- Real life Star Trek tractor beam! Turns out it is possible to levitate tiny diamonds with a laser beam!!
Edit: The optical tweezers phenomenon actually won the nobel prize in physics in 2018, along with techniques in ultrafast laser pulse generation.

Now to levitate the jewelry out of the diamond store and I'll be set for life!
yup you will be set for life all right ,,one way or another
Next video: how to use laser to burn through security glass
Now yo just need a laser as powerful as the sun
Just get a laser powerful enough to levitate the whole store
I made your count 500
Now I get why tractor beams still is a thing in scifi
*My Lil Brother was so Lil, turning on the Bathroom Light was HELL for him.*
*Many Bothan Sharpies died bringing us this information.*
Wouldn't they still burn you?
@therealnightwriter Why tractor beams. Is that the beam from spaceship
Steve Thea yes
The titles are never misleading, you actually levitated a diamond with a freakin laser ..
Your Caseworker - I know, right? The first thing I did, was to make sure that the date of the video wasn’t April 1st.
wait, so you saym, that given a strong enough laser, steve could levitate
the closest thing to a laser minecraft has is a beacon, which we can assume is a kind of crystal based laser, using the nether star as the medium
so, we need to know how powerful a beacon is
well, since it is rather harmless, i can assume it's a really weak laser, maybe 5 mW
we will need the total power 50 beacons to levitate a grain of diamond powder
a full set of diamond armor weight 526.5 kg (source: czcams.com/video/8KuH0-994Hk/video.html)
i don't have time to do the excat math, but i'll assume you'll need the death star (cleverly hidden in styropyro's basement, so the empire won't find out) to levitate just the diamond armor, not including steve

Thanks! If you find the equations for the beam intensity across the beam, and also for how that changes with distance from the focus, you can convert the intensities to energy density (also has units of pressure, Pascal or Joules/meter^3) by dividing the Intensity at a point by the speed of light (Watts/meter^2)/(Meters/second) = (Joules/meter^3). These stationary (nearly time invariant) pressure gradients are easier to work with than momentum equations.
Also, you might want to look at conical lenses that produce Bessel function pressure (energy density) cavities that can be much larger and farther away from the source. The electric and magnetic fields can be found from the energy density from
B^2/(2 mu0) = pressure Pascals = e0*E^2/2, where B is in Tesla, E is in Volts per meter, mu0 if the Codata or NIST "vacuum magnetic permeability and e0 is the vacuum electric permittivity. Stupid names. But that is what they call them today.
I keep asking groups to look for the gravitational effects. The earths gravitational energy density is calculated from g^2/(8 pi G) where g is in meters/second^2 and G is the Codata gravitational constant ("Big G"). The result is also in Joules/meter^3 or Pascal. And you will find the B field equivalent of the gravitational field is about 380 Tesla. The E field is just B times the speed of light or about 115 GigaVolts/meter.
The average energy density of fluctuations at the earths surface is about 1260 Electron Volts. so you might be able to use your YAG laser and "High Harmonic Generation" to run a beam continuously at the energy densities close to the gravitational range. It is a spectrum, not a single constant value. I think it matches the solar neutrino spectrum fairly closely, with a roughly blackbody spectrum from below 1 eV per photon to a few tens of MeV with a peak about 1.26 KeV.
In spite of your love for high total POWER, you might tweak your personal wants to include "INTENSITY!" If you want to make "Mr Fusion" (are you old enough to have seen Back to the Future II and III? You do not need massive size, only precise focus and high INTENSITY!! (1 ExaWatt/meter^2 = 1 Watt/nanoMeter^2)
If you run for several days, the changes in the intensity should show SOME correlation with the magnetic variations , with seismic accelerations, and with the vector tidal Newtonian acceleration at the instrument from the sun on the device, minus the sun on center of the earth. Plus the moon acceleration on the instrument minus the moon on the center of the earth, plus centrifugal accelerations at the station. If you ever get that far, contact me on ResearchGate. I have a project on Solar System Gravimetry and Gravitational Engineering.

Now this guy clearly lasers...would love to see what kind of catastrophic weapon/collab with Styro could do
Baller over here.
Bruh he did calculus for this video. That's dedication

"you mention the limit of optical density required to rip a hole in space time" - Actually that's power density, not optical density.
I'm so happy he keeps posting, I missed his videos and was afraid he was gone for good. CZcams has been lacking quality content and this channel gives me hope.

"your work is not finished Carl"
Yes! Although he was slightly wrong. No pair production occurs in a vacuum, as it would need a nucleus to satisfy conservation of energy. I would love to see him make matter-antimatter pairs tho. Give it 20 years he'll have his own big ass research facility.
What is it?
@@Eli_JK It's a power density at which matter-antimatter pairs begin to appear. You should've watched the video...
Its true...You will see 'Actual Freakin Diamonds' levitate in this video.

You've made it big! This video was featured on Daily Dose of Internet xD
my question is how the fuck are you this good at physics🤔
"College"
He took a degree in chemistry though so it's still pretty impressive.
10mintwo Actually where I come from physics (plus math of course) IS part of chemistry engineering courses at universities. But yeah, this is university-grade physics for sure.
Even had to go through this studying biology. I guess its required in every natural science. Wouldn't be able to comprehend these formulas anymore without a lot of reiteration and chocolate for the frustration, though. :D
Darren Kluit probably by doing physics a lot, I'm a physics undergrad.
Hey Mate !!! Great video. I actually work with optically levitated nanoparticles (PhD in the group of R. Quidant... he is in the Vamivakas paper you show). If you are curious to know more stuff 'from the inside' of the field, let me know! Don't stop doing nice videos like this one

Man, I thought I was at least somewhat intelligent before I started watching your channel. Never mind.
Styro's brain explaining stuff to us is like using a fusion reactor to make toast
Man seriously you are my biggest inspiration right now, I'm studying optometry I'm having my optic physics and optic geometry classes this semester and this videos are amazing, you have no idea
Great channel man. I like that you actually explain HOW the stuff works on your videos, rather than simply rule of cool.
It's one of those channels which actually demonstrates quite interesting phenomena with great precision, detail and burning stuff....
I like it very much.

Love all the content you're bringing out at the moment, plenty to watch:)
This video could be used in a class room.
holy shit I did this with a sharpie and a dvd laser and it worked!
Amazing. I was impressed by your mathematical skill. You are not just someone who messes around with lasers without knowing exactly what you are doing. Incredible work. “Some of my more observant viewers are going to...” I imagine if anyone watching this channel really has the knowledge to pin point that
I love it when you show the math. I even follow enough of it to inspire me to lean more. Great videos, thanks. Happy mathing.
So it's time for Mr. Styropyro to build a light-speed spaceship:)

this is one of my favorite channels. you're awesome brother!
It's interesting how much I enjoy watching things I have no hope of ever fully understanding.
you know that it is a good video when it only has 1 dislike
Now the real question is: Would the laser base get measureably heavier from "levitating" that spec
kinsi55 Kinsi bist ja wirklich überall :D
I don't think it would. There is no interaction between the laser base and the diamond.
It would lose mass, because it loses energy(E=mc^2), assuming its powered with battery and not mains
I guess it would experience a recoil force due to the light going into one direction... It wouldn't be that strong though
The counteracting force acts on the photons, bending them away. Since there is a downward attractive force on Earth, the majority of the photons will be bent upwards, meaning that the diamond speck will appear shinier from above than from below.
Awesome video. I love the depth of info you put in with the rest of the content.
love the more science focus videos, even if i don't get a lot of it... Thanks dude keep doing what ur doing
Was really cool seeing you on Daily Dose Of Internet!
i learn more from him than learning from my teacher
TNG_Draised adhd maybe? try to focus, buddy
This is why I subscribe, great in-depth content. Can pause the video and understand the math at my leisure. Thanks!

Hey man. Just wanted to say thanks for a great video. Still watching in 2019!
your confidence is awesome! As long as your ambitions don't hurt people's "feelings" you'll never be ridiculed for being so confident and awesome
hey dude you made it on Daily Does of The Internet
Hey styropyro, great video! I have a question though...
Considering that the particles aggregate toward the areas of greatest focal intensity within the laser's beam, wouldn't it be possible to move a suspended particle along the path of the beam by adjusting where the focal point is? If so, you could make a miniature tractor beam... You could make a particle or even those diamonds move back and forth by adjusting the light going through the lenses. While I'm no physicist, I think it would be an awesome concept to see implemented...
I imagine that changing the focus would likely make the particle fall out of the beam. If you could use two or three lasers together though and shift them one after the other that sounds like something that could work. Would be interesting to see if you can get two beams focused on the same point and transfer the diamond from one to the other.
This principle actually works and is used in real labs. You can mount a lens on a translation stage and move the lens and the trapped atoms fairly quickly. This is used to move the atoms from something called a 2D MOT to a 3D MOT, basically two different stages of an experiment.
Dude you are very smart I hope they put you on a show in the future ! It just takes time but you know what you are doing & I love it keep it up dude
I was just about to write up a big ol crazy vector calculus formula to figure all this stuff out but you beat me to it. Good job.
If u changed the focus point while there’s a particle in it, would it move with focal point?
yes it would!
styropyro WHERE find a nano diamonds pleeeease?! I love science☺
ķίภģ Σxpériment it’s probably easier to find nano titanium. Try looking for that instead
Alexander Mikhniouk Ok thank you for your answer;)
@@styropyro what about a car levitation, i think, with the power of a laser you mentioned in video , it will just evaporate :D
Would it be possible to use this physical "tool" to change how metal 3D printing is done? Instead of adding layers of metal and fuse them with laser, would it be possible to continuously channel metal particles through a "laser straw" straight to the wanted position and melt it in place with another laser beam? Like a 3D sewing machine?
I like how you explain the math with your projects. 👏🏼👍🏻

@6:25
Although I don't know most of the math you're using, I feel like you're still missing an important fact: The car doesn't have the same index of refraction as the diamond.
it was just a rough calculation. a laser that size would vaporize a car into plasma nearly instantly...lol
I'm not very educated in this field of science. But I do find it very interesting. If you wouldn't mind breaking down some of this into laymen terms. For example the levitating laser. A reference of how much power it would take to run a laser of that magnitude. The fact that you said it would vaporize the car really helped me understand its magnitude
@@styropyro *That's not the biggest concern. The Main concern (if you're gonna propel a Spaceship to another Star) would be, Tesla Spaceman ZOOMING by while Texting and Friggin' everything up.....like he does.*
@@styropyro Would it vaporize a diamond instantly also, or will enough of the light be refracted to not sufficiently heat the diamond?
@@jnevercast No if anything a diamond should be easier to 'fry',there are many total internal reflections in a diamond,but since it has a really high melting point it doesn't.

So if you start levitating cars with lasers your risking rupturing space-time?
No, power density required to rupture space-time is 7 orders of manitude greater than the one required to levitate a car.

Really enjoying the sudden influx of videos here.
This guy is like Good Will Hunting. Just writin equations and stuff in a shed in different color markers and videotaping it. So awesome.
How the heck are you so smart
The biggest problem, really, is that energy densities which would levitate a car would appear to be high enough to melt it into a uniform spherical blob and probably turn much of it into a plasma in the process.
Well, bigger problem would be that if you were to try it in the presence of air (or atmosphere of any gas), the air would electrically broke down under the electric part of the electromagnetic wave into a ball of plasma, but the plasma is absorbing the light afterwards... And you're pumping zettawatts of power into it... BOOM :D
So the laser based tractor beam would also function as a pretty good energy weapon. Nice. (Or possibly blow itself up when it hits the air, not certain)
the primary function would be that of a weapon. The traction part is on what remains of the target...

It would be a pretty bad-ass weapon.
Perfect, i love when you explain by physics
Brilliant! cool stuff man my first time seeing diamonds levitated.
Are there any other great uses for this other than solar sail?
redstone craft guy nanotech
redstone craft guy solar sail is simpler - just using photonic momentum to propel a reflective surface, rather than manipulate the position of an object in multiple axes. A solar sail is "push only" whereas optical tweezers can move something to any position in 3D space
Sean MusicTV yes, that's a good one
Hey styropyro, which would you say is your favourite color of lasers?
Jac0b He would say, "Ultra-violet"..
Impressive as always
I need to research this, thanks for introducing this concept to me.
I really wanna know a few things here. One, what is the small paper in the frame above the laser wavelength chart, second what is the poster with the phoenix on it, and finally what is the small paper/poster with the circular chart in black and white or grey??
the small paper with the red border has thin lens equations for quick optical design. the poster with the phoenix is from the company Esco Optics...they made the incredibly tough mirrors on my ruby laser. the circular chart is the smith chart.
styropyro Sweet dude! I was actually talking about the one above the quick optical thin lens equations. It has a black border or frame and a beige paper inside.
that's my youtube silver play button!
styropyro Friggin' sweet dude!
Pragetamiiear To be honest dude, a lot of the heavy math is beyond me. The best way to learn about the principals, equations, and effects is to just look them up! I always (usually) find an elementary explanation somewhere. The simple solution is, Genius+Lasers= Styropyro 😎😎
How the heck did the particle escape?? @1:31
Probably because of the air current while he was talking/breathing
Air currents from breathing
This is actually pretty impressive, this could bring a whole series of events that will chamber into a sci fi like world in the future
Loving the content bro keep it up
now that you have a levitated particle.. can you run your light wave center through of a higher energy secondary carrier wave and project the particle across the room?
I think he can’t because it’s to much energy.
4:55 makes me meel so useless in life
I'm impressed that it was so easy to lock-in the mass. A++ Styro! Please breakdown the circiut components of your RUBY monster laser. I almost bought a 2"x1/4" laser ready rod long ago for 180, felt it was a gamble.
Yessssss the Bell Curve, your explanation would have been very useful when I first learned that lol Thanks for the videos, cheers!!
Am I the only person who came here after watching DDOI ?
we should make a train out of that
we should make a *religion* out of that
I just started watching your videos on LASERs and really get a kick and a laugh out of them. Thanks. I've been involved with LASERs for decades and it's good to see someone who has a great joy in them. I can't wait to see what you do in the future, and I don't mean on CZcams... P.S. It's way more fun watching you explain LASER tweezers than the 96 year old Physicist Arthur Ashkin grumble his way through his presentation. (He is still pretty awesome but too much like me.)
After many many videos, that "smile" in the end, still makes me think that this guy is not a human being.
can you use this to build a lightsaber?
Cool effect! The wavelength of the Laser suspends the floating reflective diamonds, hmm a lightsaber tip combined with a concave mirror with a hole in it at the base emitter to allow the beam to the surface coating on the reflective tip to bounce the beam back to the concave mirror, I'd say it looks possible for a lightsaber. I'll make a video about it if he doesn't. I was thinking using Ultrasound to make a virtual mirror "in air" or a solid sapphire fiber optic to achieve a lightsaber blade with the strength of steel with a laser-hot tip that could cut through just about anything, but hey, a levitating diamond tip would look way cooler. Can it be done Styro??
This has nothing to do with lightsaber at all, it's not related.
Daily Dose Of Internet fans, hi :)
I have zero idea what you were talking about but I still watched because it’s cool.
