holy moleh😮
The shelf?
Will it light a cigarette or will it ruin can it light a bowl will it break the glass just need to know cause kinda want to buy one or two for my parents
I'm on Android with KZhead Premium. There is no shelf.
I love how casually he said "let's play with liquid oxygen" immediately after telling us how dangerous it is. Exactly what I'd expect from a sci-engineering/infotainment channel.
Fun personal experience: for about a year, I worked in a silicon wafer manufacturing facility with Class 10 clean rooms. No perfume, cologne, makeup, or even deodorant was allowed on the people working in there. And no skin exposed. Everybody had to wear full body suits that were sealed, and goggles that even had small air filters in them.
I want that lightsaber emoji thing. But I'm broke
Full bodysuits, and no makeup? How on earth would that matter if you are completely and entirely covered and isolated from environment,as should be? 😮
@@margodphd I mean why even bother wearing makeup if you're in a full suit? So, I guess it's better not to if somehow accidently some things inside leaks out.
cool! what for? the silicon wafer's, i mean.
@@-Jess.- silicon wafers are most likely used for circuit production
I absolutely adore how they made "Hacksmith Laboratories" look like the aperture science logo!
Nice catch
"We do what we must, because we can."
They better not have a neurotoxin generator, or they’d be screwed.
And the Hacksmith Industries logo is a nod to Stark Industries What's next? They get into biomechanical monsters for fun and found Hacksmith Corporation?
Next thing you know, James works with lunar dust and contracts the poison. Time to upload to SMiTHI
Alright no lie, just got it for Christmas, and This is without a doubt the coolest thing I own, I was worried it would just feel like an over glorified lighter but it makes me feel like I want to take down an empire and learn the ways of a magical telekinetic power from an old muppet. From the metallic design to the green flame(thought I would be blue first oh my god it was epic seeing it was green out the box) and a token that says I have helped in the development of the world’s first lightsaber… y’all keep up all the incredible things y’all are doing as y’all really are turning movies and the dreams of being in those worlds into reality. Merry Christmas, may the force be with y’all, happy new year and all that jazz to everyone at hacksmith industries.
Aww, thanks for the heck of a review! Glad you love it! 🥰
This a paid conment for sure
@@dylanperry3735 you underestimate the power of the force
@@humanerror7 you right the force makes people do stupid things lmfao
@@dylanperry3735 Go and take your negativity somewhere else, bud.
Imagine getting robbed and then you whip out a lightsaber 😂
then you whip out a glorified lighter*
@@Quifuh I mean it is a good lighter
@@Itsme-qn7sp its a badass lighter is what you wanted to say
I had the same thought against home intruders hahaha
Hello there
So happy to see KZhead sponsoring this video! You definitely deserve it, so proud of how far you've come. Hope you take the time to appreciate what you've built now and then.
dunno why but the overall vibe of your videos has really settled into something fun and inspirational. Maybe you're less stressed now or something, but it feels relaxed like hanging out with cool friends.
How far the hacksmith came is mind blowing While watched you earlier you were just making Marvel items in real life and then a destroying stuff montage Now , the hacksmith is like an industry Too happy for you my man Keep going
I bought one of the mini lightsabers when you were doing the million dollar fundraiser campaign, and it's absolutely amazing. I used it for a few hours on the 4th of July and had no issues. I didn't even have to refill it
Glad you love it!
@@theHacksmithfor the next big project, can you create a device that allows you to cast Captain America's shield like how it was made in the comics? The device appeared in who wouldn't wield the shield vol 1 1 and Captain America: sentinel of liberty vol 2 3.
@@Vibranium_man that’s a good idea
where can I find the shelf @@theHacksmith

Congratulations! I been watching you guys on and off for some years; and I feel this is a very well deserved milestone for you guys. You didn't just all of a suddenly release this lightsaber product, it's been a long grueling endeavor that we've been following you guy's through this entire time. So if the admiration of a complete stranger matter's any to you guys, you have mine and I'm very impressed with what you guy's have done with this channel, and I wanted to express that by congratulating you guy's; imo you truly deserve this success.
It's amazing how fare he's come. A legendary smith to be remembered for the ages. I'm honored to be apart of your subscriber group 🙏
The use of liquid oxygen is actually perfect because if somebody assembles his lightsaber wrong, it will quite literally explode, just like in the lore. Edit: Tysm for the likes :0
🤣
I bought a mini saber long time ago. Finally it arrived at home and i love it
“What makes ma a good demoman?”
Oxygen doesn’t burn, that’s what makes it perfect, the fact that it doesn’t explode
@@Zebbers1031 WELL IF I WERE A BAD DEMOMAN I WOULDN'T BE HERE DISCUSSING IT WITH YOU NOW WOULD I
I like how your calling them lightsabers cause the fact its now kind of possible is really cool but at the same time thinking about what this thing actually is in the way it functions, I find it insane that youve figured out a way to literally sell functional handheld rocket engines legally. I love it
It’s basically just a big version of a jet lighter you’ve been able to buy for decades at any store.
The team at Hacksmith Industries actually do things that most people don’t even think of. It’s crazy 🤯.
I love how well volatility just hones in everyone's focus and attention. The safe, sane, and fun demonstrations of it. Baby sabers are dope.
Oh my Sweet Celestia I love the logo design with aperture science. And I'd say it's accurate because you guys are the embodiment of "Science is about WHY NOT?!" Also love how the videos are feeling now and am really excited to seeing more content
Glad somebody noticed! I love recreating Sci fi logos for HERC!
I notoced too. That's what happens when you constantly play portal 2
nice a brony
When can you see it excatly?
Everywhere! The Hacksmith laboratories logo
they started off from making fun silly inventions to literally becoming self taught scientists. been watching for a very long time (around 4 years). GOODLUCK HACKSMITH!
I'm sooo happy and proud of you all at Hacksmith. Very happy I got to back you guys by getting a white mini gen 2. 😊 Thx from WI
The things you guys do on KZhead is awesome. I’ve been watching since the earlier lightsaber videos and every advancement blows my mind. Can’t wait to see what comes next and might just have to grab one of those mini sabers!
So happy to be a part of the development of a real saber. My girlfriend is going to get tired of me lighting all her candles with my mini-saber and making all these sound effects 😂
I know no one will see this, but I just want to say how amazing you guys are. From your Garage to the H.E.R.C facility I've watched every video. I've forgotten how long or at what amount of people I subscribed to you guys at cause it was so long ago. But I want to thank you guys for everything you're doing, pushing the boundaries and inspiring generations of engineers, chemists, physicists and rocket scientists. Keep up the amazing work, can't wait for the 'We Amputated this Guy's Limbs and turned him into Darth Vader' video. But seriously, you guys are awesome. Edit: Sooo, a couple people saw it... lol
They saw it!
they're gonna see it brother, don't worry
Since you edited the comment, KZhead autoremoved their like.
Love all of you, Appreciate what y'all are doing
I'm a fan from the Philippines, I've been following this channel since you created a Kings men umbrella. You guys are amazing, making the impossible to possible. keep it up!
James I've gotta say that you have accidentally made me feel emotional during this episode. This episode put into perspective how far your team but especially you have come in the 9 years that I've been watching your videos and watching the legacy you have literally built into today. I sincerely and eagerly await to see a great future for you and your team. Def bought a mini-sabre too.😊
Aww, thanks Luis!
It's crazy how far you guys have come and it's great to see James back in videos with new energy and ideas! Shows how important taking time off can be. It was so cool to see you give a free mini saber to the delivery driver. Acts like that separate you from typical businesses.
This is so awesome. Thank you for making this
I’m so glad you came back and refueled long live nerds and hard work and always remember the true ogs who pushed you knowing you can do it and create awesomeness.
At this point, you guys are going to attract Thanos or Darth Vader himself. Because to be honest, someday you will have made a fully operational Iron Man suit! And k loved the “you guys aren’t ready for it yet, but your kids are gonna love it” Back to the Future reference
Started watching this channel about 7yrs ago when you guys did the Batman grappling hook and Batarang vids, and I have to say, it's astonishing the amount of progress all of you have made in seven years. Well done! Wish all of you nothing but the best of luck and success on your work. Stay awesome!
I got my mini saber pre-ordered a LOOOOONGG time ago, finally came and it beat out my expectations.
Cleanrooms are fun. Worked briefly as IT support at a company with a cleanroom-within-a-cleanroom. As a bonus, they worked with high powered magnets, so there were separator kits every few metres as well.
Not a starwars fan. More of a pirates of the caribbean guy. But I loved watching each lightsaber get more and more realistic. It's an amazing project, with an amazing team!
its good to see that you are beginning the first step of sizing it down so respect and even if you face challenges continue to go on like you have always done with lightsabers or other projects
what nowadays looks like steampunk science for this kind of lightsaber, serves as the foundation for what can come out of it given 50 to 150 years in the future. just imagine what can happen with better tech. so you deserve all the love and respect for being pioneers.
Way more amazing than I expected. Just got my gen2 Today. Great job guys
Can’t believe this is just the beginning of lightsaber tech. Love the new concept to keep everything in the hilt like a true lightsaber! Stay safe and congrats on the success of the mini sabers!!🔥
These guys really push the limit of what’s possible
It's a lighter tho
@@andymiller3366 It's a _Pretty_ Lighter.
@@andymiller3366 thats what a lightsaber basically is anyway
@@andymiller3366 Why do you think there's a LIGHT in Lightsaber, hmm? Either way, it's cool and I like it.
What limit?
Freaking SWEET. Although I shudder to think about the havoc people could get up to with one of these, but I hopefully the cool factor of just having one will outweigh any "sith instincts." And invisible flame that hot is scary. The Hydrogen "pop" in that demonstration practically singed my eyebrows watching at home.
Engineering prowess at its finest. Legendary. ❤️
I can't wait to see where this research goes. I know that some universities are working on ways to make self-contained magnetic fields and then combining that with plasma and laser technology.
I am amazed by amount of explosions and video production put. This grew to insane sizes from the garage boys making some funny things like Thor hammer.
Been watching and enjoying your videos and inventions for quite a while and I'm honored that my first lightsaber is coming from u guys 😁
I got mine a few weeks ago. I have some feedback, if the base gets twisted in some ways, the locking mechanism can fail (not lock), if you put it in and out of the original packaging a few times twisting back and forth to get it out, you might encounter that too. Second, the adjustment ring is lacking range, the flame is way go much to do heat shrink work with it, I need to be able to throttle down more.
Imagine they forgot the "DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME" and some one goes out and goes boom. Also, "A single dust particle... could cause the lightsaber to become a bomb," Lightsabers arrive and are dropped.
all it takes is a trip through FedEx and there’s an assumed terror attack 💀
i just realized watching this vid that i've been subscribed for 7 years to this channel. i remember being in college for engineering when you guys first put out applications for summer interns and thinking to myself that i would have applied if i was single at the time and wouldnt have to leave my then girlfriend in the one time of the year that we didnt have to be long distance. we ended up getting married though so no regrets, but it does feel weird knowing that i had an actual chance of being on this channel that i've somehow spent so long with. love the vids as always, it's amazing to see how far this channel has progressed in my time watching
Have you ever gotten legal threats from Disney over this?
What’s Disney gonna do, they have lightsabers
They don't need legal threats the big lightsabers they created not the small ones are actuall weapons not toys like ones from disney. And they are a real invention.
@@blakebuckley1018 LMFAOOOOOO😂😂😂😂
You guys are awesome and are living the dream. So happy that you are allowing all us nerds this awesome experience, hope everything continues to go well!
All the aperture science references are great to see. Love to see progress on the lightsabers. An idea from Cave Johnson - combustible lemons to but your house down! Probably not legally allowed.
As much as I love the idea the things that could go wrong with a real lightsaber kinda scare me. Be sure to cover all your legal bases Hacksmith Even on these mini ones.
I remember as an elementary school kid watching you guys in awe back in 2016 sad that I didn't have an account or money and therefor couldn't like videos or show any support, and being so happy in 2018 when I could like your videos. Now I'm nearing adulthood and about to get my first job, I'm so happy that Hacksmith Industries is as big as it is now and that I could grow up along this amazing channel. Keep up the good work guys! 😊
I’m been watching your videos since I was in the fifth grade. You guys are a big part of the reason I want to become an engineer. I am currently in the 12th grade. Your project are truly inspiring. I really did want to buy a mini-saber but I live in India and the shipping cost is too much. Thank you
I love the design of the dark one, especially the fact that you can mix the colours and create a beam of rainbow, RGB mini-saber!
That back to the future reference at the start was brilliant, props to James
Wow! I used to set up those projectors for conventions back before Covid when I was a stagehand.
Love the aperture labs reference! My favourite game series ever. I’m only here to see some cool flame stuff didn’t expect to see my favourite piece of media out there! Haha cracking job lads.
I am curious as to how they'll manage sabers clashing. It's been long theorized(and more or less confirmed in rebels) that sabers utilize a magnetic element to keep the blade intact. Maybe they'll be able to utilize something to that regard?
They won’t be able to because that would be making an actual light saber which they can’t, what they made is a lighter
@@joelbartor lightsaber basically is a lighter. And from what i've heard, scientists can create magnetic fields now.
I am gobsmacked on how they are able to afford all this? My company is also building a clean room and insane how much goes into making one. Seriously guys good job on all your success!
I pre-ordered my mini Saber back in May it took 7 months to receive but it was worth the wait I absolutely love it
I just received mine yesterday. The mini-saber gen 2 is probably the coolest thing i own now and i genuinely cant get over how awesome it is. My life is complete now that ive joined the dark side
Hacksmith is actually going to create world's first fully functional real lightsaber
12:30 are we not going to talk about how Hacksmith roasted and complimented linus channel all in one go XD
Got it the other week, it's so cool, makes a great Life Day Gift
FINALLY! It comes in black!!!! Definitely getting one now! (wasn't too crazy on the gold/brown, just why??). Thanks so much!
You see, if I had the disposable income, I would fund this. I would buy all three and then some. You guys and gals do some of the best work I have ever seen.
The fact you have a class 100 clean room is unreal. That must’ve been a real challenge.
nice jet lighter dude! good job that ones going on the refrigerator
This is awesome, sadly can't at the moment afford one, but still will get one eventually, as been wanting one since the original announcement. Keep up the amazing work.
This is just too incredible. Doing the lords work, James! Definitely ordering my own.
By lord, you do mean Lord Vader, right? 😂
Oh, Hey, plasma channel. I'm not surprised that you watched this video. Since plasma is in your name.
God isn't real, but sure.
@@therelaxcentral How do you know he isn't real?
Because it's so blatantly obvious. Literally nothing in religion makes any logical sense. The sooner people start realising that the better. Every single shred of "evidence" for him existing throughout the whole of humanity has been disproved by science. For a start, there is 0 evidence that cavemen worshipped any gods, mainly because their brains weren't developed enough to come up with such lies. @@charleswolfe8896
This is incredible.
I ordered one today can’t wait for it to arrive
Hacksmith is doing something, that even large companies wouldn't do. Big respect
I love the subtle jab at linus. Though the ltt screwdriver is pretty dope as well
Your such an original entertaining channel, keep up the good work man!
Incredible progress. So glad this project is still moving forward.
"this might not be a premium screwdriver" the greatest backhand slap ever
Honestly you guys are inspiring and are litterally making the crazy dreams in our heads possible. Keek doing what your doing can't wait for the next lightsaber vid!
Flammable material sign in a dark room is like a "do not tocuh" sign in braille. Both will make the user say oh shi... However the first one might not allow the user to finish the phrase 😂
I truly admire your channel for its engineering ingenuity and credibility. You can see engineering past, present and future in your labs.
bro really went from garage tomfoolery to a lab
It is so crazy how far they’ve come
That’s wild that Hacksmith is essentially becoming its own cutting edge laboratory.
Dude the materials on that mini saber must be excellent, imagine the heat on the nozzle
Very high quality product! I pre-ordered it in May and I love it! It's worth to buy! And thanks for including my selfie in the video! 😅 Good luck with the lightsaber project! May the force be with you guys! 😉
Love the hexagonal tiles on your office wall James, I have the same design on my workbench!
that hydrogen minisaber is the coolest thing ever. also incredibly dangerous because the flame is invisible, but hot damn do i want one!
definitely gonna buy one
Absolutely love the portal references all over the lab 10:17
Yeah, I saw that.
You guys do so much crazy stuff and as sayed its totally bonkers from Garage building to Laboratory research, incredible, breathtaking
I love the Back to the Future reference in the beginning.
We've is come so far with expandable batons... and I remember your initial test using fire proof material with induction. Ideally I guess I'm just imagining a modern expandable baton with a bunch of vent holes for fire.
I love your videos, you inspire me to make electronics and inovate! Thanks for everything!
Surely one can't have too many lightsabers. Just look at General Grievous
Mobile viewer here: having the "Pew!" SFX at the very start of the video makes for a hilarious "toy" if you keep tapping the left side of your phone (to rewind). It sounds like James is deflecting blaster fire.
I'm calling it now. 5 -10 years from now the military is gonna buy out Hacksmith Industries for their lightsaber research
Omg they did an invisible blade version. They are really going for Star Wars authenticity and I am living for this absolute nerd-am
I loved the LTT screwdriver callout that was perfect
😅
I got one of these as a Christmas present for my family and it’s we all love it
Just got my ifixit branded one. Love it
Wow. It's been a long wait, but you guys did NOT disappoint!
