The potential in this this is crazy. Imagine weddings with rainbow chocolate treats or walls/sheets of smooth chocolate but rainbow writing/logos for big events and things. Money is involved big time here. Market is huge.
it's so interesting that you said this! lol, I am a graphic designer and I specialize in wedding/event stationery and curated gifting /confectionery...I came on to this video because i youtubed "shimmer chocolate" coz I want to provide something different to the market. this is pretty dope
not so huge. you could probably commission something like this for a wedding cake or whatever right now - but commercially, these would have to be meticulously temperature controlled and handled extremely delicately, since the diffraction is just coming from an impression on the surface.
This channel hit great heights a long time ago but I’m still astounded by how new and unique content is made like this. You can tell some serious work goes into this and it’s paying off. Love it 😀👍🏼
*Later* Chocolate company CEO: Action lab guy was able to make this in his room! *pause* With a bunch of scrap! Lab scientist: I'm sorry... I'm not action lab guy
True, as in the future with better packaging and shipment, this will be done now it isn't possible as the chocolate will melt and/or chipped a little which will destroy the pattern, causing the rainbow to go away
I've seen other videos on this topic throughout RU-vid But this is by far the best and most interesting take on it that I've ever seen. This was a really cool video.
this was a lot of fun! the properties of light are really amazing. we know them well, yet there is also such an unknowable element to it that we cannot figure out, the wave/particle paradox.
Me: Watching chocolate My Stomach: I want one 4-D Chocolate Me: No, I cannot Stomach: I'll see you later, I'll inform to brain about it, brain will take care 😉😉😉 Me: 😱😱😱
Very cool. Applied science and Thought Emporium both covered this topic a short while ago, putting holograms on chocolate. But neither of them really explained the detraction grating as well and neither showed or explained the chocolate tempering as clearly as you did. Great video.
I bought cube of this exact sheeting after seeing this. It's awesome. They sent a little paper pair of glasses with it. Turns every light into a snowflake.
@The Action Lab You should do thin film interference next. You could explain how the particular color patterns arise in soap bubbles, and why the pattern is always the same in the beginning, but differs later depending on the white light source. I graphed the colors in Kaleidagraph. It's pretty cool!
Looking at the light bulb reminded me of when i used to come home from the pool and having opened my eyes underwater made all light sources look like that, like a rainbow on every light source
Image search for diffractive film. Generally grooves are molded (as he did to the chocolate) or laser-etched into the surface, making wave-like striations. The material he's showing us has these grooves in straight lines, with one side perpendicular to the other. Lots of other patterns are available and this is the same technology that makes rainbow holographic images and decorative coatings. The gift wrapping section of your local supermarket likely has plenty of examples, and I've even seen kids shoes with this kind of coating.
3:59 Nitpicking, I know, but it's actually a grid of red, blue, and green light. You can see that more clearly in the outer most section of the grid where the displacements are much more offset from each other. It's a pretty cool demonstration of the fact that they're the 3 primary additive colours too! Edit: I commented too early and you pretty much said this immediately afterwards anyway lol. My bad.
They don't try to be boring, they just don't know how to be interesting because that's the way most schooling has been taught for generations, and it takes effort to make teaching interesting - more effort than most teachers and administrators are willing to put in, in order to get whatever their quota of passing students is. As long as "enough" students grasp the information long enough to pass a test at the end of the class period, state requirements are satisfied, so the school is satisfied. Teachers who want everybody in their class to be engaged, and retain what they learn for a lifetime, and are so excited about learning that they pass that info on to other people, are rare.
I've experienced something interesting today, and I was wondering if it was some sort disfraction, so I was walking on the street with my mask on, the street lamp was still on, and then my glasses became foggy and when I looked at the street lamp (one eyes seeing trough the mist, the other clear) their was a halo around it, degrading from dark blue to red, just like at 4:20 (nice) exept in the form of a donuts around the light source without any clear separation between the colors.
this is caused by the shape of your corneas actually, regular eyes see halos, people with astigmatism (like me) see sharp long lines of light coming off the lamp.
SpouPerNatural what about this effect: I can sometimes separate colors of a bright light (like in the video separating the white into red, green, and blue) with just my eyes. I look to the left of the light, then quickly move my eyes to the right. In between, I see a flash of the colors that make up that light (e.g., a white led might become separated into red, green, and blue)
• What grading are your gratings? 500 lines/mm? 1000? 🤔 • Did the chocolate mess up the grating? Does it still look correct? • That's a pretty neat trick and can really add a great gimmick to homemade treats. 👍
2 years after running out of good ideas for science youtube videos: “Hey everyone, today I’m going to be using quantum mechanics to make holographic rainbows on chocolate”
Ben @ Applied Science channel did it a couple of years ago. Highly recommend his video, be goes much deeper into the science of it, and does it to a bunch of different materials, not just chocolate...
In elementary school, my friend brought this laser pointer that has these attachments that each one gave a different picture(like the Earth you showed.) Are they diffraction gratings too?
You earned a sub. Really nice simple and well explained videos. Got to admit that you have a terrific(very good) video quality and humor. Today I saw more than 40 different videos from your channel and still watching more.
@@nicquintana1092, now that Simon corrected you, you can edit your OP and he can then delete his correction from his reply. (And then I'd delete this, of course.)
Light is so amazing, my next question happens to be however "Since this is literally a physical pattern that is used to refract light is there a way to make a pattern to refract only certain colors such as make material such as chocolate appear only red, it would serve little purpose but to look cool and only work when looking at it from an even more limited angle i am sure but it would be awesome if we could literally dye stuff with shapes haha Also figured it would be an interesting video to try and see if we could find such a "shape" to reflect only a certain wavelength of light instead of the entire spectrum tat trapped the rest of them or staggered it to be less notable or some such. Always love this channel thanks for being you man.
If you put that diffraction gratings in frames of like some cheap sunglasses (or cardboard / carf stock) you can view the world in a pretty trippy way. Cool for watching fireworks or lights in the yuletree 😊👍
Back in the VHS days I had a movie that came with 2 pairs of "goggles" made with defractive lenses exactly as shown here. The video was of animated fractal-like patterns, and the goggles made them look hyper-3D and significantly larger than the television itself. Very cool indeed.
One of the coolest things i've seen. I knew all the theory but the crystalline structure of chocolate and imprinting the properties on it? Dude, patent it... xD
Thank you for the link to the sheets I'm going to be getting that tiny house built in the summer in my Grandma's backyard and I'm thinking about putting these in the windows where the sun and street lights are facing
Better explanation of the light interference than other videos, although one should note that previous people made videos like this earlier, and they explained in more detail how to get the holographic images onto the chocolate. ( *Tech Ingredients, Applied Science* ) For those that are interested in this, they should check out these other two channels. In particular Applied Science shows how to make a 3D hologram image on the chocolate (although it's not easy!)
1:58 and 4:46 - and that’s how those laser light shows that DJs have and/or you can get at Spencer Gifts or normal stores through the holiday seasons work.
I had always wondered how something so cheap could make that pattern, I mean there’s no way it would have been mirrors and several lasers so this was really eye opening and cool to see
