the cheaper crystals are not as expensive, you can even crow some at home, but you need a laser for them to work, so yea its this product doesn't work

@@zweiblali3410 why à laser ? The only thing special about laser light is that it has all its energy at one frequency.

I already typed up the physics explanation to it and you beat me to the example… but since I have it: I can’t find fitting literature, so you have to do with my explanation (If there is someone with a better background in laser physics than me, please link something…) (And this will be very much simplified, and I hope that it will be understandable without a degree in physics.) Light can be described as a particle called a photon. The photon has a certain energy. A photon representing light of UV wavelength of 340nm has an energy of 3.6eV a photon with 220nm has 5.64eV. When light reacts with any material it reacts with its atoms. This means the atom it self absorbs the energy of the photon. Atom plus UV photon gives you an atom with an energy plus 3.6eV. Now it is possible for an atom to absorb two atoms at the same time. (This called two-photon absorption. You can find that on Wikipedia.) So you have an atom plus two UV-photons. You have an Atom plus 2x3.6eV=7.2eV. In theory this atom can emit the energy directly back as light. It can do it like it received it in 2 photons or it can do it as a single photon. If it would do it as a single photon this photon would have an energy of 7.2eV (and a wavelength of ~170nm). In the real world this is much more complicated. A material absorbing two photons at the same time has a certain chance, and it is quite unlikely. It gets more likely if you shine more light on it. So laser would come in handy. You will not get that with an LED from a smartphone. And than it needs to emit the photon back with the higher wavelength, and that is even less likely. I know that there is some research done on this topic. Mostly involving fancy materials with certain behaviors making the stuff I described more likely. And high power lasers.

How about phosphors in a florescent lamp? Don't they become excited by the photon energy then emit their own photons, thus convert light of one wavelength into another (white light)?

@@datachu Yes they do but from a higher energy to a lower energy, fluorescent bulbs I think make UV light and the phosphor converts this to white light. The difficulty arises when you want to go from low energy photons (e.g. visible light) to high energy photons (e.g. UV light)

Wanted to comment exactly this. Frequency doubler crystals exist that convert IR to green light for lasers. But yeah you do need a laser 😅.

Obviously a scam but... Theoretically you could also focus non collimated light onto a blackbody emitter, heating it to a high temperature, & use a selectively reflective mirror to reflect back low freq. light, and allow high freq. (UV) light through. Pretty inefficient though, because while blackbody radiation is broad spectrum, UV always makes up a small portion of it. Inefficient and clunky, but technically passive up-conversion of frequency without messing around with frequency doubling materials and lasers.

I have a laser in my phone. If I buy this filter and turn it on and off fast enough, will it work..?

@@Wassermelonenbaum Can you turn it on and off 10^14 times a second?

@@benjaminmiller3620 I can turn it on and off 10 times in 14 seconds..

I just want to point out that changing visible light to uv is possible, using up-conversion phosphor doped with the right elements. But i doubt they actually did this and it is and will be a scam

@Clash Clan Technology connections is the only youtue channel that made me mad at my microwave. And my toaster.

*_"Can you sanitize your hands with BROWN light?"_*

Yes a real one will blind you

@@AgentOffice The real ones have the UV light source hidden inside, and they just sanitize the air they suck through. I built one myself in 2020, with a 75W UV discharge lamp inside and 3D-primted ventilation grilles which kept the UV light away from me. Yes, I took care to use a lamp which doesn't produce ozone. Yes, there are some devices who emit the UV light straight away, and which do produce ozone. These are meant to sanitize room where no human or animal is inside.

If you used UV light on your skin without protection on your skin you could damage it alot and maybe even get skin cancer, if you looked at the UV light you could get blind.

@@kosmas173 Yes, but that's with an actual UV light. They're saying as though the light on your phone is safe so long as you use their filter, weirdly implying that your phone, which most definitely is not UV, is unsafe witbout that filter. But let us not break our brains trying to make sense of these scammers.

Ye, that must've hurt

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Same. I own a C64 as well, so it stuck out immediately

That is true, but even if they'd do that, the output of this process is so low the resulting UV would be negligible.

Yes, was about to comment the same, shockingly from what I remember, there's yet another quantum process that increases frequency.

There are actually dopants which can cause a thin coating to do practically the same thing as the crystal used in the lasers. However you don’t just get half the photons at double the energy the medium you are using has to be excited by the light hitting it. Therefore the more intense the light on one bit of the material the more UVC it will emit per photon of visual light: the molecules stay pumped up to an excited state for longer because enough energy is coming in to keep them that way if an individual molecule doesn’t get quite enough energy quickly enough the energy will be converted to heat etc. The keywords to search seem to be UVC up conversion nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1033866 The award site has a list of recent publications based on the “nanocrystal” method

My brain and physics just do not get along, but what you described sounds like the pinned comment from Atomic Shrimp at the top of this video. I feel smarter being surrounded by other smart people, lol.

The important thing is that no physical laws are violated. It's still not practical, but it's entirely possible to change the wavelength of light in both directions, higher and lower frequency.

@@glenecollins I'm pretty sure the efficiency you'd get from converting the light from the smartphone flashlight to UVC would be laughable. Upconversion with a specific wavelength which is done in many green laser pointers is overall pretty efficient, as is downconversion from i.e. blue light as it is done in white LEDs and many laser projectors also. My point was only that there is no violation of physical laws. It's just not practical, and of course, the product is still a scam, as are many UVA desinfection products.

UV Lamp powered by phone USB?

yea, it's not impossible like he claims. some molecules can absorb certain wavelengths and re-emit others. it's just that, to do this, the light needs to be absorbed. so the filter wouldn't be see through, and the new light would be scattered in every direction

Fluorescent lights?

Is it a VIC20 or C64 tho?

@@jaypaans3471 To my knowledge, fluorescent lighting tubes are made to produce specific types of light, they produce that light through electrical arc-ing through various gasses. Some florescent lighting tubes filter out light frequencies that aren't required by having a coating on the inside too. The 'filter' and even the tiny bit of actual science absurdly referenced in the advertising blurb of this product have nothing to do with florescent tube technology. The flash light on a smartphone isn't a fluorescent tube or even a Laser light emitter. It's just a high intensity LED.

@@penfold7800 fluorescent light gas discharge create UV light, and some minor blue/pink glow. It makes very little visible light, so filters are useless here. The fluorescent layer _converts_ it into _many_ lower wavelength lights. The high power white LEDs are very similar: the LED makes blue or low UV-A light, and the fluorescent paint converts into visible light. LEDs are far superior because they can create the light with much higher efficiency, and they are designed to make a light the best wavelength for the fluorescent layer. (gas discharge is very limited in frequency choices) The result is that the spectrum of CFL light is discontinuous and can make things look ugly. But modern (not cheap) white LEDs have practically continuous spectrum and very good color rendering. (and simple LEDs can be turned into lasers if you put them into a tuned optical cavity resonator, a good example are VCSELs, but generally you do not want laser light because the cavity lowers the efficiency)

a similar thing is achieved in dpss lasers, if u habe a green laser pointer laying around im 90% sure its a dpss one, it has a ir laser diode in it whose outputs wavelength gets doubled and then halfed with a series of crystals (nd:yvo4, ktp etc ) and the end result is 532nm green light generated from 808nm ir laser diode, chk out "styropyros" channel.for more info about lasers and other stuff
