ASP-003 Lightsaber Pike:
ASP-003 is commonly referred to as the Lightsaber Pike or Lightsaber Staff. It appears to have a futuristic aesthetic indicated by the metallic composition of the object. ASP-003 is comprised of a metal body tube with decretive brass embellishments. A carbon fiber tube makes up over half the pike and is affixed to the end of the metal body using a nylon carbon fiber joining piece. Brass fittings make up a compact fuel controller within the object. The fuel controller is attached to a custom flow manifold that is used in the device to aid in transporting the gas used for ignition by holding the pipes internally. Pure oxygen is stored in 3 double-ended cylinders and is used for the plasma beam which can reach temperatures of 2400° Celsius due to the use pure oxygen. The line of cylinders are attached in a line and have a regulator and solenoids at one end, and a quick connect on the other end. Battery packs mount around each cylinder joint and are wrapped with Kapton tape. The object uses a large array of nozzles that make use of the fluid dynamic property laminar flow to create a highly concentrated flow of gas to create a plasma beam. This gas is compressed liquid butane gas outputting roughly 49 to 49.5 megajoules per kilogram. To achieve maximum temperature, complete combustion is required, which is why the butane gas combines with the pure oxygen to create the plasma beam. A circuit uses proportional control valves to control the flow of gas to allow for the plasma beam to ignite and retract with the press of a button. A circuit also controls sounds, the regulator and solenoids.
