Anthony spent two months wiring 400 car batteries in parallel, producing currents simulating the top 1% of lightning strikes. The project drew mainstream tech press coverage and highlighted his ongoing large-scale electrical experiments.
His alma mater invited him to deliver a public talk titled '100,000 Amps and Beyond From Short-circuiting a Bank of 400 Car Batteries,' with additional student Q&A sessions in the physics lounge.

Daily follower snapshots from CreatorDB's longitudinal index.
Drake Anthony, known online as Styro Pyro, is a U.S.-based science and chemistry content creator who built his following around hands-on, high-stakes experiments — high-voltage electrical discharges, exotic reactive metals, industrial-grade lasers, and the kind of demonstrations that blur the line between education and spectacle. His self-description as a "Professional Mad Scientist" captures the tone accurately: the content is grounded in real chemistry and physics principles but presented with enough visual drama to pull in viewers who would never sit through a classroom lecture. He has an established presence across multiple platforms, with his TikTok serving as a high-reach shortform outlet for condensed experiment clips that consistently over-index on engagement — running at several multiples of the category median — suggesting the format translates well to the short-video context.
His audience skews young adult and is nearly gender-balanced, an unusual split for a hard-science content niche that typically trends heavily male — a signal that his presentation style is accessible and visually driven rather than technically gatekept. The U.S. makes up the majority of his viewership, with smaller but meaningful pockets in the U.K., Canada, and Vietnam. The gap between his strong engagement metrics and a recent slowdown in posting cadence on TikTok suggests his audience remains loyal even during quieter periods, which is a durable positive for brand partnerships. His niche — dangerous-but-educational science experiments — positions him well for brands in electronics, consumer tools, STEM education, and energy products looking for a creator who can demonstrate utility or scientific credibility in an entertaining format.
Drake Anthony reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through TikTok, and is best activated via TikTok branded content. As an education creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Engagement on TikTok runs around 11.1%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.

Styro_pyro's real name is Drake Anthony — styro_pyro is the brand handle he built his science identity around on TikTok. He has grown that handle to well over a million followers through chemistry, high-voltage, and laser experiments.
The handle fuses two ideas central to his content — materials and chemistry ("styro") with fire and heat energy ("pyro") — signaling the combustion, reactive-metal, and high-voltage experiments he is known for. It functions as a memorable brand that tells a new viewer exactly what kind of content to expect before they even hit play.
As of mid-2026, Drake Anthony's TikTok has been quiet for roughly four months with no new uploads, which is a noticeable gap from his earlier posting activity. His full back-catalog remains live, and followers curious about new content may want to check his YouTube channel while he is on hiatus.
Drake Anthony has documented building an extremely high-powered handheld laser that he describes as the world's strongest, powerful enough to burn through materials on contact. Lasers in that class sit far beyond any consumer product and represent one of his most-discussed builds alongside his high-current electrical experiments.
In one of his most striking experiments, Drake Anthony ran 40,000 amps through a galvanized bolt to demonstrate what catastrophic current does to metal — including vaporization and visible plasma arcing. It is part of a recurring series he runs on what happens when extreme electrical energy meets everyday objects.
Sodium is an alkali metal famous for reacting violently with water, producing flame and sometimes explosive bursts — making it a natural fit for Drake's "Professional Mad Scientist" persona. Framing it as his "spirit metal" is both a personality hook and a way to make a chemistry-lesson format feel personal and entertaining for his audience.
Indium is a soft, low-melting-point metal that is largely unknown outside electronics manufacturing, which makes it ideal for Drake Anthony's "secret science fact" video format. Its unusual physical properties — including the crackling sound it makes when bent — create visually and aurally surprising moments that work well in short-form content.
Yes, Drake Anthony is active on YouTube in addition to TikTok, where the longer format lets him show the full build process, safety considerations, and extended results of experiments that get condensed into clips on his TikTok. His YouTube content covers the same high-voltage, laser, and chemistry themes but with more depth than a short-form post allows.
Drake Anthony is based in the United States, which is also where the large majority of his TikTok audience is concentrated. He produces content in English and has additional viewership spread across the United Kingdom, Canada, and Vietnam.
Drake Anthony's TikTok engagement runs several times above the typical benchmark for creators in his follower tier, which is unusual for science and education content where passive viewing is common. That level of audience response on a Macro-tier account suggests his experiment-driven, visually dramatic format drives far stronger interaction than standard educational content.
