The Making of Lightsabers are Plausible?

Greetings Everyone,

I've decided to create this blog in response to several blogs posted about real working lightsabers that may have been developed in the past. Now, I have never really made a lightsaber myself. However, I do believe the development of a real working lightsaber is plausible. There are many theories I have planned in my head and many schematics I have drawn out, but really don't make the design and development workable.

I came across a diagram of an actual core of a lightsaber. I have the diagram listed below as an atachment. Now if this diagram is correct I believe this would be the closest to an actual working lightsaber.

If anyone comes across this post I would like some feedback. It would help continue my research into the proper development of a fully functional lightsaber with some added benefits.

Thats fictional. Just putting a crystal in wouldn't make a lightsaber.

That "diagram" would be about as useful as watching the star wars films in helping to build a real light saber. It is more than likely possible to make a real light saber but it won't happen any time soon unless some billionaire decides to fund research for it.

He's new to the forum and posts a thread in the wrong place and for that you call him a total idiot?

I think you should apologise before you look like a total idiot.

That, and the fact of the two words "your" and "hear" being completely wrong kinda makes it too late.

Oh man! I always wanted a total idiot. I can't believe this new guy got it. Also, How can somebody be a verb?

The problem with lightsabers as plausible real-world weapons is the question of how to make the beam just stop once it got to a certain length. Furthermore, when it comes down to wielding a lightsaber, the only thing with any measurable weight is the hilt, which means that there is no balance like with an actual sword, and thus a real light saber would end up being more of a hazard than an asset to the wielder. In fact if you really want to see what it would be like to wield a lightsaber, just take a metal shaft at about the dimensions of a lightsaber hilt, and swing it around as if it were a Katana or Long Sword.

Now now Knightfa11, give the guy a break, he's new and probably young. He'll grow to understand the ways of KMC if given time.
