@techoverload 4 года назад

The follow up science behind the mirrors breaking: All the mirrors used were second surface mirrors, meaning the part that actually reflects the beam is under the clear glass. Because the focused beam has to go through the glass bounce off the reflective surface then go through the glass again it should be no surprise that the glass melts/breaks the same way a normal piece of glass would break. If anything you are adding more energy/heat into the glass as the beam is not passing through the glass. You also have to consider any spec of dust or streak on the glass or tiny imperfection in the glass also absorbs the heat. This is why optics for things like lasers use first surface mirrors, where the reflective portion of the mirror is on top. These mirrors absorb very little energy as it is mostly reflected. Second surface mirrors are used because re-polishing a reflective metal surface, which is not nearly as scratch resistant as glass, is much harder than cleaning a piece of glass. So in general used as something to see your self in etc second surface mirrors are much more durable and cheaper to manufacture, but are not suited for energy reflection.

@jedidahfrederick2025 4 года назад

Did you copy that straight off the internet

@techoverload 4 года назад

@@jedidahfrederick2025 no, just 20+ years of working with high energy equipment like lasers well into the thousands of watts. First surface/second surface mirror knowledge is fairly basic and necessary even in very low powered laser usage as a laser reflected off a second surface mirror is going to diffuse, not have a predictable path and depending on wave length will produce an unwanted "ghost" reflection traveling at a different angle. All that is fine if you're only using it for a toy laser that will draw patterns on your wall etc. However for any kind of scientific work , precision work (making holograms etc) or as stated in my original reply, for high powered lasers/beams, a second surface mirror would never be an option.

I second this. Cheap glass on cheap mirrors had impurities like iron in the glass making it a suboptimal material for this. A first surface mirror would eliminate that variable and truly test the ability of mirrors to reflect such a concentrated sunbeam.

For the aerosol spray to ignite when you spray, you will have to mix the aerosol with some kind of color. So when the magnifying light hits it, it wont reflect thru like the clear aerosol spray. It's like water, the heat light will just go thru the clear aerosol without being contact to a color aerosol spray. Try dyeing the aerosol to a different color and maybe it will ignite

I think the reason the mirrors are breaking is that they are still absorbing infrared(IR) frequencies. Common mirrors only reflect visible light. Silver backed, and likely other metallic backed mirrors are great at absorbing IR. You should try smoothing out some aluminum foil, and maybe polishing it into a mirror. Aluminum reflects about 95% of IR, so your results might be much better. But you should also be cautious. If the aluminum does burn it will produce fumes that are hazardous to your health.

Your guys should put broken glass or mirror in a crucible and put it under the solar beam and see if u can fully melt it??

What would happen if you used the solar beam on oobleck?

@coolfool121 4 года назад

you should get with styropyro and his 200w laser bazooka and see what happens combined with the solar scorcher

@DaBalloonGuy67 4 года назад

You need to try making glass sculptures using the solar scorcher. Even just to melt some glass rods.

Based on how many mirrors they broke today, they are gonna have like 140 years of bad luck😂

It would be cool to try a parabolic mirror with the solar scorcher

@benthiessen3811 3 года назад

Old video, but still, CRAZY! Could you then take the focal point and use the lenses from the projection tv and/or prisms to convert it into a beam you could aim in any direction?

@perspective8369 4 года назад

What about spraying like liquid oxygen or something really really flammable into the focal point

@StefanAnd 4 года назад

Oxygen itself isn't flammable but it speeds up the burning or combustion of other things

@perspective8369 4 года назад

Super Stefanovich liquid oxygen is

@theharwizard8093 4 года назад

Perspective No it isn’t he just said that. Oxygen is an Oxidizer which means it aids in the combustion of other compounds. It isn’t flammable itself.

@perspective8369 4 года назад

Frankenwood have u seen the vid where he lit liquid oxygen on fire

Oxygen ain’t flammable. Hydrogen is your word

Can you guys try deep frying an aerosol can? Love the vids btw😁

@kingdom13keeper 4 года назад

Now that you have tried mirrors, I really want to see metal and how if it will reflect the light or if it will actually melt. Like try a small aluminum sheet, steel sheet, copper sheet, and maybe tin. See how those work under the sun. Then see if after, you can do something similar to today with the popcorn but put the popcorn directly in the initial sun.

Kind of reminds me of the solar ovens and grills we made in the boy scouts. We were able to cook steaks, hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza, all sorts of things.
