Hey good on you for emphasizing the importance of proper PPE. I remember in Physics 2 a professor told us a story about a Yag laser blinding a technician. He had moved his safety glasses up for a better look at what he was working on, dropped a wrench into the beam, and it instantly blinded him in one eye. All within a second. Lasers are legitimately terrifying.
they're basically live machineguns that silently shoot trillions (more) of photons at "high velocity" towards a target. you wouldn't just accidentally jostle a firing machine gun roulwd you
I was wearing a special welding helmet made by IPG in this video, and there a sticker on the inside that says "WEAR IR SAFETY GLASSES UNDERNEATH HELMET" for this exact reason. I was worried the $450 helmet I bought didn't actually protect against IR light, so I called them and an engineer told me it does 100% protect you from the laser, but not stupidity haha.
I've been waiting a while too, couldn't afford one. But now I have more questions. Laser dishwasher, laser toast/steaks and most importantly, can you laser clean a toilet? Is it legal to erase the faces of money and print your own on it? and more importantly, could you still legally pay with it? Basically it is real money?! Damn, I need one of those.
Man this is perfect! I was starting to think my chainsaw was becoming too harmless. Now I can burn, cut, and clean with the same tool while still looking like a chainsaw!

Um, for someone who has worked in places like the federal reserve, one of the biggest counterfeits we see in the industry is people "washing" ink off smaller bills and printing the larger bills on them. They are usually really bad because its not easy to get the ink off, and they scrub so the texture is off. You just showed them how to do it better lol. One of the biggest challenges in counterfeiting is the paper
@@au5music ehhh if you do it right you technically found a unlimited money glitch and you can easily make your money back within a couple days just printing $100 bills
@@jonslg240 secret service goes after anything money related.... I think that's what he was referring to. He does have a dog though I think, so he should worry about the ATF as well.
The actual "paper" that money is printed on is almost impossible to recreate and unprinted it's extremely valuable, there's been cases in the past of people taking lower denomination bills, stripping them, and then reprinting them as higher value bills so I wouldn't be surprised if Secret Service came knocking lol.
it did used to be harder till they started trying to save money(every penny we make costs 1.6 cents kinda deal) get a counterfeit pen and mark a phone book some of them use the same paper you can even see blue and red threads in it under magnification,hairspray gives it that feel but it will stink if you don't run it thru the washer/dryer
I'm assuming either the FBI is gonna come knocking, and/or that lazer is gonna be banned erm... Discontinued by the manufacturer now since it's on video what can be done...? Lol (If that lazer is even available to the public in the first place?)
@@tobysonline4356That good thing is that we are filled with alot of fluid, like the tree he cut down the fluids will fill the hole the laser created and prevent it from going too deep to fast.
I /think/ the grounding clip wasn't on it, so maybe equivalent to a visibly-safed gun? Feel like it's worse than a gun that's visibly unloaded (ie. safety flagged), but not as bad as a gun that's loaded but has the safety engaged.
Ye, some people don't realize that risking a chance of setting your eyeballs on fire can be a bigger deal than chance of setting your house on fire (atleast when it's just your house). I don't know how well can this type of laser reflect off regular metals that it is supposed to be used on, but I suspect some shiny or glass object can send a stray ray into yer face and ruin the retina in microseconds.
At the start I was also pissed that they weren't wearing protective gear. I've watched enough of the styropyro to make me want to wear goggles even if the laser isn't very strong
Oh boy, I've never been so glad to be awake at midnight! Kevin: these laser heads cost a thousand dollars to replace so you have to be careful with them. Also Kevin: *attaches laser to chainsaw* Now that's the backdoor scientist we all know and love!

I would very much air on the side of caution regarding this application. We've had readers contact us in the past saying they've bought handheld laser welding systems, however are not able to use them due to safety risks/laser firms not being able to produce goggles for these systems/lack of training available. Also, at a recent laser processing exhibition, a safety firm I spoke with (producer of goggles and windows for enclosures) remarked that they are not going anywhere near this application due to the risks involved, which I thought was quite noteworthy. From what I've learnt myself about laser materials processing technology, the best solution is to always have the laser contained in a Class-1 format away from humans (in a machine, behind barriers with fume extraction technology). It's not like other handheld welding technologies and poses very different risks. That's just my two-cents. But as I say other readers have bought these systems and then just have them lying around gathering dust as they can't actually use them within the safety laws of their country.
@@TheBackyardScientist So what you're saying is... only a brave enough man can use it? Man it truly is a shame that such a thing is reduced to a toy for adult kids to play with, i've read a bit of that article to check cause i've thought it's not worth it cause of the upkeep but it truly is just cause of safety and lack of awareness in this field? That's just sad, but as you've shown safety is nowhere near this thing, you could kill a person in a second and make them blind in a fraction of that. But how do you make a death laser safe? Yeah general use isn't ready for this, but at least some people can use it as private owners and for a content creator like you this is golden. Since this field is still active i'm looking forward to many uses for lasers anyway, maybe in space, where there isn't a lot of things to burn and breathe in, but i don't wanna jinx the laser making a disco party on some planet bajilion lightyears away
@@TheBackyardScientist i already thought your 200w laser was absolutely illegal but this right here is a whole different dimension. still hard to believe that its allowed to have this.
To be fair, people probably said the same thing about other technology that was hazardous. As long as it has safety features that stop it from being dangerous, it's ok.
I'm just gonna say it: Kevin has basically every UA-camr beat. Not even Styropyro has a laser this powerful (yet)! Amazing video dude, I look forward to seeing more!
what is the strongest laser he has? i thought its only 45 watt. even the backyardscientist had a 200 watt laser in one of the previous videos. styropyro has to catch up (maybe by building one of those military grade lasers with 2 mega watt of power).
Usually when i watch laser video’s even the super draining lasers that use alot of energy take about 3 seconds to melt through metal and require alot of precision to keep it in the same place. But the fact that this melts through metal in milliseconds instead of seconds is blowing my mind.
@@darkshadowsx5949 Literally none of what you said was right, and most of it didn't make sense. For a start, the spectrum has no influence on the amount of total power (beyond the energy per photon - which green actually has more energy then IR). The wavelength of light affects the absorption of the target material. If you want to cut copper, Green will do far better then IR, as 532nm is absorbed much better then 1064nm. On the other hand, if you try and cut something that is green with a green laser, it won't go as well, as most if not all the green light is reflected off. Nonlinear Crystals actually requite extremely high peak powers to even work. The crystals become more efficient, and the effect becomes more prounounced as the intensity of the beam increases. This is why NLCs such as BBO or KTP are usually used with a Q-Switched laser. The laser is focused in on the crystal such that the intensity of the beam is at, or close to (depending on the power density theshold and max electric field densities) it's focus point.
This man using lasers for destructive purposes makes me truly believe that we're living in the goddamn future. Also, playing Bad Apple at the end caught me so off guard.
This was epic Kevin. I'd love to see a tear down of the laser. What type of juicy HV we talking about here? Also - that plasma speaker at the end is just delicious.
Yeah. We have laser weapons of mass destruction. These wildfires aren't wildfires. The UK Calls their 50KW laser "Dragonfire" -- it's a bit on the nose, yeah? The US has nuclear based space lasers; that's the purpose of Space Force. Sidenote; Thebackyardscientist is a pretty cool cat. I met him and his mom -- he came into my store to buy batteries to power one of his projects.
This is awesome. I'd love to see more with this laser. Stuff like the range would be cool. Is it theoretically possible to point it at something like a weather balloon/airplane in the sky and would it just cut right through it if you had it on some sort of aiming thing??? The speed it cut through some things is insnae. And what if you just kept adding power to one of these? how powerful would it become and it what's the limit. Could you instantly cut through massive metal plates from a distance? Just seems like science fiction. Super cool.
Amazing content! I've been watching your stuff for years and I've gotta say, you've always been a source of inspiration for me to continue my STEM-related passions. Thank you so much for all you do 😁👏
Always love a late night upload. Thanks for being awesome as always. I have been bingeing safety third episodes lately so the timing was great! Oh the ink from the bill thing. That could be a problem. I wonder how hard it would be to print lets say the markings of a $10 on that bill...
I'm an arborist, and one day, I hope there will be a light saber invented. That would be my favorite tool to use in a tree company. From tree to slabs in minutes ❤ Meanwhile, planting some trees along the way.
Alright besides how awesome the laser is..I about piss my self laughing at 3:06 when "Shake Hands With Danger" was playing in the background...Rifftrax people know what I'm talking about!
brilliant, would have been interesting to see a thermal camera view as you use the laser on flat surfaces and the fridge, etc, also with different "laser shapes" like circle, figure-eight, etc :)
the oscilloscope and plasma arc playing bad apple at the end of a laser chainsaw video just sold me on exactly what kind of nerd you are. Much love, bro
My main takeaway from this is that blasters from Star Wars can be real. And that Stormtrooper helmets probably had welding goggle lenses installed haha. How many of these would you need to combine to make a Death Star?
Militarized lasers to replace battle rifles or assault rifles would have to be pulsed lasers. They would be absolutely horrific devices capable of causing steam explosions if they hit soft tissue directly. Basically causing similar damage as hand grenades or blasting caps, large cratering wounds and full or partial amputation of limbs. Very few fictional depictions of them exist probably because the movie or tv show would have to be R rated.
The Death Star laser must be at least 2.24 x 10^32 joules to destroy a planet similar to Earth... the laser in this video can only output 2 x 10^3 joules per second. So... you would need approximately 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of these lasers to deliver enough energy in one second to destroy the Earth.
I remember seeing these awhile back and it’s just incredible how strong light is, when condensed to sizes so small you can barely even see it, if you could - I’ve always loved this channel because it also teaches the serious safety behind all the crazy stuff
You can't see the light from this laser anyway, no matter how small or large the beam. The fact that diffuse light from the sun can blind you and set fire to things 93 million miles away just by using a simple, cheap lens, should give you an idea of what light can really do.
great video, always love watching videos of those laser cleaners, have always wondered just how legit they really were, and also always wanted to use one
I dunno if its a recurring joke on this channel but I love that the "Shake Hands With Danger" song exists outside of niche safety videos from the 70s now. It slaps too hard to be kept in the past!
That was one of the most gloriously dangerous and controlled chaotic videos I’ve ever witnessed. The erasing the ink on the currency was awesome. My jaw actually dropped. Great video!!
You should do a test to see how much protection safety glasses actually bring. I guess, they are not there to make you stare into a laser but just to prevent the worst if there is some split second reflection from an object you use the laser on.
@@cewla3348 Styropyro's strongest laser is like an order of magnitude weaker and with orders of magnitude worse focus lol. I'd not trust pointing that laser at my eyes through a steel plate, let alone any glasses, they are for reflections...
@@antaresmc4407 Yeah, he literally showed it cutting through steel plate in this video (with the cutting attachment, the cleaner seems fine with steel so long as it doesn't dwell on one spot). It's like a waterjet/plasma cutter (or even a rotary tool), none of which you want to intentionally point at your PPE.

On the other hand, if you try and cut something that is green with a green laser, it won't go as well, as most if not all the green light is reflected off.
Nonlinear Crystals actually requite extremely high peak powers to even work. The crystals become more efficient, and the effect becomes more prounounced as the intensity of the beam increases. This is why NLCs such as BBO or KTP are usually used with a Q-Switched laser. The laser is focused in on the crystal such that the intensity of the beam is at, or close to (depending on the power density theshold and max electric field densities) it's focus point.
Think this is the first time I've seen any of them actually promote the podcast.
Yeah, it’s great. I was just not expecting the “Are you a good boy?” out of nowhere like that. Left me floored for a solid minute.
@@brandonmartine291 yeah that video was absolutely gold. worth a watch

This man using lasers for destructive purposes makes me truly believe that we're living in the goddamn future.
Also, playing Bad Apple at the end caught me so off guard.
same
same here but it was cool, I like his style hahaha
people coming over to comment about the ad
This was epic Kevin. I'd love to see a tear down of the laser. What type of juicy HV we talking about here? Also - that plasma speaker at the end is just delicious.
This is lowkey proof that laser weapons are already well developed for military use.
Yeah. We have laser weapons of mass destruction. These wildfires aren't wildfires. The UK Calls their 50KW laser "Dragonfire" -- it's a bit on the nose, yeah? The US has nuclear based space lasers; that's the purpose of Space Force.
Sidenote; Thebackyardscientist is a pretty cool cat. I met him and his mom -- he came into my store to buy batteries to power one of his projects.
Wow! Didn't expect a "Bad Apple running on everything" here. This literally made me burst out laughing
Ooof the honey ad.
4:26 Holy smokes man. I am impressed this man is alive. And grateful for that too.
I knew it was empty :P
@@TheBackyardScientist yea but like what if you got it mixed up
Every household should have one of these! I hope Ryobi comes up with one that uses their 18v system.
The wattage would be there.. Not sure about Ryobi but Bosch's ProCore 18V can deliver 1800W in bursts.
Me too but with milluwakee instead of Ryobi because I wanna use it with the batteries I have and not have to buy different ones 😂
Nah, since that would be power hungry garden tool, it will use their 36V max power.
Well at least I thought it was funny.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that the "Shake hands with danger" song by Jim Stringer was a bop
This is awesome. I'd love to see more with this laser. Stuff like the range would be cool. Is it theoretically possible to point it at something like a weather balloon/airplane in the sky and would it just cut right through it if you had it on some sort of aiming thing??? The speed it cut through some things is insnae.
And what if you just kept adding power to one of these? how powerful would it become and it what's the limit. Could you instantly cut through massive metal plates from a distance? Just seems like science fiction. Super cool.
in case you werent aware, styropyro just dropped a video trying to answer that very question
10:18 truly a warrior fighting Inflation.

Don’t worry Frankie it’ll be okay.
*Gets absolutely BEAMED*
ULTRAKIL PFP WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You know something is dangerous when Kevin is roasting other people's irresponsible use of the thing.
Your videos are always entertaining, your content never gets old. Keep it up
@Don't Read My Profile Picture Ok I wont
The beginning of the video is perfect. Love the humor of not being able to resist the laser😂
5:58 not me thinking he was about to shoot his hand with it
10:10 bro undollared my dollar
Amazing content! I've been watching your stuff for years and I've gotta say, you've always been a source of inspiration for me to continue my STEM-related passions. Thank you so much for all you do 😁👏
Always love a late night upload. Thanks for being awesome as always. I have been bingeing safety third episodes lately so the timing was great!
Oh the ink from the bill thing. That could be a problem. I wonder how hard it would be to print lets say the markings of a $10 on that bill...
My man's probably on a watchlist💀💀💀
"A" watchlist? How about *all* the watchlists!
He’s openly admitting he has/is
The safety switch joke cracked me up. "We don't need that type of negativity here." HAHAHA That's gold. xD
I'm an arborist, and one day, I hope there will be a light saber invented. That would be my favorite tool to use in a tree company. From tree to slabs in minutes ❤ Meanwhile, planting some trees along the way.
it already exists, but not in the way you're thinking
hacksmith already made one
Plasma cutter. Alternatively you could make a Beam Katana like from No More Heroes.
what about a hacksaw that uses a series of mirrors and a single very powerful laser
I so want to try to trim branches with one of these and be able to just stand on the ground and not have to mess around with a ladder.
Did not expect to be jumpscared by Bad Apple in a Backyard Scientist video
same
I like how he carries on smiling, when one mistake could kill him.
Alright besides how awesome the laser is..I about piss my self laughing at 3:06 when "Shake Hands With Danger" was playing in the background...Rifftrax people know what I'm talking about!
11:07 Ah, I see. You're a man of culture as well.
What do you mean

6:10 looks like an orbital laser weapon
10:57 Patrick star "I thought he'd buy it"
brilliant, would have been interesting to see a thermal camera view as you use the laser on flat surfaces and the fridge, etc, also with different "laser shapes" like circle, figure-eight, etc :)
the oscilloscope and plasma arc playing bad apple at the end of a laser chainsaw video just sold me on exactly what kind of nerd you are.
Much love, bro
Why did I flinch at 4:40 when you pointed it at the camera.
My main takeaway from this is that blasters from Star Wars can be real. And that Stormtrooper helmets probably had welding goggle lenses installed haha. How many of these would you need to combine to make a Death Star?
That would explain why their aim is so bad too
Militarized lasers to replace battle rifles or assault rifles would have to be pulsed lasers. They would be absolutely horrific devices capable of causing steam explosions if they hit soft tissue directly. Basically causing similar damage as hand grenades or blasting caps, large cratering wounds and full or partial amputation of limbs. Very few fictional depictions of them exist probably because the movie or tv show would have to be R rated.
The Death Star laser must be at least 2.24 x 10^32 joules to destroy a planet similar to Earth... the laser in this video can only output 2 x 10^3 joules per second. So... you would need approximately 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of these lasers to deliver enough energy in one second to destroy the Earth.
@@juliavixen176 Dang, so it would need to be the size of a moon. George Lucas really did his homework lol
The blaster bolts only went around 40 mph Becky magnitudes below c.
8:39 missed opportunity to "put put" a fire with the same laser that started it 😂😂😂
10:10 How to demonetize your money
Or yourself
This channel brings so much joy to my life. I hope you are doing well
Hey Kevin while it’s still just the two of us I’d like to say I love your videos your a huge inspiration and I look forward to every upload
Pleasered dont get too inspired
That's not creepy at all 🤔
@@selfproclaimednobody4614 😂😂 lmao
StyroPyro saw this and though "Yeah... boring, I can improve it"
2:33 why does this sound like a commercial xD
7:40 the coin cutting was soo damn smoooooth.
I never find myself waiting or wondering when he'll upload but somehow never miss his videos and I am never let down.
😂😂😂😂 i loved the tree de printer
I remember seeing these awhile back and it’s just incredible how strong light is, when condensed to sizes so small you can barely even see it, if you could - I’ve always loved this channel because it also teaches the serious safety behind all the crazy stuff
You can't see the light from this laser anyway, no matter how small or large the beam. The fact that diffuse light from the sun can blind you and set fire to things 93 million miles away just by using a simple, cheap lens, should give you an idea of what light can really do.
1:07 would have been a perfect moment to put that noise from fnaf 1 when an animatronic appears in the door
4:01 I have another saying for your t-shirt collection. "Measure Once. Cuss Twice!"
"Shake hands with Danger" playing in the background! LMAO!
😅😅😅
great video, always love watching videos of those laser cleaners, have always wondered just how legit they really were, and also always wanted to use one
Always a treat to see the ways you bring wholesome chaos to your backyard
Backyard Scientist's an SCP fan? lol ("cognitohazard" at 3:26)
I approve
True
That bad apple caught me off guard lmao
Same, lol.
Kevin, every time I see a notification that you have uploaded a video a smile breaks out across my face. Thank you for a guaranteed smile!
Loved the Bad Apple part at the end, I almost forgot about it!
please i need full version
I dunno if its a recurring joke on this channel but I love that the "Shake Hands With Danger" song exists outside of niche safety videos from the 70s now. It slaps too hard to be kept in the past!
Crazy that a laser still encounters the same problem of binding your blade when cutting a tree down 😅
I used one of these lasers at work to clean cast iron before welding, it was surreal to say the least!
I sometimes wish I hadn't watched every single backyard scientist video yet, so I can watch them for the first time again.
Impressive. Very nice. Let’s see Paul Allen’s laser chainsaw.
about paul allen, i hope youre sitting, i got some bad news
i like the random bad apple at the end lol
4:50 Was I the only one who thought woah don’t point that thing at me!
Kevin always repping Safety Third, gotta love that! Great video as usual, Kev! Can't wait to see what's next :D

I need more of this. Random laser usage
“Don’t worry this isn’t illegal, unless it is illegal” famous last words

This is how he's going to pay off the expense of the laser gun 😂
That was one of the most gloriously dangerous and controlled chaotic videos I’ve ever witnessed. The erasing the ink on the currency was awesome. My jaw actually dropped. Great video!!
7:55 He was probably one of the first people ever to kill a spider with a lazer gun
Honey aged well
You should do a test to see how much protection safety glasses actually bring. I guess, they are not there to make you stare into a laser but just to prevent the worst if there is some split second reflection from an object you use the laser on.
Perhaps a fragment beam mirror? Could do tests based on duration, %reflected, and more
Styropyro did it, unprotected lenses die instantly but protected lenses can have the laser pointed at em
Reflector from [g=2]
@@cewla3348 Styropyro's strongest laser is like an order of magnitude weaker and with orders of magnitude worse focus lol.
I'd not trust pointing that laser at my eyes through a steel plate, let alone any glasses, they are for reflections...
@@antaresmc4407 Yeah, he literally showed it cutting through steel plate in this video (with the cutting attachment, the cleaner seems fine with steel so long as it doesn't dwell on one spot). It's like a waterjet/plasma cutter (or even a rotary tool), none of which you want to intentionally point at your PPE.
