I recently did a shoot with VICE Motherboard...

Back in June a couple guys from VICE Motherboard came over to shoot an interview and play with lasers, chemicals, and electricity.

Stay tuned for more videos! I have several in the works...

[@Motherboard]

Thanks so much, Drake -- truly a pleasure :)

[@BothHands1]

Motherboard y'all introduced me to this crazy kid. He's pretty fun though, binged his vids like hell after that

[@thealtrone1]

Motherboard is shit.

[@GamingExclusive1]

Thanks for the amazing video mother board so happy a found a new channel.

[@luxzartheglorious]

I presonaly really dislike you motherboard but it seems you did good here

[@TheRealFrankWizza]

Bad idea. A lot of people who have dealt with vice cant even make youtube videos anymore. I hope they don't screw your channel as well.

[@almosteducatedmf8352]

[@singlsrvngfrnd]

Just watched the Motherboard episode, and I gotta say watching how excited you get and how passionate you are is very cool and makes me want to learn more. If only I had a teacher like you growing up.

[@ronan182]

found your channel through the Vice video. Keep doing what you're doing man, you clearly have a passion for lasers and to see someone so excited and passionate about something that they love fills me with optimism. never stop!

[@jcorvus3768]

Great to see your passion for the science. I hope you never lose that, and inspire others along the way.

[@FastFixYouTube]

The Vice video was very well done. I would also highly recommend it. In fact, I watched it with my 5 yr old and he was blown away. He then had to see many more of your videos. I was extremely happy he was so interested and amazed with what a person can accomplish using the power of science. I also celebrated the anniversary of the 2017 eclipse. We live in Nebraska and had a front row seat. It was one of the best experiences of my life and I think, my kiddo’s. If the eclipse wasn’t enough, my son and I got one of the photos we took during the event featured in a video Celestron made about the event. Sounds like you have some good memories too. Thanks for all the great videos. Very interesting and well done.

[@atomwaffel]

Be careful with Vice. Don't risk ruining your good name.

[@jahn77]

Alexander Liptak Cause Fox is a great channel

[@jahn77]

Devin Campbell And you must want Roger Ailes

[@twenty-fifth420]

I will be honest, as someone who digests news from tens of outlets, Vice or Motherboard are not the prime targets of fake news. Sure, they make misleading stuff at times, similar to Vox. But I would call them a decent to good media company who falters only occasionally. Also, if you are going to comment about political bias, please look up the Appeal to Bias fallacy before you do. I like some ‘liberal’ and some ‘conservative’ outlets, and I try to avoid that when it comes to what is considered news and entertainment.

[@JackReacheround]

Devin Campbell Stop it. this is a video about lasers and you're making it political. Fuck, no wonder America is so divided.

[@Brown614]

Jah N I mean fox isn't great but CNN CBS ABC all those are just as bad. Especially CNN.

[@milinko32]

[@sorryiwin1929]

I saw it earlier it was a really cool interview that showed everything you do in a great way

[@jonlee2553]

Vice? Oh man. I just discovered your channel, and think you're an awesome guy, but watch yourself. Vice is shady and biased.

[@edg6779]

haha, every second vice video is "how to roll a joint" or similar

[@cicianamumu]

Of course they didn't try to paint his name in any bad way, he is not controversial !

[@jonlee2553]

komori Sup dude. I do enjoy their war reporting, at least a few years ago, when I first discovered Vice. I really started to dislike them after their Anarchist Cookbook video. The very amateur way in which it was presented made me seriously doubt their ability to A: do anything competent. B: Have any sort of quality control on what they produce. They've come out with a few quality pieces since then, such as the Motherboard article on ISILs death threats to random Americans, as featured on SITE, but I wouldn't trust them to be my "first click of the day" news source as I sip my morning coffee and smoke my cigarette.

[@Ducksauce33]

@komoOoT "Somewhat liberal" Is that what they call far left extremist these days.

[@shoobopper]

I watched the docu last week. It was great. ;) I especially liked that they helped put your points across about the "right to repair" / "right to build cool gadgets that are not made with the intention to harm". (and I mean that genuinely. There were some very important points made, and it was a fun watch.) P.S. - XJ laser projectors FTW. :p

[@oicfas4523]

Oh wow, Shawnee National Forest. Maybe you live in my neck of the woods, Chicago. It seems I subscribed to your channel long ago, but KZbin never really recommended any of your videos since. I just rediscovered your channel and am so glad I did.

Fantastic VICE video and a great interview! You make a great spokesman for lasers and science!

[@thepalestripper]

I loved it. It was like a little behind the scenes look of what you’re all about and the real reason you make cool science videos. I saw it on my home screen the other day and I was wondering if it was you, but I got distracted and didn’t get to watching it until today. Cool though. Can’t wait to see your next project! I think you should make videos going in depth about some of the science because I don’t understand your maths, but I want to.

I have no clue if you will see this comment but I recently came across a youtube video of a vintage advertisement that was showcasing a toy lazer called the Plazer Ray. If you can get your hands on one to see the technology that is within it and perhaps Jerry rig it to make it actually as depicted in the commercial that would be so legendary and awesome. Thanks Styropyro.

[@userPrehistoricman]

Great to see you've giving Vice Motherboard some exposure here. Did they sponsor this shoutout?

[@delatorrecaleb]

Do you think there is a laser that can accelerate a particle, say an apple particle, to the point of transferring it in terms of “pushing” it? I’m thinking photons at the CERN particle collider kinda mirrored to the sky. (Beaming a persons particles) would that be a laser?

[@laharl2k]

Hey Drake, 3rd world problem question here. Im trying to get a led laser from aliexpress but customs here is.....all but reliable and even doingeverything by the letter doesnt assure you get your package. Where do you get your lasers from? What kind of equipment could a somewhat powerful laser be scraped from? (~2W) Its not a money problem but i just cant get the things to arrive and a CO2 laser is just to big and expensive for the proyect. Any idea?

[@Pascal666...]

I habe have a question. How far can you focus a Laser Beam. And how does it respond to the power at the focus Point.

[@luderickwong]

Good morning gentleman, may i ask a question? I have seen those lazer cleaning footage on youtube, it looks like magic, i wonder if it is real or fate. With all those powerful lazers you have, can you try that as a experiment? At least i think it is a good idea, traditional method to clean an engine block involve toxic chemical and really really messy to the environment. If a lazer device is really capable of cleaning without mess up, it will be obviously a good application of using lazer in our daily live. Just check out your video release 2 days ago, thanks for the test and explaination.

If possible could you make another alchemy(chemistry) video or something that involves physical science or quantum mechanics (those are my fav sciences)

[@HavenNemiroff]

I watched the vice video and I can't agree with you more, I'm getting my degree in nuclear physics/chemistry and it's certainly those tiny sparks that engender a true curiosity for science and also makes you ravenous for knowledge and what you can do with it, what novel discoveries you might find and how to use them to help others. I'm certain that you, Cody'sLab. NurdRage and all the other science youtubers have given that spark to countless kids who never knew they could be so passionate about science and how much fun it really is.
