A team, consisting of a Canadian inventor and a designer, left many in awe when they bagged a Guinness World Record for building the first retractable proto-lightsaber ever to be created. It is safe to say that their skills are ‘out of this galaxy’. This video, which documents the making of a real-life version of the fictional sword, is enticing and may make you say ‘holy Snokes’.
Guinness World Records shared the recording on their official YouTube channel. The almost five-minute-long clip has been shared with a caption reading, “World’s First Lightsaber”.
The video starts with James Hobson, the engineer behind this project, introducing his creation in a Star Wars-themed outfit. The clip then goes onto show how this feat was achieved.
Hobson initially states that he will be combining compressed liquid propane gas with oxygen. But, of course, not before putting on some safety glasses.
After doing so, he generates a high-temperature beam that burns at around 4,000 Fahrenheit and can cut through, well, a lot of stuff. Check out the cool creation and more facts about it here:
