Created by Michael Paly, the device features a high-strength aircraft aluminum build that can be finished in one of two options including polished metal or anodized gloss black. The unit is capable of creating [blade-like flames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r4a) up to three feet in height thanks to a proprietary nozzle that will fire upwards; the fuel has been paired with additives in order to have it burn blue or green to suit preferences. The 'STARGLOW' saber comes with a bottle of liquid fuel that's good for up tonight refills to offer up to 20 minutes of use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sci-fi-inspired Swords:** Opportunity for creating innovative and immersive sci-fi-inspired sword replicas. - **Flame-generating Technology:** Potential for developing flame-generating technology for entertainment or special effects purposes. - **Customizable Fire Designs:** Possibility of designing personalized fire effects for creative displays or performances. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating authentic and visually stunning sci-fi weaponry for film, live performances, or cosplay events. - **Special Effects:** Opportunity for developing cutting-edge flame-generating devices for enhancing visual effects in movies, theater productions, or theme parks. - **Collectibles:** Chance to cater to the demand for collectible and customizable fire-based replicas by offering unique and high-quality sci-fi-inspired swords. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Motion-Activated Sci-Fi Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hasbro-2.md) - [Sci Fi-Inspired Desk Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightsaber-lego.md) - [Laser Sword Hard Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seagate-lightsaber-collection-firecuda-ssd.md) - [Pink-Inspired Saber Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-soldier-saber.md) - [Animated Show-Inspired Butane Torches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butane-torch.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Hard Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firecuda-external-hard-drives.md) - [Cutting-Edge Smoking Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saber-recycler.md) - [Laser Technology Smoking Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-technology-smoking-device.md) - [Sci-Fi Show Drinking Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corkcicle-x-star-wars.md)
