That is mildly amusing.

what's really interesting is to take the sections and find real life objects whith similar properties. from the power source foward I can get as far as the primary crystal and it gets fuzzy becouse whoever desinged the therory had little understanding of electronic and put things in the wrong order whith the location of the crystal chamber there would be a part of the blade inside of the handle destroying the feild generating conponents. Anyway the parts whith real life counterparts that I have identified are the power suply which resembles a very high effientcy beta-voltiac of a practical desing for the porpose. They missing the switch that should come imediatly after this and before the primary crystal. The primary crystal while in the diagram looks like pure fancy is however quite real as a representation when you learn that laser emiting diodes are made fro specialized vat grown crystals that make their effientcy possible and made portable lasers posible. The crystal chamber has been proven to make it posible to maintain a holographic image of a beam of light that is of limited dimencion, but the aray of coils while would be able to creat a elctromagnetic feild should be surounding the crystal chamber which should be elongated to the end of the handel,bau it questionable of what good or porpose the coils would do as I havent found a real life counterpart for the use of the electromagnetic feild. I have supicions that its acually partical accelerator but do nut know enough about their construction to verify the posibility whithin their design.

Azzalel Thanks for the link. Cool! I like the girl ready with her lightsaber verses the guy with a tire iron.

Practical everyday home uses for a lightsaber....very funny, especially cutting a bagel!
