Star Wars: a fan creates the first real lightsa with retractable plasma

After having recreated the claws of Wolverine, or even a cybertruck with an automatic turret, The Hacksmith, now famous on Youtube, has attacked the creation of a new lightsaber.We are not talking about a reproduction for children found in the trade, but a laser saber that can cut walls and doors.He details in his video the production mode and tests the result, which turns out to be impressive to say the least.

In the introduction of his video, which uses the epic soundtrack of Star Wars films, The Hacksmith announces that he created a retractable lightsaber using plasma.He specifies that very few people in the world work on the creation of a lightsaber.He also traces the experience of his teams with the Laser Sabers.Because yes, it is important to specify, The Hacksmith is not at its first try.The Youtubeur team has already developed several versions of Lasers, including a reproduction of the Kylo Ren saber, from the last trilogy of the successful saga.

The first real retractable laser in the world

For this version of the saber, The Hacksmith explains that it will be created in parallel with a backpack that will serve as a container for batteries.Indeed, as he explains, a lightsaber, to function as in films, would require the energy equivalent of a nuclear power plant, which is impossible with our current level of technology.He added that during the previous trials, the results were conclusive because the sabers looked like those of the films, emitted the same sound, and reached temperatures up to 3,000 degrees.They were even able to cut objects.He then embarked on technical explanations of the process to contain the flow of plasma and keep it in place thanks to a magnetic field.This new version will be the first to be retractable.

The new Laser of The Hacksmith is getting closer to what we can see in Star Wars

After describing and showing the manufacturing process for a long time, The Hacksmith finally goes to tests.The saber rises to a mind -blowing temperature of 4,000 degrees.He is very close to the aesthetic level of what we can see in Star Wars.He rejoices himself: "We did it!The first retractable laser from the world based on plasma!»».The video ends here since it is devoted to the manufacturing process.The full test video is available here.

At first, we see the tester, equipped with protective glasses, pierce a human -sized representation of a stormtrooper.He then cuts a wall made of polystyrene panels, then finally tackle a metal wall.The Hacksmith specifies that the autonomy of the saber is only about five minutes.It is limited by the capacity of the bottles fixed to the backpack.He completes the test phase by cutting a laser gun, a piece of meat, tempered glass (which literally explodes in contact), and finally, a car.

Much path still remains to be covered before seeing a Laser of Human Creation equal what we can see in Star Wars.However, it must be recognized that the creation of The Hacksmith is impressive.Who knows, perhaps one day we will know a sufficient technological advance to create real Lasers and colonize other planets.
