Lighting Cigarette with a Laser - Smarter Every Day 37
So, hey, it's me, Destin. Welcome to Smarter Every Day. I do a YouTube show.
- Okay, well, that's so cool.
(Destin) Yeah.
She's like, "What do I have to..."
Hello! [Destin laughs]
(Destin) We're here with Johan's roommate and friend.
- Yeah.
And we're going to... I don't condone smoking, ever. However, Johan's roommate smokes, and we're going to light her cigarette with a high powered laser. Because we... because we can, really. Goggle up.
- The professional's here, so...
(Destin) Are you ready? Everyone have goggles?
- Yeah.
(Destin) Okay, you come to this side. Okay. Yep, hold on, are you powering up? Hold on, let me step over the beam.

(Destin) Okay.
- [Speaks Dutch]
(Johan) [Unintelligible]
(Destin) Yeah.
(Johan) ...High power.
(Johan) [Speaks Dutch]
- Oh.
(Johan) [Speaks Dutch]
- Oh, nice!
(Destin) Yeah. [Conversation in Dutch]
(Destin) Yeah, there you go.
- [Speaks Dutch]
(Destin) There you go.
(Johan) [Speaks Dutch]
(Destin) Smoking is wrong. [Everybody laughs]
(Destin) Did it work?
- Yeah, nice! [Destin and girl laugh]
(Johan) [Mutters in Dutch]
(Destin) Alright. There you have it. That's how a physicist and an engineer light cigarettes that they don't smoke, in the Netherlands. [Girl laughs] Thumbs up, Johan. [Destin laughs]
Let's see.
(Johan) This is where it gets silly. If I rotate the block...
(Destin) Yeah, hold on. It's hard to adjust the focus ring at the same time. Hold the goggles please. There we go.
Holland or the Netherlands?
You can actually use both.
Really?
Yeah. I usually say the Netherlands. It's, uh... it's like, more professional than "we're in Holland!" [Destin laughs]
