Shadowing Practice: I Tested Secret Technology - Learn English Speaking with Video

I somehow got my hands on secret technology that they don't want you to have, be it governments or corporations, and I'm talking crazy things ranging from bird drones all the way to literal vomit guns

that induce nausea just from listening to a certain sound.

All the tech you're about to see is very cool, but if you do get your hands on it, proceed with caution.

So with that being said, we have a lot to do, so grab your popcorn and let's do this.

In this box right here, I have a technology called the Tesla coil, which is basically this high voltage, high frequency transformer that was created by Nikola Tesla in the 1890s.

which means that it can quite literally shut down any electronics that it goes in front of.

I have no idea how these things are legal.

They seem pretty powerful.

And at its most extreme form, this is how the government apparently shuts down power grids across the entire world.

So if there's ever been a massive outage or something where there's like, oh, airplanes can't fly and the grid is shut down, it's likely because there's some form of electromagnetic interference happening.

And this is the device that does it.

This should be crazy.

And it already looks kind of crazy.

This looks fake.

Like, look at this.

How is this legal to possess?

It looks like a ray gun.

handheld Tesla coil.

Oh, and it turns on pretty quickly.

Okay.

I do not want to get myself into any trouble with this.

And here is the coil in question that I'm going to basically attach to it.

And then I think when I put this together, I can shoot it at some things and some crazy stuff happens.

How do I turn this off?

I really would like this off because I don't want to get like shocked or anything.

All right.

So here it is.

This is the finished device.

This is what it looks like.

Again, it looks like some futuristic gun because I guess that's what it is.

Okay.

And you'll see like a bunch of numbers.

I don't know what that means.

I don't know what any of this means.

I am gonna try and shoot it once.

I don't know where I should do this.

This feels incredibly unsafe.

I don't think it's a smart move, but I'm going to do it nonetheless.

Let me just make sure I got no electronics that I want broken nearby.

Let's just do a little shoot.

What does it shoot?

Oh my gosh look at this!

Wait I don't want to like break my webcam.

Let me find some goggles.

Okay literally look at this.

Do you see that lightning?

That is a real thing that's happening here.

This creates actual like...

electric.

Wait let me shut the lights off it might be cooler.

Okay here's a darker lighting.

Whoa, and you hear that?

Okay, so now I'm gonna try this on something.

Alright, so apparently the two coolest things to try it on is an unplugged light bulb and then some aluminum.

So that's what I'll be doing here.

Now safety first.

Make sure you have your protection on.

I'm going to turn the lights off, and I'm going to see whether or not I can light this light bulb just from shocking it.

Okay, here we go.

Do you see that?

I don't want to break it.

That feels crazy.

How is this?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

What is happening?

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

I'm not even kidding.

So that just worked.

When I clicked this, for some reason, the Amazon...

Wait, wait, wait, watch.

This is crazy.

Hold on.

Let me start screen sharing this.

Okay, so this is the screen that is currently up on Amazon.

This was just up, okay?

Now look at this.

I'm going to do what I was just doing.

I swear this is what's happening.

It was happening before to do this enough to see if it works.

The screen was changing, I swear.

Okay, and now it's time for the aluminum foil to see what happens with this.

Oh, that's kind of cool.

This might be the coolest thing that I've ever purchased.

I want to do it again because I realized my mouse wasn't in frame, but I'm gonna click this.

Now watch, watch the screen.

Look at it!

Insanity.

So I can definitely see why the Tesla coil gun is kept secret under wraps by the government.

It could definitely get intense.

And in my hand, I just have a small microcosm of that.

I love this thing.

It's pretty crazy.

I definitely wouldn't recommend getting your hands on this just

because it probably could be a safety issue

if you start like zapping people left and right like I just did to you right there.

Sorry about that.

100

But very cool technology and I'm glad that I am now a possessor of this Tesla coil.

101

I'm excited to see what else we have.

102

Seeker technology is an AI powered drone that's apparently noiseless

103

and I spent way too much money on this

104

but this is what people use it's called the Hover Air X1 nowadays people obviously have drones everywhere

105

so this isn't crazy

106

that drones exist I think the cat was out of the bag like 20 years ago on drones

107

but this one in particular I am told is pretty crazy also I'm doing this

108

because I remember you guys didn't like the fact

109

that I didn't know how to operate a drone unlike this team video I did

110

so I'm basically righting my wrongs now to show you that I do know

111

Are you telling me this thing is supposed to deliver my Amazon package?

112

Okay, it looks like a cooling fan.

113

I don't understand how this is a drone.

114

Okay, now I see it.

115

So this is what it looks like and it is equipped with cameras, everything, the whole nine yards.

116

Do I just turn it on?

117

How easy is this to just get going?

118

Wow, this has a lot of cameras on it.

119

Alright, so leave it to me to figure this out and then we're gonna go ahead and play with this.

120

I'll go outside and you'll see kind of the different capabilities that this little thing for multiple, multiple hundreds of dollars is able to do and why they don't want your hands on it.

121

Alright, so our drone is about to take a flight and

122

so I'm just setting it up and doing the tutorial whoa okay

123

so it should be smart enough to know to come back to me

124

and wow so I didn't even do anything

125

that just came back to me kind of blew my mind okay this is a cool drone

126

and now it's gonna be recording as well

127

so now what this is gonna do it's going to track me

128

so I think I have to walk around it

129

and it's just gonna track me all right so let's see

130

if it follows me oh oh I don't love

131

that why is he I'm not doing anything he's just following me okay

132

so now he's officially mapped to me so now this thing is going to just Oh.

133

Wow, you can't escape him.

134

Okay.

135

And I think like he'll just return to me if I do this.

136

Wow.

137

Okay, that's pretty cool.

138

Alright, so now it's gonna go directly above me.

139

I think that's what it said.

140

So he's 16 feet up right now.

141

And now wherever I go, he's going to follow me.

142

I think. Or maybe not.

143

Okay, I think he lost sight of me.

144

I need him to follow me better.

145

What kind of AI government drone are you?

146

All right, let me bring him down.

147

All right, I don't believe he's gonna follow me.

148

'Cause I haven't seen him move this way yet.

149

Oh no. Wow, this is kinda crazy.

150

Can I go like under him?

151

Let's see if he could detect that.

152

All right, I feel bad.

153

He's wondering where his father is.

154

Let me go back.

155

Let me show him that I'm still here.

156

I'm sorry, that was rude.

157

I'm sorry.

158

Can you see me now?

159

We good?

160

There he is.

161

He's relentless.

162

He comes back.

163

So I guess like this is good if you're going on a run

164

or something and you just want like a camera for whatever reason to follow you.

165

How fast does this go?

166

Wow, that's fast.

167

All right, you're good.

168

This is pretty cool.

169

I could see why they don't want too many people wanting this because there's some powerful tech right here.

170

Love the government drone.

171

Glad I got my hands on it.

172

This thing is a 10 out of 10.

173

Really good secret tech.

174

Now there have been a lot of conspiracy theories around birds, most notably calling them surveillance drones.

175

So if you see like a pigeon on the street, it's likely spying on somebody apparently.

176

So it could be a government, it could be an individual, whatever.

177

And while I couldn't get my hands on an official pigeon surveillance drone because one, I don't think it's available to the public and two, I'm not sure that it's officially unclassified.

178

I think it's stuff that the government still does in secrecy.

179

that actually looks like a bird, feels like a bird, but isn't a bird.

180

So this thing will literally fly around and everything.

181

And you're able to essentially spy on people.

182

If you want to attach a couple of cameras, a microphone, do what you want with it.

183

It even says flies like a real one.

184

So they literally sell this bird.

185

I mean, it's a little bit flashy.

186

So I don't think people are gonna be super, super fooled by this, but just know how easy it is to spy on people by just using this.

187

And they also have insects as well.

188

So I've seen mosquito ones.

189

I've seen bird ones.

190

I think there's even like surveillance cats.

191

They could just like use a remote control and get them along.

192

But let's check this out.

193

Alright, so there we have it.

194

Does it look like an actual bird?

195

These are the questions I'm looking to answer here.

196

You know what, it kind of does, 'cause it's pretty lean, I thought this would be bigger.

197

So the bird is officially on, and as you can see, it's the underbelly that's lit up, so I don't think you can really detect it, because if you're looking at a bird from the top or the side, it kinda gets obscured.

198

So, so far, I kinda like how this was created.

199

But it looks very real, so I'm gonna go ahead and put some batteries in this remote and get to flying.

200

Oh, what?

201

Relax, oh my god, he's going so fast.

202

Okay, I'm gonna let you fly.

203

go.

204

Oh my god, I gotta do this outside.

205

All right, so I'm gonna go ahead and fly this outside now.

206

So I'm in an open park.

207

This is probably where you'll likely see this.

208

If you ever feel like there's a bird spying on you, this is it right here.

209

So let's turn this on again.

210

Ooh, this is the flutter mode.

211

Now I'm gonna let 'em fly.

212

Feels like a bird dying.

213

Hold on, let me take him out of his misery, start this again.

214

Alright, second attempt.

215

Oh, he's flying.

216

Wow.

217

He kind of looks like a real bird.

218

Wow.

219

How far does he go?

220

I let me try to retrieve him to me.

221

Have a nice soft landing.

222

All right.

223

Nevermind.

224

I think you do like tricks too.

225

Wow It just looks like a cardinal or something like a red bird.

226

Maybe a little blue some blue jay in there I'm surprised how realistic that does.

227

Oh watch out All right, let me call back my Pokemon now.

228

Okay.

229

There he is.

230

He fell.

231

I want him to interact with a real bird

232

So I'm gonna try to get close to an actual bird

233

and then I'll throw this and I'll see if like they think he's real himself is a bird.

234

Oh, there's a butterfly.

235

Go side of your butt.

236

That is not how you act like a real bird.

237

'Cause butterflies are afraid of birds.

238

So this butterfly should run away, which it's doing right now.

239

Hold on.

240

I think I'm gonna put him a bit higher into the sky.

241

Wow, what a beautiful creature.

242

You would never know he's spying on you.

243

Alright, so pretty convincing.

244

Next time I see a bird, I'm definitely gonna look closer to see if there's a lens on it.

245

One of the most secret and coveted technologies out there are DEWs, which are direct energy weapons.

246

They're essentially just lasers and governments, of course, use those to penetrate drones, tanks, and to use them in military activity.

247

However, what if I told you that I got my hands on one, or at least a low -level one?

248

You see, in here is something called a blue light laser,

249

because all it is is a blue light laser, and apparently it's able to burst through things like wood, plastic, and other sort of objects and materials.

250

So it's like a real light lifesaver, and these are very illegal to purchase, so I don't know how I got my hands on one, but I have one right here.

251

You're not supposed to look directly into it, so I'm gonna put some goggles on, aka just some glasses that I have on standby.

252

I don't wanna burn my retina, so I have to do this carefully, so I think I'm gonna do it on a piece of paper to start, but I'm gonna show you what this looks like, because this is, oh, they actually give me some goggles.

253

This is probably a much better use.

254

So I guess red is like blue light blocking.

255

So here it is right here.

256

Lo and behold, it probably doesn't look too menacing, but just keep in mind that this thing is literally a lightsaber and nobody can have, this is not for civilians.

257

All right, so the very first test is going to be this single blade of grass

258

because this was the thinnest thing I could think of.

259

So right here, I'm going to see whether or not the blue light can burn directly through this.

260

I have no idea what to expect.

261

I am just going to flash a light on it and hope that it burns.

262

I feel like this isn't going to work.

263

Oh my gosh, it's working.

264

You see that?

265

Oh, I wish you guys could smell it.

266

One more time, just so you can see it from afar.

267

You see where it's hitting?

268

That is going to start smoking pretty quickly, too.

269

Oh my gosh, you see the smoke?

270

Wow.

271

So that burned right through that.

272

I kind of feel bad doing it to a plant.

273

So level one passed.

274

Now it's time for level two, which is going to be plastic.

275

There's actually some residue from burning through this plastic, but I want to directly sort of burn this so then we can see whether this works.

276

So let's try to burn it on plastic here.

277

Remember, all this is is a blue light.

278

So here is a spot.

279

There's nothing there.

280

Give it five seconds.

281

Five, four, three.

282

Oh my gosh, it's already smoking.

283

Two, oh, it's smoking a lot.

284

One, okay, I'm gonna hold it for another five seconds.

285

I don't wanna like start an entire fire.

286

Can you guys see that?

287

Do you see all the smoke that's coming up from this?

288

I didn't even know blue light was dangerous.

289

It sounds so beautiful.

290

Wow, look at that.

291

Wow, that straight up burned a lot.

292

Jeez, look at the ash and everything on there.

293

So grass complete, plastic complete.

294

Next up, we are going to do paper, but not just any paper, a paper towel, which is like a tree.

295

If it burns through this, then it'll probably burn through anything.

296

Not true, but let's try it.

297

All right, this one's already proving a bit more difficult.

298

I see no movement right now.

299

I need more movement.

300

Maybe it just requires a bit more exposure.

301

Kind of surprised though, it's not burning through.

302

These are two ply.

303

Maybe my All right, so paper towel was a fail.

304

But here's another piece of paper that I think actually it could burn through.

305

And what did I say?

306

Look at that burns through paper literally burned a direct hole through it.

307

This thing is heavy -duty I don't think you should point this at anybody because with long enough exposure.

308

This could definitely be dangerous very cool device though I could

309

see why the government doesn't want private citizens to have this

310

because if this was just 2x of what this megawattage was Then I think you do some serious damage

311

and if you want to know how intense this is on like a back wall, I Whoa, you could see it all the way back there at the very back of the room and it is strong.

312

Okay I'm gonna do this at night too.

313

So you guys can see it.

314

All right.

315

So here's the light I'm kind of afraid to do it No way.

316

That video does not do justice how crazy that light was.

317

That reached at least a mile up.

318

That was insane.

319

If there was a plane in the sky, that would have hit a pilot directly in his eyeballs because this thing went at least 20 ,000 feet up.

320

I am not kidding.

321

This thing is a beast.

322

I have no idea how this is legal.

323

now and the way that it works is that it's a platform

324

that basically has anti -gravitational pulse that things essentially float on it

325

and the government is known to use these things for a

326

lot of different reasons mainly military related I feel like most secrets are

327

because they have some sort of military angle to them

328

but I did get my hands on this bad boy

329

which will very closely replicate it if I can get it out of here

330

and all right so this is the device it is pretty heavy actually it's called the levitaxa

331

so it's like levitation

332

but levitaica I don't know how to turn this on I guess it has to be plugged in

333

because there's a lot of power that needs to be outputted against gravity.

334

Oh my gosh, it's actually levitating.

335

Look at this.

336

Look at this thing literally levitating.

337

This witchcraft.

338

That is crazy.

339

It is literally just moving and levitating.

340

This feels like this should not be happening.

341

All right, let me try to get like a figurine or something.

342

All right, let's try to get Winnie the Pooh now sitting on it.

343

Apparently this is what it's for.

344

Oh my gosh, he's floating.

345

Look at him.

346

I can't believe I currently possess technology that allows a literal probably one pound thing to spin like that.

347

And there's a true gap between it.

348

I wanna kinda like test this out to see its limits.

349

Okay, I wanna see if Brunchly could float.

350

Might be too heavy.

351

It kind of was?

352

Hold on.

353

Wow.

354

It actually works.

355

We have floating Brunchly.

356

I'm gonna show what it looks like to you guys just so you can see.

357

Literally floating.

358

Oh my gosh.

359

No wonder they don't want you to have this technology.

360

It's sick.

361

I'm a big fan of this.

362

I can't believe I live my life without knowing that this existed.

363

But anti -gravitational devices and technology is very cool and I'm glad the cat's out of the bag.

364

But it's very powerful.

365

You should see like the thrust in which this magnet comes collapsing down.

366

So I wouldn't mess with it too much.

367

But if you have like a figurine or something.

368

I think it's probably good to display.

369

Otherwise, I guess they're working on some pretty interesting military technology that will utilize this.

370

Moving on.

371

Now, if you like Spider -Man and him scaling buildings, then you're gonna like this one because there's literally a device

372

that allows you to climb walls that they use in the military

373

that the government does not want you to get your hand on, and that is this vacuum sucker in

374

which you could basically have two of these go against the wall and climb up a literal wall, which is what I'll be doing.

375

650 pounds and what you have to do is any sort of lat object you can press on directly

376

and then you could pick it up very easily

377

so let's say you have like a massive couch

378

and it's like 400 pounds you just press this on

379

and then you can just pull it up at a single point of contention

380

so i'll show you it on a few objects

381

and then i'm going to take it outside

382

because i'm able to actually scale a wall

383

because i have two of these and it could obviously hold up my body weight

384

because i am significantly less than 300 kilograms all right

385

so here's a pretty heavy object this is a helium can so just

386

kind of heavy and it's flat

387

so i imagine i'll be able to pick this up

388

if i had to guess i would say this is something like 20 30 pounds Okay, look, and see, I'm picking it up.

389

Now it is suctioned on, and if you look right here, it says 288 kilograms, so I think that's maybe what's remaining.

390

So since it could hold 300, that means this is 12 kilograms, which makes sense, I said it's about 20, 30 pounds.

391

And now I'm good on here, and then when you wanna let it off, you just click this little thing here.

392

And then, yeah, that's it.

393

So this thing is a beast.

394

I'm gonna head outside right now, and the next time you see me, I'm gonna be like Spider -Man.

395

All right, so here's a wall right here, so I'm gonna attempt to scale up it using these suction cups.

396

Turn both of these on.

397

All right, I'm not positive this is gonna work.

398

Let's see.

399

All right, so when I pull, it should be stuck.

400

Oh, it is, it is stuck.

401

Let's try this one now.

402

Wow, so I'm actually able to.

403

I don't know what to do from here though, because I have to pull it off using that.

404

Okay, so you kind of could scale.

405

This is definitely dangerous if you fall.

406

Those are stuck on there.

407

Wow.

408

All right.

409

All right.

410

Realistically, that's the highest I'm going to get.

411

If I had like more of these or if somebody kind of assists with it, you see how high you could get because that thing is sticking.

412

Like, look at this.

413

You can't pull that down.

414

So in practice, what they do in the military is they use this to scale different walls

415

and you're able to sneak into buildings, scale buildings, just do anything that requires you to get vertical, which I'm clearly unable to do.

416

It was an honest attempt though.

417

That's exhausting.

418

The next secret

419

seals when they're on their missions and they try to infiltrate places

420

while being quiet so their shoes don't make any sort of sound.

421

Right here this is what they look like so these are shoes

422

that kind of look like a sock

423

but then on the bottom they have this really interesting like

424

kind of gravelly like think of a new road that's what it kind of feels like

425

so it's not the most pleasant but apparently this absorbs a lot of shock

426

which makes sense if it was gravel because like it absorbs cars so I could see why.

427

They're not the best looking but if these things make me super stealthy I'll be happy.

428

So on this camera is a super sensitive shotgun microphone that's

429

pick up any sort of sensitivity when it's close to the ground.

430

So I'm going to have this running and I'm going to do a test with these shoes and then normal shoes.

431

And we're going to see which one has the most sound.

432

And we're going to see if these are actually stealthy or not, because if they are, these might be good if you want to do some snooping.

433

So here's what they look like.

434

This is the shoe in the flesh.

435

Very ugly.

436

Not a good looking shoe.

437

But remember, these are for function, not for fashion.

438

All right, here we go.

439

Thank you.

440

Thank you.

441

Thank you.

442

Thank you.

443

Okay, here are normal shoes.

444

All right, so reviewing the sound levels, it's actually crazy because it looks as if those shoes made literally zero sound.

445

The only sound that's in the background is the constant air conditioning, but there is no sound coming from my walk right there.

446

Whereas when I'm in the Crocs, you could see there's some peaks as I step through.

447

You could kind of clearly see the steps.

448

I honestly did not expect these to work.

449

I thought it was kind of like a BS secret technology, but stealth shoes, very much real.

450

to snoop around because they are quiet.

451

In fact, undetectably quiet.

452

That's some good tech.

453

Now, I actually possess this next piece of secret technology

454

because I bought it abroad in the UK

455

because there was a Kickstarter for somebody who created this and I actually use it in another video, and that is quantum stealth camouflage, otherwise known as invisibility.

456

Right here, I have an invisibility shield.

457

I use it a couple of times and I actually have it on footage, so I'll just show you like five seconds right now so you can see how cool it is.

458

Now, it may not look like it, but this thing is a beast and it's able to obscure you in very weird places.

459

hide for whatever reason, you can do so.

460

And no, I'm definitely not showing it in another video just because I spend a lot of money on it.

461

I have to get my money's worth.

462

I'm definitely not doing that.

463

Just look at it.

464

This thing was expensive.

465

We'll give two more seconds.

466

Okay, you're good.

467

Next segment.

468

Now if you're under the age of 30, this next secret technology was built directly for you, and that is the mosquito device.

469

And what that is is basically a speaker

470

that plays a high frequency sound called the mosquito tone that is basically used by governments and corporations for crowd control.

471

So if you're ever in a crowded place and they want to get rid of you, they'll play this really annoying 20 hertz sound that's going to

472

get you to a subconscious level to want to leave the place.

473

A lot of your favorite stores actually have access to these devices as well, and they'll use this to basically deter loitering.

474

So I'm going to play for you the tone right now.

475

Let me know if you're able to hear it.

476

All right, so again, if you're under the age of 30, you should be able to hear this.

477

If you're older than 30, you probably won't.

478

I guess you guys can let me know.

479

And just a fair warning, a little bit of caution.

480

This could, like, cause sickness in some people, so just be careful when listening to this.

481

Three, two, one, go.

482

Okay, so I could hear it.

483

So if you've ever heard this sound, that's what it is, a mosquito device, and it's trying to get you to leave a certain place.

484

Governments use it, corporations use it, it's playing this entire time, you should be able to hear it.

485

Okay, now it stops.

486

That was 15 seconds of it.

487

And while this is obviously a crazy revelation, something that I found that was even crazier is that governments and corporations even use things called vomit devices,

488

which are basically mosquito devices paired with a lot of flashing lights to induce vomiting.

489

So apparently low frequency sounds are really bad for your internal organs, and when you couple it with obviously strobe lights and flashing lights, it gets you into a really bad place.

490

So for the next five seconds, I'm going to do exactly that.

491

So I'm going to put on screen some flashing lights.

492

So just a fair warning for anybody who's photosensitive, coupled with the mosquito tone, and this is what it's going to look like.

493

All right, here we go.

494

If you look at this long enough, then this is their way of getting people to vomit.

495

I think it's used for like prisoners of war and stuff.

496

It's kind of like a torture device, what we're doing right now.

497

Okay, enough of that.

498

So now if you ever hear that sound, you know that they're trying to get rid of you.

499

All right, guys, tons of fun playing with these secret technologies.

500

Obviously, don't let anybody in on the fact that we played with them because they're secret.

501

But thank you guys so much for watching.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
