Its insane how much energy such a device would need. Same thing goes for something like a starship. For an example: the Nostromo from Alien had a 3.4 TERAwatt reactor, which allowed it to produce enough thrust to lift its 65.000 tons of the ground. For reference, 3.4 terawatts was the average GLOBAL energy production of 2022. You need the entire global energy production to lift a single relatively small starship of the ground.

And xylene gave the exact opposite, it was super bright and flame looking but had a super smooth stream. Mixing them would give you a super bright but smooth flame. We switched to just gasoline with isopropanol and it’s alright but not as good as the original mix. We still use viton so we can use xylene, gasoline, and isopropanol

One way of producing ball check valves so they seat right is to set the ball in the valve and hit it with a punch. This creates a basically custom seal and is how it's done in some saftey valves/pressure relief valves. Works in brass and should work in aluminium, not sure about iron or steel, atleast with normal hardened balls.
@camillosteuss
7 ай бұрын
A hardened ball bearing will impart dents into most steel, at least unhardened steel... Aluminium and any other soft material is no issue... The only issue with hard steel is that if the steel is too hard, or better said too brittle, it wont impart a dent, but will shatter the steel, but a high quality mill vise with 58HRC jaws will still receive brinelling from ball bearings if you use them without grinding a flat on them to hold irregular parts... A ball point contact with pressure, caused by a hardened ball bearing will give a custom seat in most materials that are ductile... Steel will only make a shallower dent... The term brinelling in itself refers to checking the hardness of a part of any material with applying set pressure with a steel ball onto the surface being checked, so yeah, a hard ball will definitely work on steel... Brass, bronze, copper and alu are equivalent to plastic for the needs of impressing a round seat with a ball - they offer minimal resistance...

Why such complications? You just need to make a screw drive to the pushing piston and that’s it. In addition, with such a piston you can know how much fuel is left and control the flow of liquid. The stepper motor needs to be made with a thread in the center to push the screw. And to reduce the space occupied by the extended screw, you need to arrange all the electronics and batteries in a circle with a hole in the center. The only thing you need to think about with this design is how to arrange the electronics and batteries so that there is a hole in the center.

Great work! Super clean. What about using the silicone hose for nitro fuel rc cars? I’ve used it to great success with my pyro systems with methanol and butane mixes. There’s a heavy duty variant used for actual race cars. Ignition in these systems can be aided greatly by adding airflow either by using passive Bernoulli principal tricks or in the case of fire saber I’m working on a tiny edf. Ignition without plenty of oxygen ain’t gonna happen no matter how hot you get.
@3rdchapterproductions8117 ай бұрын
Instead of using the battery for ignition, you could use whatever that crystal is that produces electricity when impacted. This way, you could use one button for both ignition and fuel, won’t have to worry about a constant arc, one less thing to drain the battery, and would be safer from accidental use as it would take a good amount of force to press the switch but wouldn’t take much force at all to keep it held

He needs high pressure and low flow. Centrifugal pumps don't do that very well, they're better suited to high flow and low pressure applications. Theoretically, I think he was on the right track with the triplex diaphragm design with a fixed angle cam. That would get him everything he needs including low pulsation for a nice smooth stream, but getting the materials to work reliably at that tiny scale is probably just not possible. Source: I work for an engineering company that manufactures industrial positive displacement pumps, mostly triplex and quintiplex diaphragm pumps, but we have some peristaltic models too.

Awesome! It would be even cooler if you fit it inside the original lightsaber designs
SOD/s, my new favorite power measurement unit
Really cool! And sleek design=)
most underrated channel
Why such complications? You just need to make a screw drive to the pushing piston and that’s it. In addition, with such a piston you can know how much fuel is left and control the flow of liquid. The stepper motor needs to be made with a thread in the center to push the screw. And to reduce the space occupied by the extended screw, you need to arrange all the electronics and batteries in a circle with a hole in the center. The only thing you need to think about with this design is how to arrange the electronics and batteries so that there is a hole in the center.
You deserve way more subscribers
This is too cool! I know i want one but i live in a city where "fun" things are either banned or taxed through the roof.
Very dope!
Someday you're going to wish you hadn't broken that lighter.
lightsaber came from frequency, vibration, energy no fuel, no plasma, no fire.
That low flow was funny
thats awesome
I'm pretty sure we will see a fully functioning actual lightsaber in less than 10 years
very nice rendition of rebels lightsaber. let's call it canon
I have subscribed I will be looking out for your next version and I will 100% be purchasing this as soon as it is available to force wielding consumers like myself
i just like the engineering on a total scionce fiction device. 😊
Did you manage to produce a version 2 ??
Finally a way to give someone a light without breaking the covid safety distance.
The blade must be solid before I'll call this a saber. This is a fancy lighter.
Great work! Super clean. What about using the silicone hose for nitro fuel rc cars? I’ve used it to great success with my pyro systems with methanol and butane mixes. There’s a heavy duty variant used for actual race cars. Ignition in these systems can be aided greatly by adding airflow either by using passive Bernoulli principal tricks or in the case of fire saber I’m working on a tiny edf. Ignition without plenty of oxygen ain’t gonna happen no matter how hot you get.
Instead of using the battery for ignition, you could use whatever that crystal is that produces electricity when impacted. This way, you could use one button for both ignition and fuel, won’t have to worry about a constant arc, one less thing to drain the battery, and would be safer from accidental use as it would take a good amount of force to press the switch but wouldn’t take much force at all to keep it held

The flame isn’t self sustaining(yet), so it needs a constant arc to stay lit.
Maybe warming the fuel help increase vapor production when relieved creating a more reliable flame?
What would be unholy but very entertaining Steel tube and HFVTTC
Dude that’s awesome
you could have used a 3d printer nossel for the fuel to flow out. you can get them with 0.1 to 0.4mm holes
so, mustard is the Jedi's kryptonite I guess
Insane!🔥
This is damn incredible.
My guy your going to sell a ton of these.
Oh yeah and I wonder if its possible to dissolve a cupric solution in the fuel to make the flame green =3
I now have a irrational fear of mustard...
You made a really neat poket beehive killer
7:00, ah McMaster-carr. truly the only friend an engineer could ever need or want
Lightsaber? It’s more of a pocket size flamethrower.
nice work
I’ll keep my LED lightsaber thanks, this is just a lighter with delusions of grandeur. 😂
How about lasers and mirrors🤔 it's bend and mess up the reflection when it hits stuff but it could be cool.
Did you consider centrifugal pumps? It could be driven with magnet pairing so the motor could be outside of the fuel area or it could have the magnets inside the fuel area while the coils are outside of it.

He needs high pressure and low flow. Centrifugal pumps don't do that very well, they're better suited to high flow and low pressure applications. Theoretically, I think he was on the right track with the triplex diaphragm design with a fixed angle cam. That would get him everything he needs including low pulsation for a nice smooth stream, but getting the materials to work reliably at that tiny scale is probably just not possible. Source: I work for an engineering company that manufactures industrial positive displacement pumps, mostly triplex and quintiplex diaphragm pumps, but we have some peristaltic models too.
you have the tools, have you thought of a refracted high power laser inside an airfilled retractable tube? think flimsy vacuum tube and high power laser, more dangerous than fire too. containment of lazers is the real issue I cant figure out. Love the project hope to see more soon!

The cutting ability from lasers comes from all the energy being in such a small area. Just having a straight beam the width of a lightsaber blade would reduce the energy density so mu you couldn’t cut anything. Let alone a full blade. And lasers are really big and expensive lol

Diesel engine injector. Pressurize it to whatever you want. Adjust the spray via the size.
I'm wondering about using lasers, say two beams at an angle & where they meet are in opposite phase to cancel the beams out. Or a central beam & the ones around it tuned so they meet the central beam in an opposite phase.
Bro made the ones from rebels 😂
hell you dont even need to have a support take like three pieces of nichrome and interlace them and it becomes more rigid, thatd be cool if you coll make a mechanicism that would wind and unwind that until a light saber, then push the power through
Is there any video about the new version?
Couldn't you have used silicone as an elastic material? From what I heard it's mostly inert, so it should work, right?
If you could get it to work with gelled fuels like Sterno, it would basically be a handheld flamethrower. Like, an actual one, not a Tesla toy.
CO2 cartridge is a simple answer to replace pump part. Little, cheap, available everywhere, chemically safe source of pressure. Big enough pressure!
liquid fuel? you are insane in a bad way. dead man walking
My high ass read the title and thought this thing was 'posed to be like an extremely dangerous hand warmer
