- The massive pulsed ruby laser is complete! In this video I'm feeding the flashlamp about 13kJ, which is a ton of electrical energy. In fact, this is probably the strongest ruby laser on CZcams. More destruction to come soon!
BIG thank you to Esco Optics for making me the mirrors for the laser. It turns out that finding mirrors that don't vaporize in a massive laser cavity like this is difficult, but coming up with the right coating was no problem for the Esco engineers.

In this video I quickly go over the construction of this laser, and then do a few test shots with some plastic, a razor blade, and a glass bottle. The peak output power on this laser is around 50kW.
Wanna see just how terrifying that power supply is? See it destroy stuff in this video: • Terrifying Pulsed Lase...
The power supply uses a variac for adjustable voltage and feeds that into a pair of matched microwave oven transformers, From there the output is fed into a homemade Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier, which is capable of up to 20kV at a dangerously high current. That feeds into the capacitor bank, and then the laser can be fired using a trigger based on a car ignition coil and 555/MOSFET combo. - Věda a technologie
I'm going to request that you shoot something lightweight but reflective like gold foil to see if the photon pressure can move it (assuming it doesn't just vaporize the foil)
Awesome you commented on my vid! Photonic propulsion is on my list of things to try. My last boss from the lab I worked in offered to let me use his 125W laser to try this. But if I were to shoot a piece of foil with this ruby laser, I could impart about 5x10^-7 kg*m/s of momentum with a single reflection. This is small, but significant on a very lightweight piece of foil. I don't have a vacuum setup for this though. But, my other idea is cooler...
If I took the output coupler (partially reflective mirror) off the laser, and used a freely moving piece of foil instead as a mirror, then the light would bounce back and forth many times imparting lots of momentum to the foil, giving many thousands of reflections. This has two issues though, one if the mirror got slightly misaligned, the energy would dissipate nearly immediately and would stop propelling the foil. This could be partially prevented with foil that has a precise concave curvature on it. The other issue is that now there would be no way for the light to escape, so the electric field between the mirrors would get HUGE, and might vaporize the foil and/or the other mirror. But if somehow I could get this to work perfectly for a millisecond, it would accelerate a 5mg piece of foil to 150 km *per second*. At that point though I'd need a flat mirror though, and there's no way I'd keep it aligned, (plus other issues like pulse risetime and cavity and doppler losses) but man that would be so cool to do in space. But even a microsecond of this in a vacuum chamber would send the foil smashing into the wall of the chamber...so the theory is definitely testable.
Id like to request that you use a large vacuum chamber while shooting the gold foil. Thank you.
Cody'sLab hi Cody's La
Humm do you think you could set one of the mirrors on a precision balance?
Interesting, I believe one of the methods of genetically modifying living things is accelerating gold particles coated with the new genetic material and is fired scatter shot at plants. However if I recall the success rate of the new genetic material being integrated into the living thing is low. Another method uses a carrier organism which is more effective. I believe I read this info in an article on glowing trees.

I like how by saying "slow him down" you assume that he is unstoppable
why tho?
That is the largest Ruby laser I've ever seen. A friend built a CO2 laser in the mid 70s. The power rating was estimated at 100 Watts. It was water cooled and like you, he used an NE series 555 timer. I was never there to see it power up, but did see the results like burnt objects and fused ball bearings. etc. His name was Mike and was a friend and mentor although I was a few years older than he was. I learned a lot about electronics, music synthesis, computers and built our versions of distortion and flanger pedals for guitar.
Mike passed away from MS some years ago.
I am grateful to see young people passionate about technology like yourself.
Thank you. Gene Lee.
Never forget Mike.
I love how irresponsibly responsible these lasers are.
Love your channel dude

My life in a nutshell:
I was planning to be a nuclear physicist and end up being an analytical chemist, a metallurgist and a 3D designer of innovative technologie... I think we can safely say that "I'm a scientific" now isn't?
During my days at the NRC in Ottawa working with the semiconductor division in the early 90s, I had the privilege to work with a 1/4 million dollar copper vapour LASER. It had a rating of 35 watts operating with a green and yellow wavelength pair.
We used to dump the yellow and use the green to pump a dye laser - that would, in turn, pump a OPO crystal to produce the needed IR beam they used to test the semi-conductor samples.
These were the same people who laid the ground work for the fibre optics internet technology.

I just lost central vision in my right eye around 2:00 am yesterday via unforseen reflection off Chrome. 518 NM 240 mw and in a flash faster than I can blink scarred my retina. No retinal bleeding but I burned the hell out of it. I've been doing experiments for years and I blame myself for not using proper PPE. Great video 👍
Electronoob: Geeking Out It didn't even hurt like I expected it would everything went black in my right eye and when I started getting sight back everything was dark purple for over an hour. It was one of the craziest things I've ever seen with my eyes. In the short flash I watched green turn dark blue then fade to black.
I'm so sorry to hear this. :( Have you been to a doctor? There are things they can do to minimize damage soon after a laser eye injury.
And although you'll likely never have a full recovery, most people with laser eye injuries do see some healing over time.
styropyro Yes I did and I have to go to a retinal specialist but they said it's bad luck and pretty bad and that I'm lucky it wasn't worse. I still have peripheral vision which seems more important to me since I still have a good eye.
Oof
Holy Fuck this is why I don't fuck around with high powered lasers. Even with proper protection I am kinda scared. I am sorry to hear about the incident :(

Welcome to the world of photonic pressure!
It aint heat busting your lenses, it's the the pressure of all them photons in the glass!
Related to soliton propagation, the photons slightly expand the glass, allowing the 'leading edge' of the light to move a touch faster. Lower density, faster light!
As this effect goes on, the front end of the beam is over-taken by the back end of the beam!
This has the effect of compressing the beam lengthwise, driving the energy density in the beam high enough that the glass more or less explodes.
Fast q-switched lasers can ionize regular air by this mechanism; looks like lightening!
So it warps the lens mid-refraction? 😍
So it's basically a photonic(?) boom? That's pretty awesome.
Thank you for existing...see what we can all do if we set ourselves to understanding and learning...nerds like us can do anything...
How can a greater number of photons in the same space create pressure. Aren't photons single spin particles which means that no matter how many there are in a single space more can fit... at least till there are so many photons that a blackhole is created and swallows up anything within its radius
@@paxtonpiasecki7439 photons don't have degeneracy pressure because they are bosons, but that doesn't mean they can't generate any pressure. Whenever they hit an electron, they exchange momentum with it, which over a macroscopic area and timeframe is seen as a pressure. The effect is called radiation pressure if you want to look it up
Edit: In fact, gas pressure works on a very similar mechanism, with the degeneracy component being negligible
You are smart.
I am jealous.
I have no clue what you are saying.
Looks awesome.

For comparison, 13kJ is a bit more than the kinetic energy of a .460 Magnum Wetherby "elephant gun" round.
holy shit
Ruby lasers are quite inefficient: only 1-2% of the energy winds up in the beam. So this laser is probably only putting around 100-200J on the target.
But you also have to take into account the time it takes to transfer the kinetic energy of a bullet when compared to A FREAKING BEAM OF LIGHT. I'm guessing most materials can't handle accumulating/transferring/dissipating even that amount of energy at near light speeds.
well you can see that in the video: where a 100-200J bullet would ram the plastic in its path out of the way and ultimately embed itself in the block, the laser vaporizes the surface of the block, and the resulting cloud of super heated gas literally explodes! Far faster and more violent than a bullet. The thing is that vaporizing a material takes a lot more power than simply shoving it out of the way, so the laser pulse cannot drill as far into the block as a bullet of the same energy would (even without the ablative shielding effect discussed in the video). On the other hand, if you scale the laser up enough the explosion itself would remove more material than the laser pulse by cracking/shattering the material around the initial laser hit.
Alaric _ this laser works in the visible spectrum, so the air shouldn't absorb it much over the distances involved.
styropyro: What's my transistor? The atmosphere :))))))
Love the sound of the capacitors discharging lethal levels of power... almost like thunder caused by lightning. I have a friend who is very good with electronics. I can still remember when we were in grade school, he was creating very high voltage equipment, over 4,000 volts and lots of amps. He accidentally brushed a finger over a hot lead, instant 'branding' due to cooked flesh. He was lucky, glancing touch, not electrocuted. Lesson learned, using high voltage parts from old crt TV set, requires a safe procedure before you mess up.
I love that Americans are like, playing in their garages, building stuff like lasers that blow up glass, and cannons that shoot pumpkins over a mile through the air. You just know one day there's going to be a comet headed right for earth, and America will be like, "Oh, that's okay. We have this kid who made a laser that can blow up comets. He did it in his spare time while drinking beer in his garage. Don't worry. We got this."
It's also perfectly legal under federal law to build conventional guns as long as you don't sell them.
America is really good at not regulating things. Usually it leads to awesome stuff like this. Unfortunately, our general compulsion to reject government oversight mean it isn't there when it's needed. We're perfectly allowed to build improvised weaponry in our basements, but medical companies are allowed to (and this isn't an exaggeration) put the next two generations of our families into debt if we happen to get injured.
