dude guys you're not going to freaking believe this check this
out oh my god it works so good my car
just went from midlife crisis mobile to midlife crisis mobile that freaking
glows today in partnership with bbr
we're announcing the most Hightech skin they have ever concocted in three
different color ways glow dark and short
circuit we thought what better way to show off how flipping
cool it is than to wrap my entire car in
glow feel cool yet I'm in a
Porsche we're going to show you guys how it works after we show you this message
from our sponsor MSI save big on your next laptop with their fall Ready haul
sale check out the thin and light stealth a16 AI plus which shines running
AAA games thanks to its 4070 GPU and 240
HZ display we're going to have that and more deals Linked In the video
description that was freaking sick I
hope I mean I'm past Linus and we still
have to wrap the car and we still have to make it Glow fortunately we have Pros
to wrap the car at least leaving us with the glow now as you might have already
guessed the new glow circuit skin and soon to be my car are glow-in-the-dark
or as the fancy boys would call it
phosphorescent a type of photoluminescence say when these kinds
of materials are lit up they can become photo excited a process in which photons
from the light excite electrons in the material to a higher energy State
storing the light's energy it's mine the
excited electrons can then either flues
or drop to a lower but still excited
intermediate level and stay there for
some period of time then with the help of a bit of thermal energy or heat a
relaxation can occur allowing the electrons to chill out and release their
extra excitement or or energy as photons
otherwise known as light or in this case
glow so tldr you use light to charge
glow-in-the-dark stuff except if you ever been a child you probably remember
that when you play around with this stuff the only time the effect really
pops is when you supercharge it and then immediately go to pitch Blackness
something that um isn't very likely to
happen under normal driving conditions so what can we do the most obvious
option would be to just leave my garage lights on all the time that way anytime
I wanted to go out for a night drive my car would be fully charged and ready to
go here's the thing that Professor Riley left out phosphorescent materials don't
react to all parts of the light spectrum equally so if you look at these two
flashlights one of them is going to appear brighter when I point both of
them at my glow material you can see that one is obviously more effective
replace my garage light fixtures with black lights I'm kidding honey don't
kill me my wife lets me get away with a lot but that isn't going to be
it so there's a few examples of Ivon putting up with a lot so our goal then
is to get as much of the right wavelength light as close to the car as
possible ideally without spending a fortune so I did what any San YouTuber
would do and bought a whole bunch of different black lights for science tell
me about these agricultural lights you mean grow lights well yeah they daisy
chain together they're cheap and they cover a lot of area wow that definitely
pops the light color is actually not the same as my other black light the color
doesn't tell the full story though well here's the thing traditionally
commercial black lights average in the 365 nmet range which apparently is the
best for glow-in-the-dark material charging but that assumes the quality
control is up to Snuff which one do you want next do you want the fire hazard
sure is this the fire hazard it looks like a fire hazard it kind of feels like
a fire hazard well they're individual they don't daisy chain I already found
that drawback these are Amazon special I mean oo they're
bright they charge well they definitely charge it well the fun thing with this
one is leave it going for about 5 minutes and then touch the back I'll
plug it in over here and we'll let it sit and do its thing while we talk about our last lights these look like the
point where we finally went let's just buy the brand name ones they've got what
looks like adequate cooling the build quality is reassuringly premium
including glass fronts instead of just plastic and after that story I read
about that event where they lit it up with black lights and they were the wrong wavelength and people had a bunch
of eye problems these seem like the kind of thing would trust more but I couldn't
help noticing that these are at two different wavelengths so why don't we
start with 395 sure either of these are safe though right yep now this is way
more like what I would expect a black light to look like it's got sort of that
Bluey purpley Hue but this is supposedly
not the ideal no and this the blue comes from being at the bottom of our visible
range okay so the next light actually shows up a lot more white because we're
not seeing most of it I mean this one still pops okay but definitely not as
well as our other stuff what's the 365 look like so it shows up very white
interesting buddy and this one is is 100 watt versus
50 watt right okay so what this tells us
is that either our other lights are not actually outputting the power that they
say they are or they're not outputting at the wavelength that they say they are
because that is what it is supposed to look like and with the power they're
definitely not do you want check on the cheap one sure oh wow okay it's
definitely hot but this thing claims 150
WTS cheap 150 watt better 100 watt I think part of the
problem in this demo might be that it's casting more visible light on the vinyl
which hides the glow from us the good one is definitely still better let's
find out Jake Kill the
Lights the answer is yes so we've got
our nailed down but a pre-flight manual
charge up process with the car it's a little bit ridiculous so my initial plan
for getting the lights pointed at the car was to build a paint inspection
Booth style light array after seeing how fast this charges the Skins seemed kind
of silly so the new plan then is to build a single Archway out of extruded
aluminum right at the exit of the garage that way when I pull out slowly it'll
charge it up we'll do that in a sec first let's take a look at the delivery
of the wrapped car dude it looks sick it
either just looks like unnaturally white
in the dark or it looks
green way beyond my expectations it's
amazing how much it charges from a distance yeah I think we might have
overdone it how many these lights to be byy
11 now I'm thinking you should just Mount them on on the walls in here yeah
where's the instructions this is Ikea right yeah it's in my head but it's very
simple so we've got a bunch of brackets and we've got a bunch of t-nuts oh those
look baller these brackets are going to be what Hold the top to the sides MH and
then we've got a bunch of these small ones
for things like this just going to pull
a bit out of my sack pardon me 11 of
these okay why don't I work on that so they're going to go like that this
should in theory just all bolt together and be happy now we did run into one
issue the bolts that we were intending to use to mount the lights are too long
or rather this materials not thick enough so that when you screw them down
they actually bottom out on the aluminum Extrusion and then the light is all
floppy so we had to 3D print some little washers to fill the Gap and now it's
mint I hate nonf feris
screws technically they are the higher quality ones I know
did you have a plan for how to actually like oh wait I know I
know LTT
store.com we pretty much got the entire frame put together and now we just have
to see is it sturdy oh that's not bad at
all it's not amazing but it's pretty
rigid I mean even if you like bumped into it like it's not going anywhere I'm
going to start cable managing and what better way to do that than the LTT Store
Cable Management stuff which I don't have in my hand although it occurs to me
that this is aluminum which means we're going to have
to mount some of our fancy metal plates to make them stick we're so close while
cable managing our power bars which are using the little uh Keyhole mounts here
we've run into another issue the bottom light is too short to reach the power
bar if it's on the top it fits if it's here yeah but we want to pop I wonder if
I could just open that switch ow yeah I
don't know about this Chief the last piece of this puzzle is automating the
lights we don't want them to have to like turn it on before he leaves cuz
ADHD he won't remember we have two pieces to accomplish this it looks
pretty simple it should be pretty simple but I promise you it's very over
engineered this Philips hbe Smart plug it's a zigby smart plug we can control
it remotely and this is the everything presents one uh kind of like DIY I think
he's a YouTuber that designed this thing it has a passive infrared sensor similar
to security systems in your house along with a millimeter wave sensor which is
what we're going to be using today this in theory can just sit like right here
and as soon as the car crosses this line boom we don't want like anyone walking
through the garage to trigger this thing so I went ahead and set it to 90 CM
which is roughly 3 ft oh it's yo you know you are hello you
are insufferable watch this
and then I'll walk away give me a sec I set the timeouts to
zero so it should be pretty quick boom off and if I go over
here isn't that
crazy so cool all right you can drive the bloody
car in now wow this looks
incredible you guys cable Managed IT and everything well you were listening so
you know the secret well no I walked in earlier and I triggered it so I know the
secret that is freaking awesome cuz I was thinking about it I was like how are
we going to make sure that it's not just on all the time and I don't have to manually press a stupid thing that is
freaking awesome
Bruh
Bruh okay did the theory work does it
charge the whole car as you go through holy crap it totally works it totally
freaking works that is awesome no way
man sometimes you have good ideas all right I know right it was bound to
happen eventually like I have seen the car charged this is
better oh you could do Shadow paintings
on this too do it again do it again do it
again dude except under direct Street
Lamp lighting it flipping glows like
crazy I needed to trigger like a touch earlier cuz it kind of misses the front
end but just do that oh yeah no way
there we go well actually maybe we should have hold
on wait do we have any other the phones are you freaking kidding me right now
look at this steam
deck it looks like it is from a video
game look at me casually gaming with my glowing flipping steam deck there's a
few different versions there's glow circuit which is the black and glow and
then there's ShortCircuit and dark circuit which is the blackon black I
know which one I like you might think it's a little bit silly but imagine if
you just had like a UV light in your room you're like you're in the gameing
zone you flip on your UV light and now your Xbox looks sick oh man I can't get
over the steam deck dude it looks insane
let's talk a little bit about the new circuit board drop this is no Normie
inkjet printed vinyl dbrand had to develop a custom process just for this
drop using special 3D printed UV gel ink
to give it a texture you can really feel
not just that but that actually in my subjective opinion improves the grip of
the device as well while supplies last all orders will include this 365 nmet UV
light so you can charge up your phone whenever you want all you got to do to
get it for yourself is head to dbrand.com 49 really is there another vanity
