If plasma is contained by a magnetic field, could solid matter

>>8920843
lightsabers are fucking stupid

>>8920861
YOU GO TO HELL

>>8920864
Well they are.
>>8920843
Yes.

>>8920843
of course. plasma is ionized _gas_ and most materials don't respond to magnetic fields

>>8920843
The matter would disrupt the field.

If you made a plasma lightsaber, wouldn't operating it for even a few seconds without proper PPI cause a person do go blind and deaf? It would generate a ton of UV light and ultrasound, to say nothing of the ozone and nitrogen oxide produced. I'd be like holding a lightning bolt next to your face.

>>8920898
This.

>>8920843
Plasma is not magic.

>>8921009
But, the force and shit...

>>8921009
Not to mention the shit creating the magnetic fields that strong would probably fuck you up or pull teeth fillings out.

>>8920843
You have a better chance trying to make a black hole saber

>>8921336
How?

You're probably thinking of the 1995 plasma window (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_window )

It's not very viable for a variety of reasons. It does what you want it to do, but to get it to do that you have to do a lot of shit, plus the high temperatures and problems mentioned by >>8921222 and >>8921009

Still, if the technology was there, then sure. If we could contain negative effects, then hell, get some fusion power and live in fantasy land. In all honesty, these threads are shit because instead of wasting your time discussing the impossible, you should probably be wondering about why the fundamentals of the impossible are not yet achieved. Spend your time thinking about better energy sources or ways to viably contain that much heat, etc. etc.

there are devices, called penis pumps or something
