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.
These people are real motivation ....they do so much hard work, go through lots of trials and errors and still don't give up and try to improve themselves every time
And my definition of motivation is getting out of bed in the morning.
@@lander90agreed, mate. Mine's waking up, savvy?

And they succeed!
yea i wonder how there able to sell it legally 🤔 like fuel and an oxygen = one of 2 things a rocket or a bomb and the difference between them is whether or not you premix the them that's probably one of the main reason's it's so hard to get good rockets for 4th of july without getting a permit
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
I feel like we’re 5 years away from hacksmith discovering the force itself
3-7 years for sure
Correction: building, the force
@@exoZeliaand in 50 years their gonna make the death star
@@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.
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
Not realy, a Rusian youtuber make an smaller AND inestable lightsaber that works 30 seconds And it's More than original
@@Searching_Producciones an
@@user-ck8iu1bw4z sorry my english Is bad
@@Searching_Producciones what is the name of the UA-camr😊
@@Searching_Producciones don’t worry about that, english is a very weird language, the only difference between “a” and “an” is that “an” comes before words that start with a, e, i, o, or u.
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.
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 😉
@@theHacksmith 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!
What took the in-universe engineers hundreds of years took these guys just a few. Unbelievable!
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
Definetly
same i have been watching these guys for a while and am glad to see history first hand
We are
not sure. Think we're watching something smaller being made right in front of us.
@@ventrue24601 i see what you did there :)
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.
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 👍
Fully convinced they know how to make a perfect lightsaber but just want to follow the lore
Exactly. They’re hiding stuff
This some real Darth Nihl shit
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💀💀
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.
The indomitable human spirit at it's finest
I mean, they’ve proved the concept CAN be made real. Everything after that is just refining the technology.
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
One small step for man, one giant step for lightsaber development
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
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
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! ❤
A Light Pike sounds like an awesome concept for a Jedi Temple Guard.
Its crazy that you went from heating up rebar, to creating an actual plasma lightsaber pike. Please dont stop making these awesome videos
Agreed
Moreover, don't stop improving and iterating newer better versions.
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 🤓
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!
2023: gang wars using guns

This comment aged poorly
It always surprises me to how you guys always manage to go beyond what you have made in the past
They Call Me Puma Cus Ima Puma Balls Down Yo Jaws
love the fact that not only is this a real saber pike, but it also shows how specializations aren't just for in-company groups, outsourcing is really useful
but doesnt that make you think if this is what people are acomplishing then imagine what our government is hiding from us
@@blindshieldyoki4050probably hiding people like these guys
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
I remember watching the proto-saber video. I'm stunned by how far you've come since in such a relatively short time
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?
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!
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

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.
@@floorpanel8749 ok

Revan's Theme! Perfect sight for this!
And it would match the timeline, for sure! Expanded Universe said the first lightsabers had packs.

Love your work, Hacksmith, thank you for this bright spot in my day!
You're not building lightsabers you're building plasma cutters.

Gotta get going on that crystal research, as we all know its the heart of the lightsaber! But great progress guys
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.
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.
Probably not own - too deadly. 😞
@@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
Wonder if it’s possible to make it a permanent blade like constant power you have to turn it off and it wont go off by itself
I think it's for the better if we don't get to own one... just looking at how things are now
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.

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.
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????

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

We live in interesting times. Already people and even whole professions are losing out.
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
BROOO, you're gonna inspire so many more future engineers, love your incredible work, such engineering pushed to the limits as an engineer should!!
you guys have definitely inspired me! Thank you for making such amazing things!
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
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
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
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
No sparks, quick cut, light weight, entirely proper size, and you're all the way there!
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 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

@@tvvistedv3nom26 Until we can arc a beam of plasma a true lightsaber is impossible. But this is still pretty sick

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

@@DecimusCaesar kyber crystals are also fictional
Y’all are inspiring the next generation of engineers in the coolest way possible. Keep pushing the envelope!
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.
That click while refuiling was SO satisfying
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.
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
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
All I know is you guys give me hope for the future. Because in all my wildest nerdly dreams in my life did I ever think I'd see a actual almost lightsaber complete in my lifetime or even say my nieces or nephews lifetimes. But here you guys are. Bravo.
This is the definition of a team. Imagine how James must feel. He spills his heart out to us all on UA-cam 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!!
Finally, a civilized weapon a true warrior can get behind.
Can we just think about how many parts this uses and the amont of time it takes= the dedication this guy has
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
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
This is documented history right before our very eyes.
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.
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
@@jacobwood7083 Sure as hell isn't new, but a giant mobile plasma cutter is in this configuration.
@@jacobwood7083 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
The way it cut through steel was crazy cool.
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 😅
This is why I love engineering. Because it just takes one breakthrough to then rapidly progress what we can do!
this is so cool, we are literally proving that lightsabers are not only possible, but the development of the real life ones are taking the exact same path that they took in starwars.
what was the path in star wars?
@@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.
@@samuelmarekmracka i mean, you could use the range of the pike to burn the person you’re fighting
Unless they’re using a gun or something
The design even looks like a lightsaber especially when shrunk down. WOW!
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 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!
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 💪
so excited for the future one!!!!
By the time I’m dead I’m convinced you guys will make a proper one
Unbelievable dedication. Soon, you guys need to create the force as well!
"THAT'S NOT HOW THE FORCE WORKS!"
the force is there. but there are no jedi on earth
They Call Me Puma Cus Ima Puma Balls Down Yo Jaws
@@obi5322 *opens google* "how to become a Jedi in real life?" Xd
may the force be mass times acceleration
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 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.
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
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
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
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.
Hacksmith starts making a even smaller lightsaber, Japan is trying to clone humanes and china starts making robot soldiers. The clone wars will begin.
Proud to be a hacksmith fan❤
