This is not your grandmother's potato cannon.
This little thing has 100 watts of blue laser power.
That's ridiculous.
I don't trust it!
Six months ago we built the world's first Half-scale Cybertruck.
since then we've been bombarded with questions like this
and the Internet has been flooded with pictures like this
so when State of Survival asked us if we could build the ultimate zombie survival vehicle we said...
Hell yeah
this is not your grandmother's potato cannon.
This is a fully welded and machined aluminum pneumatic air cannon
let's see what it can do
Let's load some apples
oh my god! That Apple just blew up a piece of concrete!!
does anyone else just like taste apple
our cyber truck needs to shoot more than apple. so we actually machined this piece
of delrin which is terrifying. So I'm gonna load this, I'm gonna go outside,
close the garage door and we're gonna fire with all the cameras filming
3, 2, 1...
that thing is freaking awesome it's got to be the most powerful potato cannon
I've ever used.
now the question is how are we gonna actually attach it to the cybertruck
and more importantly how are we gonna be able to aim it while it's on the cybertruck?
This video is created with support from State of Survival
a zombie themed survival strategy game available on mobile
an evil company called GigaCorp releases a zombie virus that threatens the entire world as some
of the few survivors it's up to us to rebuild our homes, fend off zombies
defeat GigaCorp and save humankind. You'll start by developing your settlements
building your own zombie stronghold to fend off the flesh-eaters. We can then
team up and join alliances with other players and of course venture off into
the unknown to defeat the zombies it's free to play and there are tons of fun
events to win rewards to help you progress plus it doesn't matter when or
where you play unlike other strategy games stays survival also integrates tower
defense elements which makes it super fun and engaging. If you love zombie
hunting you experience battles with huge amounts of zombies in the Explorer trail
there are also hidden secrets and puzzles for even the most clever players
explore the world and make your own decisions there are so many different
storylines waiting for you. Support our channel today by downloading State of Survival now.

A few months ago Ian picked up this.
this is a hydraulically controlled gimbal for a
fire truck nozzle this thing can shoot hundreds of gallons of water
now all we need to do is figure out how to mount the cannon to this
fire
I don't know about you guys but this feels a bit too 1940s for me
This is a Cybertruck after all.Let's add some new technology and bring this thing into the 21st century.
hey everybody its Styropyro here. Earlier this year i was able to get my
hands on some next-generation laser diode arrays now these arrays are
absolutely terrifying so far beyond the highest laser danger ratings that they
have to be operated with total respect and high OD laser goggles are an
absolute must wow that's crazy I did not expect to see
the day where I could shoot through metal with a handheld laser!
For my part in the collab I sourced the array built the driving circuitry for the build
it's actually quite similar to the setup I used in my 100 watt handheld
laser video and the driver provides a constant current to the laser diodes to
keep him running happy Oh quick test shows that the laser works
great but I can't run it here long without a heatsink or it'll burn itself up
now I'm not much of a machinist but this is where the Hacksmith gets to use
his magic to come up with a mounting and cooling system for this crazy array now
the Hacksmith has been operating high-powered lasers for years so he
knows to treat these unbelievable powers with respect so without further ado I'm
handing over this piece of insanity to the Hacksmith
As a matter of fact we've recently received a shipment from styropyro let's open it up and see where we're at
so we've got a laser driver but more importantly the diode
so this is the laser diode this little thing has a hundred watts of blue laser
power that's ridiculous
As Styropyro mentioned, this diode puts out a lot of heat,
so we'll need a way to cool it to do that we'll go the easy and efficient
way of using water cooling this water cooling loop is made of standard PC
components and should dissipate the heat pretty well
let's put it all together
first we need to attach connectors to the driver
cover this up to make sure we dont get anything in the lens
Then we need to wire up the diode to the driver.
finally we can mount the diode onto the heatsink
Wow this thing is beautiful
we've got the entire laser set up in the shipping container because it's too dangerous to be in the same room when testing
so we're gonna lock this up, leave a camera in there and hopefully get some good footage footage
three-two-one
oh, he's on fire... nice
three two one
Bogdan's finished installing the laser into our cybertruck officially bringing it into the 21st century.
This laser is super dangerous that's why it's really
important to be using proper laser safety goggles whenever you're using any kind of laser.
I'm gonna go somewhere else anyways because I don't trust it
ha
whoo
bad day for safety chicken
aim down slightly there we go
she's having a bad day
all right that's been pretty awesome so far let's try using them together
we've got a concrete tower here we're gonna light it on fire using the laser and
then blast it to bits using our pneumatic cannon
alright that was freaking awesome we've militarized hey hey we've militarized
our half-scale cyb... we've militarized our half-scale cybertruck with this
awesome pneumatic air cannon and this amazing laser diode that we got from
Styropyro as awesome... Oh God is looking right at me I'm glad I
unplugged that. Anyway big THANK YOU to Styropyro for sending us this awesome
laser module if you guys have never heard of him you're in for a treat go
subscribe his channel right now he does everything with lasers and he's the best at it.
Thanks for watching I hope you guys subscribe
