James Hobson, better known as The Hacksmith online, has built the world’s first retractable lightsaber. It was modeled after the ones used by Jedi Knights, attached to tanks of liquid propane gas and oxygen gas to create the high level of heat required to make the plasma beam. Once turned on, the beam heats up to an immense 2,204 °C (4,000°F), meaning it can slice through just about anything. The colors of the beam can be manipulated with different kinds of salts infused with the heat.
Why did James build this? His mission has always been to take fictional ideas from comics, movies as well as video games and make real working prototypes as a way to inspire youth into the arts. He left his job early as a product developer to dedicate his entire life to making custom engineered mechanisms that many have only seen in movies.
