Bao-Dur Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 3 Years? If it took them 3 years to build a laser, then a X-wing prototype might not be far away! (Excluding the Hyperdrive of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevanA4 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 they probably were working on it before I knew about it but I've known about this topic for at least 3 years yes I am a science nerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE MANDALORE Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 3 Years? If it took them 3 years to build a laser, then a X-wing prototype might not be far away! (Excluding the Hyperdrive of course) If there's no hyperdrive, then it's just a normal spacecraft. I dream of the day we invent a hyperdrive.

Jeff Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 It's so cool to see the stuff I watch over and over (star wars) becoming an almost reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Phaedrus_ Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 ...now hurry up with those handheld blasters already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witchfinder Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 The problem is not in the lasers, but in creating a a small enough energy source capable of powering one. You guys should check out Michio Kaku's book "Hyperspace" : http://www.mkaku.org/books/hyperspace/ Also, check out this "Future Force Warrior" system: http://science.howstuffworks.com/ffw.htm http://www.natick.army.mil/soldier/wsit/ http://media.militaryphotos.net/photos/album112?page=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC-1162 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 actually, i think were referring to military technology of the Star Wars universe. maybe they should focus more on creating lightsabers and assigning them to Shaolin monks - Earth's equivalents of jedi, Vladimir Vlada will be pleased to see the new doorway on his path to the arts of the jedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rok_stoned Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 umm how much plasma will it atke to power one of these lasers because in the small ones they don't seem to deplete there energy very fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
