I want that
Yep make your infinite list of fans happy. Just don’t take it to far.
You guys really got the colour down this time around..Congrats
I like your knowledge and creative skills
Truly incredible what you guys have accomplished over time. I haven't watched the whole video yet, but I know its going to be great.
This is actually insane, the fact that they got so far from the first light saber to now this. Unbelivable
They Call Me Puma Cus Ima Puma Balls Down Yo Jaws
Now you need to get the blade down right
I mean they do
Can't stop a Nerf dart. If I throw a pebble at him, the flame won't be able to stop it.
@@toraguchitoraguchi9154 and in the SU lightsabers cant stop shrapnel so whats your point? not only that non force trained individuals are unlikely to deflect anything

@@Eradicate.they're*
Probably doing the Streetfighter movie Electromagnetism trick as a basis for the force powers.
I feel like the hardest part for getting a fully "movie accurate" lightsaber will be keeping the destructive potential and the ability to retract the blade, while still allowing the blade to have the attributes of a solid.
Next video: we made the world's first kyber crystal
They can do that. They would just have to make it very long
@@bitonic589 Which would make it inaccurate to the films, unless you count lightsaber pikes/temple guard weapons. Still a long way to go
@@riptide7007 duh
And finding a way to not kill the user from the radiant heat of the blade.
ATM it's still a glorified "flame" thrower. However, having said that, this is absolutely amazing. If anyone can get us to where we have real legit lightsabers, it's these guys. Although I hope someday to see them make them where two blades can actually clash like in the movies. You guys are doing incredible work and I can't wait to see what y'all do in the future.
our previous design was dualable! even had a video on it 😉
@@hacksmith well I'ma have to take and find that one to watch. You guys are doing amazing amazing work
Ok I checked it out, that is pretty cool. You guys are getting so so close
Look at my comment it might make the more dualable if it's not what you guys already did
Kind of but yeah still awesome! But there is a reason the tip of the "blade" is not showing when it doesnt need to. Im excited to see where this ends up!
Can we just appreciate that in lore it took hundreds of years to get to this point and these guys have achieved it in just a short few years absolutely incredible
For real man. If Kyber crystals existed, these guts could have a real lightsaber made in like a month tops
@raifparker3990 im no scientist do i could be completely delusional on this but maybe they could use a small piece of uranium as fuel, that would definitely cost MILLIONS if even possible
yeah, because actual lightsabers are made of photons, not plasma. Bit harder
@@jeanremi8384 Lightsabers in canon are plasma controlled by a magnetic field.
That's because all these are basically flamethrower sabers. A real lightsaber contained in a magnetic field isn't possible yet.
This is absolutely incredible it’s even better to know that a lightsaber pike is a real thing in Star Wars so despite it being so long it’s technically the first real cordless saber pike

And the in-universe creators had much more advanced technology.

i honestly feel like we’re witnessing something BIG being made right in front of us

@@ventrue24601 i see what you did there :)
you guys are progressing WAAY faster than the SW universe. Gives me hope that there will be a fully fledged lightsabre (with physical resistance properties like we see in the SW duels) within my lifetime. I look forward to the titanium (beskar replacement) vs lightsaber test when u guys get to it 😊
Clashing against other blades is a weakness, not a strength . Trying to cross 2 hacksmith blades would just pass through each other with a weird shape during the crossing .
@@johndododoe1411 👍
I'm 51 yrs old, I saw the first Star Wars movie at a drive-in theater. I watch the evolution of these sabers in utter disbelief. Words can't describe my excitement to see all future iterations! Thank you guys! ❤
I love how they don’t give up even when they meet an obstacle, this proves how determined they are and i love it
LAMINAR FLOW!!!!
Sorry, Smarter Every Day hooked me on the concept.

I mean, they’ve proved the concept CAN be made real. Everything after that is just refining the technology.
I'm fully convinced that in their pursuit of building a fully realistic lightsaber, the guys at Hacksmith are going to discover a completely new state of matter
Yeah, something like solid plasma so hte blade can actually hit and interact with other lightsabers, these guys are single handedly making star wars a reality.
@@shaqtus3365solid plasma would both be amazing and terrifying
@@shaqtus3365 that would be cool but insanely dangerous though!
@@shaqtus3365 technically not possible unless HIGHLY pressurized but i get ur point
Magnetized solid plasma
One small step for man, one giant step for lightsaber development
As impractical as it is, I've always admired Lightsaber pikes and if you started selling them right now, I'd probably buy one as is.
Impractical? A saber pike is equally viable, it’s just range vs dueling
I don't think they would sell them. They would have to spend a LOT to mass-produce them. They'd be better off showing people how to make them in a tutorial
"How to make a Hacksmitch LIGHTSABER STAFF!"
Light saber pikes are a thing in the Star Wars. What they were mostly just used by the eternal emfire, which ironically, died out in like a decade
Fun fact in Star Wars comics Jedi of the old republic often used light spears/pikes so this was a real canon saber type so this is truly amazing to see this
Awesome :D
They literally mention that though
Go back far enough and they used to have a cord and power pack too 😂😂😂😂😂
@@fox0yeah410 they also mention that right before that in the video. Are you guys incapable of watching videos?
@@shinydewott💀💀
Holy crap. My mom and I were literally talking about how you guys are making real lightsabers among other things, she left the room, you posted and was shocked at the timing. Phenomenal work guys. Thanks for helping make our dreams reality!
Sounds like an interesting way for the conversation to continue lol
Don’t stop perfecting the lightsaber! Keep going and don’t stop until you have invented a real lightsaber! I don’t care if it takes you guys 100 years!
I remember watching the proto-saber video. I'm stunned by how far you've come since in such a relatively short time
If you guys are looking for a more compressed butane, look up the ST dupont lighter butane. Its a MUCH smaller cartridge and is compressed at a different psi than standard butane. It also is threaded on the nozel which may help with stability for you. Make sure to look into it as there are different levels of compressuon and different nozel sizes for their butane!
Idk about the company but I have a dupont lighter and I love it. So addicted to the sound of the click on it
They seem to be already using a specialist gas mix, not lightergas designed for lighting up silly tobacco .
How can butane be compressed any further?? It's already compressed to a liquid in most applications.
@ShannonDove-sy7ye look up iso-butane vs. n-butane and the different operating pressures. They can be pressurized to different psi. They also burn completely differently.
@@michaelhartman2645 ok, so you're talking about a different kind of butane. I could be wrong, but I suspect that the energy density is going to be almost the same. Meaning that one liter of either kind of butane is probably going to be the same amount of calories. I will look it up later tonight and see. For higher energy density they could try a heavy product such as diesel or wax, but they would have trouble vaporizing or atomizing it, and of course wax would have to be kept heated to liquid.
Can you imagine how the team feels? People have been trying to make ligthsabers real for decades and they are actually doing it! I feel like we are watching history unfold before us. May the force be with you!
If you can get it to be as hot as a plasma arc, thats hotter than the sun...You guys are close, very close. Brilliant work!

Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

And it would match the timeline, for sure! Expanded Universe said the first lightsabers had packs.

Hi, I was very intrigued by this project of yours, and this came to mind last night. according to how star wars lightsabers work, when the blades slam, it's not actually a real blow, because in reality they repel each other because all those lightsabers have the same charge. so you could try implementing a magnetic bar inside the plasma beam so that when two blades are close together they repel each other. Thank you for your attention to this comment if you are reading.
Interesting idea but heat destroys magnetism. The highest temperature you can reach with a material staying magnetic is elemental cobalt at ~1000 °C.
Also, they can't put anything in the flame because it disrupts the flowing gas that makes the "blade" so nicely shaped. They talked about it in the QnA video.
@@Dublin_N just nagnatize the plasma
You guys are the greatest inventors in all of RUclips history! Thank you Hacksmith for making the impossible possible.
I cannot believe I was born into a generation where I won't just get to see a REAL lightsaber be made, but refined to perfect and one day may even be able to own or make one. Simply incredible I cannot wait to see the progress made by the time the next video rolls out.

@@brawlstarsgamingv2312 definitely
@@brawlstarsgamingv2312 but hey atleast the color changing mini sabers will be the closest thing if the actual sabers wont be up for sale

you have no idea how happy I got when I saw the swagelok box in the video! my dad worked at one of the Ohio facilities for 25 years before retiring and made parts that were on the ISS. to this day that factory keeps asking him to come back out of retirement because of his work ethic and even offered ME a job just to have his knowledge back! Seriously made my day
Super cool! It’s been fun to see your development over the years. Ya’ll are frankly doing a much better job with lightsaber development than Disney is with putting out a decent story 😅
I just like how out of all possible things we as a species are striving to get, a lazer sword is the one.
Its called light saber
Well light saber & laser sword are basically the same thing, although both names don't really match the tech behind those from the Star Wars lore. Sabers are just a sub-category of swords, and the terms laser or light could both mean the same cuz both are forms of light. However, as those things actually emit energy that ionizes the air around it, it changes the air molecules' physical state into plasma. That means that technically, it's a plasma sword, while emitting light as a form of energy radiation.

@@istvantoth3775 bro he's just trying to educate us
@@DDxRaptoryeah well George Lucas said Lightsaber so yeah i would say it is a Lightsaber .. poopy head
I feel that the best design for the next lightsaber would be something like Cal Kestis’s lightsabers since they are a bit longer than a normal lightsaber. You could even do a Jedi Survivor partnership. Another idea would be to make Darth Maul’s staff, but make it where only one side turns on and you can save room that way. Good luck!!
I believe Tulak Horde had a longer than normal handle for a single bladed lightsaber, so, perhaps model after him?
I like how you explain and have all the things to make said first actual light Saber if you have the material and the plan when can I expect a full light Saber vid (I know I sound like one of those guys but I am realy exited for the future)
I was actually screaming darth’s “NOOO!” The moment I saw his helmet. That’s hilarious guys, ingenious. I can’t believe how close you are to actually making this a reality.
Y’all are inspiring the next generation of engineers in the coolest way possible. Keep pushing the envelope!

gongrats cuys. It is impremely expressive to see fow har you cuys have come in raking the sightlaber meal
the fact that theyve managed to follow almost exactly how it goes in the lore is pretty insane, also says something about the star wars lore. very awesome
Gotta get going on that crystal research, as we all know its the heart of the lightsaber! But great progress guys
I like how our limited tech is returning the mysticism
back into light sabers if they get to the point where the saber is able to run like this in a small hilt it’ll probably run for a short time making it truly a last resort kinda self defense tool like how the Jedi saw them before the clone wars
I'm genuinely curious if they'll ever find a way to make it so the sabers can actually keep form, and maybe even clash with each other. I don't know if it's even possible, but a couple years ago, I didn't think what they've got now was possible.
@@SpectralArchivist Lightsaber registration is absolutely going to be necessary.
@@Iliadic tbh i think the light saber clashing was a design flaw when it was being made in the lore.
@@SpectralArchivist no that's not possible
That's not what Jedi saw them as 🤓
it's so crazy to see how far this project has come. I remember when they were first making their original lightsabers that were basically just super hot sticks.
and this is basically a flame thrower????
@@aamyushh no?
A flamethrower literally throws gasoline or some other fuel while igniting it
@@aamyushh literally it isn’t flamethrower throws gas and is normal human fire while their new lightsaber aren’t man made they are plasma flames

New video idea :
Make a rusty katana with an aluminium sheath..so everytime you pull the katana with force , thermite reaction occurs throwing molten slag at the target
Visually they're really close! And we all want to see them do it! I think the hardest part yet to engineer would be to make the blade a solid, that it can actually hit/slice something
This is amazing and in a couple years you might have a literal lightsaber! its really cool to be here and see the development. Its like watching people develop something that has been thought to be completely impossible!
No
It still is impossible I mean it's just a flamethrower with a little style
@@jukemasta2455 i was more impressed with the redhot rod because it was actually a hot sword, these are just flamethrowers
Technically it still is impossible this is just a flame sword a lightsaber wouldn’t be a beam of fire and would be able to deflect other “lightsabers instead of just going through each other but this is definitely a good start

I'll be really impressed if they can design a plasma blade that doesn't loose shape when moved and when the blade is solid enough to move objects
I cannot wait until you get the final process. You guys are amazing! Please keep it up
This is actually very interesting as a melee weapon, because you could use it just like a normal staff or polearm but when you stab you could hold the blade there for long enough to cause alot of damage, possibly going straight through armor.
this is insane. I remember when u made your first version of a lightsaber basicly being a large metal stick that you heated up. this is amazing.
It would be so dope if they could eventually cut like real lightsabers. So cool to see your progress over the years
Unfortunately, a solid beam would require a completely different system, possibly requiring mechanics that are not even theoretically possible right now
For that to happen the blade would have to be literally 20000C. At those temperatures you won't be able to even hold the light saber.
@@colemanbubar5098 Oh I understand that fully, but it would still be really neat if it became, somehow, possible one day
@@meurtenbaguette Kyber crystals unfortunately don't exist right now, but we will find a power source to create an actual lightsaber that cuts like one
@@DecimusCaesar kyber crystals are also fictional
Can we just think about how many parts this uses and the amont of time it takes= the dedication this guy has
It was more like plasma-flame thrower instead of literal plasma beam. I understand that might be more difficult in obtaining the materials to hold on.
Though, it is still pretty great for them to come this far.
This is spectacular! Such a huge step! So happy I bought both the gold version and the founder version of the minisabers! Excited to see what comes next!
How much do they cost ?
67usd for the cheapest one in their store that resembles the hilt of a light saber.. I am considering to order one😍
the 52usd one in their store looks more like an elongated butane lighter in matt-black finishing, still looks cool but nothing ‘Jedi-like’.
@@terence79chan thank you, it’s cheaper than I thought it’d be lol
This is actually insane. Every time I think you guys are gonna run head first into the wall at the edge of possibility you pull an even better design with new features out. Love the work you guys are doing, can't wait to see these things become fully realized. Can't wait for the next version
i gotta say you guys do merch best. honestly other youtuber try to do merch and its always so... obnoxiously designed or has such a neish reference on the shirt that no one understands. but your guys stuff looks great, simple, clean, stylish, and isnt confusing to onlookers. Great job.
This is crazy, if you know about starwars you know the evolution of lightsabers kinda looks like this, in early stages they had saber connected to a hip pack. Dope to see we’re following along the same evolutionary paths.
It is absolutely amazing what you guys are accomplishing. Not many people set out to achieve the impossible, and actually reach their goal… well, because it is supposed to be impossible. You guys are literally pioneering the world’s first lightsaber, and I hope you understand HOW big of a deal it is, and how mind blowing the results have been to witness. The first lightsaber video you released gave me hope that we will have real lightsabers before I die, let alone NOW, and I cannot thank you enough for that excitement.
The best part is watching the teamwork throughout the process. Everyone contributes, everyone is essential.
I couldn't agree more
unlike my school group projects
Cool, idea. I think you have to look at the energy density of fuel types. To think that anything has the energy density of a light saber... only nuclear pelets can probably be such a suitable fuel source.
This is so cool! Although I do think that true lightsabers are impossible because they are shown as pretty much solid in the Star Wars universe:( but this is as close as we can get and I think it is WELL deserved for you guys!
Not to be “that guy” but actually they are not solid they just repel each other and energy based weapons. That gives them the appearance of being solid only.
Considering George Lucas was not using actual science in the Movies because it is not science fiction but instead science fantasy, the fact they have gotten this far is incredible.
@@AltimusPrimeG1 No way you’re being that guy! Very interesting. Thank you for your insight my friend
I love how the thumbnail doesn’t hide the hilt of the lightsaber, this is incredible progress and a real step up from the previous proto-sabers. Own it 💪

@@fyiispy8014 it's explained in the video.
Great comment genius, you literally just summarized the video
Well, not to be a downer cause it is very cool, but lets not forget a very key part; you can't fight with this, as stuff will pass right through the blade. That is probably the most important part of a lightsaber.

I started building lightsabers for more than 20+ years, but we stopped because if we wanted to be able to actually cut "melt" things with it - it became a skin and eye hazard = could make you go blind or burn all the hairs off your skin! So we stopped a few years ago and just made "pretty" portable ones. (and "we" were a bunch of fans, scientists and engineers.)
[We pretty much did the same thing except 10+ years earlier - our most powerful one - burnt out very large heat-sink in less than 2 seconds and turned out neighborhood into daylight at night.]
It's nice to see you have a BIG safer slow burning/melting one tho. - Good job!
Would love to see yours!
I can't help but notice the intentional cutting of the shot to hide the short beam length. That pikes got a really short blade.
2 more things need to happen: The physics of a lightsaber, and the sounds of a light saber. This is great progress and excited for whats next.
physics is impossible for this project but sounds would be very easy
what do u mean by the psyhics?
@@jackr0101 you know when they use them like swords and the plasma blade hits into each other, that wouldn’t work with this since it would just go through another blade
the physics of a lightsaber come from the magnetic field that contains the plasma, but i dont know if those physics apply in real life (for instance, if it was magnetic specifically it'd have some funky effects near metals, and i dont think they'd clash but either attract each other or, more likely, repel each other violently, preventing contact for more than a second) and it'd be really hard to contain the plasma in a magnetic field produced by something that fits into a lightsaber hilt anyways, at least with our current tech
@@zoeyuroboros5739 plus we have no idea how to "cast" a magnetic field offset from an object
This is the definition of a team. Imagine how James must feel. He spills his heart out to us all on RUclips and is brave enough to say he needs help. Then all the Hacksmith team/employees jump in aswell and start tackling content on the channell. This is so comparable!! Look forward to becoming accustomed to all the new videos and faces!!
yall are so underrated you guys put in so much work love yall:)
You guys don’t know how excited I am that you are actually crafting these
The lightsaber pike was always my favorite lightsaber variant, glad to see it become reality.
As someone who prefers this style as well, I fully approve of this design being sold publicly.
It's even bigger than a double bladed
You guys are actually gonna do it ... does everyone realize how incredible that is ?!
We've had plasma cutters for quite a while now, this is cool but it's not new technology like everyone seems to think in this comment section
@@InspectahPatio Sure as hell isn't new, but a giant mobile plasma cutter is in this configuration.
@@InspectahPatio Yeah but actual cordless lightsabers are new
This is cool to look at, but it's not going to do what you think it is.
@@preddyshite6342 ok Luke
Incredible! These guys make dreams come true!
Amazing job on the lighsaber pike guys!! Real fan of your work🦾🦾. I'm just thinking, can a high melting point retractable rod be inserted into the current plasma saber so that it can maintain the solid structure of the blade? Like the ones in the protosaber vids but with a retracting motion. That would be awesome too see. I'm having Qui Gon Jinn's vibe here when you guys are cutting through steels with those blade. Shivers dude. Love to see the future development.
They addressed why they can't put a rod inside the flame in the QnA video - it would disrupt the flame. Same reason they can't swing it around
This is why I love engineering. Because it just takes one breakthrough to then rapidly progress what we can do!
It’s been incredible to see this technology develops in real time. To see how far you’ve come from having a really hot metal rod to now being on the cusp of a fully retractable plasma blade is insane
You did a great job! However, if I may say something, it would be amazing to have a lightsaber which has a core allowing it to actually touch something and to "fight" with it
Saw Bogdan's livestream with SOLIDWORKS showing off the progress on the new lightsaber. With the amount of money, time, and resources going into this cable-less lightsaber, I could only imagine it being priceless, worth millions of dollars. I absolutely can not wait to see what you guys have to show.
I can't believe how close they are to completing a traditional light saber.
they are not close
@@neme5649 yes they are?
@@Adam-fl9uc a the blade of a lightsaber is literally plasma, not only that but an industrial plasma cutter has a cord and isn't made to be a weapon like the lightsaber they made
@@Adam-fl9uc I don’t think you understand how the concept of “close” in this context works. 😏
@@Adam-fl9uc Think about it this way, we dont have self contained plasma cutters that can be portable and handheld. So thinking of how unimaginablely far we are from actualy lightsabers, in respect to his comment he is saying "I cannot believe how close they are" in the sense of this and is amazing progress.
Mark my words, this guys are gonna make it happen one day.
I wish, but I don’t think it’s actually possible lol.
@@HouseOfHockey14 it is possible but I don’t think it’s happening in our lifetimes
@@abrahamsanchez7455 Happening in our Lifetimes, but might not be practical / safe use in most cases.
Natotech in 2100
I have a feeling that these guys will stumble on something real while making these projects
Just wait a couple of years and these guys will be making stuff like: "We have built the world's first Death Star (THE SUPERLASER WORKS!)".
The pike actually looks a little cooler than a normal lightsaber, it is more unique
Hard disagree, but it is unique.
@@TeenPerspektiva it would be a cool addition to one of the movies or games though
@@Eli-mh2ys Good news! They're already around! There's concept art for a Lightsaber 'Pike' intended as a weapon for Darth Bane, and also there are Lightsaber Pikes used by characters in the MMO 'Star Wars: The Old Republic'.
@@atlantian1242 oh sick ty for letting me know
Pikes are in the canon too, jedi temple guards use pikes with yellow colour blades
I was already so excited to find out you guys we're able to make it cordless. But after explaining the 3 steps to make it compact enough to actually contain everything in the handle made me giggle. I did not think it was possible to get there so soon!
And this class is how the most deadly weapon of the 22nd century came to be
Love that these guys are casually creating weapons of mass destruction. Our next world war will definitely be fought with lightsabers
I love how the development of the lightsabers is lore accurate. From battery pack. Lightsaber pike. To the iconic lightsaber.
The fact that you have done something people wouldnt even begin to know how to do, its so incredible your doing things like this because it inspires others to do as you guys already are doing. People love your content and you are worth a lot
This video is very excited!
And my heart is very very beating. 💓
