How hot would a real lightsaber burn?

A constricted plasma arc reaches temperatures between 8000°C and 25000°C (between 14432°F and 45032°F). Given the evidence within the Star Wars universe and our own universe, we can conclude that the plasma blade of a lightsaber reaches a temperature of at least 1800°C, and could be high as 25000°C.

Can lightsaber burn?

Since then, he’s sporadically released three video installments that outline the lightsaber’s build process and, for good measure, also make for some palpably tense moments. The reason the real burning lightsaber is so dangerous is because it involves a lot of pressurized flammable gases and fire.

Are lightsaber blades hot?

Steel melts at around 1500 C. So a lightsaber blade is at least that hot.

Is a lightsaber hot or cold?

Pretty much anything that a lightsaber touches is immediately converted to a molten liquid or a charred crisp, and when one lightsaber clashes with another, a flash ensues that is so bright that it momentarily saturates one’s entire field of vision. So yes, in addendum, lightsabers are really, really hot!

Is there a real lightsaber?

Perhaps the wildest patent filing we’ve ever seen belongs to Disney’s real-life lightsaber, first released last month. Back in 2017, the studio filed a patent for a “sword device with retractable, internally illuminated blade” – and you can finally see it for yourself, right here.

Can a lightsaber cut Cap’s shield?

Definitely the lightsaber would cut it. Vibranium absorbs kinetic energy but not heat energy. In fact, in order to forge vibranium into the shape of Capt’s shield, it had to be malleable from high heat. However, if the lightsaber passes too quickly through the shield, it would simply weld itself back into place.

Could Captain America’s shield stop a lightsaber cut?

From his research, Captain America’s shield would be able to block the lightsaber, but with enough time, the lightsaber could eventually cut through it. “A lightsaber will cut through anything,” Jackson says without hesitation. “Vibranium also.” So there you have it.

How hot does it take a lightsaber to melt a bullet?

It all depends on exactly how hot the lightsaber is. I’ve been doing some research for a possible bullet-melting energy shield, and have come to the conclusion that it takes about 5500 degrees Fahrenheit to completely vaporize a bullet (about the heat of a regular cutting torch.)

How does a lightsaber kill a Jedi?

The plasma in the lightsaber blade is at a high enough temperature that the bullet melts and turns to liquid lead, but not so hot that the lead vaporizes. The Jedi (or Sith) proceeds to get liquid metal thrown in their face, accompanied by third-degree burns.

Can a lightsaber be made with laser engineering?

Many “Star Wars” fans have tried to create a genuine lightsaber, but have only succeeded in achieving the look through the use of non-retractable metal tubing and light — in other words, a glorified flashlight. However, the self-dubbed “Hacksmith” employed what no builder has yet — the principles of laser engineering.

Why did Ren’s lightsabers melt?

This is consistent with the general behavior of lightsabers when coming into contact with metal objects, which is to melt them. Ren was slashing at the console nearby, at the walls, at the deck, rending and ripping, slashing long lines of bleeding metal into the very fabric of the ship.
