I found this link later that night while fishing. twitter.com/smartereveryday
Did you check the local news the following day to see how many UFO sightings were reported?
SmarterEveryDay hey can we hang out?
SmarterEveryDay “how do you know you got laser googles on dude” 😂😂
You should try it with one of those spherical fushigi balls, the internal reflections in the sphere is amazing looking. If I had mine still I'd take a photo of it but you gotta try it.
Dustin this made me think. If one could make the crystals in the glass refract in the perfect way, would you be able to project an image in the glass.
Most people: "That sounds nice"
Destin: "That's Acoustically pleasing"
came down here about that lol
yeah .. i envy him for his child like everything is amazing view of the world .. guess that's why people have a second childhood when they care for their children
When's Destin gonna do ASMR?
It's "Engineers," a dialect of spoken language from an engineer.
Destin sounds stoned to be honest... :)
Officer: Do you know why I pulled you boys over?
Destin: frickin’ lasers man!
Hahaha, I've had a cop say almost exactly that phrase to a mate and me, because we actually were playing with lasers while driving along - we were young, and perhaps stupid.

Should've seen him at NASA.
Approved! 👍
I just watched 2 grown men play with lasers in kayaks for 13min and loved every minute of it.
Giddy nerds and it's awesome. :)
Half the fun was the Looney Toons style pulling random heavy objects from improbable small containers.

Just two guys, stoned by science. Who said we need alcohol to have fun.
Science!

10:21
"That's fun. We're having fun! We're learning things! We're learning things on kayaks with lasers!"
It's got to be said - Destin's enthusiasm and joy at figuring out, testing and playing with the world and all the amazing things in it is truly infectious.
The sheer _delight,_ almost *_bursting_* out of him as he watches a laser reflect off the surface of some water, or illuminating the little globe as it hit the meniscus, can pry and dig its way through the prickliest bad mood and soon enough, you're entranced as well.
I know exactly what's happening - I remember all of this stuff from High School Physics and saw much drier versions of these demonstrations back then. Seeing it performed by a guy who's exploding with happiness that he gets to see this stuff, and overjoyed that he gets to share it with other people makes the whole exercise a *_LOT_* more fun however.
I'm so glad I found this channel.
13:41
"So, I hope you enjoy this half as much as I do . . ."
Destin. Dude.
You enjoy all of this stuff enough for *_everyone._*
That's so right
I didnt read it all :(
Lol, that throwback, "you can tell its an aspen, cause it is". You're awesome Destin!
Destin: Full scientific explination of random thing
Also Destin: LIGHTSABER NOISES!!
That is the reason why he is my spirit animal :D
Why I love this channel and all content Destin makes
You can't tell me you could resist the urge to make lightsaber noises
7:26 "You can tell that it's an Aspen because of the way it is" I CAUGHT THAT REFERENCE AND I LOVED IT
It was such a neat reference! And dropped so casually too lol
That’s pretty neat!

It’s the funniest and most wholesome thing ever
@@willrands1532 yes
I adore Destin cause he always gets super passionate about things. This whole video was great to watch cause he was so excited and happy about a specific phenomenon
Hey Destin, I just wanna let you know that you have changed the course of my life. I started watching your videos a couple of months ago and three weeks ago I decided to study Mechanical Engineering. I'm dead set on that now and I'm excited to live the rest of my life in fascination.
How are your studies in mech eng going?
8:13 Destin: "u could make a camera that could see all the way to the bottom"
Mark Rober: "time to get to work"
Yoooooo that would be lit. A collab like that would be so epic!
@@sky3fall866 they have collaborated before, on one of the pool videos I think. Also, this approach has already been done to make fiber optic cameras for surgery and intravital microscopy. So cool.
However,. You'll soon realize it's only going to transmit one big fat pixel of completely scrambled rays of the image at the light pipe objective end.
I know you know about fiber bundles. You get fiber pixels, each fed from an image ray, but still scrambled, only less scrambled. Each pixel is correctly lit and colored. But translates to the wrong spot.
So that bundle has to be built with the bundled fibers in perfect alignment. But then it won't flex.
So you can fuse just the ends of the bundles then cut and polish them, and insert the thing into a protective flexible hose.
Interestingly, because of the physical characteristics of molten glass, if you pulled a softened bundle, you would keep the pixel organization, but get higher resolution, since the bundle gets thinner. But it's also stretching longer, so you can cut it into multiple bundles an regain the original objective surface area. (with some loss due to cutting and polishing ends again).
I've wanted to try to create a fiber coupled high resolution digital imager by printing a space transformer to align bundles in this jig, such that the imager end of an optical camera front end can be paved with an array of bundles, but the output end of each bundle illuminates the for of its own imaging CCD device. It would have to be an assembly that mounts onto a PCB with an array of CCD imaging devices, probably in contact with the die, otherwise it would be out of focus.
Alternatively using a lens to focus the bundle image on each die.
A hack to get a 16 8Mpix imagers looking at a piece of one image, for drone recon, or an astro-cam for a telescope.
@@ipbatinic Oh yeah well...
you're a pixel.

This is so cool... I never thought of this way to demonstrate reflection and refraction... Thanks.
This was so much fun to watch. Thanks for sharing these moments of curiosity and knowledge. Your pure joy is contagious and reminds me of that familiar hilarious thought, “I wonder what people think I’m *actually* doing right now because they’re probably wayyy off”. Amazing 💕

What a beaut!
This is also a huge concept in my industry where we use ultrasonics to examine welds for things like cracks in pipelines and pressure vessels. This makes the whole idea of Snell's Law make so much more sense and being able to visualize it was really cool! Thank you
Those nature sounds stir up a serious bit of nostalgia & wanderlust. Great vid
Destin: That's acoustically pleasing.
Everyone else: That sounds nice.
Does Destin ever stop sciencing?
Yeah, give him a lightsaber, lol, swoosh!
Simple answer: Guy goes Bass fishing at night in Alabama. Fails to catch fish but occupies himself and fishing buddy by illustrating total internal reflection. I would have switched to black top water lures.
"That's acoustically pleasing" is totally how I compliment music from now on
That's the awesome thing about English, in German the translation would not nearly sound that cool :)
"You can tell it is an Aspen 'cause of the way it is."
I love how he has seen and can quote Nature walk.
I like your profile picture.
Ps: I also like Wintergatan ;)
Thank you so much for taking the time to show us all these cool things and inspiring scientists for years to come.
Everyone: "That sounds nice."
SmarterEveryDay: "That's acoustically pleasing."
Perfect excuse against
Wife: "But you already went fishing last week"
"Didn't you go (to the grocery store|shopping|to the bathroom|breathing|regexing) last week?" - because regex is a kind of fishing... sort of... but not really.
The only response any bloke will ever need "Yes, but this time we have lasers!"
Nice video! I learned about snells law and refraction while learning ultrasonic testing (NDT). The sound path through a transducer travels through certain materials and bounces just like the light. It’s easy to calculate the size and depth of flaws/anomalies in materials such as steel.
Request: I would like to see a ultrasonic or phased array NDT video, almost everything we deal with on a daily basis goes through some sort non-destructive testing at some point. People minds will spin if you get into eddy current!
The excitement in these two is just an absolute joy to witness, I love it. Learning++

Thanks so much for the beautiful demonstration.
I would love to know the details behind that interference pattern you got when shining the laser through the acrylic block.
IDEA: could you build a visual analog to antenna tuning using lasers and acrylic? I know it’s not exactly the same, but the end result is similar (EM waves) and maybe there’s a way such an analog could translate into better understanding of the dark art of antenna design.
ALSO another idea: I wonder if the light pipe analog can translate into an analysis of acoustic waves traveling through water pipes?
I wish my school taught it with visuals. I know about TIR and realised it the moment I saw it but didn't know it was so beautiful. Thank you Destin. You are the Real G.
“You can tell that it’s an aspen because of the way it is”
Now we now, for certain, that Destin is a man of culture.
that's pretty neat
My eyes are excited
Huzzah, a man of quality!
That's some good neature!
How neat is that!
Dude your enthusiasm for this is infectious; I love the relaxed yet excited atmosphere, it's inspiring.
With that infectious enthusiasm, I can totally imagine him in a dark alley smiling while holding a bloody knife.
maybe its mostly just the visuals, but this is your video with the most rewatches from me. great stuff
I love these videos because I get to watch destin geek out about something I've seen demo'd since my freshman year of college and yet by the end of the video I'm still the one geeking out about something new I've learned
Amazing 👍👍
Your next project should be the underwater camera tube.
Seconded!

I think they worked out an "underwater" rig when filming guns underwater and cavitation bubbles when working with the Slo-Mo Guys. IT used Two mirrors and reflections...
Somebody call Mark Rober.
"Learning things on kayaks with lasers."
Make that a shirt! Boost this comment and see if Destin will go for the idea!
Design thought: rustic looking font and colors: brown on a beige shirt. Silhouette of a man in a kayak reaching below the water with a neon green line coming from his hand bouncing off the water line. Or holding a thick neon green light saber (acrylic rod)
Possibly even put "smarter every day 219" in smaller font below the quote. Nothing wrong with advertising intelligent and entertaining program

AYE!!
I third that
I'll buy it

Coming back months later because your enthusiasm and joy always makes me smile. :)
Career cnc co2 laser operator here for ever a decade. This has been one of the coolest laser light tricks i've seen in years. Kudos.
"I happen to bring a larger version of a fiber optic with me" - sounds like what a leisure kayaker would bring

I feel like they didn't really *need* to be in kayaks on a lake to make this video but I wouldn't want to spoil the fun 👍
no, he’s on a lake in a kayak
he's actually on a Viking longboat
4:28 I never could visualize wave interference, but it was mind blowing when I saw that wave forming and those sharp points. There has never been a video more enjoyable. More on this please.
Just Mercy also illuminated my mind. Thanks for mentioning it!
"Learning things on kayaks with lasers"
I'd watch that show
Umm.... I think you just did...
"Total Internal Reflection" sounds like a level 10 meditation or yoga technique. Lol
I love how excited you get. You inspire me
just wanted to point out how much you have my respect for reading Just Mercy, and reflecting on it too (in addition to literally everything else that is amazing on this channel haha)
Regular science is too easy. I know lets do it in a swamp in kayaks in the middle of the night...
kinda wouldn't work if it wasn't night :P
"You can tell it's an aspen, because of the way it is"
Destin freaking rocks.
That made me so happy when he said that 😂
That's pretty neat!
I love how excited you get. It just gets me excited about this and this video is so funny with all the giggles and jokes.
Destin does an excellent job showing how the principles of fiber optics work in an intuitive way. Some of the earliest experiments that led to what we know as fiber optics today began by observing how light was contained in the streams of illuminated water fountains in the late 1800s. As for transmitting an image using fiber optics, the technology has actually been around since the 1950s. They are called "image guides" are used in the medical industry (endoscopes), the military, and some other industrial applications.
that’s amazing that technology has been used since the 1950s!!
4:34 just imagine if there were some people at the shore, they would think that some kind of alien stuff would be happening on the water!
Parker Bartnicki well I don’t really know about Huntsville
Destin can be like this: "Oh, that's acoustically pleasing!"
And this: "Can I light up the whole water?"
In the same video, and I love it.
I watched this a couple of times last year and it STILL tickles me half to death. And i haven't even heard anything acoustically pleasing today!!
Destin is just a cool guy.
Deude! I love your curiosity...never stop learning every day!
I'm pretty sure this is the first time in history that those objects been together in a boat

Not in any boat, but in a kayak
I love how genuinely giddy with excitement Destin is in this video
“It’s moving my “Kayak” because it’s soo big” 😂 that’s what he said, I love this guy 😂

Who did you get this kayak from, Mary Poppins??
bahahaha
Dustin: This is so gonna look like a light saber!
Pulls out a 5’ glow stick... 😂
I actually did a project on this in grade 10 science on laser refractions underwater, and I have been wondering since then what would happen at a far larger scale. Finding this video has cured a curiosity that I've had for years since my childhood, thank you.
I LOVE how exited you are...this is SO cool!!!
I just gave an exam about this stuff so when I saw this video I was like "well, this would've been useful yesterday"
Your videos make me so happy every time I watch one of your videos your mood makes me smile
That is so true.
It also works between layers of air; this is how amateur radio operators can communicate around the world with a 1watt [short wave - SW] AM or SSB radio.
Between layers of water in the ocean; this is how submarines can hide from Sonar.
Your flat LCD screen backlight works on this principle. I saw it demonstrated some 30+ years ago.
Good Job!
The pure excitement and passion is truly special.

@4:27 that standing wave made me gasp out loud, awesome, literally.
Yeah that's awesome, but it's not a standing wawe. The light is just bouncing back and forth between the two surfaces
"The light is just bouncing back and forth between the two surfaces"
which creates a standing wave.
yeah, it really is a standing wave. exactly like what you would get if you create a constant source of wave energy in an enclosed circle.
It isn't a perfect standing wave because the bottom antinodes aren't as crisp as the antinodes on top. Presumably because it isn't total internal reflection, some light is escaping through.
@@thomasneal9291 A standing wawe is when two wawes with the same wawelenght, traveling in opposite directions with the same speed interfere. This creates a wawe that has stationary nodes.
(What circle?)
@@thomasneal9291 Btw i'm not that involved in the topic but i havent really heard of standing wawes of light, and i imagine they would be extremely hard to create
Shoutout to your buddy instantly saying "put your goggles on".
So are the goggles just for when you or someone accidentally points the lazer into someone's eyes?
@@ishab.6798 Why are you asking me, idiot?
They're to protect your eyes from the laser light. You don't have to point it into your eyes, the whole video is about _reflection._

This is simple, fun and awesome. I love the big elaborate storytelling videos like the last one, but I never feel cheated by seeing you point out a fascinating natural phenomenon and geek out over it while explaining it to me.
Great video amigo!
I am sure Destin put the Christmas ornament sound effect in there for your benefit... :-)
Love that good old aspen joke! Love watching your videos. I made it a point to watch all your videos while I'm out here in the Marshall Islands for work.
I have been involved with selling infrared based fiberoptic sensors from as far back as the early 80s. The infrared was at the invisible wavelength frequency, but if you turned on a camcorder you could see it. Pretty amazing laws of physics that are displayed regarding light, attenuation of that light when it comes to different mediums that you shine the light through such as dust, water, glass, and on and on. We then made UV sensors with fiberoptics attached. The inexpensive versions are acrylic, but true glass was the way to go.
"I'm gonna quit talkin' and just do stuff." I like that.
Your videos make me so happy every time I watch one
:)
omg I just came to the comments to type pretty much the same thing! 😀👍
Playing about with an LED torch and running water one night I discovered that the light travels with the water stream. Really fascinating to do this.
