Well it could work during the dueling as your lightsaber is in constant motion during that time anyway.

even then, i dont think it would generate enough power to run the luxeon.

someone i guess could try it and let us know what happens.

Funny, I got one like that for christmas and first thing I thought was Lightsaber! I may pick an extra up and see what happens.

I have a flashlight that works similarly with a crank. The LEDs on it are fairly bright, but still nowhere near as bright as a luxeon. One of the first things I noticed was that it required a few minutes of cranking with the lights off to give it a decent charge, and the LEDs only stay bright for about that long. Even if the LEDs in the flashlight have similar power needs as a luxeon (which they don't) you would only be able to run your saber for about three minutes before it would begin to dim. Add to that the fact that a battery takes up much less space than one of these generators and you'll quickly realize that this is not really a viable option for saber builders. I would also suggest that if you are determined to test this for yourself, try using a multimeter rather than actually hooking up a luxeon. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble this way.
