Yeah I agree. On a surface level, ignoring fan fiction from the community and wade through all the fannon and still get hate for missing some smaller details is an idea that is very easy to accept, but Star wars is rather unique in that the community and fans have been filtering decades worth of ideas, concepts, and stories. Alot of the A grade gold material have raised to the top for Disney to pick and season for their use but noooo they scoop up the bones at the bottom and then dip them in some really odd flavors like wasabi and durian fruit. Some will like that kick, but most will just gag.
I also think it’s because of the legend that is Dave Filoni, someone who was heavily involved in both Clone wars and Rebels, which were both accepted and loved by the fans (Rebels perhaps a bit less)
@@PasserMontanus yes and no. Between the original and prequel trilogy, George gave Star Wars the unique flavor that everyone loves. The biggest difference in the two sets is that there was no one to filter the strong flavors of George was pushing out and making sure everything in George's head translated properly onto the movie screen.

Physics student here. Imagine the vibrations arent just along the cutting angle. Consider a vibration outwards from the width of the blade instead of along the length. This causes very small temporary gaps along the material preventing it from clamping onto the knife. (much - it would still feel like sliding the knife through thick viscous material) This would also cause much more damage to organic material through micro tearing.
Agreed! You could almost imagine it like the flat of the blade slapping with material aside in a rapid fashion. I think this is actually how it's meant when they're talking about the blade cutting in a larger area than its cutting ratio. If the blade is vibrating sideways it would create a much wider gash. However that still probably wouldn't kill the mudhorn, you really do need that extra penetration to kill such a large animal.
I love how shad points out his mistakes during editing rather than making cuts, really shows how he can get it wrong but wants to give correct information. Shows character of how dedicated to being accurate he is.
Shad, a note on terminology. Ultrasonic: frequencies above human hearing. Supersonic: moving faster than the speed of sound (within the medium); produces sonic booms and shockwaves.
Based on the canon (but not great) rebels animation, cross guarded light sabres did exist before kylo ren. They were phased out by single-exhaust blades for a couple reasons. When the sith were a lot more prominent, the jedi would frequently have to duel them, so cross guards proved very useful; however, once the sith were "defeated" the jedi order transitioned to a more ceremonial organization and lightsaber dueling became less of an emphasis during the 1000 or so years before the clone wars. Consequently, cross guards were removed because there were no sith to fight, and made light sabers more elegant as a status symbol.
Wasn't another explanation that a whole crystal couldn't do it? Kylo Ren's lightsaber crystal was confirmed to have been cracked and such, creating an unstable blade which needed excess ventilation. that was where the Crossguard came in for Kylo, not necessarily out of combat desire, but out of needing his saber to not explode.
Also: there is an effect in real physics that if an object is hit by something that is moving at a speed exceeding the speed of sound inside the said object, the damage is much greater. You can think of it as of a sonic boom from a jet, but inside the body/armor. So if vibroblades are made of a material which has VERY high speed of sound and is extremely resilient, then very fast vibrations of the blade could induce sonic booms inside the target, explaning the whole "massive damage from a nick" thing. Actually, this effect is exactly why modern day militaries try to develop railguns, as their muzzle velocity can be sufficient to cause such sonic booms in steel.
I like this explanation. So when they describe the vibrations as being hyper sonic, it's not just super sonic in the air, but super sonic in some materials you want to cut through, like flesh.
@@Nostroman_Praetor it's basically what you see in those old samurai movies when the protagonist cuts someone hands clean off, but instead of that "xiiing" like sound, you will hear a huge explosion.

So interestingly enough, the cross guard on Kylo's lightsaber is explained by his crystal being unstable, so it needs exhaust points for it to not blow up in his hands, which also shows and explains the flair of his saber unlike others.
@@yogurtofthemultiverse2200 not necessarily. That means he knew better, or whoever made the saber did. The crystal is cracked, which is why it was unstable.
@@yogurtofthemultiverse2200 It may have happened before but that is mostly sw legends and that sorta stuff, around the time on the old republic and before that as well lightsaber technology wasn't perfected enough. These lightsabers like Kylo's would be more common in between the use of Protosabers and the more modern lightsabers.
But this isn't the first time a cracked crystal is seen, we see it in the Firce Unleashed as well, although it is single exhaust that's probably due to the default model not because it's possible but if TFU becomes Canon again or if it has (idk anymore) that means you don't need the vents per se
Yes. Ultra and infra is always referring to the wave length. Which makes it confusing that we use ultraviolet and infrared for light but no specifications for sound.
Yes, i was confused too. Something eg a knife that moves at a speed that exceeds the sound barrier will create sonic booms wont it? aka turns the knife into more of a concussion grenade more than a cutting tool.

You seem to be ignoring the effect high speed impact has on tissue. High velocity bullets cause hydrostatic shock and damage organs that are not affected by the bullets path. The vibroblade could have a similar effect.

Crossguards were shown in the Rebels animated series, implying that prior to the Old Republic this type of lightsaber was somewhat common. Basically it's JJ doing gimmicks and Filoni doing the heavy lifting.

Best part is that ultra-sonic in no way refers to the speed of sound, but in fact the *_frequency_* which is inaudible to humans on the high-frequency side of the spectrum (I would imagine infra-sonic is the term for inaudible on low side?). So he said it wrong both pre and post-edit
@@feha92 He really didn't say it wrong, techically. Moving objects at ultrasonic frequencies CAN exceed the speed of sound. It's not the definition. But they aren't mutually exclusive either. If you moved a blade one inch back and forth 20.000 times a second, it would be breaking the sound barrier at an ultrasonic frequency. And that's just at the lowest possible ultrasonic frequency, you'd obviously need shorter and shorter distance at higher frequencies.
@@whynotdean8966 But he did actually. Ultrasound is sound that is beyond human hearing. Sound always travels at the same speed regardless of frequency. The speed depends on the medium and nothing else. Whether or not the membrane of a speaker is moving faster than sound as it vibrates with ultrasonic frequency just depends on the distance it's travelling, so it may or it may not. Ultrasonic does not equal faster than sound.

Hey Shad loved the video! A little comment I have is to clarify the difference between supersonic and ultrasonic. Supersonic refers to something moving through a medium faster than a sound wave can. Ultrasonic refers to the frequency of a vibration or wave being above the audible range. The ultrasonic vibrations mean that the blade is vibrating at a frequency above 20khz
@@robertharris6092 Old school Aussies love the Bowie knife and fun fact: The Bowie knife was actually designed and first invented in Sheffield, England. Then it spread throughout the UK commonwealth and eventually got to America. The only reason it's called a Bowie knife is because it's most famous user was Jim Bowie.
"I don't know how sound waves are created by vibration." That's how musical instruments work Shad, the vibration of a material is used to produce sound. Side note, I always thought that vibroblades worked by vibrating molecules to split them apart, your theory of using sound waves _sounds_ really fresh. (I'll show myself out)
Wouldn't a knife that vibrates faster than sound make deafening noise, vibrate your hand to the point of being painful or even dangerous to hold, and get really hot from friction?
Not necessarily. First of all, if it vibrates faster than 20 kHz or so, it would be producing ultrasound which is inaudible to humans (it's basically the sound version of UV light). Similarly, the nerves in your hand wouldn't be able to feel something vibrating at those speeds. It might get uncomfortable to hold after a while, but the vibration itself wouldn't be able to be directly felt. Finally, moving things only produce a lot of heat if there is a lot of friction. There are plenty of ways to reduce friction (lubricant, magnetic bearings, etc.), and the heat that does get produced can be absorbed by heatsinks, and could be limited by only using the vibration function whenever you're actually trying to cut something with it.
@@PossumReviews Vibration-proof gloves. They make them in the real world for daily users of power tools and things like that, roadwork crews and such. They really do help - though naturally it would have to be Super Space Vibration-Proof.
There actually are ultrasonic cutters, that are being used to cut through really tough materials. I work for a company called Telsonic in Switzerland and we specialize in ultrasonic applications (mostly welding, but other applications too). Our cutting systems are quite large and not as small as a normal knife, but the technology has been invented and it's super effective.
I have used an ultrasonic version of basically an exacto knife and it cuts super easily through most materials and part of that is based on the heat it generates. You can cut easily through plastics because the blade basically melts its way through with the friction it generates.
The cutting/destructive capacity of a vibroblade's shock wave would depend on what is being cut. A shock wave passing through water (or in anything made mostly of water) is going to retain its energy over a much greater distance due to the incompressibility of water as compared to air. This can be used to explain a weapon that causes massive damage to flesh (due to the vibrations destroying delicate tissues like blood vessels, yet causes no damage until the blade makes physical contact and has relatively little effect on other materials such as metal.
You actually would actually want "z" plane vibration to help separate material. The extensive damage would mostly be due to cavitation much like firearms.
@Billy Oak god that sounds evil and makes a gaping hole so blood gushing that you vic wod die just from nearly any place. Oh and those spikes are mearly a centimetre long.
So ultrasonic generators by a different name exist, i use them professionally. Al ot of people do. Ultrasonic on metal have an interesting effect. With enough power you can weld with it. Even cold. The problem is you would end up merging the dagger to like metals. This teck is used for wire bonds in your cell phone or computer processor
Honestly, as somebody who loved TLJ, RoS broke my heart - and yet now, I'm kinda glad. RoS, crazy as it sounds, healed the divide in the fanbase. If Rian Johnson had been given Ep9, we'd probably all still be arguing over whether the Sequels were masterpieces or trash, but thanks to Abrams, Disney and unnecessary Palpatine, we can all just agree that yeah, the trilogy sucked. I can't even gather the energy to caveat that with how great I thought the first 2/3rds of TLJ were. TLJ was a problem because it was creative and interesting and didn't care who it pissed off to tell the story it wanted to tell. RoS isn't a problem, because it was bland, milquetoast nothingness - you'd have to be lobotomised to not see it as a soulless wreck of a movie. RoS is laughable, not divisive, and that has actually helped us all move on.
Very interesting analysis. One thought that came to mind about a vibroblade wedging and getting stuck in material as a limitation, what if the blade also has a small lateral vibration? The blade is literally slapping the material out to the sides as well in that instance, which would vastly reduce friction in a cut without the crazy sound wave cutting having to be necessary.
One thing he doesn't seem to know is that vibroblades are not science fiction, they really do exist. Their main benefit is exactly that they don't get stuck. They are mainly for use with complex material that straight cutting blades tend to get stuck in like paper and certain polymers.
The Mandolorian is living proof that you do not need an epic 3 billion ship space battle or a super convoluted plot to be a good star wars show/movie, it's simply better quality in all aspects than the "Fanfictions"
these days I prefer stories on a smaller scale. We already have a lot of the worldbuilding done on a galactic level, I would rather just watch people going through their own problems within this galaxy, like the bounty hunters or a soldier or even just a singular Jedi or a Master/Padawan duo without it being "the fate of the galaxy"
I haven't watched those "fan fictions" yet I do think there's a place for both the small and large scale things. When you make it big and fancy though it would be a good idea not to just rely on pretty special effects and combine it with a compelling story that (mostly) makes sense.
@@extrastuff9463 yep, I agree that both big movies and special effects and the like have a place, just like slow and easy shows. What I’m implying is that the “fanfics” rely to much on that to compensate for horrible plot and ridiculous character choices.

Shad has this strange ability to make me ponder stuff about absolutely everything while giving me enough background to make a half-assed educated guess of my own and amuse myself at the same time. He has what it takes to make a great teacher!
I mean...there's no such thing as good fanfiction most of the time...and anything is better than those shitty novels and comics. Well, not anything...the sequels were pretty bad. Not as bad as some think...but then the originals aren't as good as some think, either.
For some additional information to this, there already exist ultrasonic cutters with high application in factory settings for food prep and textile cutting. Normally you don't see them cutting metal, but there is some indication that they can cut metal since the ultrasonic cutter from Mxmoonant is advertised as being able to cut aluminum. It is not quite a vibroblade, but it is push-dagger sized so real life is getting quite close. Combined with an earlier comment from @ankokuraven about ultrasonic homogenization, it seems promising that vibroblades could exist.
Ultra sonic vibrations on a blade would absolutely cause damage beyond the area of the cutting surface. The vibrations of the blade cause the blade to move extremely fast. That fast moving blade will impact the flesh with a high velocity creating a lot of force. Force that will travel further through the flesh than otherwise. The edge can cause a cut and the vibration would tear the cut open.
Yeah, I assume it’s the same principle as trying to tear a piece of laminated paper. If you just try to tear it you won’t make any progress, but if you make a small cut on the edge, the same force you put in is able to tear through the whole sheet.
I completely disagree with this statement. Ultra sonic knives are a real thing that are uses in industry all the time. Every time you buy a pre portioned slice of cake (in a supermarket) it is likely cut by an ultra sonic cutter. I defy you to cut a cleaner slice of cake with a regular blade.
I always imagined their cutting power deriving from the force of the vibrations rendering nearby matter porous, essentially liquifying a small ammount of matter around the surface area of the blade, allowing it to keep sliding forward

George's own words. The films are the main universe. Video games, books, comics, all never were considered Canon, and were part of their own separate universe. However TCW is Canon, as was directly supervised by George himself, and they incorporated a lot of EU aspects, thus making them Canon. Dave is doing the same with Mandalorian, bringing old EU lore and bringing it to Canon under Disney's nose.
@@smergthedargon8974 bro theres literally little saws made to cut wood that vibrate to do it so fast. Go to literally any hardware store. Theres your example.
@cak01vej I understand what you mean, however the sound waves concentrate at the open end of the tuning fork and are very directional. They are so directional that people have used tuning forks to shatter glass, but it would only work when the open end of the fork was pointed at the glass.
A reason that vibroblades can't cut outside their length could be that it's not using sound in the air, it's using sound in the material they're cutting to tear it to pieces before the blade actually gets to it. This would explain the increased cutting, especially with the more inconsistent material of mudhorn neck, and would allow for vibroblades to damage beskar in the cases where it is at the resonant frequency of the piece of armor.
Two things: First, the Mandalorian is basically a space cowboy, and the series basically falls into the genre of space western. And, generally speaking, cowboys didn’t usually carry swords. Usually a knife, but that’s equally for utility. Second, in the Mandalorian, he DOES get a sword in season 2 by way of “The Dark Saber”, which is basically the Mandalorian Excalibur.
@@z1maass727 Those were my favourites. I was soo stoked to see Bo-Katan using a similar weapon in The Mandalorian. Glad that and Battlefront 2 finally brought that weapon into canon.
Little detail about the vibro blade. If you cut electronics with it, the blade will conduct electricity to the electronics in the handle of the blade. This will cause it to explode inside your hand.
When it comes to “vibration” type blades, I tend to think about how sand behaves - hard packed sand is just about the next best thing to bedrock but add a little vibration and it behaves like a liquid. Now the sand particles are atoms or molecules and the blade is able to break those bonds like vibrating sand. Somehow ignoring the crazy amount of input/output energy that is involved in breaking those kinds of bonds... Flawed but I can wrap my brain around the idea
I saw the word sand and I physically can't read the rest of what you said because my brain can and will fill in the rest of it with anakin complaining about sand
For the Mudhorn scene what I always thought was that when he stabbed the mudhorn, that the Vibroblade vibrated the mudhorns flesh and bones, rupturing its arties, spinal cord and maybe even scrambling the brain. Not that it was cutting deeper but that the vibration turned the things insides into a smoothy
In clone wars it's also shown that the blade carries an electrical charge, so it can theoretically short out someone's nervous system like a taser/stungun would but to a lethal degree
Also, this made me think of something that I read about power swords in w40k (can't remember if this was from official material or the comment section). But supposedly, power swords emit some sort of magnetic type of energy that puts tension on the material, pushing it away from itself at the edge of the blade. Imagine trying to cut a rope normally, you'd have to apply a sawing action. Now imagine 2 trucks pulling on either end, all you'd have to do is barely touch the edge to it and it'll snap apart. I always wondered if the tech applied to all types of materials (flesh) or just anything metallic/magnetic. Any w40k nerds here?
I'm commenting this at around 12 minutes into the video so you might mention it, but something to consider is hydrostatic shock. Even though some projectiles aren't sharp, the wounds that they leave tend to be much larger than their immediate surface of contact because the velocity causes fluid to displace. In ballistics gel, faster projectiles tend to leave a massive temporary cavity viewed under slow motion and a permanent cavity that is still larger than the projectile's diameter.
Shad, there are lightsabers with cross guards in the rebels series. (*[spoiler warning]* Specifically the episode where they first discover [SPOILER WARNING] the sith temple, they come across an old battlefield and Ezra picks up one of their lightsabers which, when activated, fires up a cross guard.) The “cross guard” on the lightsaber is actually just a heat vent meant to stabilize the main blade. The lightsaber that kylo uses is a refurbished version of one of the original Jedi lightsabers. They used to ALL have cross guards, I forget the reason why they stopped using them though.
so, the vibration wouldn't be increasing the strength or resistance of the blade. What happens IRL with vibration at a molecular level is that it reduces the stability of what it is coming in to contact with. Assuming (taking a leap with the tech aspect here) the vibrations can tune to the resonant frequency of the impacted object within microseconds, it would separate the material it comes in to contact with, therefore increasing the cutting capacity. Another aspect i didn't hear you mention is that it would increase the amount of friction to the point of heating the object, depending on the frequency of the blade and ambient temp/cooling capacity of the object being cut. on the point of the mudhorn, imagine what happens when a bullet strikes something, the sound waves ripple within the object being struck. The same principle would apply with the vibroblade, though at a much higher frequency, effectively tearing apart the flesh of the creature, radiating away from the blade.
I was hunting for a resonant frequency comment. =) I completely agree. I feel like this makes more sense for what vibroblades are doing, and its how I always categorized them in my own head.
I am not very familiar with vibro blades, but the name makes it sound like a giant ultrasonic cutter. Also I agree with you on the sequels, the "souless corporation" was trying to kill the golden goose with those movies.
I thought he meant that he didn't know the specific physics of how vibrations form the waves (which is important for how the energy would be directed and such). Similar to how I know that my hairdresser does my hair but I don't know exactly 'how' they do my hair.
You might find it interesting that the earliest mention of vibroblades in Star Wars I am aware of comes all the way back in the novel Han Solo's Revenge which was published in 1979. Considering there wasn't even a sequel to the first film yet and very little other published material in existence at the time, that is very likely the first and is very early on indeed.
I'm glad at least one other person here points out the similarities between vibroblades and High Frequency modified swords from MGR:R. Might as well put a RULES OF NATURE! here to show my thanks.

Physics student here. Imagine the vibrations arent just along the cutting angle. Consider a vibration outwards from the width of the blade instead of along the length. This causes very small temporary gaps along the material preventing it from clamping onto the knife. (much - it would still feel like sliding the knife through thick viscous material) This would also cause much more damage to organic material through micro tearing.
Also reduce the effect of a material wedging the blade in place... interesting.
That's some cool stuff
Agreed! You could almost imagine it like the flat of the blade slapping with material aside in a rapid fashion. I think this is actually how it's meant when they're talking about the blade cutting in a larger area than its cutting ratio. If the blade is vibrating sideways it would create a much wider gash. However that still probably wouldn't kill the mudhorn, you really do need that extra penetration to kill such a large animal.
I love how shad points out his mistakes during editing rather than making cuts, really shows how he can get it wrong but wants to give correct information. Shows character of how dedicated to being accurate he is.
Does make me want to see a faster-than-slight sword now though
Shad, a note on terminology. Ultrasonic: frequencies above human hearing. Supersonic: moving faster than the speed of sound (within the medium); produces sonic booms and shockwaves.
That would be the most badass knife ever.
Based on the canon (but not great) rebels animation, cross guarded light sabres did exist before kylo ren. They were phased out by single-exhaust blades for a couple reasons. When the sith were a lot more prominent, the jedi would frequently have to duel them, so cross guards proved very useful; however, once the sith were "defeated" the jedi order transitioned to a more ceremonial organization and lightsaber dueling became less of an emphasis during the 1000 or so years before the clone wars. Consequently, cross guards were removed because there were no sith to fight, and made light sabers more elegant as a status symbol.
Wasn't another explanation that a whole crystal couldn't do it? Kylo Ren's lightsaber crystal was confirmed to have been cracked and such, creating an unstable blade which needed excess ventilation. that was where the Crossguard came in for Kylo, not necessarily out of combat desire, but out of needing his saber to not explode.
@@weasel003gaming7we could accept both of these I suppose
they existed in the expanded universe as well
Also: there is an effect in real physics that if an object is hit by something that is moving at a speed exceeding the speed of sound inside the said object, the damage is much greater. You can think of it as of a sonic boom from a jet, but inside the body/armor. So if vibroblades are made of a material which has VERY high speed of sound and is extremely resilient, then very fast vibrations of the blade could induce sonic booms inside the target, explaning the whole "massive damage from a nick" thing. Actually, this effect is exactly why modern day militaries try to develop railguns, as their muzzle velocity can be sufficient to cause such sonic booms in steel.
I like this explanation. So when they describe the vibrations as being hyper sonic, it's not just super sonic in the air, but super sonic in some materials you want to cut through, like flesh.
So then what would be the passive effect of a vibroblade in its surrounding environment?
@@josephschneeweiss6635 it would be loud.

@@Nostroman_Praetor it's basically what you see in those old samurai movies when the protagonist cuts someone hands clean off, but instead of that "xiiing" like sound, you will hear a huge explosion.

So interestingly enough, the cross guard on Kylo's lightsaber is explained by his crystal being unstable, so it needs exhaust points for it to not blow up in his hands, which also shows and explains the flair of his saber unlike others.
Exactly
Which would also imply at least one lightsaber did explode in his hands, necessitating this completely new tech to split the blade.
@@yogurtofthemultiverse2200 not necessarily. That means he knew better, or whoever made the saber did.
The crystal is cracked, which is why it was unstable.
@@yogurtofthemultiverse2200 It may have happened before but that is mostly sw legends and that sorta stuff, around the time on the old republic and before that as well lightsaber technology wasn't perfected enough. These lightsabers like Kylo's would be more common in between the use of Protosabers and the more modern lightsabers.
But this isn't the first time a cracked crystal is seen, we see it in the Firce Unleashed as well, although it is single exhaust that's probably due to the default model not because it's possible but if TFU becomes Canon again or if it has (idk anymore) that means you don't need the vents per se
Correction! Supersonic means faster than the speed of sound, but ultrasonic means higher in frequency than 20,000 Hz (upper limit of human hearing).
Yes. Ultra and infra is always referring to the wave length. Which makes it confusing that we use ultraviolet and infrared for light but no specifications for sound.
a blade vibrating at 20k Hz is quite a bit, it would probably deal quite a bit of damage
Thanks Chadggy
Thanks Chadggy
Yes, i was confused too. Something eg a knife that moves at a speed that exceeds the sound barrier will create sonic booms wont it? aka turns the knife into more of a concussion grenade more than a cutting tool.

Good thing you caught yourself in the editing or every comment would be referencing that line.
Best part is that ultra-sonic in no way refers to the speed of sound, but in fact the *_frequency_* which is inaudible to humans on the high-frequency side of the spectrum (I would imagine infra-sonic is the term for inaudible on low side?). So he said it wrong both pre and post-edit
@@feha92 He really didn't say it wrong, techically. Moving objects at ultrasonic frequencies CAN exceed the speed of sound. It's not the definition. But they aren't mutually exclusive either.
If you moved a blade one inch back and forth 20.000 times a second, it would be breaking the sound barrier at an ultrasonic frequency. And that's just at the lowest possible ultrasonic frequency, you'd obviously need shorter and shorter distance at higher frequencies.
@@whynotdean8966 But he did actually. Ultrasound is sound that is beyond human hearing. Sound always travels at the same speed regardless of frequency. The speed depends on the medium and nothing else. Whether or not the membrane of a speaker is moving faster than sound as it vibrates with ultrasonic frequency just depends on the distance it's travelling, so it may or it may not. Ultrasonic does not equal faster than sound.

Hey Shad loved the video! A little comment I have is to clarify the difference between supersonic and ultrasonic. Supersonic refers to something moving through a medium faster than a sound wave can. Ultrasonic refers to the frequency of a vibration or wave being above the audible range. The ultrasonic vibrations mean that the blade is vibrating at a frequency above 20khz

"I don't know how sound waves are created by vibration."
That's how musical instruments work Shad, the vibration of a material is used to produce sound.
Side note, I always thought that vibroblades worked by vibrating molecules to split them apart, your theory of using sound waves _sounds_ really fresh. (I'll show myself out)
Reminds me of the Progressive Knife from Evangelion.
I giggled.
Vibrating air pressure... so doing exactly what he said minus the understanding.
Wouldn't a knife that vibrates faster than sound make deafening noise, vibrate your hand to the point of being painful or even dangerous to hold, and get really hot from friction?
Not necessarily.
First of all, if it vibrates faster than 20 kHz or so, it would be producing ultrasound which is inaudible to humans (it's basically the sound version of UV light).
Similarly, the nerves in your hand wouldn't be able to feel something vibrating at those speeds. It might get uncomfortable to hold after a while, but the vibration itself wouldn't be able to be directly felt.
Finally, moving things only produce a lot of heat if there is a lot of friction. There are plenty of ways to reduce friction (lubricant, magnetic bearings, etc.), and the heat that does get produced can be absorbed by heatsinks, and could be limited by only using the vibration function whenever you're actually trying to cut something with it.

There actually are ultrasonic cutters, that are being used to cut through really tough materials. I work for a company called Telsonic in Switzerland and we specialize in ultrasonic applications (mostly welding, but other applications too). Our cutting systems are quite large and not as small as a normal knife, but the technology has been invented and it's super effective.
I have used an ultrasonic version of basically an exacto knife and it cuts super easily through most materials and part of that is based on the heat it generates. You can cut easily through plastics because the blade basically melts its way through with the friction it generates.
Very small vibration blades also do exist though they don't really have much usage. They are mainly very fancy and expensive paper cutters.
The cutting/destructive capacity of a vibroblade's shock wave would depend on what is being cut. A shock wave passing through water (or in anything made mostly of water) is going to retain its energy over a much greater distance due to the incompressibility of water as compared to air. This can be used to explain a weapon that causes massive damage to flesh (due to the vibrations destroying delicate tissues like blood vessels, yet causes no damage until the blade makes physical contact and has relatively little effect on other materials such as metal.
"A really bad fanfic mad by a soulless corporation." Ya, that pretty much sums it up.
You actually would actually want "z" plane vibration to help separate material. The extensive damage would mostly be due to cavitation much like firearms.
Beat me too it. Basically a form of hydrostatic shock applied to knives.
This would also explain the mudhorn death, as it would slice... deeper I guess in terms of the blade. Interesting concept honestly.

Honestly, as somebody who loved TLJ, RoS broke my heart - and yet now, I'm kinda glad. RoS, crazy as it sounds, healed the divide in the fanbase. If Rian Johnson had been given Ep9, we'd probably all still be arguing over whether the Sequels were masterpieces or trash, but thanks to Abrams, Disney and unnecessary Palpatine, we can all just agree that yeah, the trilogy sucked. I can't even gather the energy to caveat that with how great I thought the first 2/3rds of TLJ were. TLJ was a problem because it was creative and interesting and didn't care who it pissed off to tell the story it wanted to tell. RoS isn't a problem, because it was bland, milquetoast nothingness - you'd have to be lobotomised to not see it as a soulless wreck of a movie. RoS is laughable, not divisive, and that has actually helped us all move on.
George Lucas, Dave Filoni, and Jean Favereau would agree with you
Don’t we all?
Very interesting analysis. One thought that came to mind about a vibroblade wedging and getting stuck in material as a limitation, what if the blade also has a small lateral vibration? The blade is literally slapping the material out to the sides as well in that instance, which would vastly reduce friction in a cut without the crazy sound wave cutting having to be necessary.
One thing he doesn't seem to know is that vibroblades are not science fiction, they really do exist.
Their main benefit is exactly that they don't get stuck. They are mainly for use with complex material that straight cutting blades tend to get stuck in like paper and certain polymers.
@@MrMarinus18 Im not familiar with this real life comparison, what are the irl vibroblades called?
The Mandolorian is living proof that you do not need an epic 3 billion ship space battle or a super convoluted plot to be a good star wars show/movie, it's simply better quality in all aspects than the "Fanfictions"

So much this. It’s simply because it is objectively better to the extent that some art can be objectively better than other art.
I haven't watched those "fan fictions" yet I do think there's a place for both the small and large scale things. When you make it big and fancy though it would be a good idea not to just rely on pretty special effects and combine it with a compelling story that (mostly) makes sense.

For some additional information to this, there already exist ultrasonic cutters with high application in factory settings for food prep and textile cutting. Normally you don't see them cutting metal, but there is some indication that they can cut metal since the ultrasonic cutter from Mxmoonant is advertised as being able to cut aluminum.

Havent heard of it. Was it something serious?
Ultra sonic vibrations on a blade would absolutely cause damage beyond the area of the cutting surface. The vibrations of the blade cause the blade to move extremely fast. That fast moving blade will impact the flesh with a high velocity creating a lot of force. Force that will travel further through the flesh than otherwise.
The edge can cause a cut and the vibration would tear the cut open.
It can also cause burns due to the energy input. We have a tool like that in surgery that both cuts and cauterises the cut tissue.
Yeah, I assume it’s the same principle as trying to tear a piece of laminated paper. If you just try to tear it you won’t make any progress, but if you make a small cut on the edge, the same force you put in is able to tear through the whole sheet.
Ultra sonic blade could well cause cavitation bubbles within the body, and those would cause all kinds of damage.
I completely disagree with this statement.
Ultra sonic knives are a real thing that are uses in industry all the time.
Every time you buy a pre portioned slice of cake (in a supermarket) it is likely cut by an ultra sonic cutter.
I defy you to cut a cleaner slice of cake with a regular blade.
I always imagined their cutting power deriving from the force of the vibrations rendering nearby matter porous, essentially liquifying a small ammount of matter around the surface area of the blade, allowing it to keep sliding forward

George's own words. The films are the main universe. Video games, books, comics, all never were considered Canon, and were part of their own separate universe.
However TCW is Canon, as was directly supervised by George himself, and they incorporated a lot of EU aspects, thus making them Canon.
Dave is doing the same with Mandalorian, bringing old EU lore and bringing it to Canon under Disney's nose.
Something like a Vibroblade actually exists irl, they are huge and incredibly expensive, but they can cut through steel like butter
Can I see an example?

me, a musician: so a really sharp tuning fork
@cak01vej I understand what you mean, however the sound waves concentrate at the open end of the tuning fork and are very directional. They are so directional that people have used tuning forks to shatter glass, but it would only work when the open end of the fork was pointed at the glass.

@@deinonychus1948 nah the baragwin assault blade is pretty good
This is the way.
A reason that vibroblades can't cut outside their length could be that it's not using sound in the air, it's using sound in the material they're cutting to tear it to pieces before the blade actually gets to it. This would explain the increased cutting, especially with the more inconsistent material of mudhorn neck, and would allow for vibroblades to damage beskar in the cases where it is at the resonant frequency of the piece of armor.

Two things:
First, the Mandalorian is basically a space cowboy, and the series basically falls into the genre of space western.
And, generally speaking, cowboys didn’t usually carry swords. Usually a knife, but that’s equally for utility.
Second, in the Mandalorian, he DOES get a sword in season 2 by way of “The Dark Saber”, which is basically the Mandalorian Excalibur.
Drinking game: take a sip every time Shad draws or holsters his knife in this video.

What about vibro hidden blade used by Republic Commando
What about the episode with Hando, ahsoka, and the younglings too
@@z1maass727 Those were my favourites. I was soo stoked to see Bo-Katan using a similar weapon in The Mandalorian. Glad that and Battlefront 2 finally brought that weapon into canon.
I don't recall them having the "vibrating" effect in Clone Wars, so it's hard to tell if they were vibroblades or just conventional.
@@NathanielMiller starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Vibrosword/Legends?file=HalfedCommandoDroid.png
Little detail about the vibro blade. If you cut electronics with it, the blade will conduct electricity to the electronics in the handle of the blade. This will cause it to explode inside your hand.
Shad "the technology for vibro blades doesn't exist"

Yes!
It's not a lightsaber, though. It's cool, but still just a glorified blowtorch.
@@operatorchakkoty4257 Facts
if I were to try to make a vibroblade IRL I'd just make a really tiny jackhammer and use the tang of the knife as the bit.
@@operatorchakkoty4257 I mean yeah, but we don't have the technology to make a REAL lightsaber.
When it comes to “vibration” type blades, I tend to think about how sand behaves - hard packed sand is just about the next best thing to bedrock but add a little vibration and it behaves like a liquid. Now the sand particles are atoms or molecules and the blade is able to break those bonds like vibrating sand. Somehow ignoring the crazy amount of input/output energy that is involved in breaking those kinds of bonds... Flawed but I can wrap my brain around the idea
I saw the word sand and I physically can't read the rest of what you said because my brain can and will fill in the rest of it with anakin complaining about sand

A knife that shakes inside the wound is like twisting the knife 20 times per second.
no not really
Then you got the crocodile Dundee Vito blade machetes that the commando droids use
100 times per second, in most of the world. 120 times per second in North America. At least when I'm carving the turkey.
Love the reference to KOTOR. So many good memories. Back when canon and lore actually meant something.
For the Mudhorn scene what I always thought was that when he stabbed the mudhorn, that the Vibroblade vibrated the mudhorns flesh and bones, rupturing its arties, spinal cord and maybe even scrambling the brain. Not that it was cutting deeper but that the vibration turned the things insides into a smoothy
In clone wars it's also shown that the blade carries an electrical charge, so it can theoretically short out someone's nervous system like a taser/stungun would but to a lethal degree
Yeah, that was my thought too. Not necessarily an enhanced mechanical cutting action, but some sort of energy transfer to the target.
Also, this made me think of something that I read about power swords in w40k (can't remember if this was from official material or the comment section). But supposedly, power swords emit some sort of magnetic type of energy that puts tension on the material, pushing it away from itself at the edge of the blade. Imagine trying to cut a rope normally, you'd have to apply a sawing action. Now imagine 2 trucks pulling on either end, all you'd have to do is barely touch the edge to it and it'll snap apart. I always wondered if the tech applied to all types of materials (flesh) or just anything metallic/magnetic. Any w40k nerds here?

I'm commenting this at around 12 minutes into the video so you might mention it, but something to consider is hydrostatic shock. Even though some projectiles aren't sharp, the wounds that they leave tend to be much larger than their immediate surface of contact because the velocity causes fluid to displace. In ballistics gel, faster projectiles tend to leave a massive temporary cavity viewed under slow motion and a permanent cavity that is still larger than the projectile's diameter.
Man, check ultrasonic cutters. We need sequel for this video.
Very interesting. Seems mostly used for plastic and similar substances, though.
After your explanation about sound actually being able to cut through things, Black Canary's scream just became a lot more deadly.
True
Don’t forget about the commando droids who used them
Or the Emperors guards who had vibro pikes
Shad, there are lightsabers with cross guards in the rebels series. (*[spoiler warning]* Specifically the episode where they first discover [SPOILER WARNING] the sith temple, they come across an old battlefield and Ezra picks up one of their lightsabers which, when activated, fires up a cross guard.) The “cross guard” on the lightsaber is actually just a heat vent meant to stabilize the main blade. The lightsaber that kylo uses is a refurbished version of one of the original Jedi lightsabers. They used to ALL have cross guards, I forget the reason why they stopped using them though.
Shadiversity: "I don't know how sound waves are generated by vibrations.
Sound waves: Literally vibrations.
Probably meant how to focus it onto a point?
So in short they combined a blade with one of your girlfriend's "toys"
so, the vibration wouldn't be increasing the strength or resistance of the blade. What happens IRL with vibration at a molecular level is that it reduces the stability of what it is coming in to contact with. Assuming (taking a leap with the tech aspect here) the vibrations can tune to the resonant frequency of the impacted object within microseconds, it would separate the material it comes in to contact with, therefore increasing the cutting capacity.
Another aspect i didn't hear you mention is that it would increase the amount of friction to the point of heating the object, depending on the frequency of the blade and ambient temp/cooling capacity of the object being cut.
on the point of the mudhorn, imagine what happens when a bullet strikes something, the sound waves ripple within the object being struck. The same principle would apply with the vibroblade, though at a much higher frequency, effectively tearing apart the flesh of the creature, radiating away from the blade.
I was hunting for a resonant frequency comment. =) I completely agree. I feel like this makes more sense for what vibroblades are doing, and its how I always categorized them in my own head.
Perhaps this is why most vibroswords are single-edged, as to prevent self-injury from the focused sonic waves
I am not very familiar with vibro blades, but the name makes it sound like a giant ultrasonic cutter. Also I agree with you on the sequels, the "souless corporation" was trying to kill the golden goose with those movies.
"I don't know how sound waves are generated from vibrations".... Uh, shad.. *All* sound is generated from vibrations.
exactly what i was going to say... so glad I checked the comments first.
Musicians laughing in the distance
I thought he meant that he didn't know the specific physics of how vibrations form the waves (which is important for how the energy would be directed and such). Similar to how I know that my hairdresser does my hair but I don't know exactly 'how' they do my hair.
"Much wider cut" might just still be in millimeters.
When it's a blade cut even one millimeter matters alot.
"It has tooths." Aren't you an accomplished writer, Shad?
It is an actual term for more than one "tooth" when it comes to blades and such.
@@ShadowQuickpaw Hm, I'm going to look into that.
This is why writers have editors XD
@@ShadowQuickpaw Yeah, still wrong.
Isn’t it teeth
You might find it interesting that the earliest mention of vibroblades in Star Wars I am aware of comes all the way back in the novel Han Solo's Revenge which was published in 1979. Considering there wasn't even a sequel to the first film yet and very little other published material in existence at the time, that is very likely the first and is very early on indeed.
Vibrio axes were in episode 6, just weren’t activated by the Grimorian guards at jabbas palace
Weren’t the Gamorreans fighting in the first episode of this season also using Vibro axes?

Well that’s not even practical cause you can cut your fingers off cause the guard is made of lightsaber
@@spacetacos7574 of you point the crossguard diagonally upward and put bars on the first part it would actually be effective
A roto hammer uses vibration/rapid small strikes to drive the tip/blades/bit into concrete and through metal and all kinds of. So if the knife was made like a miniature roto hammer it absolutely could got though a ton of materials
24:37 the mandolorians actually started to use basically version of our guns as if they would block bullets, they get a lot of molten metal into their face....

@@lechking941 Because Science actually did a video on whether Lightsabers could block real bullets and he found that a lightsaber is capable of reducing basically any bullet into hot molten lead... directed at the blocker, it'd burn you like a sand-hating Sith Lords triple amputated body resting near the lava rivers of Mustafar! not pleasant!
