I'm going to say what we're all thinking. The Energy Sword from Halo is a complete masterpiece. It's haunted me for years, so, I decided to build an actual plasma knife as a test bed for a full scale build! Thank you to Aozolai for their use of Halo footage, as well as Blender Made Easy.

Your setup has a lot of constriction and resistance to air flow, which favours static pressure over air volume. This tends to mean impellers are better than propellers. It might make it a bit less noisy.

The server fan I ended up using was rated fairly high on static pressure. The trick with this build was that too much air caused an issue. I required just the right amount of flow down the blades. Too little and it didn’t travel. Too much, and it blew the arc out light a candle.
@CarlVanWormerAE7GD 6 ай бұрын
If you want to eliminate the spark getting "stuck" at the top, try removing the sharp points at the inside of the top gap. If you curved them away from each other, widening the gap at the top, the spark should extinguish as it is forced to the end (where the gap would get bigger). Round all corners and edges near this point. If you want to have sharp "stabbing" points, put them on the outsides of the blade where the point-enhanced electric field would be less (due to distance). The electrical field is related to the inverse of the curve radius, so any sharp points or edges need to be considered as arc-producing spots.
@delphicdescant 6 ай бұрын
Yeah, only downside is that having the curve on the inside looks derpy, and one of the design goals was to look cool, but true.
@PlasmaChannel 6 ай бұрын
Thanks, yeah I considered this but ultimately wanted a specific look. Having the tips inverted to me looked a bit strange. Off camera, I did dull the points significantly, and rounded the internal edges at the last 2-3 cm of the blades. Next version… will be biblical!

Pro tip for blade handle shapes: don’t make perfectly round handles. You can’t feel the edge alignment of your blade with them, and they’re more likely to rotate in your hand, further messing up edge alignment. Ovoidal and rounded rectangular are the best cross-sectional shapes for handles.

I feel like you could help the problem of arcing at the tip by having the gap between the blades get wider there, like in Allen Pan's design - that way the arc has less "incentive" to stay at the top instead of restarting from the bottom. Also you should try and find a fan with the highest possible static pressure rating, to overcome the restrictions on the intake and exhaust.

I love the design. I would consider copper plating the inner edges of the blades to provide better thermal and conduction edges. Copper plating is super simple to do at home. You can even do pen plating, this is where you use a pen with like a felt or wool to apply the plating to the specific places you want. Its very simple to setup, copper sulfate is cheap and you can use solid wire as the source of copper, but a small pipe is generally a little better. I think the inner 1/8" of the blades copper coated would make for a nice 2 tone color design as well. Just my 2 cents. I have a few of those 10kv power sources from ebay, i haven't figured out a project for them yet but this is great inspiration. Keep up the great content
@KonstantinDx 6 ай бұрын
Cool weapon! The upper part of the blades is very sharp, so the electric field strength is maximum on them. It was a problem on a first test. I guess the sharpest places should be placed further apart so that the sparks form more evenly along the entire length of the blade.

Two suggestions: first, try using a small drone motor to enhance airflow. Second, consider adding air holes just below the fan for increased efficiency. Additionally, plating the inside of the blades with a more conductive material could improve performance. Another idea place two clear pieces of plastic on both sides, just below the sharp part of the blade, as the lower end isn’t currently useful. Love the project keep up the good work!

A cathode ray tube (CRT or old style TV screen) Runs at about 27,000 V. It can arc about an inch to 1.5". One time I had a TV that was putting out to much flyback voltage to the CRT (like a capacitor / battery) , and as I was explaining this to someone, I pointed to it, and it arced to my finger, about a 6 inch flash. I had on rubber soles, so nothing happened, lol, or it would have hurt. So I came away with a charge. Reminds me of a tesla plate.

An easy method is to reconfigure a Tazer. The popping noise, a major deterrent. The noise would vary, as it traveled up blade, like a Jacobs ladder. It might not travel, if previous pulse is not fast enough to catch the last ionization trail, that is drifting up or away from start point. Tazers are notorious for strong brief pulses, with pause between.

The FS Blade is very good but as we all saw that the plasma did't went up after a certain point. My advise please narrow the distance between the blades to about 5 or 4 mm and use a more conductive metal while increasing the 2 transformers to 3 and switching to the old handle but the same fan. This would do a lot better I think and can also be an great idea for a version 2 of The FS blade and if worked will shurely help in the actual Energy Blade.

Great video! One tip for the blade shape: a higher primary grind is better for cutting. That knife uses a saber grind but it's a very low grind, resulting in a very obtuse angle. If space wasn't a constraint, the handle could have an oval cross-section to help blade alignment. Of course, if this is not used for cutting it's a non-issue.

I was kind of wincing about the short tangs on those blades, and I'm not even a Maker. My immediate suggestion would be the Tod's Workshop channel, but he's over in England, so physical assistance would be tricky.

This was cool. I understand that air flow is an issue with putting out the arc flame. I think you should experiment more and refine this blade to get the plasma to be a solid field from root to tip, maybe some how enclose it. The look was great but more refinement for both aesthetic looks as well as functionality. I liked your idea for the future as well. Maybe have the plasma run along loops that are shaped as the blades some how filling the middle. If there is away to make the orange flickering fire not as prevalent or nonexistent keeping the brilliant purples whites and any other plasma looking color. Good luck!

The fan can also be replaced with an electromagnet for a more consistent streM or with a class 4 uv laser to make jumping the spark gap easier. Best wishes and cool design nevertheless. Already want to build one myself.
