Knex life-size energy sword!

I recently posted a forum, And some of you guys wanted me to post them. so here's one!
Also, since the sword is symmetrical I will only be making half of it, so make 2 of everything except the handle.

You can always try making one that's spit too. It's not up to everyone but you.

Probably, but if you do that all it can do is sit there becase it would only be connected by the handle and that's quite weak.
So if you wanted to swing it around and such you would have to connect it somewhere in the middle.

not really in the halo 2 game book it practically tells ya how it works just find some plasma make it magnitised (by microcutting magnets and mixin them with the plasma) then put it into a handle wtih magnets on the handle so that after the plasma is released and heated the magnets make it look like a real one (i did my research and plasma is a real thing rare but real)

plasma is an ionized gas.

you must be takin bout the plasma in TVs i am talking bout the all natural plasma like in space 'air' i guess you could call it or the northern lights

Jul 29, 2009. 6:36 AMgeodez says:

no, true plasma is an ionized gas, the northern lights are caused by extra ions in light released by sunspots "exciting" air molecules and making them perform as seen in the northern lights or aurora borealis.

i thought u were saying that we mankind made plasma

Jul 29, 2009. 3:05 PMgeodez says:

you can make an unharnessable plasma (useless except for watching) by cutting a grape in half and touching the pieces together so they stand like this UU then microwave (it has to go in a circle not be set somewhere it will not move) it will produce a plume of bluish-yellow energy that looks like flame, this is plasma. it is not usable and is only useful for burning the inside of your microwave and making people scared (peeled carrots can be substituted for grapes, along with other such things.)
