is there any flashaholic here that doesn't like Lightsabers?

[HoopleHead]

you know, like the star wars lightsabers. is there anyone here that has a flashlight fetish and doesnt also think that lightsabers are awesome? and does it work vice versa? do we need to get more star wars fans over here?

someone make a lightsaber flashlight please. with an insanely tight beam, and exactly 1 meter of throw. very blue tint is ok.

Since you asked; I really really really like flashlights. Lightsabers don't impress me at all. I don't see the relationship other than someone could pretend a flashlight was a lightsaber.

 

[jayhackett03]

my gf would break up with me if i started talking about lightsabers, she already thinks a flashlight habit is weird.

many times i have thought...if i had three wishes, one of them would go to "i wanna have a real working lightsaber"

Sorry, I love them. They do require some willing suspension of disbelief when you see them in movies, but if you can manage to stop thinking "this would never work" every two seconds the saber fight scenes are very enjoyable.

 

[greenstuffs]

Yeah sure why not hope it takes rechargeables...

 

[scaredofthedark]

nah they take these special crystals that give each saber a different color.
no batteries needed it's powered by the force!!

Who says you can't have a lightsaber?

I think if I actually had a lightsaber, I would be missing several limbs right now and my home would be covered in scorch marks and there would be gouges in every wall.

Jedi Crystals are natrual, and you have to travel to its homeworld to get a crystal of a certain colour. sith crystals are synthetic,and therefore usually come out red.

Lightsabers use a rechargable battery, most of them just one big cell (think AW rechargable cells, but not C, but D format)...but more complex designs can use multiple cells ( think fivemega's 6- 2d holder). Qui-gon Jinn's (THE coolest jedi, along with Mace Windu) green lightsaber used multiple cells.

Being a light and knife nut, a lightsaber would be awesome! Like crenshaw, if I had three wishes one would be a lightsaber lol.

hahaah i joking iono anything about lightsabers other than that the crystals they use affect the color

 

[Crenshaw]

i think the closest we can get, is with a light with and extremely tight beam, and a fog/smoke machine built into it...

Alternatively, 1w laser anyone? the only problem is fixing the length...

the sad thing about lightsabers, is that they most probably will never exist regardless of technology, simply because the physics behind a laser blade like that makes no sense.

that's pretty good for amateur choreography

I always thought of them as a large plasma torch in a magnetic bottle. You probably could eventually make a device like that. Not really a practical weapon though.

From Wikipedia:
Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike. Hand held torches can usually cut up to 2 in (48 mm) thick steel plate, and stronger computer-controlled torches can pierce and cut steel up to 12 inches (300 mm) thick. Formerly, plasma cutters could only work on conductive materials, however new technologies allow the plasma ignition arc to be enclosed within the nozzle thus allowing the cutter to be used for non-conductive workpieces.
Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized 'cone' to cut with, they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes.

Of course those machines are rather large.

Only if it's a working one, not the ones from walmart.
