10:55 Kinda. Originally George Lucas wanted to use reflective tape and the studio lights to make the lightsabers glow white. The lightsabers had rotating motors in the hilts that spun the blades and made a pulsing effect. As a result, the actors could only lightly tap the lightsabers during the fight, which is why the duel in the original movie looked so simple. In the end, the lighting effect barely worked, so the went with rotoscoping instead, and made the blades blue and red.

He's not wrong in a more technical sense: just as "raygun gothic" is based on an era of science fiction where writers were enamored with the idea that mass and energy might be interchangeable and this ended up leading them to postulate all kinds of strange "cosmic energies" out there for humanity to discover capable of doing things like reversing aging or turning cheese into gold, steampunk is basically steam technology with your description of "steam" not having to match the limits of real world physics. The aesthetic is a case of form following hypothetical function.

from what i can recall of the various bits of books that even try to explain the workings of lightsabers, it is a superconducting plasma loop that is contained ether magnetically or by essentially inverted shields. it only really drains power during activation or when cutting. the power supply is pretty hefty, the only case i remember of one being drained wasn't due to use but as a security measure after the jedi was arrested, and recharging it took some time and drained about a dozen blaster rifle power packs.

I think he meant the ones with the full reactor mechanism. For example, the one used in voyager1/2 was just u238 (so not enriched) with a bit of plutonium to generate the heat just by the nuclear decay and not with a chain reaction. I saw on the wiki page that there were some fission based designs, but didn't want to go down that rabbithole. (if you want to look it up yourself, search for "radioisotope thermoelectric generator" or just "nuclear battery")
@aRealAndHumanManThing5 ай бұрын
They don’t sent the “normal” kind of nuclear reactors into space, they use Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) they essentially just have a chunk of radioactive material that heats up and they generate energy from the heat. On one of the Mars rovers I think the RTG was like 60 kg and only generated 200 W. They don’t moderate or speed up the process like they do with conventional nuclear power plants, instead they just rely on the natural decay of the material. You can even get tiny “betavoltaic” “batteries” that absorb the radiation created by the decay of the radioactive material and convert that into electricity, they generate very little power, the only commercially available ones generate around 100 uW in a relatively normal DiP chip.

A few futurists/scientists claimed you would need a nuclear reactor, a star, or all the energy in the universe to power a real lightsaber. The original concept of and lightsaber was basically a cathode/canal ray powered by a Tesla coil power supply, with a crystal in the beam emitter to provide a visible frequency. Since the beam is charged, it will be shaped by electrical charges of the right polarity/frequency, or magnetic fields. Almost none of the lightsaber experimenters go back to try the original concept.

Steampunk is an aesthetic. It's not so much that it actually has to involve steam, it's more like 19th century, age of steam, materials and designs. Leather, brass, wood, gears, pure analogue tech. A nuclear reactor isn't steampunk, because atompunk is also a thing. That's more like 40s/50s stylings.

It's a fire-saber...and I love how they keep the top half of the blade out of the shot.... as far as surgery, actual plasma is what, 12,000 -14,000' F? (The proto-saber is 4,000F although I think the actual gauge for plasma isn't temp, but free movement of the electrons) The heat transfer from something the size of a light saber that size and temp is going to roast all of the surrounding tissue instantly while causing all the moisture in the area to instantly turn to steam, It would probably cause severe burns from a few feet away, if not just causing stuff near it to combust, though I have to verify the actual distance that much heat would radiate.

Question for ya. Lightsabers (According to the lore) can cut through all matter except another lightsaber. All matter is made of atoms surrounded by electrons. If a lightsaber blade consisted of positrons, it would (Theoretically) be able to pass through all matter, but not another lightsaber blade, right? If the blade was a stream of positrons coming out of the hilt, and then bowing back into it, it would reconstitute itself like a long loop. In the original book, "A New Hope," the blade emits no heat. The burning effect would only happen as the result of the positrons shearing through the electrons of the matter that it's going against. How would that theory sound to you? Love your videos -especially the Sam O' Nella ones. That guy is hilarious!

But I'll still watch your reaction because I like your content haha
@weyderwarr5 ай бұрын
I want to politely point out that the person replying to you in that video is unlikely to be the entire crew. Isn't that jumping on conclusion a bit much? There is also the common case that larger channels tend to hire people to scour through their comments (ye know, to avoid mental breakdown and other such stuff that tends to happen when you try to be devoted and read through yer comment section yerself) so in all honesty, you could have just gotten a reply one of the interns or side staff. Or hell, just someone having a bad day. I doubt you have never had one of those and started a rant somewhere no? It is a good idea to avoid taking everything at face value after all. I ain't just trying to defend them as some fan, I barely watch their content in fact. Also, I just and went to check how much in cubic meters of Uranium it would weigh (the size is roughly 0.0076 and some extra in cubic meters). That would make the hammer head weigh around 145 kg. Though ye wana know what that would cost on average to buy all that Uranium? Around 10000 bucks. And that is the unprocessed version. Depleted uranium is around 40 bucks *per gram.* That would mean the price for the full hammer would be around 5.8 million US dollars. So yeah, not even remotely feasible or a good idea to attempt to make unless you are a bored and extremely wealthy person and don't expect any profits to be made from the video you are making about it. So yeah, it _is_ a silly idea. : P Heavier? Sure, but not feasible. But due to that I can see how you were making a joke, but remember, there are plenty of people that can and did make a serious comment in that video about using depleted uranium, so unless it was very obvious you were joking, I don't think you should take what they said to heart. Though yes, the comment was rude for calling you an idiot. Mentioning that, I would love to see the copy of that comment (or yours) so I can atl see the level of rudeness that person threw at ye. Hell, a clip of your comment would be more than enough. Of course, you are free to refuse. Truth be told I could not find yer comment when I went back to search through the comment section of that video with some aid tools that allow me to search for specific comments (used Uranium as a key phrase for the search). Many hundreds of uranium comments but didn't find yours unfortunately. Did they perhaps delete yer comment then?

Haha definitely likely to be an intern or social media employee, but it left a bad taste in my mouth nonetheless. And it was meant to be a silly suggestion, I understand that it's not feasible. Tungsten has roughly the same density and is far more affordable. I don't remember exactly what I said because it was several years ago and it only crosses my mind when I see the channel name but, knowing myself, it was probably heavy in sarcasm. The joke either went over the head of whoever read it on their team or it pushed exactly the right buttons. Wouldn't surprise me if their PR team made them remove it because their response made them look very unprofessional.

This was really cool to see, I'd be interested in seeing your reaction to their test video too.
Ditto!
Their channel is absolutely full of amazing projects, from batarangs and flamethrowers to Iron Man-inspired flying equipment and mechs. Highly recommend you to check out more of their stuff. Spoiler alert: It includes a non-"proto" plasma saber.
10:55 Kinda. Originally George Lucas wanted to use reflective tape and the studio lights to make the lightsabers glow white. The lightsabers had rotating motors in the hilts that spun the blades and made a pulsing effect. As a result, the actors could only lightly tap the lightsabers during the fight, which is why the duel in the original movie looked so simple. In the end, the lighting effect barely worked, so the went with rotoscoping instead, and made the blades blue and red.
Steampunk has a cool look to it, it also has technology as advanced as what we have, but steam powered, not run on oil, petrol or electricity. Imagine the mid-19th century look frozen but progress kept advancing so everything has that aesthetic, clothing, weapons, transportation, architecture.
I love him trying to figure out what steampunk means lol, it means it looks very old school and mechanical, for example the old sawmills or a steam engine
I like how he assumed it involved actual steam rather than just a design aesthetic
the pipes are functional though I believe, since they need the two pipes for the propane and oxygen.
He's not wrong in a more technical sense: just as "raygun gothic" is based on an era of science fiction where writers were enamored with the idea that mass and energy might be interchangeable and this ended up leading them to postulate all kinds of strange "cosmic energies" out there for humanity to discover capable of doing things like reversing aging or turning cheese into gold, steampunk is basically steam technology with your description of "steam" not having to match the limits of real world physics. The aesthetic is a case of form following hypothetical function.
Pretty sure that is how most engineers think when they come across a new thing or concept.
You should revise your perception of what steam punk is. Your definition is too broad and encompass every past technology. Steam punk is rooted in Victorian era and uses steam in a magic, all powerfull, main energy source. It relys and riveted copper and brass look, and uses many umprobable pressure chambers and tubing to achieve the look.
from what i can recall of the various bits of books that even try to explain the workings of lightsabers, it is a superconducting plasma loop that is contained ether magnetically or by essentially inverted shields. it only really drains power during activation or when cutting. the power supply is pretty hefty, the only case i remember of one being drained wasn't due to use but as a security measure after the jedi was arrested, and recharging it took some time and drained about a dozen blaster rifle power packs.
You should check out their latest version, the Lightsaber Staff.
Hacksmith is one of my favorite channels. I'd also recommend some of their videos on flying like Iron Man, or really any of their Make It Real series.
Thanks for the reaction. It is so interesting learning facts from you and your experience in the nuclear industry
These guys have build some pretty bonkers stuff so far. You should check out some more!
That is impressive as both a feat of engineering and work of art. I want one. Yes, we want to see the test video! No matter how old I get, or how much of a hurry I'm in, I like doing the Obi Wan Kenobi hand wave, when I walk through automatic doors. It's practically a reflex now. It'd be really fun if I got one of those Styropyro Tesla Death Coils. I could pretend I'm force zapping stuff then. Except if I tried that, I'd probably die.
He already sold the lightsaber to someone
Nah, we still have it!@@YourLightning28
@@theHacksmith Oh. I saw on one of your vids that you sold it.
the Hacksmith also has a powerloader as from the alien movie .. well as close as they can get. Yes this is a nice channel and in there Ironman gauntlet video they use a laser they got from your favorite pyro. I await many move videos from them
... not, plasma though....
Absolutely see the test video. It’s awesome. Happy Thanksgiving!
Really what we need are blasters. Especially if it can replace short range artillery.
The test video is a lot of fun, I'd definitely recommend it.
Yo these guys are amazing.... I used to watch him when it was basicly himself and like a few of his friends now he has a whole company, there like if Tony Stark, let Luther, and Lucis fox (batman gadget guy) combined with how much cool stuff they have made
I guess it will take someone a bit nerdier than me to find to exact power formulae of a Kyber Crystal, but since they were also used to power The First Order's "Planet(s) Killer Weapon"; power to weight/mass HAS TO BE off the charts!
A chunk of uranium that would fit in the hilt of the lightsaber. Almost certainly has enough power output to power a plasma-based lightsaber, The problem is you have to find a way to make a nuclear reactor that fits in the hilt of a lightsaber
@@the_undead The biggest issue with it is how to actually generate the plasma with something other than a combustible fluid/gas. Back when they were using a battery to power their prototypes, it was with solid-core blades. They used the electric output to heat the blade's core by effectively making a short circuit. Without that physical blade, what would the power from the reactor even do?
@@the_undead A Shakeweight Sized Fusion Reactor. Use TIIIIINNNEEEEEEE Uranium235 Rods submerged in barium heavy water, and as you move the power slider, it exposes the Uranium Rods to the air, and powers up the lightsaber.
That was awesome. We have to see them using it.
11:57 I love how he says it hurts to look at it then tells you to look at it.
Definitely worth watching more on these guys they have made things from the power loader suit from Alien to a mini Tesla cybertruck that’s stronger than a ford f150
Thanks! =)
i WISH i had a teacher like you in school. id have learned a lot more.
Not sure if other comments have said it. But Steampunk is purely a visual thing.. doesnt usually add innovative technologies to a way something works.. But it 100% makes it look cool lol like some of my outfits are steampunk with renascence shirts and armor
That was awesome.... Great job.
Fun fact, If you mix borax with denatured alcohol like you would use in a patio torch, that alcohol will also produce a green flame
I believe the optimum fuel to air mix for propane to make an FAE (fuel air explosive) is around 2 to 10 percent by volume.
I'd also like to add some "fireballs" from a rapid ignition of a large quantity flamable matter can look a lot like a mushroom cloud even tho it's not quite the same thing , being a significantly smaller and more short lived aswell event
The Mythbusters non-dairy creamer combustion event for one example.
Thansk for the regular vids, been smashing them......and the like button ofc :P you said the smallest nuclear powerplants were those that can fit in trucks, could you do a vid on the smallest ones that go to space =)? super interested
I think he meant the ones with the full reactor mechanism. For example, the one used in voyager1/2 was just u238 (so not enriched) with a bit of plutonium to generate the heat just by the nuclear decay and not with a chain reaction. I saw on the wiki page that there were some fission based designs, but didn't want to go down that rabbithole. (if you want to look it up yourself, search for "radioisotope thermoelectric generator" or just "nuclear battery")
They don’t sent the “normal” kind of nuclear reactors into space, they use Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) they essentially just have a chunk of radioactive material that heats up and they generate energy from the heat. On one of the Mars rovers I think the RTG was like 60 kg and only generated 200 W. They don’t moderate or speed up the process like they do with conventional nuclear power plants, instead they just rely on the natural decay of the material. You can even get tiny “betavoltaic” “batteries” that absorb the radiation created by the decay of the radioactive material and convert that into electricity, they generate very little power, the only commercially available ones generate around 100 uW in a relatively normal DiP chip.
Hacksmith is really good, great channel i absolutely recommend the cutting video too
Yep, testing video is awsome. Please do it!
Borax is used for many things such as a water softener and as a flux for forge welding steel. It's also used as a timber preservative.
Boric acid powder was used a lot in my town as a roach killer. Also as a coloring for various rocket engines. Ah, the memories.🤪
A few futurists/scientists claimed you would need a nuclear reactor, a star, or all the energy in the universe to power a real lightsaber. The original concept of and lightsaber was basically a cathode/canal ray powered by a Tesla coil power supply, with a crystal in the beam emitter to provide a visible frequency. Since the beam is charged, it will be shaped by electrical charges of the right polarity/frequency, or magnetic fields. Almost none of the lightsaber experimenters go back to try the original concept.
Mushroom cloud shape comes from the intense heat of explosions, in Houdini we ramp up the temperature attribute for that shape.
Yes it sounds awsome
Fun fact! OR's use self-cauterizing tools to make incisions, just like you hypothesized lightsabers would function
Kyle Hill did a video ages ago about lightsabers, and came to the conclusion, that lightsabers aren't exactly elegant and (more importantly) clean weapons: a majority of the human body is made out of water.... and water expands when you heat / vapor it .... a lot
Science is magic if you are smart enough
magic is physics we don't understand or just poeple capping
Now we need an episode of King of the Hill where he sales Lightsabers and Lightsaber accessories.
Another Hacksmith project I strongly recommend is their Powerloader build from the Aliens franchise.
“Uranium is just another hot rock.”-T.Folse nuclear
Man, I love your thumbnails. They're awesome.
Thanks!!
Do a reaction to their iron man helmet and plasma drill
8:27 Hank Hill would bpth be the most powerful Force User in canon and have a monopoly on Lightsabers and Lightsaber Accessories
The King of the Hill reference had me burst out laughing 🤣
I can't get over how insanely dangerous this is. I wanna try it.
Boric acid can also be used as a flux in ceramic glazes.
Fellow worker in the nuclear industry, Specifically cyclotrons. Love the channel
Thanks!!
Tyler you strangely look like my chemistry teacher he is one of my favorite teachers so nice 👍
Steampunk is an aesthetic. It's not so much that it actually has to involve steam, it's more like 19th century, age of steam, materials and designs. Leather, brass, wood, gears, pure analogue tech. A nuclear reactor isn't steampunk, because atompunk is also a thing. That's more like 40s/50s stylings.
It's a fire-saber...and I love how they keep the top half of the blade out of the shot.... as far as surgery, actual plasma is what, 12,000 -14,000' F? (The proto-saber is 4,000F although I think the actual gauge for plasma isn't temp, but free movement of the electrons) The heat transfer from something the size of a light saber that size and temp is going to roast all of the surrounding tissue instantly while causing all the moisture in the area to instantly turn to steam, It would probably cause severe burns from a few feet away, if not just causing stuff near it to combust, though I have to verify the actual distance that much heat would radiate.
Hank Hill absolutely could sell this. Top moment of the react for me, lol.
My current Sim, Princess Kitty Katt dresses like Princess Leia and has a spaceship called the Eon Eagle, recently I sent her on a space mission in the Astronaut job and she met Yoda who gave her a lightsaber that can be used as a wall light and adds a +2 to her Moodlets depending on which colour it is and a Grogu doll that adds a +3 to her Playful Mood so she can "Play With The Jets" (wink wink) in her hot tub. Yeah, I play The Sims. I make them rich and popular, let them think everything is right in the world then kill them in the funniest ways that look like an accident, move a new Sim into their home and start over.
I think the sounds are either video editing or speakers in the protosaber
i think the real math on a movie saber if also the power to control the beam
For the death star laser, I remember someone stating that the power requirement would be equal to a 7km globe of anti-matter. How real that is I do not know.
My personal opinion/theory is that the kyber crystal is something like an energy amplifier/transformer that outputs more energy than what goes into them and everything else that goes is typically stuffed into the lightsaber hilts are just something similar to what you would expect from doing when you are building a custom labtop/computer with the power cell needing a recharge ( depending on how often/heavily you use it) I’d say that they’d have something like one to six years to multiple decades of power retention before they’d need to be recharged or something like a power cell replacement
And the original trilogy movies (Star Wars Episodes 4,5,6) prop lightsabers were a hilt that had a motor mounted inside the blades where a durable stick that had reflective tape attached and then they’d spin really really fast so they would look like a glowing rod add in in post production a red-blue-green tinting to them and there you go
5:20 Nuclear power is under a subset of Sci-Fi called Atom-Punk
I like their idea of invention. I love the of react video. Let's see if you can take this to the next level. Perhaps a collaboration.
as for self cauterizing we already have that with what i work on at Olympus. we have a double set up of ESG-400 and a USG-400 that can first use ultrasonic frequencies through a tip to cut the flesh while using high voltage to seal the flesh at the same time. butttttt ill admit still not near as cool as this would be though :)
It was the Hank Hill joke that made me subscribe 😂😂
For the death star to work, you would need to turn Mt. Everest into energy.
"This actually hurts to look at. Look at that"
the hank hill joke got my sub lmao
incorporate ceramics for heat dissipation? not sure if there is space material effective enough
They already made a fily self containe one, which is more of a light pike than a saber, but stil very cool.
7:22 yes,that's how a machining shop usually works.
These guys are from my hometown!
Welcome to the channel that successfully made infantry-based energy weapons!
Make sure to watch rhe testing video for the lightsaber, its where they actually use the thing.
found yourself a gem of a channel :d
Question for ya. Lightsabers (According to the lore) can cut through all matter except another lightsaber. All matter is made of atoms surrounded by electrons. If a lightsaber blade consisted of positrons, it would (Theoretically) be able to pass through all matter, but not another lightsaber blade, right? If the blade was a stream of positrons coming out of the hilt, and then bowing back into it, it would reconstitute itself like a long loop. In the original book, "A New Hope," the blade emits no heat. The burning effect would only happen as the result of the positrons shearing through the electrons of the matter that it's going against. How would that theory sound to you? Love your videos -especially the Sam O' Nella ones. That guy is hilarious!
On the subject of nuclear steampunk, I had an idea for an alternate universe where early research on radioactivity in the 1890s led to some discovery of decay heat. Later experiments might have led to plutonium production and an eventual critical reactor. @tfolsenuclear If you ever feel like doing a Q and A video, that would be an intetsting question - just how early in history could we have created a nuclear reactor?
Hacksmith Industries channel is amazing, hope you'll watch more from them!
Adam Savage joined the chat, as well as StyroPyro.
Gotta love a thanksgiving lightsaber hehe
11:54 “That hurts to look at. Look at that!”
Bro did the flame test
Watch them testing it out
I’ve seen the testing video, and you want to see it too
what if they had the actual plasma - blade almost spin? like you know how on steam stacks, you look at the steam when it comes out and it is swirling about, and eventually turns into a big puff of smoke, but i was told it spins because the way the metal on the outside is plated and the on coming wind interacts with that to spin, well what is the tip on the inside had the same arrangement, or maybe even a fan to make the gas and flame swirl and so that it is more stable, and to be able to put more fuel, and more heat without it being to short or to... fizzled out? and make it even more hot!
i probably have no idea what i'm talking about but if i'm correct why not do it?
Purple flames come from metal salts, such as potassium and rubidium
hey Mom! that's the guy from U'r painting! wow! Jesus had a ''plasma'' light saber!! Amazing!
I want the "sub space" pocket weapon storage system from Ultraviolet
Gotta watch their most recent one the self contained lightsaber pike
Hacksmith is top 3 youtube channels to me. in existence. they make.. Mechs.. Exosuits.. Everything awesome really lol
Hank hill is a jedi confirmed
you could use a RTG, Pu238 is nice and warm
Had to like the vid for the Hank hill reference lol
It’s not a guard. The reason the saber has mini blades on the side is to vent out extra, because Kylo Ren uses an unstable red crystal… which is very dangerous
Everyone support Hacksmith by buying their mini saber. It's a butane torch with color change inserts. I have one it's cool AF.
They now sell a Mini-Saber on their website! You should check it out. Happy Thanksgiving!
you mean a mini torch cuz none of the things he makes are lightsabers, just elaborate torches
@@Aqsticgod Hate to break it to you, but that's kinda all a real lightsaber is. 😅🤣
Cudent a magnetic confinment rod be plased inside of the plasma blade
You should really watch their process on building the power-loader from the Movie Alien. Loooong process but very interesting to follow.
Maybe if they had a plasma self contained by an inner core capacitor that has a strong high voltage filled capacitor that is activated by microwaves.
I will extend for you anytime, Tyler...
It’d be funny if radioactive rocks become kyber crystals
Yes wthach the test an the oter part
I remember when they made their first thors hammer video a few years ago where the hammer was made of lead. I commented on it and jokingly suggested that they should have made it out depleted uranium instead to make it heavier and surprisingly they responded (they were big then too) and went on a super defensive tirade calling me an idiot amongst other things. I must have really pushed their buttons. I kind of lost whatever respect I had for the channel after that and haven't watched their videos since. But I'll still watch your reaction because I like your content haha
I want to politely point out that the person replying to you in that video is unlikely to be the entire crew. Isn't that jumping on conclusion a bit much? There is also the common case that larger channels tend to hire people to scour through their comments (ye know, to avoid mental breakdown and other such stuff that tends to happen when you try to be devoted and read through yer comment section yerself) so in all honesty, you could have just gotten a reply one of the interns or side staff. Or hell, just someone having a bad day. I doubt you have never had one of those and started a rant somewhere no? It is a good idea to avoid taking everything at face value after all. I ain't just trying to defend them as some fan, I barely watch their content in fact. Also, I just and went to check how much in cubic meters of Uranium it would weigh (the size is roughly 0.0076 and some extra in cubic meters). That would make the hammer head weigh around 145 kg. Though ye wana know what that would cost on average to buy all that Uranium? Around 10000 bucks. And that is the unprocessed version. Depleted uranium is around 40 bucks *per gram.* That would mean the price for the full hammer would be around 5.8 million US dollars. So yeah, not even remotely feasible or a good idea to attempt to make unless you are a bored and extremely wealthy person and don't expect any profits to be made from the video you are making about it. So yeah, it _is_ a silly idea. : P Heavier? Sure, but not feasible. But due to that I can see how you were making a joke, but remember, there are plenty of people that can and did make a serious comment in that video about using depleted uranium, so unless it was very obvious you were joking, I don't think you should take what they said to heart. Though yes, the comment was rude for calling you an idiot. Mentioning that, I would love to see the copy of that comment (or yours) so I can atl see the level of rudeness that person threw at ye. Hell, a clip of your comment would be more than enough. Of course, you are free to refuse. Truth be told I could not find yer comment when I went back to search through the comment section of that video with some aid tools that allow me to search for specific comments (used Uranium as a key phrase for the search). Many hundreds of uranium comments but didn't find yours unfortunately. Did they perhaps delete yer comment then?
Haha definitely likely to be an intern or social media employee, but it left a bad taste in my mouth nonetheless. And it was meant to be a silly suggestion, I understand that it's not feasible. Tungsten has roughly the same density and is far more affordable. I don't remember exactly what I said because it was several years ago and it only crosses my mind when I see the channel name but, knowing myself, it was probably heavy in sarcasm. The joke either went over the head of whoever read it on their team or it pushed exactly the right buttons. Wouldn't surprise me if their PR team made them remove it because their response made them look very unprofessional.
@@Elmithian you have a habit of starting random rants?
@@Elmithian I see you also went on a tirade after the OP mentioned he only jokingly said they should make the hammer out of depleted uranium. Not once, but twice now.
@@ArtisChronicles Twice? I only commented once? Also, if you like what he is saying over my comment, then I do recommend liking his comments like I did. The thing about the uranium was me having fun calculating it and finding the rough measurement from the wrong end (easiest would just calculate from the weight of the hammer they used and multiply by around 1.67). It was not me criticising him in any way or form. I would _love_ to see a radioactive hammer. But I am pretty sure they would have difficulty making such a small handle that can, well, handle that weight (and could afford it). And yes, I like to make lengthy comments. That is just how I am. You can feel free to make multiple comments for every paragraph you make, but that isn't really my thing.
“Uranium it’s just a hot rock.” Well, are you ignoring the fact that it is radioactive?
