BetterHelp was surprisingly chill with laser content, try it out at betterhelp.com/allenpan/ for a 10% discount on your first month!

You've really achieved something when you make styropyro call something cursed and act genuinely afraid of something.
-
Well done allen, you've officially scared styropyro
-
Love that Kevin is credited as "backdoor scientist."

Cool idea here to make this more effective: 1.) Make the square larger, much larger. About the size of a 2x2 canvas. 2.) Weld or attach a hanging hook to two sides of it. Make sure they are opposite. 3.) Change the press and hold button to an "on/off" switch. 4.) Grab some chains, go out on your deck, and center the square in between the railing and the wooden beam directly above it, drill the ends of the chain into both sides, and stretch them taut. Itll hold the square in place and upright. 5.) Get a cheap Lasko fan with an extendable base, a 16 inch or so would be fine, and place it in front of the grid on the deck, as close as you can to the lasers themselves. Face the fan towards you and away from the grid, and turn that sucker on. It'll create a suction vortex that will grab any mosquitoes and other flying pests that wander too close to the grid, and suck them through. Also, you don't need to worry about attracting them. My theory is that the lasers will transfer heat to the metal square, through the mirrors over time. And they will transfer heat to the mirrors themselves. Mosquitos can see thermal energy with their eyes (how they determine if something is alive and has pumping blood), so they will likely see the mirrors and metal being heated up, and fly on in to check it out. You have yourself an automated, laser grid, mosquito zapper.

I'm really glad you got adult supervision for this project
-
When Styropyro says it’s cursed, it’s really cursed
-
The chaos and fails in this project are just perfect. Love seeing your creative engineering work and having fun with it! 👏🔥
-
This is awesome! Love seeing the creative engineering work and what fun!
-
I love how these three creators are slow descending from "Well intentioned backyard inventors" to straight up "Mad scientist villian origin story in the making".

I’ve never had this much fear for a man’s safety since I found an Australian “maker” channel
-
styropyro is genuinely terrifying. I have to make friends with him as soon as I can so that if he ever has a bad day and snaps..I'll be on the good books
-
I just want to hang out with these guys some day. Their energy is contagious
-
When you make Styropyro nervous you're on the right track
-
Allen saying “Dang, that one works way better” was hilarious
-
I love you both! Thanks for the content!
-
if you could build servo mounted mirrors that create a fan pattern pointed away from you, with the laser being guided quickly back and forth within that fan pattern you might be able to get the bugs from an armchair 5 feet away.
-
I love when YouTube scientists team up to scare the crap out or each other
-
Ah, yes! Kevin, the famous "backdoor scientist".
-
Hope you’re doing well! Can’t wait for more content!
