I would like to point out that this reporter is just drooling and is just dumbfounded with every word that comes out of James' mouth like he has no clue as to what James is even talking about.
To be fair to the reporter, I too have no brains and am just gobsmacked that it happened
Did you just combine awestruck and dumbfounded?
he just "why did i ask that question he is the biggest nerd ive ever seen" after james explains the extending and retracting
The guy was talking about plasma retractable and what not. The reporter replies: and I see they come in different colors
So what, should everyone know the workings of everything on this planet, do you know everything?

@@alwaystired4
Me on my way to tell the Alien how our patent system works
The nerd on staff is proud of himself
It’s not just him, it’s his entire team
yea pretty much
Entirely true, I don't think he has ever claimed that he made X project if he didn't but in this case, it's not only much easier for the news to just credit him but it's the same treatment Elon Musk gets when he gets attention on his cars and gadgets. I'd bet the team isn't even mad, everyone in that shop is more than likely just stoked to have made that and getting to make future stuff. I don't know how they pay their staff but I wouldn't be surprised if bonuses are handed out when videos do extremely well, having an opportunity to appear live on the news to a completely different age demographic is a huge win and I'd guess trump wanting to be credited.
I do however agree that simply slipping in "Well I didn't do everything my team did the majority of it" or "With the help of my team" would have been pretty wholesome and true, highly doubt anyone thought he did it solo though,.
He said we
Kinda like Thomas Edison with the lightbulb lol.
@@elgeorge437 not really. Edison took a lot of inventions from less well known inventors and called it his own. He did revolutionize the light bulb though, he created the longest lasting light bulb with a bamboo filament. But he did not have the right to say the light bulb was his idea, but he did invent the bamboo filament idea.
This guy knows the lore but I don’t think the news anchor cares. Smh
Its more like the Proto-Saber

You can say that to almost anything The Hacksmith Does
with like 7 guys too
Hack Smith is kind of scientist/inventor in my opinion .

All it is is a GTT torch for glass blowing. At most the torch itself costs under 5k if I remember right. What would cost the most is all the custom pieces they machined to make the handle.

@YuPei yeah actually it is
@YuPei it is though. He is applying an electric current through the superheated gas. Thus, plasma. Not the hottest plasma, but plasma nonetheless

Funny because that's how the original lightsabers worked in Star Wars, they needed a power pack.

Welcome invisibility and lightsaber, come on in
Hell yeah. Together we stand strong as canadians. :)
The first protosaber from Hacksmith was a heat blade - a piece of titanium heated to the temperatue of 2500 degrees celcius. It looks like a protosaber, it cut like protosaber, you can clash a one with another. They created a another prototype as plasma torch, because for the fans it was not enough.
However it still won't be enough for a fans in their place I would start working on the combination of both heat blade and a torch.
Their previous version was better, at least they actually invented something there instead of just grabbing commercial products off the shelf that have been in use for decades.
@@TechnoMinarchistBall the previous bersion was a hot metal stick and thats it
@@theenjeneer2493 It was metal with a coil around it. More creative than this, which is just turning it on or off. It's like buying a phone and turning it on and saying you invented a phone.
@@TechnoMinarchistBall thats completely different
Does it bug anyone else that they keep throwing around the term "plasma based" when it's not, and it's just an oxy fuel flame. It's cool, and it's well executed, but its not plasma. It's not an ionized, electrically conductive gas-based blade.
Imagine someone breaks into his house and he whips out one of those 😂
Takes a swing and burns his house down...

Nice

If the hacksmith could get his hands on one Kyber crystal, then he could get rid of that big backpack.
What does the kyber crystal do?
Wrong. The crystal focused and colors the blade. He still needs a power supply with an output of a nuclear power plant.
Well,in the early lore, the jedi use this kind of lightsaber but with batteries
@@zackzaidin4110 in a smaller external power pack... Yep. But those batteries must have had already an incredible amount of output. Still, the kyber crystal is not the power source of any light saber
@Ethan Donaldson who didn't? Except for the news station apparently
should we all take a moment to acknowledge that this is how Lightsabers actually started out in the Star Wars Universe
I loved it when it cut to the the guys face for 2 seconds to show his look of confusion while the hacksmith is explaining how it worked
Thats literally how the first "Jedi" made thier sabers. Came with packs on thier hips that were connected to the hilt.
Nvm. Maybe I should watch the whole video next time. 😆😆
Thats actually what they based it off of. You should probably watch all of their iterations
Yeah I thought the same thing by the thumbnail but realized this is terribly inefficient and doesnt cat anywhere near a "starwars" sabers potential
Why is this a surprise they do crazy suff
maybe not a surprise but it's certainly an accomplishment and very cool
Probably one of their most innovative things they made
Its literally a world record. A big world record
Ive been watching him since his first videos, its amazing to see how far hes come!
They call it "the galaxy's first retractable plasma lightsaber"
*laughs in alien*
Remember when everyone thought lightsabers would never exist. Ya.. now its real.
Well.. Protosaber exist. Close enough, tho.
And honestly, give some time and ressources to the Hacksmith team and I'm sure they'd be able to do a proper lightsaber 😂
No it's not. The amount of ignorance in comments is astounding. This has nothing to do with lightsabers or protosabers, this is a fancy enclosure for a standard oxy cutter that has existed for over 100 years now, literally. It doesn't even use plasma.
@@MrNotBot I'm not gonna argue with someone going straight to saying what he thinks is the way to think.
Go watch the Hacksmith video, in which he explains the science behind what the team made, and don't come back. Continu arguing if you want, I won't reply anyway, cause I don't care more than that and I have better things to do
@@onyxdemeraude2412 "Thinks is the way to think"? My dude you can't tell plasma from a normal flame. All science behind this project is that he's using a flow property of gasses to achieve the shape of a blade with an overclocked oxy-fuel cutter.
@@onyxdemeraude2412 Digger Nick is actually correct you numbskull.
It took science to make blowtorches too, so watching how it was made means nothing since it's essentially just a concentrated flame thrower with no blade that couldn't work well.
Reporter: "how dangerous is it?"
James: "dangerous in the wrong hand I guess..." but don't worry, we're the jedis :)
