well, things are hectic here. I'm still working on the prototype, but it looks like it will be longer than I thought before its complete, due to complications in other areas of my life, the patent...

Has anyone considered using freznel lens film as a diffuser?


http://www.poc.com/lsd/default.asp?page=overview&sub=lsdfilms

This co manufactures freznels and related. Very informative on the...

and thanks for the info...

I mentioned that I haven't any experience with whats out there, I can only go by what info I can find until I get hands on. I have looked at a lot of posts and I was addressing issues I see discussed...

oh, yeah. Piezos are much smaller than speakers, in terms of depth. They are almost paper thin.

Why would a piezo be better? I think there are several reasons to pursue piezos.

1. Volume. It would be possible to get more decibels out of a piezo than a speaker of the same size.

2. Power. A...

has anyone considered using a piezoelectric disk in place of a speaker?

any experimentation along these lines?

I am considering the best possible way to produce sound and what I have seen so...

on the market?

Oh, man. I have enough at the moment with the patent process and the prototype. I really have no idea. I think I mentioned that once the patent pending comes through, I'll tell you...

no, it's somewhat more complicated than that....

you'll see soon...

Tesla invented both AM and FM radio...

just a note...

no, it wasn't Marconi on either count...

it's only dangerous in two ways, as far as I can tell:

getting hit over the head with it might hurt, depending on how hard its swung, (its just a solid plastic blade) and you might go blind if you...

how does 'simulated hand held energy weapon" sound?

Great input, guys. Thanks tremendously. I have made application, but it looks like the process can take up to a few months before I receive patent pending status. In the meantime, I'll get some pics...

I'm getting ready to place an order with the shop for some parts.

I guess for now I'll go with the modular hilt system.

Any advice on sound circuits? What is the top of the line?

Sure. It's all speculative at this point. I just picked Betavoltaics because sooner or later it will be something like that that enables us to pursue things like this. Technology is progressing at a...

I've thought about that.

I guess you won't know, but I'll make sure that it is extraordinarily unlikely that it could be rotoscoping.

I'm planning to go out to public places and demonstrate. I...

It's not a fluorescent tube. Good guess. I think there is potential with fluorescent's if we can ever make an enclosure with the right properties, but that's not what I'm using.

Thanks to everyone...

and this is all just mental masturbation at this point! lol

Typically, in a normal arc, apx. 1000V (1KV) is needed to produce an arc of 1 mm in length. Since our tesloid is apx. 1400 to 1600 mm in length (to produce a 70 to 80 cm blade) this would mean we...

The power source for our lightsaber will be a small nuclear power cell.

The nature of this cell should allow to derive the power required in a package small enough to meet our size criteria. At...

Heres a link to a guy who does some research on colored arcs with tesla coils...

Correct to a point. The arc seen in the pic would not cut anything, and the frequency is high enough to produce a 'skin' effect and probably (although not necessarily) would not be very dangerous....

xwing,

I think you are confused.

1. This has nothing whatsoever to do with my replica design. This is just a theoretical construct.

2. The reason no one has done this (the design as shown...

A very interesting tesla link.
