The room, now a foggy haze, becomes a brightly colored spectacle of sky blue and then green.<\/p>\nHis eyes light up with a flick of a switch, as if he\u2019s successfully performed a magic trick. But he\u2019s not practicing magic tricks. There\u2019s no abracadabra, no hocus-pocus. Still, what he\u2019s created is just that–magical.<\/span><\/p>\nThe light show speeds out of a high-powered metal laser\u2014referred to by some as a lightsaber. But Powers isn\u2019t, simply put, \u201cone of those textbook definition \u2018Star Wars Geeks.\u2019\u201d He\u2019s never been to a convention. Instead, Powers is a maker when he\u2019s not working his day job in computer security–using craftsmanship to turn fiction into fact. And he\u2019s always been that way.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cI really can\u2019t remember a time when I didn\u2019t try to make things,\u201d says the 26-year-old Jefferson, Iowa, native. \u201cI grew up just building all sorts of things–anything I could imagine. I was the kid who, after watching a movie, would try to figure out how to make the main device that the character had because I wanted to have a superpower.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nOne of those items was a lightsaber. From crayon sketches to cardboard toilet paper roll prototypes, Powers set his mind on creating the fully functional Jedi weapon of choice. Powers has never had any formal training. Instead, he stayed up at night with college-level books about lasers, reading them over and over and over until the challenging words started to make sense. By age 11, he did it–wiring his own electric laser and winning first place in his county fair. But beyond the ribbon, he kept his talent behind a closed garage door, not sharing it with the world until five years ago. <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cFor the longest time I didn\u2019t tell anyone about what I was making, and the only ones who knew about it were my friends and family,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6951\" style=\"width: 1134px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6951\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6951\" src=\"http:\/\/urban-plains.com\/2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_0057-copy-1-1124x724.jpg\" alt=\"Lightsabers get their color from the different wavelengths of light produced.

Blue lightsabers, Power\u2019s favorite, have a gallium nitrate crystal as the lasing medium in order to produce color.<\/p><\/div>\nIt took three years into his relationship with then-girlfriend, now wife Jennifer Powers, to learn about her husband\u2019s passion.<\/p>\n\u201cWe just came to this bottom,\u201d she says. \u201cHe had been working at KFC and I said, \u2018This isn\u2019t really what you want to be doing forever. What would you prefer to be doing?\u2019 And that just started the whole discussion. He told me about it and how he missed working in electronics, and he just started drawing again and building.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nThe conversation led to the couple\u2019s move from Wisconsin to Ames, Iowa, so Powers could pursue a college degree. Ultimately, after starting at Des Moines Area Community College, Powers decided school wasn\u2019t for him.<\/p>\n\u201cIt was like something was lacking and it always seemed to be school,\u201d Powers says. \u201cI didn\u2019t complete college for engineering, but I\u2019m still following my passion and achieving my dreams.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nStill, his family–both his parents and his children–remain the biggest support system for his craft. At a young age, his mom and dad took interest in his hover car drawings and continually encouraged him to keep up with his interest. They bought electronic kits to build upon his (already beyond-his-years) knowledge and instilled a strong work ethic in Powers that endures today. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMy stepdad always told me, \u2018Something worth doing is worth doing right,\u2019\u201d Powers says. \u201cHe always put a lot of time and effort into the things he made, so that they turned out good. I learned a lot of skills from him, he inspired me to do electronics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nThat same work ethic has filtered down to Powers\u2019 two daughters, ages 6 and 3, who mimic their dad\u2019s behavior, eager to build their own cardboard lightsabers. Others are intrigued by his practice, too. A frequent guest at the Science Center of Iowa in Des Moines, Powers, once shy about his work, is now eager to share the process with others. <\/span><\/p>\nIt starts with an idea, he says. Then it takes a day or two to turn it into a more concrete concept–the color, the shape, all brought to life with 10 to 15 lightsaber sketches.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThen I draw out each individual piece that I\u2019d have to make, so I can get an idea of how it\u2019d work as a machine. I take all the pieces and tape them up on the wall and I start making the pieces until they\u2019re perfect and fit together,\u201d Powers says. \u201cOnce I get all the individual pieces made, then I take it inside and start working on the electronics and try to make them fit inside these little housings. Once that\u2019s done, it\u2019s all just the little tweaks and the little details to get them to look unique.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nPowers follows this self-taught process quite a bit, estimating that he owns approximately 12 functional lightsabers. The lasers, which have the ability to burn through objects, are equivalent to about <\/span>2,000 laser pointers pointed at the same spot. Costing <\/span>$200 to $300 apiece, they take 20 hours on average to make.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6952\" style=\"width: 1134px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6952\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6952\" src=\"http:\/\/urban-plains.com\/2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_0063-1-1124x724.jpg\" alt=\"A homemade lightsaber produces the same amount of heat as 2,000 laser pointers directed at the same spot.

This gives it the power to heat and burn through solid objects.<\/p><\/div>\nEach laser is what Powers calls \u201cexceedingly unique.\u201d It\u2019s a principle that holds true to the Star Wars series\u2019 roots, with each Jedi and Sith owning their own personalized lightsaber. But in January, Powers received a request from the Science Center that was even a challenge for him to undertake.<\/p>\n\u201cThey called me and asked if I could cook a piece of bacon with a lightsaber,\u201d he says. \u201cSo, I built a HERF gun, a high-energy radiofrequency gun. It basically shoots and I brought that to the Science Center and cooked bacon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nOnly in Iowa.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How one Iowa man turned his
