0:04 here providing a demonstration of the
0:08 electron sling FEL
0:12 uh making ripples in water surfaces.
0:15 Upon firing, the laser unit will often
0:18 ripple a source of water
0:21 significantly and cause disturbances in
0:23 the surface of the water.
0:26 So, I have it on mixed microwave X-rays
0:28 right now. The laser is currently charging.
0:30 charging.
0:34 I can use the wrist strap functionality
0:38 by putting my hand through the tuner and
0:40 holding the buttons
0:47 I'll point it at the water
1:26 You saw that impulse come from right here,
1:28 here,
1:30 right in the center of the screen.
1:59 Uhhuh.
2:01 Yes. This laser is excellent at making
2:05 bursts and bubbles in the water.
2:07 The last video I produced, I burned some
2:11 magnesium and the flakes were 30 g and
2:13 all together and were conducting mixed
2:15 microwave and x-ray signals out of the laser.
2:16 laser.
2:18 It resulted in a blackening and a
2:21 wrinkling and shriveling of the
2:24 magnesium, an oxidation of the surface,
2:27 and a more uh bronzy characteristic to
2:31 the metal, as well as a change in volume
2:34 of the of the flakes.
2:38 So, in this demonstration
2:40 here, hopefully we'll see it more
2:44 clearly now. The true effect
2:46 of firing the fully charged laser into
2:56 It's going to go to the middle of the screen.
3:05 There was a tiny ripple there just a
3:16 I'll see what I can do on low power mode
3:18 if I just hold the red button. If it
3:20 makes any difference in this cup of coffee,
4:02 I'm keeping the unit charged here.
4:05 This battery is shake rechargeable. I
4:07 want to keep it at max voltage and it
4:09 helps to charge the laser if you shake it.
4:11 it.
4:14 It's a ionic recipe of citric acid,
4:18 table salt, and sugar. Mostly table salt
4:32 That first little shake before the three
4:36 droplets hit was the effect of the beam.
4:38 It tends to work better in a deeper
4:40 water source.
4:44 In a 3 or 4ft area of a stream, the beam
4:46 tends to make a full droplet as if a
4:48 minnow had just jumped to the surface of
4:52 the stream. I mean, a considerable dot.
4:54 It makes a splash sound that you can
4:57 hear from 20 ft away.
4:59 That's the effect of the microwave X-ray
5:01 conjugate packets.
5:03 It works better in water like this
5:06 because the X-rays likely break down
5:09 ions dissolved in the water
5:12 and oxidize them, whereas the microwaves
5:14 likely are causing most of the ripple effect,
5:17 effect,
5:21 but the action together may be stronger.
5:40 You see that little burst that happened
5:43 right there?
5:58 I'll try it one more time.
6:05 On a full charge, which takes about 50
6:07 whole seconds,
6:19 So the peak energy is about a megawatt
6:22 for 1 millisecond of the pulse. It
6:25 degrades um very quickly. The net effect
6:28 of the 2 seconds of pulse energy you can
6:32 release over 2 seconds is 3 megaww for a
6:35 millisecond or a megawatt for 3
6:39 milliseconds. That's a lot of power.
6:41 That amount of energy is quite quite
6:43 high. That's the maximum this laser
6:45 gives out and that's quite enough to
6:47 splash into water. You'll be able to
6:51 hear it from 20 ft away. I sell these on
6:56 my website now at feldesign fel fel-de
7:00 sig gnesign.square.
7:03 site. If you guys want custom lasers,
7:06 kits or parts built and ordered, I'll be
7:09 shipping kits out anytime you want. Um,
7:12 I'll often take a job to manufacture and
7:15 and ship out a laser for you. Um,
7:17 although there are disclaimers like do
7:20 not intend to use the laser, charge it
7:22 at your own risk and etc. I'm only using
7:25 this one that I made because it's not related.
7:27 related.
7:32 But here is the Electron Sling FEL
7:35 making another splash on the shore.
