How close are we to making a real lightsaber?

Recommended Posts

If you find yourself watching a movie about space ships duelling above CGI alien worlds and space monks fighting with light swords in the next few days, your mind might wander. Specifically, it might wander on to the question of just how possible it is that a sword whose blade comprises a burning stream of suspiciously finite plasma could actually exist.

Fortunately the internet is ahead of you on that score: the quest to build a 'real' lightsaber is fairly extensive, comprising more or less exactly the same length of time as has expired since the end of the original Star Wars' premiere in 1977.

While I applaud the ingenuity, the idea of expending a rather uncontrolled flaming liquid is sure the keep the fire department force awakened. Nevertheless, quite the charcoal endor for the barby.

While cool, a bit impractical unless you want to start fires. Besides how do you have a duel?

He could have achieved the same result by winding up the valve stop on a cheap clipper lighter

He seems to be enjoying it quite a bit. !! Maybe too much.

Hope he (or a friend) doesn't someday fire it up while "under the influence"
