Lightsabre?

[Colin KC]

Ok then, can all you Jamies out there extrapolate the timeline for a working lightsabre, based on the advances made within the last ten years or so?

Then we can pre order them with Surefire:

Customer Services: "We've had 23,000 pre orders from a religion called "The New Jedi UK Limited" what shall we do with them sir?"

CEO, Surefire Inc: "Tell them to :censored: off:mad: We're having enough trouble from Master Jackson *Samuel L* insisting that HE have one in Purple!:rolleyes:"

Sad, but it's not a real one is it, c'mon guys you can do better than that, when can we run around being Luke Skywalker for real?

I think the Lightsabre will remain in the realms of science fiction for a long long time. I mean, how do you make a beam of light(plasma, laser, whatever) stop in mid-air with nothing physical to stop it?

Dunno:confused: thought you guys could help;)

I quite liked the phaser research being done - use a laser to ionise a path to the target, then hit 'em with a large jolt of electricity.

Unfortunately, the prototype is a little on the large side.

[Danzo]

'Real' lightsabers don't stop in mid air, the blade is composed of a closed energy loop that returns to the concave blade emitter at the end of the hand grip. The amplitude of the beam determines where the blade arcs to return and hence its length; a lightsaber blade is adjustable.

That is perhaps too geeky to admit knowing........

I'm not sure that an arc would produce such a tight strip of light.

I wondered if it would be possible to pulse the laser light at such a speed that switched the laser on and off when the beam reached about 6 ft, and thus gives the appearance of a solid light of a definate length

I meant Star Wars technology 'real', rather than real world technology 'real'!

U.S. customers who pre-ordered their Surefire light sabres through an unnamed online supplier have received their orders this week. SureFire deny that any new model of torch (flashlight) exist even though photos of the new SF sabre can be seen on their chief engineers private web site.

By that, you obviously meant "real life" vs "Five-oh's reality":rolleyes:;)

Frank Zappa did not believe in sabres light, and in the words of...

" I can't see, whoa whoa whoa whoa...I can't see, whoa whoa whoa whoa...

[Vonny]

Frank got so much right, but Ozzy is a man from another dimension, just to the right of wrong.

US Navy latest laser is able to burn through 20 feet of steel per second. But be a long while before that becomes hand held.

I find your lack of faith... disturbing :]

[gregs656]

I think if I had a lightsabre I would miss it every day I was in prison, where it would land me with in a week of owning it (and that's being generous to be honest). I'd still buy one though!
