WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.220 Dude, guys, you're not gonna freaking believe this. Check this out. 00:00:04.220 --> 00:00:07.700 Ah! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! 00:00:07.700 --> 00:00:11.780 Oh my God! It works so good! 00:00:11.780 --> 00:00:14.980 My car just went from midlife crisis mobile 00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:18.700 to midlife crisis mobile, then freaking glows! 00:00:18.700 --> 00:00:23.380 Today, in partnership with Dbrand, we're announcing the most high tech skin 00:00:23.380 --> 00:00:27.140 they have ever concocted in three different colorways. 00:00:27.140 --> 00:00:32.060 Glow, dark, and ShortCircuit. And we thought, what better way to show off 00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:37.380 how flipping cool it is than to wrap my entire car in glow? 00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:40.380 Feel cool yet? I'm in a Porsche. 00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:45.820 We're gonna show you guys how it works after we show you this message. 00:00:45.820 --> 00:00:57.940 From our sponsor. That was freaking sick! 00:00:57.940 --> 00:01:02.380 I hope. I mean, I'm past blindness and we still have to wrap the car 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. 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, 00:01:12.860 --> 00:01:15.860 and soon to be my car, are glow in the dark, 00:01:15.860 --> 00:01:22.300 or as the fancy boys would call it, phosphorescent, a type of photo luminescence. 00:01:22.300 --> 00:01:27.540 When these kinds of materials are lit up, they can become photo-excited, 00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:32.500 a process in which photons from the light excite electrons in the material 00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:36.900 to a higher energy state, storing the light's energy. 00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:41.900 It's mine. The excited electrons can then either fluoresce 00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:46.340 or drop to a lower, but still excited, intermediate level 00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:49.780 and stay there for some period of time. 00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:53.260 Then, with the help of a bit of thermal energy or heat, 00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:57.460 a relaxation can occur, allowing the electrons to chill out 00:01:57.460 --> 00:02:01.620 and release their extra excitement or energy as photons. 00:02:01.620 --> 00:02:06.220 Otherwise known as light, or in this case, glow. 00:02:07.380 --> 00:02:11.100 So TLDR, you use light to charge glow in the dark stuff. 00:02:11.100 --> 00:02:15.900 Except, if you've ever been a child, you probably remember that when you play around 00:02:15.900 --> 00:02:19.220 with this stuff, the only time the effect really pops 00:02:19.220 --> 00:02:23.580 is when you supercharge it and then immediately go to pitch blackness. 00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:27.060 Something that isn't very likely to happen 00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:29.940 under normal driving conditions. So what can we do? 00:02:30.860 --> 00:02:34.660 The most obvious option would be to just leave my garage lights on all the time. 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. 00:02:39.940 --> 00:02:44.380 Here's the thing that Professor Riley left out. Phosphorescent materials don't react 00:02:44.380 --> 00:02:49.740 to all parts of the light spectrum equally. So if you look at these two flashlights, 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, 00:02:54.220 --> 00:02:57.580 you can see that one is obviously more effective. 00:02:57.580 --> 00:03:01.180 Replace my garage light fixtures with black lights. 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. 00:03:10.580 --> 00:03:14.460 So there's a few examples of Yvonne putting up with a lot. 00:03:14.460 --> 00:03:18.380 So our goal then is to get as much of the right wavelength light 00:03:18.380 --> 00:03:22.940 as close to the car as possible, ideally without spending a fortune. 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 00:03:27.940 --> 00:03:31.740 for science. Tell me about these agricultural lights. 00:03:31.740 --> 00:03:35.740 You mean grow lights? Well, yeah. The days you chain together, they're cheap, 00:03:35.740 --> 00:03:39.980 and they cover a lot of area. Wow, that definitely pops. 00:03:39.980 --> 00:03:43.340 The light color is actually not the same as my other black light. 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 00:03:48.060 --> 00:03:52.700 average in the 365 nanometer range, which apparently is the best 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. 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? 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. 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.980 They don't daisy chain. I already found that drawback. These are Amazon special. 00:04:07.980 --> 00:04:09.700 I mean, ooh, they're bright. 00:04:11.620 --> 00:04:15.420 They charge well. They definitely charge it well. The fun thing with this one 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 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. 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. 00:04:25.780 --> 00:04:30.720 They've got what looks like adequate cooling. The build quality is reassuringly premium, 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.060 including glass fronts instead of just plastic. 00:04:34.060 --> 00:04:37.300 And after that story I read about that event 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, 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 00:04:44.900 --> 00:04:49.260 that these are at two different wavelengths. So why don't we start with 395? 00:04:50.060 --> 00:04:54.020 Either of these are safe though, right? Now this is way more like 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, 00:04:58.660 --> 00:05:03.460 but this is supposedly not the ideal. No, and the blue comes from being 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 00:05:09.260 --> 00:05:12.980 because we're not seeing most of it. I mean, this one still pops okay, 00:05:12.980 --> 00:05:17.380 but definitely not as well as our other stuff. What's the 365 look like? 00:05:17.380 --> 00:05:22.060 So it shows up very white. Interesting, buddy. 00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:25.260 And this one, it is 100 watt versus 50 watt. 00:05:25.260 --> 00:05:30.300 Right. Okay. So what this tells us is that either our other lights 00:05:30.300 --> 00:05:33.500 are not actually outputting the power that they say they are 00:05:33.500 --> 00:05:37.260 or they're not outputting at the wavelength that they say they are 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. 00:05:41.900 --> 00:05:44.940 Do you want to check on the cheap one? Sure. Oh, wow. 00:05:44.940 --> 00:05:50.100 Okay. It's definitely hot, but this thing claims 150 watts. 00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:54.100 Cheap 150 watt. Ha ha, better 100 watt. 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 00:05:58.820 --> 00:06:02.900 which hides the glow from us. The good one is definitely still better. 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. 00:06:08.900 --> 00:06:12.820 The answer is yes. So we've got our lights nailed down, 00:06:12.820 --> 00:06:17.300 but a preflight manual charge up process 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 00:06:22.700 --> 00:06:26.740 at the car was to build up paint inspection booth style light array. 00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:30.500 After seeing how fast this charges the skins, 00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:34.540 seemed kind of silly. So the new plan then is to build a single archway 00:06:34.540 --> 00:06:38.100 out of extruded aluminum right at the exit of the garage. 00:06:38.100 --> 00:06:43.100 That way, when I pull out slowly, it'll charge it up. 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. 00:06:48.380 --> 00:06:56.100 Dude, it looks sick. It either just looks like unnaturally white in the dark, 00:06:56.380 --> 00:07:01.180 or it looks green way beyond my expectations. 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. 00:07:05.900 --> 00:07:08.100 How many of these lights did we buy? 11. 00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:13.620 Now I'm thinking you should just mount them on the walls in here. 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. 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. 00:07:22.460 --> 00:07:26.780 These brackets are gonna be what hold the top to the sides. 00:07:26.780 --> 00:07:32.140 And then we've got a bunch of these small ones for things like this. 00:07:33.140 --> 00:07:37.260 I'm just gonna pull a bit out of my sack. Pardon me? 11 of these? 00:07:37.260 --> 00:07:40.700 Okay, why don't I work on that? So they're gonna go like that. 00:07:40.700 --> 00:07:43.820 This should in theory just all bolt together and be happy. 00:07:43.820 --> 00:07:46.820 Now we did run into one issue. The bolts that we were intending to use 00:07:46.820 --> 00:07:51.220 to mount the lights are too long, or rather this material is not thick enough 00:07:51.220 --> 00:07:55.540 so that when you screw them down, they actually bottom out on the aluminum extrusion, 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. 00:08:00.500 --> 00:08:06.200 And now, it's meant. I hate non-ferrous screws. 00:08:08.180 --> 00:08:11.500 Technically, they are the higher quality ones. 00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:14.940 I know. Did you have a plan for it actually? 00:08:14.940 --> 00:08:17.660 Oh, wait. I know. I know. 00:08:20.540 --> 00:08:25.740 lttstore.com We pretty much got the entire frame put together, 00:08:25.740 --> 00:08:29.260 and now we just have to see, is it sturdy? 00:08:29.260 --> 00:08:34.260 Oh, that's not bad at all. It's not amazing, but it's pretty rigid. 00:08:34.260 --> 00:08:39.100 I mean, even if you like bumped into it, ugh, like it's not going anywhere. 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, 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, 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. 00:08:52.100 --> 00:08:55.460 We're so close. While cable managing our power bars, 00:08:55.460 --> 00:08:58.660 which are using the little keyhole mounts here, 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 00:09:04.060 --> 00:09:07.340 if it's on the top. It fits if it's here. 00:09:07.340 --> 00:09:11.860 But we want a pop. I wonder if I could just open that switch. 00:09:11.860 --> 00:09:15.300 Ow. Yeah, I don't know about this, chief. 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 00:09:19.300 --> 00:09:22.380 before it leaves, because ADHD, he won't remember. 00:09:22.380 --> 00:09:25.700 We have two pieces to accomplish this. It looks pretty simple. 00:09:25.700 --> 00:09:28.820 It should be pretty simple, but I promise you it's very over engineered. 00:09:28.820 --> 00:09:31.940 This Phillips tube smart plug. It's a ZigBee smart plug. 00:09:31.940 --> 00:09:35.820 We can control it remotely. And this is the everything presence one. 00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:38.700 Kind of like DIY, I think he's a YouTuber 00:09:38.940 --> 00:09:42.300 designed this thing. It has a passive infrared sensor 00:09:42.300 --> 00:09:46.140 similar to security systems in your house, along with a millimeter wave sensor, 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. 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 00:09:57.940 --> 00:10:01.940 to trigger this thing. So I went ahead and set it to 90 centimeters, 00:10:01.940 --> 00:10:07.460 which is roughly three feet. Oh, it's like, yo, you know, you are- 00:10:07.460 --> 00:10:10.620 Hello? It's insufferable. Watch this. 00:10:12.220 --> 00:10:15.460 And then I'll walk away. Give it a sec. 00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:19.620 I set the timeouts to zero, so it should be pretty quick. Boom, off. 00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:23.700 And if I go over here, isn't that crazy? 00:10:25.580 --> 00:10:30.140 So cool. All right, you can drive the bloody car in now. 00:10:30.140 --> 00:10:33.500 Wow, this looks incredible. 00:10:33.500 --> 00:10:38.620 You guys cable managed it and everything. Well, you were listening, so you know the secret. 00:10:38.620 --> 00:10:41.620 Well, no, I walked in earlier and I triggered it, so I know the secret. 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 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? 00:10:49.740 --> 00:10:55.020 That is freaking awesome. Bruh, bruh. 00:10:57.300 --> 00:11:01.780 Okay, did the theory work? Does it charge the whole car as you go through? 00:11:01.780 --> 00:11:06.380 Holy crap, it totally works. It totally freaking works. 00:11:06.380 --> 00:11:09.460 That is awesome. No way. 00:11:09.460 --> 00:11:12.940 Man, sometimes you have good ideas. I know, right? 00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:17.380 It was about to happen eventually. Like I have seen the car charged. 00:11:17.380 --> 00:11:22.420 This is better. Oh, you can do shadow paintings on this too. 00:11:22.420 --> 00:11:24.220 Do it again, do it again, do it again. 00:11:25.860 --> 00:11:30.660 Dude, except under direct street lamp lighting, 00:11:30.660 --> 00:11:33.980 it flippin' glows like crazy. 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... 00:11:39.220 --> 00:11:42.300 Oh, yeah. Here we go. 00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:47.460 Well, actually, maybe we should have, hold on. Wait, do we have any of the phones? 00:11:47.460 --> 00:11:51.620 Are you freaking kidding me right now? Look at this steam deck. 00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:56.220 Yum. It looks like it is from a video game. 00:11:56.220 --> 00:12:00.860 Look at me casually gaming with my glowing flipping steam deck. 00:12:00.860 --> 00:12:05.060 There's a few different versions. There's glow circuit, which is the black and glow, 00:12:05.060 --> 00:12:09.540 and then there's ShortCircuit and dark circuit, which is the black on black. 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. 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. 00:12:20.060 --> 00:12:25.140 Oh man, I can't get over the steam deck, dude. It looks insane. 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. 00:12:30.300 --> 00:12:33.940 DRAND had to develop a custom process just for this drop 00:12:33.940 --> 00:12:37.420 using special 3D printed UV gel ink 00:12:37.420 --> 00:12:40.940 to give it a texture you can really feel. 00:12:40.940 --> 00:12:44.420 Not just that, but that actually, in my subjective opinion, 00:12:44.420 --> 00:12:49.620 improves the grip of the device as well. While supplies last, all orders will include 00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:55.860 this 365 nanometer UV light so you can charge up your phone whenever you want. 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. 00:12:59.900 --> 00:13:01.860 Really, is there another vanity URL? 00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:06.900 Yo, that's kind of scary actually. 00:13:06.900 --> 00:13:10.620 If you guys enjoyed this video, maybe check out the one where we wrapped my car 00:13:10.620 --> 00:13:14.260 in the first place with that purple holographic skin. That was super cool too. 00:13:14.260 --> 00:13:16.020 The most glow for the least go.
