we can get away with a lot more power output and without overheating laser heads, batteries, plasma cutters, torpedo tubes, and other things. I recommend batteries (possibly the upcoming solid state batteries) instead of combustion engines so that they're more quiet underwater and can't be distinguished by sonar.
sometimes the villain's techniques are more interesting than the "hero's" fumbling ways of getting out of them.
You also could use the laser sharks to send fake informations to submarines using that kind of systems.
Kyle, I've realized that you're not a supervillian, but you're training supervillians for some nefarious purpose.
Love your videos!
Many sharks use electroreception which can detect electric fields to catch prey. Some like the hammerhead have very sensitive sensors ‘ampullae of lorenzini’ and so would be very confused with these very powerful and electrically active machines attached to them. There are cases where sharks (Great whites) have reacted to voltages of one millionth of a volt!
All the air quotes bring me back. Thank you sir.
The laser was never about being a practical weapon. Dr Evil said it himself: "I figure every creature deserves a warm meal"
11:58 "many, many watts"
1.21 gigawatts, perhaps? GREAT SCOTT!
Kyle keeps saying "We're not Super Villians" you know exactly who'd say that? A Frickin' Super Villian!
So, I actually did alot of research on sharks a bit ago for a school paper. The sharks you would want for weaponization would be Tiger Sharks, due to their trainability, ability to be tamed, and physical properties. Sharks are very intelligent and trainable animals, but few are tameable. First off, the difference between taming and training is to train is to learn a behavior, while to tame is to become domesticated. From sources I have found, tiger sharks can be, and have been tamed. These sharks also have a good size, around 8 ft, have a bite force of 3300 kg per cm^2, usually weigh between 400-650 kg, and just look cool as heck too. They can digest almost any diet in the wild, and have some of the best Sight and Smelling of any shark. They aren't that fast compared to other sharks their size though, having a normal swim speed of 2.4 mph, though they are able to swim at high speeds of 20 mph in short bursts. There is a problem though, as they do need a relatively large space to live, and reportedly, while in captivity their diets narrow and they become exclusive to the food they eat, turning away some of the offered foods. Overall, even with the drawbacks of captivity, the tameability, trainability, and physical prowess combined shoes you'd want a Tiger Shark to be your shark with a frickin laserbeam on its frickin head.
If laser sharks were communicating their attacks then that would imply that these are super intelligent sharks that know battle strategies which is terrifying in and of itself
There is one thing that you are forgetting, when deep underwater if a pocket of air is created the water basically creates a shockwave as it refilled the bubble, so essential your Lazar could just be a pulse based weapon that relies on that possible bone shattering secondary shockwave.
