These are the people who should be celebrities 😊😊😊...
Well said!!
They are getting their recognition here keep sharing
Agree 1000% not those shady startup gurus
Exactly
Being a celebrity is overrated.
Lanny Smoot making science fiction real. What a GENIUS!!! Thank you Lanny, you deserve to be immortalized!
That light saber is breaking my brain.
I will become a great inventor and scientist. I will be in the hall of fame. Mark my Words.

People who make the hall of fame don't spend their time on CZcams comments
Good Luck, man. Truly.
Leaving a message here so I get notified when it happens
Hey go for it; note that setting realistic goals/deadlines, knowing what you know and what you don’t, are also important
Mr Smoot has definitely done more than he can imagine, he has inspired generations of young people. I am from Rwanda, working in technology, and this is what I needed today! Thank you Mr Smoot!
Please tell your government to stop killing innocent people in the RDC, women and children are being abused for their minerals, these are your brothers and sisters. The Rwandese people need to protect to stop the killing. Please.
@@gracefully_favored706 I honestly don't know how the Rwandan government is responsible for what's happening in Congo. Maybe you explain more why you think Rwanda is to blame, I am open to be educated.
@@the13nth25 Glad to, basically the Rwandese government is using the M23 rebels which is composed of mostly the Rwandese Defense Force to displaced civilians from their lands, these lands contains lots minerals used mainly electric car batteries and mobile phones, they they are killing civilians who to want to move from their ancestral lands, abusing women and children, just son they can still the minerals and sell it to the west. When the new Congolese government came into power, the president tried to work with Kagame to make a win win deal, but Kagame refused and continued send the Rwandese military into Congo to steal the minerals to support his government.
@@gracefully_favored706is that happening ?
Embarrassing
As a white engineer who grew up in the poorest country in Europe, this is so inspiring. Hopefully Moldova will have many patents that will be used all over the world, cause our engineers are as smart as US engineers.
Good Luck!
This guy is so smooth, they made smooth his last name. Hats off
So Smooth, they removed the h, so that it can be spoken more efficiently.
I found my new Mentor!
As a black American mechanical engineer! This is inspiring! Even though it’s known that 35% of USA inventions/innovations historically have come from black Americans who primarily graduated from HBCU
35%? Honestly, what are you talking about? Sounds like complete nonsense. I mean think of the miniscule likelihood of that just based off numbers alone. Don't lie, man.
@@azsegrxdhtfgvijnkomlewrhtg9508Wow! You're so quick to read the worst of his intentions! He probably meant to say that 35% of US black inventors came from HBCUs. He's definable a bad proofreader, but calling him a liar is an overreach.
@@bobweiram6321why do you respond to people with no real name. 😂.
@@rolandchisom1684 What's your point? Does having a first and last name make the comment any more valid? So if I just made up a fake name what does that do? You have an opinion but you have no idea why you have it.
@azsegrxdhtfgvijnkomlewrhtg9508 35% sounds insanely high, but that could also include useless inventions but it still wouldn't seem correct.
Such an inspiration to young generation… Lanny Smooth is brilliant, genius.. 🎉🙌🙌🙌
From The Caribbean 🇻🇨...This Just Made My Weekend 🙌
When did it say that? Time stamp please...
Iron sharpens iron, congrats to two these two men breaking boundaries with innovations.
I’m from Brownsville… Good to see other ppl from the area who made a way positively.
I love this so much! “Get it out of your brain and into the world.” Very wise words!
another black man making history again but yet we as a tribe of people still gets a fight in this modern time cheers mr smooth real smooth
He is not a "black man" like you. Completely different pedigree. He is from New York City, probably of Dutch origin, and he went to the nation's most prestigious high school then went on to an Ivy League. But all you see is skin color then automatically think you or people you know are somehow entitled to something he has.
2:42 "He credits his 'father' for that initial spark" - If Lanny hadn't had a good FATHER figure in his early life, we wouldn't have Star Wars LIGHT saber. Let that sink in.
The biggest loss of production comes from kids raised in broken families
Very inspiring story! He is a true genius!!
Sir, I will like to work in your lab. Could it happen?
The coolest nerds. You guys are incredible and what a great story
Congratulations Lanny. I completely agree with Do It - find a way to make our world better.
Excellent segment. He is elite and has definitely paid his dues! It is a blessing and an honour that he is receiving his flowers and recognition for a lifetime of world shaping inventions and accomplishments many have not ever heard of! Incredible 👍🏾
This dude is like a Tesla of entertainment 😮
Why am I just hearing about this man 😭😭 Thank you Lanny!
Absolutely Awesome!
I still wonder how I did not know about this guy. He has been in Bell Labs and his story was never told. What a heck
A lot of Jedi nerds don’t even know a black guy invented the light saber
Wow, just do it. What an inspiration. I need more of these in my life.
Mr Smoot you are an amazing person thank you and all of the others like you 😊😮😊
holy smokes. this guy is a genius! that tile invention is insanely phenomenal.
This guy is amazing! How am I just hearing about this guy?!
This man is truly a magician. such a brilliant inventor
I needed this
He is a genuine & the story is inspiring.
Yet they will gaslight us that we don't innovate
It's not gaslighting, as much as it is propaganda, cognitive dissonance, willful ignorance.
You must be Gen Z.
Thank you for sharing this❤❤
Congrats Lanny!! You are inspirational!!!
We have the exact same soldering microscope! But I have zero patents, he's over a a hundred! I am speechless at what this inventor gentleman can do!
That's around 50 patents each on average
These people should be the real celebrities that walk on the red carpet not Kim Kardashian 😂
This is indeed inspiring.
Our young need encouragement to express their dreams.
Lanny you're an absolute genius, massive congratulations on all your successes. However I have a simple question, why did you not form a company that created inventions for the entire movie industry? Why limit yourself to being a disney employee?
You could be a Billionaire by now.
Thank you for your innovations and contributions. 🎉
This is amazing, thank you for inspiring us !
No joke... I want that light saber
They don’t tell us about successful black men that are pioneers of arts, culture and technology but instead always show us the drug dealer or the man who they beat up and arrested for misdemeanour
Very inspiring 👏 😊
Congrats to him!
I love this story! This guy!
Genius, incredible walk. This is going to revolutionize VR. Can’t wait.
Go Lanny!
Amazing!!!! Love this story.
I love positive news
Beautiful story ❤
Beautiful minds.
A true Inspiration!!
Super smooth like Smoot
Lanny is smooth with it.
Wonderful group of humans
We are special...Thank you.
It is very wonderful for him to be crowned like this, but what is disappointing is that after his hair turned grey
Brilliant man!
Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉
As a black engineer this is very motivational! No limits. No boundaries.
The floor invention is wild🔥🔥
Thank you
Brilliant man.
This guy is absolutely amazing 👏 🤩
Imagine all of those guys that got their inventions stole during slavery
How could they invent anything when they were chained ?
Its really nice he can work for Disney inventing patents in his own name. Many companies just immediately own the rights to the inventions of their employees
Wow, this is amazing. I want to meet him.
Hats of to you sir...
There are plenty of role models out there if some of us choose to look ...(CONGRATULATIONS )
Inspiring ❤
Awesome!
Amazing!
The movable floor would be great for rehabilitation for patients need for mobility and muscle training
Awesome.
Feels good a black man made it!! 👀💯🙌🏿
Inspiration
Mark Rober of the corporate world. What a guy!
That omnidirectional floor might just be the coolest thing ever invented! Imagine call of duty on that floor.
❤ Wow, no words
Amazing😊
Healthy parenting is more important than money or about anything I can think of. Give them the space and encouragement to pursue their interests, and don't make things worse.
HOW COOL IS HE!?
Lanny Smoot's story is quite inspiring because using science to make inventions are useful for our society.
Brilliance has no color. Wonderful
I love this
What?! I thought the only things we invented were the cotton gin and peanut butter! (At least that's what we were taught in school.) Boy, this Internet thing sure does reveal a lot of stuff!
And please keep in mind, that we are still inventing all of this stuff when we haven't even fully awakened.
we have tons of amazing inventions in technology, and we could innovate so much more, we just need to stop hating each other and wake up, we can change the world
God may bless you, thank your invent something so great for vr movement
Big ups to you Lanny smoot
Everbody: where do you work? What do you do for a living?
Lanny Smoot: i play with stuff all day and create things from my imagination.
yeah they will show us how criminal we are but not teach us things that will motivate our ppl. KEEP IT UP 👏🏾
Great mind 🙌
Its trulu a shame that as much as I always felt on top of things like this....i HAD NO IDEA SUCH AN AWARD EXISTED. It truly shows how so much of true authentic innovation and creativity has been tarnished by greed.
Awesome 😎🤩
Love it
A great inspiration to young people
awsome
I need that light saber
About right. We been doing this
