Such a device is the dream of every fan of the cult fantasy saga. This workable lightsaber can destroy any obstacle that gets in its way.
One American fan of George Lucas films, after long, stubborn but fruitless attempts, was finally able to create his own lightsaber using a high power laser. The creator and owner of the first working model of the lightsaber is currently cutting household items.
In a video posted on YouTube, he shows how his invention cuts paper, ribbons and cardboard, and melts ping-pong balls.
The video hosting user who created the gadget declined to reveal his identity, but claims that his laser weapon is legal in the United States.
“Most things light up instantly when you aim the beam of such a laser at them! This is the most powerful pocket laser I have ever used,”he says.
This laser uses a new 9mm 450nm laser diode package powered by two 18650 lithium-ion batteries, the sword maker, YouTube-registered styropyro, who calls himself "DIY Laser Guy", said in a video. He posted several videos of his previous projects, but said none of them came as close to Star Wars weapons as the latest version.
“I usually try to refrain from using the term 'lightsaber' when referring to my lasers, but this time I really couldn't find a better definition to describe it. To be honest, I don't even like portable lasers of this power, but I knew that my subscribers would like it. It is legal to own such a laser in the United States, although I wear glasses when using it,”he said.

However, commenters pointed out one fatal flaw in the device: "That's all well and good, but you haven't tested it on the Dark Lord of the Sith."
