I think the best way to create a lightsaber, would be to create a oneway forcefield that would keep the energy in, but allow matter to pass through to the other side. Once there, the other wall of the forcefield would give you the actual blad part of the thing.
It's creating the one way forcefield and of course the laser that would be a trick.

A strong magnet might just be able to act as a forcefield since a REAL forcefield has not been invented yet.

I was talking with a Physics teacher at my school, he works part time at my school, and spends most of his time working at Fermi Lab. He told us, theoretically, if you had an energy emitter that emitted an extremely intense amount of energy, the energy would dissipate because of how great it was, at a certain point, depending upon energy and frequency and amplitude. He said however the amount of energy needed would be at least the amount need to power The city of New York. The problem of being able o parry would probably still be an issue, unless of course it was just mutually agreed that Jedi would have a set frequency, and that sith would have the inverse of that frequency, which i don't see happening, maybe if they had apposing fields, so that the potential energy could effect it. That could be possible as well.

Sweet video. Very interesting. So at some point, there will be lightsabers

What about focused plasma? It has weight and duration, like a fire. I'm talking out of my a$$, but that's why there are discussions right?

That could be possible as well. I was thinking that myself, although I wasn't sure of the power but, the New York analogy works quite well. As a fellow physicist , the mere idea of a lightsaber baffles me. That's probably why I like it so much, lol. If the power were great enough it would compensate for the fact that it IS in fact light and in theory it should dissipate, evaporate in a sense. Depending on the amount one would allow to pass through that emitter. Then the material needed to make the emitter so it doesn't melt itself to nothing. Hmm, if only plutonium wasn't so volatile. To get the dark red out of it you would have to be a Sith Lord to manufacture it. He's the only one who could get anyone to do it willingly, lol. Which leads me to another point. We haven't mastered the power of the atom until we are able to harness (control) the energy output release. Anyhow enough of my rantings. |

I'm talking out of my a$$, but that's why there are discussions right? plasma isn't as good too work with as light: First, yes it is like fire but , think of it more like sand magma or better yet, acid air. The "fire" would burst out everywhere. There is no real way to control that except perhaps for a "One Way Forcefield" and I don't see that happening any sooner than an actual forcefield. Although plasma can be light on the atomic scale it just doesn't have what it takes to be a saber. Second, Just to re-emphasize what I meant by "Everywhere". Has anyone ever seen a firefighter first turn on the hose as he regulates the valve or even in your gardens or backyards with your own hoses. As you regulate the output of the water it shoots out in a "spray" out and wide . As you allow more water to pass through the pressure built up is released further and the water molecules are packed against each other so tight , they create a stream. That's how plasma would be for a lightsaber. I don't know about you but, I sure am not turning that thing on,lol. IMHO, let's play it safe with concentrated light first. I think we know how to work with that better.  |

After scouring the net I came across a tid-bit of info for you techies out there and anyone else interested in plasma energy for a lightsaber. Yakov is a physicist who considered plasma for a lightsaber and he sheds some light on how it would function.
Look this up in google exactly as you see it (copy & paste):

I'm not sure, but I watched video somewhere, telling, that USA scientists invented some kind of force field, that can stop enemy rockets, by destroying them. And of course it's invisible.

It's more of a "radio" frequency that sets off the bomb while it's still in the upper stratosphere. We still haven't quite got the blueprints for a forcefield yet. Those photons just refuse to stay still, lol. |

Well, than it's really sad. Another thing is , the way this country pumps more scientists int the bio-tech industry than anything else, it's more than likely that another will manufacture forcefields before us. It's sad seeing as how these new technologies could make a positive role in todays world but, also knowing it would be used for wrong purposes makes me happy it's not here yet . |
