00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,220
Dude, guys, you're not gonna freaking believe this. Check this out.

2
00:00:04,220 --> 00:00:07,700
Ah! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

3
00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:11,780
Oh my God! It works so good!

4
00:00:11,780 --> 00:00:14,980
My car just went from midlife crisis mobile

5
00:00:14,980 --> 00:00:18,700
to midlife crisis mobile, then freaking glows!

6
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:23,380
Today, in partnership with Dbrand, we're announcing the most high tech skin

7
00:00:23,380 --> 00:00:27,140
they have ever concocted in three different colorways.

8
00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:32,060
Glow, dark, and ShortCircuit. And we thought, what better way to show off

9
00:00:32,060 --> 00:00:37,380
how flipping cool it is than to wrap my entire car in glow?

10
00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:40,380
Feel cool yet? I'm in a Porsche.

11
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:45,820
We're gonna show you guys how it works after we show you this message.

12
00:00:45,820 --> 00:00:57,940
From our sponsor. That was freaking sick!

13
00:00:57,940 --> 00:01:02,380
I hope. I mean, I'm past blindness and we still have to wrap the car

14
00:01:02,380 --> 00:01:07,820
and we still have to make it glow. Fortunately, we have pros to wrap the car, at least.

15
00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:12,860
Leaving us with the glow. Now, as you might have already guessed, the new glow circuit skins,

16
00:01:12,860 --> 00:01:15,860
and soon to be my car, are glow in the dark,

17
00:01:15,860 --> 00:01:22,300
or as the fancy boys would call it, phosphorescent, a type of photo luminescence.

18
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:27,540
When these kinds of materials are lit up, they can become photo-excited,

19
00:01:27,540 --> 00:01:32,500
a process in which photons from the light excite electrons in the material

20
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:36,900
to a higher energy state, storing the light's energy.

21
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:41,900
It's mine. The excited electrons can then either fluoresce

22
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:46,340
or drop to a lower, but still excited, intermediate level

23
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:49,780
and stay there for some period of time.

24
00:01:49,780 --> 00:01:53,260
Then, with the help of a bit of thermal energy or heat,

25
00:01:53,260 --> 00:01:57,460
a relaxation can occur, allowing the electrons to chill out

26
00:01:57,460 --> 00:02:01,620
and release their extra excitement or energy as photons.

27
00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:06,220
Otherwise known as light, or in this case, glow.

28
00:02:07,380 --> 00:02:11,100
So TLDR, you use light to charge glow in the dark stuff.

29
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:15,900
Except, if you've ever been a child, you probably remember that when you play around

30
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:19,220
with this stuff, the only time the effect really pops

31
00:02:19,220 --> 00:02:23,580
is when you supercharge it and then immediately go to pitch blackness.

32
00:02:23,580 --> 00:02:27,060
Something that isn't very likely to happen

33
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:29,940
under normal driving conditions. So what can we do?

34
00:02:30,860 --> 00:02:34,660
The most obvious option would be to just leave my garage lights on all the time.

35
00:02:34,660 --> 00:02:39,940
That way, anytime I wanted to go out for a night drive, my car would be fully charged and ready to go.

36
00:02:39,940 --> 00:02:44,380
Here's the thing that Professor Riley left out. Phosphorescent materials don't react

37
00:02:44,380 --> 00:02:49,740
to all parts of the light spectrum equally. So if you look at these two flashlights,

38
00:02:49,740 --> 00:02:54,220
one of them is going to appear brighter. When I point both of them at my glow material,

39
00:02:54,220 --> 00:02:57,580
you can see that one is obviously more effective.

40
00:02:57,580 --> 00:03:01,180
Replace my garage light fixtures with black lights.

41
00:03:01,180 --> 00:03:05,740
I'm kidding, honey. Don't kill me. My wife lets me get away with a lot, but that isn't gonna be it.

42
00:03:10,580 --> 00:03:14,460
So there's a few examples of Yvonne putting up with a lot.

43
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:18,380
So our goal then is to get as much of the right wavelength light

44
00:03:18,380 --> 00:03:22,940
as close to the car as possible, ideally without spending a fortune.

45
00:03:22,940 --> 00:03:27,940
So I did what any sane YouTuber would do and bought a whole bunch of different black lights

46
00:03:27,940 --> 00:03:31,740
for science. Tell me about these agricultural lights.

47
00:03:31,740 --> 00:03:35,740
You mean grow lights? Well, yeah. The days you chain together, they're cheap,

48
00:03:35,740 --> 00:03:39,980
and they cover a lot of area. Wow, that definitely pops.

49
00:03:39,980 --> 00:03:43,340
The light color is actually not the same as my other black light.

50
00:03:43,340 --> 00:03:48,060
The color doesn't tell the full story, though. Well, here's the thing. Traditionally, commercial black lights

51
00:03:48,060 --> 00:03:52,700
average in the 365 nanometer range, which apparently is the best

52
00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:56,740
for glow-in-the-dark material charging, but... That assumes the quality of control is up to snap.

53
00:03:56,740 --> 00:04:00,180
Which one do you want next? Do you want the fire hazard? Sure. Is this the fire hazard?

54
00:04:00,180 --> 00:04:03,840
It looks like a fire hazard. It kind of feels like a fire hazard. Well, they're individual.

55
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,980
They don't daisy chain. I already found that drawback. These are Amazon special.

56
00:04:07,980 --> 00:04:09,700
I mean, ooh, they're bright.

57
00:04:11,620 --> 00:04:15,420
They charge well. They definitely charge it well. The fun thing with this one

58
00:04:15,420 --> 00:04:18,940
is leave it going for about five minutes and then touch the back. I'll plug it in over here

59
00:04:18,940 --> 00:04:21,940
and we'll let it sit and do its thing. Well, we talk about our last lights.

60
00:04:21,940 --> 00:04:25,780
These look like the point where we finally went, let's just buy the brand-name ones.

61
00:04:25,780 --> 00:04:30,720
They've got what looks like adequate cooling. The build quality is reassuringly premium,

62
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,060
including glass fronts instead of just plastic.

63
00:04:34,060 --> 00:04:37,300
And after that story I read about that event

64
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:41,140
where they lit it up with black lights and they were the wrong wavelength and people had a bunch of eye problems,

65
00:04:41,140 --> 00:04:44,900
these seem like the kind of thing I would trust more. But I couldn't help noticing

66
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:49,260
that these are at two different wavelengths. So why don't we start with 395?

67
00:04:50,060 --> 00:04:54,020
Either of these are safe though, right? Now this is way more like

68
00:04:54,020 --> 00:04:58,660
what I would expect a black light to look like. It's got sort of that bluey, purpley hue,

69
00:04:58,660 --> 00:05:03,460
but this is supposedly not the ideal. No, and the blue comes from being

70
00:05:03,460 --> 00:05:09,260
at the bottom of our visible range. Okay. So the next light actually shows up a lot more white

71
00:05:09,260 --> 00:05:12,980
because we're not seeing most of it. I mean, this one still pops okay,

72
00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:17,380
but definitely not as well as our other stuff. What's the 365 look like?

73
00:05:17,380 --> 00:05:22,060
So it shows up very white. Interesting, buddy.

74
00:05:22,060 --> 00:05:25,260
And this one, it is 100 watt versus 50 watt.

75
00:05:25,260 --> 00:05:30,300
Right. Okay. So what this tells us is that either our other lights

76
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:33,500
are not actually outputting the power that they say they are

77
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:37,260
or they're not outputting at the wavelength that they say they are

78
00:05:37,260 --> 00:05:41,900
because that is what it is supposed to look like. And with the power, they're definitely not.

79
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:44,940
Do you want to check on the cheap one? Sure. Oh, wow.

80
00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:50,100
Okay. It's definitely hot, but this thing claims 150 watts.

81
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:54,100
Cheap 150 watt. Ha ha, better 100 watt.

82
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:58,820
I think part of the problem in this demo might be that it's casting more visible light on the vinyl

83
00:05:58,820 --> 00:06:02,900
which hides the glow from us. The good one is definitely still better.

84
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:08,900
Let's find out. Jake, kill the lights. Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.

85
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:12,820
The answer is yes. So we've got our lights nailed down,

86
00:06:12,820 --> 00:06:17,300
but a preflight manual charge up process

87
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:22,700
with the car, it's a little bit ridiculous. So my initial plan for getting the lights pointed

88
00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:26,740
at the car was to build up paint inspection booth style light array.

89
00:06:26,740 --> 00:06:30,500
After seeing how fast this charges the skins,

90
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:34,540
seemed kind of silly. So the new plan then is to build a single archway

91
00:06:34,540 --> 00:06:38,100
out of extruded aluminum right at the exit of the garage.

92
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:43,100
That way, when I pull out slowly, it'll charge it up.

93
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:48,380
We'll do that in a sec. First, let's take a look at the delivery of the wrapped car.

94
00:06:48,380 --> 00:06:56,100
Dude, it looks sick. It either just looks like unnaturally white in the dark,

95
00:06:56,380 --> 00:07:01,180
or it looks green way beyond my expectations.

96
00:07:01,180 --> 00:07:05,900
It's amazing how much it charges from a distance. Yeah, I think we might've overdone it.

97
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:08,100
How many of these lights did we buy? 11.

98
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:13,620
Now I'm thinking you should just mount them on the walls in here.

99
00:07:13,620 --> 00:07:18,060
Yeah, where's the instructions? This is IKEA, right? Yeah, it's in my head, but it's very simple.

100
00:07:18,060 --> 00:07:22,460
So we've got a bunch of brackets, and we've got a bunch of t-nuts. Oh, those look baller.

101
00:07:22,460 --> 00:07:26,780
These brackets are gonna be what hold the top to the sides.

102
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:32,140
And then we've got a bunch of these small ones for things like this.

103
00:07:33,140 --> 00:07:37,260
I'm just gonna pull a bit out of my sack. Pardon me? 11 of these?

104
00:07:37,260 --> 00:07:40,700
Okay, why don't I work on that? So they're gonna go like that.

105
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:43,820
This should in theory just all bolt together and be happy.

106
00:07:43,820 --> 00:07:46,820
Now we did run into one issue. The bolts that we were intending to use

107
00:07:46,820 --> 00:07:51,220
to mount the lights are too long, or rather this material is not thick enough

108
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:55,540
so that when you screw them down, they actually bottom out on the aluminum extrusion,

109
00:07:55,540 --> 00:08:00,500
and then the light is all floppy. So we had to 3D print some little washers to fill the gap.

110
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:06,200
And now, it's meant. I hate non-ferrous screws.

111
00:08:08,180 --> 00:08:11,500
Technically, they are the higher quality ones.

112
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:14,940
I know. Did you have a plan for it actually?

113
00:08:14,940 --> 00:08:17,660
Oh, wait. I know. I know.

114
00:08:20,540 --> 00:08:25,740
lttstore.com We pretty much got the entire frame put together,

115
00:08:25,740 --> 00:08:29,260
and now we just have to see, is it sturdy?

116
00:08:29,260 --> 00:08:34,260
Oh, that's not bad at all. It's not amazing, but it's pretty rigid.

117
00:08:34,260 --> 00:08:39,100
I mean, even if you like bumped into it, ugh, like it's not going anywhere.

118
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:43,500
I'm gonna start cable managing, and what better way to do that than the lttstore cable management stuff,

119
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:47,260
which I don't have in my hand. Although it occurs to me that this is aluminum,

120
00:08:48,260 --> 00:08:52,100
which means we're gonna have to mount some of our fancy metal plates to make them stick.

121
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:55,460
We're so close. While cable managing our power bars,

122
00:08:55,460 --> 00:08:58,660
which are using the little keyhole mounts here,

123
00:08:58,660 --> 00:09:04,060
we've run into another issue. The bottom light is too short to reach the power bar

124
00:09:04,060 --> 00:09:07,340
if it's on the top. It fits if it's here.

125
00:09:07,340 --> 00:09:11,860
But we want a pop. I wonder if I could just open that switch.

126
00:09:11,860 --> 00:09:15,300
Ow. Yeah, I don't know about this, chief.

127
00:09:15,300 --> 00:09:19,300
The last piece of this puzzle is automating the lights. We don't want them to have to like turn it on

128
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:22,380
before it leaves, because ADHD, he won't remember.

129
00:09:22,380 --> 00:09:25,700
We have two pieces to accomplish this. It looks pretty simple.

130
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:28,820
It should be pretty simple, but I promise you it's very over engineered.

131
00:09:28,820 --> 00:09:31,940
This Phillips tube smart plug. It's a ZigBee smart plug.

132
00:09:31,940 --> 00:09:35,820
We can control it remotely. And this is the everything presence one.

133
00:09:35,820 --> 00:09:38,700
Kind of like DIY, I think he's a YouTuber

134
00:09:38,940 --> 00:09:42,300
designed this thing. It has a passive infrared sensor

135
00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:46,140
similar to security systems in your house, along with a millimeter wave sensor,

136
00:09:46,140 --> 00:09:52,940
which is what we're going to be using today. This, in theory, can just sit like right here.

137
00:09:52,940 --> 00:09:57,940
And as soon as the car crosses this line, boom. We don't want like anyone walking through the garage

138
00:09:57,940 --> 00:10:01,940
to trigger this thing. So I went ahead and set it to 90 centimeters,

139
00:10:01,940 --> 00:10:07,460
which is roughly three feet. Oh, it's like, yo, you know, you are-

140
00:10:07,460 --> 00:10:10,620
Hello? It's insufferable. Watch this.

141
00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:15,460
And then I'll walk away. Give it a sec.

142
00:10:15,460 --> 00:10:19,620
I set the timeouts to zero, so it should be pretty quick. Boom, off.

143
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:23,700
And if I go over here, isn't that crazy?

144
00:10:25,580 --> 00:10:30,140
So cool. All right, you can drive the bloody car in now.

145
00:10:30,140 --> 00:10:33,500
Wow, this looks incredible.

146
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:38,620
You guys cable managed it and everything. Well, you were listening, so you know the secret.

147
00:10:38,620 --> 00:10:41,620
Well, no, I walked in earlier and I triggered it, so I know the secret.

148
00:10:41,620 --> 00:10:46,020
That is freaking awesome, because I was thinking about it. I was like, how are we going to make sure

149
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:49,740
that it's not just on all the time and I don't have to manually press a stupid thing?

150
00:10:49,740 --> 00:10:55,020
That is freaking awesome. Bruh, bruh.

151
00:10:57,300 --> 00:11:01,780
Okay, did the theory work? Does it charge the whole car as you go through?

152
00:11:01,780 --> 00:11:06,380
Holy crap, it totally works. It totally freaking works.

153
00:11:06,380 --> 00:11:09,460
That is awesome. No way.

154
00:11:09,460 --> 00:11:12,940
Man, sometimes you have good ideas. I know, right?

155
00:11:12,940 --> 00:11:17,380
It was about to happen eventually. Like I have seen the car charged.

156
00:11:17,380 --> 00:11:22,420
This is better. Oh, you can do shadow paintings on this too.

157
00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:24,220
Do it again, do it again, do it again.

158
00:11:25,860 --> 00:11:30,660
Dude, except under direct street lamp lighting,

159
00:11:30,660 --> 00:11:33,980
it flippin' glows like crazy.

160
00:11:34,820 --> 00:11:39,220
I needed to trigger like a touch earlier because it kind of misses the front end, but...

161
00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:42,300
Oh, yeah. Here we go.

162
00:11:44,220 --> 00:11:47,460
Well, actually, maybe we should have, hold on. Wait, do we have any of the phones?

163
00:11:47,460 --> 00:11:51,620
Are you freaking kidding me right now? Look at this steam deck.

164
00:11:51,620 --> 00:11:56,220
Yum. It looks like it is from a video game.

165
00:11:56,220 --> 00:12:00,860
Look at me casually gaming with my glowing flipping steam deck.

166
00:12:00,860 --> 00:12:05,060
There's a few different versions. There's glow circuit, which is the black and glow,

167
00:12:05,060 --> 00:12:09,540
and then there's ShortCircuit and dark circuit, which is the black on black.

168
00:12:09,540 --> 00:12:15,060
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.

169
00:12:15,060 --> 00:12:20,060
You're like you're in the gaming zone, you flip on your UV light and now your Xbox looks sick.

170
00:12:20,060 --> 00:12:25,140
Oh man, I can't get over the steam deck, dude. It looks insane.

171
00:12:25,140 --> 00:12:30,300
Let's talk a little bit about the new circuit board drop. This is no normie inkjet printed vinyl.

172
00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:33,940
DRAND had to develop a custom process just for this drop

173
00:12:33,940 --> 00:12:37,420
using special 3D printed UV gel ink

174
00:12:37,420 --> 00:12:40,940
to give it a texture you can really feel.

175
00:12:40,940 --> 00:12:44,420
Not just that, but that actually, in my subjective opinion,

176
00:12:44,420 --> 00:12:49,620
improves the grip of the device as well. While supplies last, all orders will include

177
00:12:49,620 --> 00:12:55,860
this 365 nanometer UV light so you can charge up your phone whenever you want.

178
00:12:55,860 --> 00:12:59,900
All you gotta do to get it for yourself is head to dbrand.com slash four foot nine.

179
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:01,860
Really, is there another vanity URL?

180
00:13:03,620 --> 00:13:06,900
Yo, that's kind of scary actually.

181
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:10,620
If you guys enjoyed this video, maybe check out the one where we wrapped my car

182
00:13:10,620 --> 00:13:14,260
in the first place with that purple holographic skin. That was super cool too.

183
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:16,020
The most glow for the least go.
