Ever wanted to own your own light saber like you have seen used in Star Wars films for years!

Check out thees great attempts at creating this powerful weapons!

THE FUTURE IS NOW! ... I am still waiting for my flying car... but hey.. a light saber would be cool too!

What are the physics behind a light saber? Wondering what your new light saber would be capable of or how the heck it works?? National Geographic has your answers from a scientific standpoint OR check out a few youtubers that have taken a stab at it! Check out these channelsl for entertaining lessons on its power!

Another creator is using laser power to achieve a similar effect:

If something that can actually cause harm is not your thing... watch these videos for the inspiring building of a prop saber.

This one is 3d Printed! A very cool technology that has surfaced in the recent years. 3d Printing allows you to bring your 2d work into the 3d world by physically building a model out of whatever material the printer operates on! I've seen plastics, metals and powders used! This is an exciting time to be around! imagine buying a car and having your 3d printer create your new vehicle right in your own driveway! We are not this far along just yet, but the future is bright for this technology.

Just for the dueling enthusiasts, I found a video clip that shows every light saber fight from the first 6 films! Enjoy-

From what I've learned, many materials and power source required for this to really work, have yet to be created. Projects like this inspire future generations to create. New inventions and discoveries are right around the corner! Who knows... You could help create the future!

I hope you found this as interesting as I did! The combination between art and science is inspirational. Use these links to make the next generation of light saber or find inspiration to create something entirely different! Post your thoughts and ideas here! Lets get this project into reality!
