How I made a REAL LIGHTSABER - Guinness World Records

The force is clearly strong with Alex of Alex Lab, but how exactly did he manage to make the world's first retractable lightsaber?

let's take something into consideration, while the Hacksmith made a working saber too, it's considered a proto saber (in Star Wars cannon). Hacksmith's is connected to a backpack, that has a large propane tank on the back giving it more power and time to run. so, the fact this guy made one fully handheld, not connected to anything is awesome, so Alex, don't get your draw backs get you down!

Having a Russian guy and an American guy working in parallel to the same geek weapon is a very beautiful symbol in this crazy world at the moment...

He'll have another world record if he finishes the iron man suit

What is amazing is that you manage to create it without losing a finger. thanks for bringing to reality the lightsaber, it looks great.

I love the passion to make fiction into reality. Most people would say it's impossible. But these guys are figuring it out. So cool!

Hacksmith’s saber:
Visually stunning, blade looks like a real lightsaber, cuts through metal, requires external fuel tank

Alex’s saber:
Much more true to the traditional design, blade looks more like a flamethrower, cuts through metal, requires no fuel tank

Conclusion: both are masterpieces of engineering and are equally amazing technological feats

Рад что наконец-то на него обратили внимание! Интересно, а броню железного человека тоже никто не создал ещё? Если да, то я уверен что Алексей и здесь будет первый!

So now we have 2 different Proto-sabers, Alex's and Hacksmith's. 2 different approaches that get us closer and closer to a real one!

Even tho this man’s version isn’t as cool looking as the other one we saw, it’s still EXTREMELY impressive he was able to make this with materials from a scrap heap. It’s also still very cool looking!

I remember, when I was in school around 14years ago - I had an argumentation in front of the class with a classmate about the viability of lightsabers. I was on the "it is possible"-side. While my classmate had like 20 better arguments, that lightsabers ain't constructable at all and my arguments where more or less of the category "everything is possible just believe", it will make me really happy to show him this video :)

This is awesome. That handling is probably better than Hacksmiths, as it doesn't need a cable, but as you've shown, it's much weaker and unstable. I must say I'd actually prefer the Hacksmith Lightsaber. But you did a great job! It looks awesome and intimidating!

Леша молодец 😂👍
Мы все рады за тебя ты это заслужил старания не напрасны 🤝

[dakotaharbert]

I like how he doesn't mess around with wearing safety glasses. That's pretty crazy.

[wrght]

This is a neat take! This guy is very humble which is really awesome.

[adampatino]

I nominate this comrade for winning the internet 2022. The force is strong with this one

[ARKenMan]

I see you have constructed a new skills are complete. Indeed you ARE powerful as the Emperor has foreseen.

[apandafromhell]

Thinking of the protosaber here! He will be the beginning of having truly elegant weapons

[QuietHusband]

Even though this is just a prototype it is still very impressive and I want to see the next version

Continue putting out positive energy and sharing your passion! The world needs more people like you. Well done sir!

[milodemoray]

Well done Alex! All the best for the future!
