  • It's not a lightsaber, it's a protosaber!
Yes, and if you watch the whole video, you'll see that is exactly what we call it ;-)
  • Voltage doesn't kill, current does!
It's important to know what that actually means before repeating it. It only takes a few miliamps to stop a heart. But to stop a heart, the electricity has to GO THROUGH YOUR HEART. The human body, especially skin, has extremely high resistance. So for most small electronics projects, you're completely safe. The quoted "safe range" for DC is around 50V. This means your skin has enough resistance to prevent the flow of current through your body, and through your heart. As that voltage goes up, that's when you start to get in trouble. If you have ANY kind of unregulated power supply (like this one) it WILL be able to provide enough current to kill you. But only if the voltage is high enough to pass said current through your heart. This battery pack can put out hundreds of amps. More then enough to fry you. And 300V is more than enough voltage to break down your skins resistance. Please, please PLEASE research electricity -- the more you know, the safer you can be while doing projects. e.g. WHAT WE ARE DOING IS NOT SAFE!
  • How does the blade not bend!
It did actually start to bend a bit, but in our revised design (likely a tungsten core) it will not. We plan on making two, and yes, we plan on fighting with them!
  • Where's the test!?
Patience young padawan. These videos take time to film and edit! Make sure you're subscribed with notifications turned on!
  • This isn't a lightsaber!
Yeah well unfortunately even if we could contain a laser powerful enough in beam form... the laser emitter would be the size of the room in order to get any actual cutting power. Containing plasma, like a plasma cutter, could be possible, but still difficult to make into lightsaber form. Our design is the closest to a functional lightsaber, as it will be able to cut things, it looks like it, and it sounds like it. Remember, how a "lightsaber works" is a work of fiction... invented by an author, not an engineer. The physics of how it's "supposed to work" just don't.
