    • Because we kept defending the idea of peace as a function of state/nation and capital. Those are the causes of fuedalsim. You have to shift the authority of violence onto the shoulders of everyone, and off the shoulders of the nation state and capital... By doing excatly what we see here, and making community trading systems that dont means test and dont care about your status ones that are just there for benifit of everyone. I naturally prefer ones that still operate on a free market I.E. money becomes a vote not a thing thats earned but whatever works should be done.

  • When I was a kid, around 12 or 13 years old, I got super into lasers. This was in the early 1990s, so access to lasers at home was pretty limited. My dad supported my desire to learn more about lasers and we acquired a He-Ne gas laser, and a power supply to run it. Built a wooden box and everything to contain it. Was a class 3a 5mW and we were super careful with where we pointed it and how we interacted around it. All that said, the ease of access to utterly eye destroying, burn your house down, solid state laser diodes is both amazing, and scares the crap out of me. I am keenly aware of just how much even the slightest slip up in safety routines could leave you with permanent eye damage, or worse. Glad to see you emphasizing the safety aspect of your insanely powerful laser setup. It was seriously impressive!

    • There are a number of inherent flaws in this marketing report. Targeting and tracking in milli-seconds' refers only to initial electronic 'lock'. Iron Beam maximum effective range is limited by accuracy _and minimum effective range is limited by pivot gimbaling._ All 'testing'(sic) is gamed to only optimal range and linear constant velocity targets, the same way they gamed Patriot EKV and gamed Iron Dome. They (the latter two kinetics) can't hit Russia's zigzaging missiles, for example. Second, Iron Beam has a huge flaw. Ordinary titanium white ceramic roof coating is one solid defense incoming small profile, and a 6-micron coat of gold makes them impervious as fly-over-and-drop. That's why Reagan's 1985 Space-Based Lasers never deployed, and honestly, rocket scientists back then _knew_ it would never deploy. _Not ONE of the Star Wars programs ever did._ (It was Pentagon weapons technology welfare bridge, while DoD RIF'd the military vets and the vested lifers.) They're _still_ trying to make Hypersonic Space Plane work, 40 years of wasted R&D later. Raytheon is going back to old standbys: smart-bombs with 'shoot-and-scoot GPS tailfins. The moment Iron Beam fires, the spy satellite will acquire the target, pass it to loitering stealth. F-35s and a hypersonic payload will be arcing down. Zzzzt! Poof! Zzzzt! Poof! Look! What's that up in the sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane! It's a GPS 2000-pound Super KABLOOEY!

  • I helped run a competition about 10 years ago that was basically this. We had ping pong ball targets that could detect a laser light hitting them, and put them on a train and competitors had to hit the lit ping pong balls as they drove around the track as quickly as possible. It's surprisingly easy to do, although not trivial.

  • There are KZhead videos that demonstrate people who have made 'Sentry Guns' that track targets very well. These 'guns' are generally paint ball or rubber pellet guns. They can even be directed to target ANYTHING not displaying a certain 'color'. Very cool, and relatively inexpensive. I could see a 'sentry gun' using the fiber optic cable to carry the laser light for rapid target tracking. Great video !!!!!

  • You’d be much better off with a galvo-based system. Far faster at tracking. I’d also put a dichroic beam splitter in the optical path so the camera and laser can be perfectly coaxial, though having a pair of cameras on either side would work with some software tweaks (and would allow some rangefinding). Get your chops around openCV and make us a mosquito tracker.

They repurposed something you can buy in a mall. There is no point proving you can build a military-grade (whatever that means) system using military grade components. They used the app that is supplied with an off the shelf appliance - for target tracking... You missed the entire point of the video. Also: dichroic mirror in a kilowatt range beam path???

  • The hard part is the bit you did manually with drawing the box. Raytheon gets the big bucks for their tech that does target identification and classification. They also bring institutional knowledge related to second-of-angle precision and, if I am not mistaken, some dynamic optics to limit beam scatter. As with most engineering problems, the proof of concept is easy and the devil is in the details/refinements.

  • Love your research, content, safety/morality concerns, never failing to deliver real world demonstrations. Back in the '80s, I tried pushing a 5 watt SP165 ion Argon beam into a 100 micron quartz fiber, with a parabolic refractive index to deliver a scannable beam to scanning heads located in lighting trusses to avoid lifting the entire projection system onto a 10' scaffolding tower. But, resorted to using glycerol encapsulated inside a tube, between the input lens and fiber to avoid burning the fiber. Furthermore, there was no specific focal point at the output end to allow a low divergent, scannable beam. Of course today's diode laser projectors are accomplishing the same objective. The power efficiency of modern fiber lasers and what you've just demonstrated blows my mind. "Eat your heart out, Styropyro." 🤣L😅M🙃A😂O! Happy New Year, Planters. 😎

Nowdays, inventor needs to come up with rare 1-in-million idea or simply get million dollars for R&D to get the idea to the level where it can be monetized. Look at the billion dollar companies putting tens of millions into research and it should be pretty obvious that the quick, easy inventions are a thing of the past. As a profession, without KZhead/Patreon/etc, independent inventor is one of the most rarest professions these days. Edit.

  • I'm using one of those same 125W NUBM37 laser modules (I'm assuming your 500W claim is 500W / 4) in my handheld battery powered laser gun. I modeled it much like the Styro's, only I have added improvements to it like a single power converter, 4 cooling fans, heatsink temperature. You make me want to try a modified 500W setup now....!!!!!!

  • Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Great subject, I’ve always been impressed with the ability of lasers to find and fire on a remote target since a Ted talk I saw quite some time ago where the person talking built a system that could target, identify, and then shoot down only female mosquitoes with a laser out of a CD player. Apparently you can identify female mosquitoes based of their wing flapping frequency. Have been waiting patiently for someone to build a system that I could install in my backyard. l😂 Looking forward to seeing where your channel goes next. Wishing you and your family the best.

  • I live in NM and about 30 miles away is a facility called High-Energy Laser Test Facility (HELSTF). They have been doing R&D for many decades out there. I had the opportunity to tour some of the facility about 20 years ago and it was amazing. They had a very large steel disc that was probably 2 foot thick that they blasted a hole into in a very short period of time (under a second if I remember correctly but I could be wrong since its been so long). That was decades ago so I wonder what they can do now. Great video as usual!

  • what can you tell us about the reliability of optical systems, mirrors, lenses. many years ago it was a discouraging factor that after only 3 shots it was necessary to replace them. it is true, the energy was of the order of megawatts. and in addition, how do such laser systems react with an atmosphere full of water vapor (dense clouds) or dust and smoke? are such systems preferable in space or with firing from low orbits? in my opinion, an illumination of the target with another infrared laser could increase the percentage of destroyed targets

  • A quick observation on safety: I would not recommend the glasses style eyepro that you're wearing. Particualrly when you're having to bend over with the laser on, there is a significant risk of reflected light entering through the gaps around the edges. The goggles style eyepro that your assistant is wearing, that clamps to the face all around, is much better. I would also be wary of the amount of cardboard that is within the vicinity. Otherwise, a very engaging and well presented video. I would be interested to see you covering the topic in more detail, particularly the technical challenges that make something effective not quite so 'easy'.

    • This is why Tesla came up with the idea of "the halo" of aurora towers and directed energy weapons. He wanted to make war obsolete by simultaneously giving everyone a 250km dome of directed energy defense that wirelessly supplied any device in that same service range with power. And since he was right about everything, including the fact that the Ionosphere is conductive, he probably would have succeeded in releasing that technology to the world. People who have what they need and feel safe aren't trying to start wars. Can't fault the man's logic. Just wish he had another few years in him to head off all the catastrophic psychopaths that perverted his technology into the very yolk he'd spent his entire life trying to remove from the average man.
