real laser lightsaber?

[Darth Resev]

Whoa for a second I was that makes sense because he was tilting the blade I thought he was just posing

[Shade Valryn]

I have the true eye of a sith. I see only flaw... not perfection...


Lol, too dramatic there. Anyways yeah, I watched this many times and figured out that he always has it facing upward when turning it off and shifts it forward or tilts it down when he is turning it on.

There is a video section on the wickedlasers website although do NOT be fooled on the video of the (real) lightsaber, the person is using a large steel ball (possibly a bearing ball) that he tilts downwards as he turns the laser on to appear like it has a power up effect and to turn it off he moves the saber just slightly to knock the ball back down the tube, it's a subtle movement but it's there.

Wow, I have to admit I was fooled, although I did wonder how the heck he managed to do it. It just goes to show how simple solutions can fool the eye.

I keep my eyes sharp by constant saber fighting and training with my buddies.

[Darth Resev]

pretty sharp and I dont think it has any sound

[Shade Valryn]

I'm almost definate it doesn't. They sold the green version of the saber a while ago on ebay for 120 bucks and I'm almost certain that they said that their is no sound module(sp).

[Darth Resev]

And to think I was about to buy it

[Shade Valryn]

Meh, It's still a pretty cool techknowledgy(sp) that may have a future in store for it. For instance, what if in the future we could put an electromagnet in the hilt of that saber and cause the bearing to move up and down for the desired effects? Just a thought.

Here's one laser that will actually CUT.

After seeing the vids.. I don't think i wanna own one. It's just too dangerous to own...

They have a dedicated site now with their own forum.

There's a dueling vid right on the opening page.   Also a message (from August) that a sound system is in the works.

They say the ladderup and down is done with a magnetic attachment but that just doesn't look right.
Any strike hard enough to dislodge the magnet is going to dislodge it while dueling.
I wonder if they've replaced the magnet with a vacuum system.
The laser pointer installation looks like a pretty tightly sealed system and the hilt shows two buttons -- one might be an air bleed.
Open the bleed and the slider is free to travel.  Close it and air pressure keeps it stationary.

That's how it looks to me anyway.

That pic of the laser powered saber looks real cool. DaJoQuim

[Darth Resev]

it looks coolbut if its not duel worthy and cant cut anything for that price than I wouldnt go for it
