Your shirt probably fluoresces because of the detergent. When the companies say "whiter than white" they mean they put florescent dye into the detergent to make them brighter in sunlight.
@ARCSTREAMS 3 жыл бұрын
so we can take detergent and disolve it in water or alcohol to make a dye for the laser and we can get visible laser beam after it goes through it? im not juts talking about inside the cuvette or jar but once it passes should you not get a visible beam?
@rigen97 3 жыл бұрын
@@ARCSTREAMS I don't think that'll work since fluorescent material emits light in all directions, not directionally. So the detergent solution would glow, and some UV light that weren't absorbed would pass through, but I don't think you'd be getting dyed laser this way.
@ARCSTREAMS 3 жыл бұрын
@@rigen97 it all depends on the beam to begin with, i seen vids of ppl using a tea laser beam to pump a dye solution and get it to emit a different color beam out ,of course this means the dye is lasing (ie stimulated emission) ,and fyi all laser materials emit light in different directions before some of this light is bouncing back n forth between mirrors and stimulating more photons in the same direction so that has no bearing ,also some of these lasers emitted by pumped dyes in a cell do not even have mirrors but the beam is still generated because it has such high gain

I've heard of plans that are little more than the excited emitter, a polished surface in the rear, a tube, and a hole for the photons to escape on the opposite end. The idea behind it was that only those photons that were on the proper plane could escape while being coherent. It sounds like one could do this with something like a flashlight where the apparatus discriminated all of the unusable photons, but I guess there's something with all of the different frequencies and ranges of them along the spectrum that interferes and causes it to not work that way. I'm not a ohysicist so I can't say anything for sure in this regard, but it sounds pretty.

One project ive always wanted to see a diy crt, maby even with an electromagnet to demonstrate the fact that you can bend the beam with magnetic fields. It is a device that nearly everyone has seen atleast once, but most never give it much thought. It would be cool to see the the technology that was once in nearly every home, and would be a good way to learn about them, and you could even (carefully!) break open an old tv and show the similarities and differences between your tube and the commercial ones.

This reminds me of a similar build following an Amateur Scientist article by C.L. Stong in the 1974 edition of Scientific American, pp. 122-128. It utilized a 3 plate capacitor made by etching a double sided PCB, two strips of copper foil, and a plexiglass enclosure to contain flowing N2 gas. What attracted me to the build, was the simplicity of the design, and lack of mirrors at the cavity ends, required in other popular gas lasers of this era, ie. HeNe and CO2. Congratulations on your build! I've been enjoying your videos exploring the world of High Voltage generators, along with the detailed build instructions to replicate your projects, that are both functional, and nice to look at when not energized. Some future projects to consider could be... - Electronic electroscope, using a center zero uA meter to show positive or negative charge. - Kelvin electrostatic generator, using a battery powered water pump. - Radial or Cylindrical Dirod electrostatic generator (see Electrostatics by A.D. Moore). - Bonetti or Voss sectorless Wimshurst machine, powered by small DC motor. - Safe (non-mains connected), ZVS powered SSTC with 556 IC interrupter circuit (pulse, frequency).

You know they actually put UV fluorescent particles in some clothes detergents (for white clothes at least). That way they can actually genuinely be "whiter than white' as some ads used to say when i was little. You get the white light from all the colors but you get extra brightness on top from the UV getting turned visible.
@priyabratasadhukhan6435 3 жыл бұрын
Not only the detergent, processing of the textile fibres requires many chemicals that are very fluorescent. Thats why most cloths glows in UV or Blue laser. You can scan your living room floor with a 405 nm Laser pointer and see the floor is full of tiny bright stars. Thats the small fibres ripped off your cloths.

@randysmith5581 3 жыл бұрын
Made one of these in grad school to do Raman spectroscopy. As a hint: these are super radiant lasers. It helps to put the spark gap at the far outer corner of the top plate. That way it generates a wave across the plate and the discharge starts at one end of the gap and travels down the channel at the speed of light, exciting the nitrogen as it goes. When we tested it this gave the best beam intensity. Keep up the great content. I always enjoy your work (and keeping my one hand in my pocket has saved my life multiple times!)...

@blackbeardthepirate7467 3 жыл бұрын
Like stated at around 5:30 in the video, the lasing occurs as a chain reaction, avalanche, whatever appeals to your understanding. When an energized nitrogen molecule drops in energy state along the length of the rails, a photon is ejected, this one photon cascades through other energized nitrogen molecules along the path of the rails exciting more photon discharges, because the rails are straight you end up with a coherent group of photons traveling along the same vector as they leave the rails. There is a beam emitted from either end of this apparatus. I believe that's an accurate description, hopefully someone will chime in if I am giving you bad information.

I built a low pressure version of this type of laser in 1977. It's called a super-radiant laser. Same basic type of power supply, except that I had a 15kv neon sign transformer that was bigger than a loaf of bread and fed that into a full wave bridge rectifier to power things. That was the year that I learned to really fear/respect High Voltage. I also used 10mil mylar, and even then I had to constantly "repair" shorts in the capacitor.

Excellent tutorial! A "transmographic laser", (in another phrase), is simply exciting two- not more!- atoms in a row. This means the electromagnetic pulse should be a specific size: the radius of a Nitrogen atom (for ultraviolet-likely light) x4, and not too much larger, or smaller! This is a radial burst of about 1 x 10^18 Hz, or 1 billion gigahertz in voltage-pressure. If you use a radial harmonic you'll achieve a less often, so less intense, laser instead-- down to even 1 Hz or smaller! Lasers are easily made of regular LEDs, simply focus them through a nitrogen-gas tank to achieve the similar wavelength of UV light-passthrough. You've created an LED, followed by two filtering cusps, all from home-available pieces! Very well-done!

I had no idea this was even possible! was cool to see a mix of physics, chemistry and electrical elements that all made this possible. Something id love to see on your channel is a Jacobs ladder. I've always been mesmerised by them and think it would be cool to see how you would make one.

Learn something new every day. I Remember way back when my dad introduced me to laser basics in the 70's that there was a form of liquid laser media that was essentially a popular brand of instant jello at the time...put into a glass vial with requisite mirrors on the ends...and it made a coherent laser. Any chance of anyone here recognizing this?

This project is awesome and answers a lot of questions about the unreliability of the TEA laser I built back in high school! Great work!!

i dont understand anything about electricity and i wish i did but this guys videos are beyond fascinating.. it makes me want to learn more! thanks for the awesome content!

That was awesome, I had no idea you could make a laser that way. Also a big fan of StyroPyro. I've been getting into more electronic projects and I've been thinking about getting some more tools when able to afford it. 😁

Cool TEA laser, your clothes react because most laundry soaps have UV dyes to make your clothes look brighter. Next project: anything high voltage, with HV you cant go wrong.

I've always wanted to build a TEA laser and now I have a great step by step tutorial. Thanks. I would also love to see a tesla coil made out of a taser. I love my bug zapper racket and arc lighter tesla coil so much! Thanks for the great content!

Amazing video, currently taking electricity and magnetism in college right now and it's amazing that I understand the circuits, capacitors and everything about the voltage and current. Was thinking about building my own but now sure where to get a power supply

This was pretty cool. I honestly have no idea what project should be next and I don't even know what I would di with the oscilloscope because I have no formal training in electronics. I'm still learning and really enjoy your videos

Love to see this lase through some optics for a better beam profile. Looks so fun, who could resist making one? I know I’m gonna try! Thanks.

im an electromecanician who is working his ass off to get better at electronics and i would need an oscillloscope SO MUCH to stop being only in the mechanic side of my job and get further in getting better. I liked the video ! you seems to explain very simply some things wich are hard to grasp with books they tend to put so much formulas and details that you can get lost.Good job with the videos keep em coming !

I thought of making one of these in my teens, I had my first HeNe laser in 1984, I still have 2 HeNe's and many direct diode as well as a few diode pumped lasers, made Tesla coils both solid state 12V flyback and spark gap hand wound PVC secondary types. I could really use an Oscilloscope.

Cool project! Made a GaAs pulsed laser in high school in the mid '70s. Had to use an IR fluorescing target to see it. Fun stuff!

Interesting that the nitrogen laser doesn’t need mirrors, that and the simple hardware (well, except for the high voltage power supply) and simple chemicals (air) makes this a nice project. Thanks for the two safety reminders, one hand in you pocket and safety glasses. Now, what can I use this for? Can’t measure the distance to the moon, up probably won’t reach through the air, can’t do a laser show with invisible light, can’t burn wood to engrave a sign. Can light up a sign if it has fluorescent paint, all we need is a galvo mirror. Yes, that’s a good next project, a galvo mirror deflecting the laser onto a screen to music, might even include a plasma speaker in the mix.

That project is indeed interesting and unique how a nitrogen laser is formed using just arcs and provision alignment

Awesome job! That's why I love the Plasma Channel; I always learn something new. Had no idea what a TEA laser was until this video. I think your next project should be a plasma speaker. Your builds always come out so good, I can only imagine how awesome a Jay-built plasma speaker would be.

Nice! my project suggestion is a video explain what happened here: - what other ways to make "incredible fast pulse"? - why does sanding electrodes help? - why does flattening elecrodes help? - can we ever make a configuration that causes it to burn anything?

I designed a ruby laser when I was a kid, figured out the process for making the ruby, asked my dad if we could use his oxy-acetylene torch and- he didn't want to know. Now I have my own tools so it'll make a fun project one day.

This project: these things seem really finicky. Glad you took the time! Future video: A more reliable/more powerful power supply than the one noted previously. Thank you!
