remember when a 128 meg hard drive was the size of a mellon? now i can carry 16 gigs on something the size of my fingernail. soo, maybe we'll have lightsabers soon. no more medieval swords for me!
This is awesome because this is probably how the Jedi developed their lightsabers. The originals had portable power packs that were attached to their belts, so this is not far off
michio has diverted his attention from research to filming and acting. like athletes, they forget what their job was and just concentrate on ads, films, making money... wat a waste
To build a Light Saber...we need a special cristal...
Thinking about us having plasma cutters...why does in the game Halo, humans still have bullet guns, and haven't yet develop a plasma gun? I mean, it IS in the future, and they have warp speed.
The first issue with the plasma blade- the one that doesn't clash- is it still strong enough to cut through anything? If i had a quarter-sized power source capable of powering New York (i don't.), and i didn't care if it would clash with itself would it work? Or would i still need the new Ceramic? Is this Ceramic obtainable anywhere? (I'm NOT trying to make one- i'm trying to make my World of Darkness Mage make one. World of Darkness is otherwise this world, meaning if i can buy it here...)
how about create a nano scale wire strong enough to be heater to high temperature but impossible to bend wouldnt make a light saber? just an opinion./.
the power pack he speaks of is rather unnecessary lots of power yes but if you look into it light sabers aren't to much stronger than a regular plasma cutter they dont cut through everything and actually take there sweet time cutting through metal's
Little fun fact which I'm sure the mega nerds will also know, he mentions at the end needing the usage of a portable powerpack. That WAS actually meant to be with earlier lightsabers in the lore. Protosabers
I'm starting to prefer Kaku's version of a lightsaber over the fictional ones. Like, if I could have one, I'd choose Kaku's if it weren't so much more dangerous.
the magnetic field will actually aid in helping the heat move through radiative transfer. He's not using the field to handle the heat, he's using it to mold the plasma into a shape. He completely negates the fact that there will be 9,940 degrees F radiating off the damn thing.

@and1dodger exactly....it's very ignorance, it's just like how most american think mexicans are brown and short and when they see a white mexican with blond hair and blues eyes, they are like "WHAT?? YOU'RE MEXICAN? OMG.." hahah shit is always funny to see
but instead of stopping it at three feet and having to go thru all that trouble,
why not put a stopping point at the three feet marker almost like a plasma shielded steel wall. one thats about the size of a nickle or larger. holding it would be a rod attached to the light saber.
Those same ceramics if used in the right manner as in part as they are in some degree could be used more with cars Lining parts of the combustion chamber as like either coating the top of the Piston Head with a composite Alloy along with the use of Values made from as such so as to retain the heat increaseing the temp helping with pre-detonation kNock....then fuel could be leaned out Adding 100's miles to tanks of Gas, as well changing the out put of emissions output
@BruceMichaelAnderson Ummm.. they've had ceramic engines (parts) for over a decade... just sayin. Even further on gas.. my sister had a 94 ford Aspire. it got 53mpg. 53! and now, almost 20 years later, I think the leader is the Prius with 41. How is THAT advancement? ::sigh:: one of these days, the money-mongers will wake up
@mickycheese27 You know what plasma IS.. right? you can't COAT something with it. Plasma is electrified gas. It gas must be contained. Oh, and how are you gonna cut something (say a wall) when your sword is being repelled from it? You would essentially have to use force to PUSH the matter away from it.. therefore you would need to be stronger than the object's molecule bonds.
@Talusmade I know plasma is super heated gas, it has a property that allows it to be confined in a magnetic field, a force field doesn't necessarily have to be repelled it can act like a certain material (like diamond) which can come into contact with anything like solid matter.you generate this field then around it confine the plasma generated from the handle. The bonds formed by the forcefield is at the sub atomic level
@rykemapo that is not really accurate. it was taught in schools like that, but no, plasma isn't that simple. It's gas with an electrical current or charge. if you take a cup of water.. and keep applying heat. you will NEVER get plasma. Some kind of force must be applied to give an electrical charge. SUCH as the weight of the earth turns the iron in our core to plasma
@Talusmade Uhh no. The iron in our core is not a plasma, it's a solid. If you apply a large amount of heat to water, it will eventually turn to steam and then separate out into hydrogen and oxygen. If you continue to add heat, then it becomes ionized, aka a plasma. So yes, applying heat to water will eventually turn it into a plasma.
@NewRisingSong LOL it can be the seventh for all you know. There are a lot of other states that can be created in a lab, but they don't have "numbers". Plasma is known as the fourth state as it is introduced to almost all students who go through high school, while the additional states are usually studied in labs and universities.
@NewRisingSong The fifth element is Boron. Explain how plasma is the fifth element?
And when I said "were you joking", I was talking about the whole comment. I am arabic, actually, and although english is my first language, my father sometimes mixes up his "b"s and "p"s. I thought you were just an ignorant commentator who was quick to prove himself smarter scientifically than a quantum physics professor, therefore ignoring conventional English spelling.
@moxinnoliblast except that the reason it can't cut a vibrosword is because the have a cortosis weave on them... so really it's only two things. Armor was also made with Cortosis but it equired much more and the ore is VERY expensive.
lightsabers are coverded by same magnetic fields which stops them from going into each other by "blowing them from each other" but it still can cut through virtually anything
A lightsaber exactly like the one explained in wookipedia will never be possible. because with the lightsabers in the movies, games, shows etc. the blade is housed inside a coating of the force which keeps it together. the force however does not exist.
@MSKproductions123456 Sorry. you are mistaken. a lightsaber has NOTHING to due with the force. Not directly at least. a saber is pure technology. (even in StarWars)
That's not entirely true. In the Star Wars universe, it took millennia to master the technology behind personal lightsabers. They evolved from very primitive ones that required an entire backpack reactor in order to power it, then over the next couple thousand years, they refined it and built smaller and more robust power cells to put in the blade shaft. I believe we will do it the same way, continually improving throughout many years to achieve the technology behind lightsabers.
or take 3 125wat lasers duck them together build something to keep them then build the body of the light saber put them in and done u can burn things with it really quick
@betheperson1 And anyone with more than half a brain will immediately put 2 and 2 together and decide "vibroblades are clearly made with ceramics!" thus completely negating your objection.
@betheperson1 Cortosis, more specifically. I know someone else probably already pointed it out, but I just wanted to seem like I knew what I was talking about. ^.^
@betheperson1 But that's still making sense in the concept that "lightsabers" = some form of energy and energy > matter but not other energy hence the effect of the vibroblade protects it's material component and why force lightining is deflected/absorbed/drawn to a lightsaber correct?
@betheperson1 Well that's how they did it in that K.O.T.O.R. video game you could add different batteries to the blade and cause odd or focused resonations in some kind of enegey field that surrounded the blade. I honestly It'd be easier to design some kind of better vibroblade that had an energy field or sonic resonance field or something that made it cut better XD but then again I have no physics training so it may be more complicated I got no clue.
@betheperson1 WRONG! It needs cortosis weave for it to be able to stop a lightsaber. Check with Trask Ulgo in the beginning of Kotor when you go onto the bridge. Yea, I said it. If your gonna nerdly correct someone, do it right. Necros out. lmao
Yes, But all vibroblades are made through cortosis weave.
If they weren't, it would be next to useless.
Thats why they are effective in KOTOR. because they have already undergone the process of corotosis weave. if your going to nerdly correct some-one, do it right...
@betheperson1 Cannonly speaking (and a touch of developer) not ALL vibroblades have cortosis weave (in game, yes, they all did. But honestly that would just waste to make a 'completely' new weapon series just to fit it into the cannon). It was a very common thing to put cortosis weave on it, but there were still quite a few that didn't.
Ok first, there is a reason they are called vibroblades, it is because of the massive amounts vibration it gives off to make slicing easier, without corotosis weave, it's just a blade.
Cannonly speaking, it wouldn't at all be a waste creating somewhat of a new weapons genre. it's not so different from the lightsaber, nor is it a totally different genre of armament.
So yes, there were a few who didn't undergo corotosis weave, they were called knives and swords, the end :)
@betheperson1 Cortosis weave is a protective outer casing, not a material to make the sword or whatever you think it is. What makes a vibroblade a vibroblade is a small emitter in the hilt that VIBRATES the blade, making basically any cut you get 5X more potent. A cortosis weave was used on (basically) all Vibroblades in the KOTOR timeline, which is the reason they didn't need a down graded version without it.
Cortosis weave, no matter what form it takes, is both the method used to create the outer casing and is the outer casing. for the emitter to actually activate, there has to be the outside casing of cortosis weave or else it would simply fall apart.
If they were to create a vibroblade without using cortosis weave, the emitter (as explained in wookipedia) wouldn't take effect as with the material used to make the blade isn't strong enough without cortosis weave.
@betheperson1 yes and no. A vibroblade has a magnetic lacing which basically gives it a forcefield. THAT is what stops the lightsaber... therefore, anything with that lacing can stop a lightsaber. and there are actually other materials which are resistant to it as well.
That blowtorch consumes about 2700W. That is alot for a blowtorch, but one single house consumes much more. Which makes the energy of the blowtorch ever more amazing. Or just the way we use our houses utterly ridiculus.
If the plasma is confined using a magnetic field, as was suggested, then won't the interaction between the magnetic fields of two lightsabres create the physical clashing effect? Then you wouldn't need the solid ceramic core, which really goes against what Star Wars had in mind.
remember when a 128 meg hard drive was the size of a mellon? now i can carry 16 gigs on something the size of my fingernail. soo, maybe we'll have lightsabers soon. no more medieval swords for me!

@moxinnoliblast except that the reason it can't cut a vibrosword is because the have a cortosis weave on them... so really it's only two things. Armor was also made with Cortosis but it equired much more and the ore is VERY expensive.

lightsabers are coverded by same magnetic fields which stops them from going into each other by "blowing them from each other" but it still can cut through virtually anything

A lightsaber exactly like the one explained in wookipedia will never be possible. because with the lightsabers in the movies, games, shows etc. the blade is housed inside a coating of the force which keeps it together. the force however does not exist.

not the Force, but a force field. basically a magnetic container.

@MSKproductions123456 Sorry. you are mistaken. a lightsaber has NOTHING to due with the force. Not directly at least. a saber is pure technology. (even in StarWars)

That's not entirely true. In the Star Wars universe, it took millennia to master the technology behind personal lightsabers. They evolved from very primitive ones that required an entire backpack reactor in order to power it, then over the next couple thousand years, they refined it and built smaller and more robust power cells to put in the blade shaft. I believe we will do it the same way, continually improving throughout many years to achieve the technology behind lightsabers.

or take 3 125wat lasers duck them together build something to keep them then build the body of the light saber put them in and done u can burn things with it really quick
gang1337grace 10 months ago
well, make a steel rod wear you can heat it up in a different color, it will make a lighten up appearence and would cut through stuff but not as easy

NO
NOT CERAMIC SWORDS!
the only this lightsabers cant get through other than another lightsaber is a vibroblade.

@betheperson1 And anyone with more than half a brain will immediately put 2 and 2 together and decide "vibroblades are clearly made with ceramics!" thus completely negating your objection.

I am sorry but you are incorrect.
look up vibroblade in wookiepedia.
good day sir.

@betheperson1 Cortosis, more specifically. I know someone else probably already pointed it out, but I just wanted to seem like I knew what I was talking about. ^.^
NikolaiCarpathia 10 months ago
@betheperson1 But that's still making sense in the concept that "lightsabers" = some form of energy and energy > matter but not other energy hence the effect of the vibroblade protects it's material component and why force lightining is deflected/absorbed/drawn to a lightsaber correct?
joemama114 9 months ago
@joemama114
I cant exactly specify how the vibroblade protects it's actual blade from super heated plasma.
im thinking there might be some kind of electromagnetic shielding based in the metal? or maybe it's not metal at all?
i'll look further into it.
betheperson1 9 months ago
@betheperson1 Well that's how they did it in that K.O.T.O.R. video game you could add different batteries to the blade and cause odd or focused resonations in some kind of enegey field that surrounded the blade. I honestly It'd be easier to design some kind of better vibroblade that had an energy field or sonic resonance field or something that made it cut better XD but then again I have no physics training so it may be more complicated I got no clue.
joemama114 9 months ago
@betheperson1 WRONG! It needs cortosis weave for it to be able to stop a lightsaber. Check with Trask Ulgo in the beginning of Kotor when you go onto the bridge. Yea, I said it. If your gonna nerdly correct someone, do it right. Necros out. lmao
DarthNecros215 9 months ago
@DarthNecros215
Yes, But all vibroblades are made through cortosis weave.
If they weren't, it would be next to useless.
Thats why they are effective in KOTOR. because they have already undergone the process of corotosis weave. if your going to nerdly correct some-one, do it right...
betheperson1 9 months ago
@betheperson1 Cannonly speaking (and a touch of developer) not ALL vibroblades have cortosis weave (in game, yes, they all did. But honestly that would just waste to make a 'completely' new weapon series just to fit it into the cannon). It was a very common thing to put cortosis weave on it, but there were still quite a few that didn't.
DarthNecros215 8 months ago
@DarthNecros215
Ok first, there is a reason they are called vibroblades, it is because of the massive amounts vibration it gives off to make slicing easier, without corotosis weave, it's just a blade.
Cannonly speaking, it wouldn't at all be a waste creating somewhat of a new weapons genre. it's not so different from the lightsaber, nor is it a totally different genre of armament.
So yes, there were a few who didn't undergo corotosis weave, they were called knives and swords, the end :)
betheperson1 8 months ago
@betheperson1 Cortosis weave is a protective outer casing, not a material to make the sword or whatever you think it is. What makes a vibroblade a vibroblade is a small emitter in the hilt that VIBRATES the blade, making basically any cut you get 5X more potent. A cortosis weave was used on (basically) all Vibroblades in the KOTOR timeline, which is the reason they didn't need a down graded version without it.
DarthNecros215 8 months ago
@betheperson1 Sorry, my mistake. Not an outer coating. It's fused with the metal.
DarthNecros215 8 months ago
@DarthNecros215
Cortosis weave, no matter what form it takes, is both the method used to create the outer casing and is the outer casing. for the emitter to actually activate, there has to be the outside casing of cortosis weave or else it would simply fall apart.
If they were to create a vibroblade without using cortosis weave, the emitter (as explained in wookipedia) wouldn't take effect as with the material used to make the blade isn't strong enough without cortosis weave.
betheperson1 8 months ago
@betheperson1 yes and no. A vibroblade has a magnetic lacing which basically gives it a forcefield. THAT is what stops the lightsaber... therefore, anything with that lacing can stop a lightsaber. and there are actually other materials which are resistant to it as well.

you can make cold plasma and use that to cover hot plasma shoot it out a barrel and boom you have a plasma gun. much better than a laser.

That blowtorch consumes about 2700W. That is alot for a blowtorch, but one single house consumes much more. Which makes the energy of the blowtorch ever more amazing. Or just the way we use our houses utterly ridiculus.

@David1531992 ..it's not a blowtorch... it's a plasma cutter. YES, there actually is a rather large difference, although their function is similar

If the plasma is confined using a magnetic field, as was suggested, then won't the interaction between the magnetic fields of two lightsabres create the physical clashing effect? Then you wouldn't need the solid ceramic core, which really goes against what Star Wars had in mind.
