a deep UV laser between 150nm and 248 NM can ionize air molecules byt stripping the eletrons off of the atoms at 20 watt or more. I didn't specifically mean any kind of UV light.but i was curious...

yes firebird its a optic tube focused inside the hilt.

When electrons and ions collide, it forms plasma, Yes you are right Vade about how plasma requires a vacuum but if there is an extreme amount...

ok younglings,
here is the first lesson

When UV light makes contact with metal, it produces current. When it makes contact on platinum, it will produce over 6 volts. Plus it will also guide...

well, I just did a google search and look what I found.........

the flash tube is so small and it's clear next to the Luxeon on the side

actually I'm on working on a flash blade that uses a tiny 4kv camera flash hooked up to a shock sensor

Has anyone tinkered with the idea of using photoelectric phenomena to create air born plasma?

Yah, I think their wireless sound is a pretty innovative concept. I especially like the idea of programing. The thought of hearing 44htz saber sounds out of your stereo injunction with your saber...

yah, 500 is steep for a ROTJ saber

Depending on how deep the blade socket is, 2-4" of a chrome silver strip will do fine.This part is the last thing underneath everything else.
This is going to sound dumb but how do you post pics on...

I use hot glue for the tips and clear stretchy bonding tape around the seam of the cap.Just a thin strip of it.
2 "of light? are you referring to the chrome strip at the base if the blade?
That is...

No problem
I am here to help and support too because eventually someone is going to discover the ultimate saber blade and we will all be here to witness it[;)]

Hey, nobody is saying to go out and buy broadband mirrors. No one is forcing it down the throat. People want to know what I use and its as simple as that. There is no sale going on here. People ask...

yesssssssss versed indeed
you got it X-wing [8D]

It is also a matter of integrating a lot of equipment in the hilt.It would be awesome to have some kind of internal cavity that comes apart in two...

Actually I have a source for the mirrors. They are not that expensive for the size mirror. You are talking about 1" and up that is pricey. These mirrors only make a tiny bit of a difference. Every...

There lots of ways to create air plasma. A few years ago I made a device that used high pressure Argon with a spark gap driver. I know for a fact that if you were to build a small X-RAY light module...

that one is not mine
this one is

lol

That's very interesting...... Good for Parks and Lightech.Well, if it came down to it,The Parks and Lightech defense attorneys could have subpoena Graflex Armitage MPP and Homedepot with a written...

I would guess that it would be as bright as a spark gap from high voltage electrodes.only 3 foot arc instead of 1-2 inches
Here is a pic of my spark gap from a cold cathode driver....
