Teaser: My new lightsaber "working" blade

[hyperdyne]

Hopefully I can start on a red blade tomorrow.

 

[nae1000]

that is truely awesome..

when you get round to it a comparisson on durability (hilt and blade) with a parks would be great to see-or at least typed.

and yet again- I WANT ONE..

 

[SithLord]

To repeat.....awesome...awesome....awesome.... :thumbsup :thumbsup

God I love the way it flares out to the tip at almost just the right speed and comes back when it is turned off....really incredible.

Yes.....RED....must.........have.................soon...... :confused

:cheers,

Thomas

ok, here is a prototype red blade. I have to tone it down some, it's too bright. :eek :eek It is showing up kind of orangish to the camera since it is saturating. But it really is a nice red color. One I add proper diffusing material I hope it will photograph better. I also did a preliminary test and this proto red blade is about 50% brighter than my modified MR Vader FX so far. :thumbsup

Anyway, here is a movie:
Red Saber Blade Proto

so is this a similar LED setup like Corbin Das has?

No it is totally different. My blade has a proper scrolling effect that keeps its brightness as the blade ignites/retracts.

A thing of beauty, indeed...

Very nice work...

I've had my experiences with all three technologies (plasma, EL (sheet and wire), and LED core) and let me say this is by far the best looking, whatever it is. I beg you to please offer these up for sale. If you made them to order and established there'd be a waiting period you should be well set. This would really be a dream come true.

 

[hyperdyne]

I am using an optical light solution right now, plus I am still working on some extra bells and whistles. Hopefully I will also have a custom aluminum hilt too. So please bear with me.

Holy Shiznits. Put me on the waiting list.

 

[sabersiao]

is the core flexible? i have seen fibre optics blade that are very flimsy and noisy.

 

[Hermes]

Master Fiberdyne, would you please PM me a tentative price on one of those Blade/Sound Modules? (other thing, you wouldn´t consider any trade, would you?)

 

[hyperdyne]

Thanks, if the project moves forward I will let everyone know.

The core is semi-flexible so it moves with the blade. You cant have a polycarb blade that flexes with a rigid assembly installed. That equals breakage.

 

[Mega Gigan]

Oh my friggin god does that look awesome. Please offer these in kits or for sale, whatever it doesn't matter. We must have them.

boo. hiss. :lol

That's amazing work, as always. One word comes to mind: Patent.

 

[hyperdyne]

Thanks guys.

Keep your pants on, updates will be forthcoming soon..

 

[hyperdyne]

Update: A new Bluetooth wireless sound module has been designed, as well as an in-the-hilt sound board w/ speaker.

Just got purple in so a purple blade is in the works.

Also got the rechargeable battery system in, works great.. No more taking your hilt apart to change batteries.

It's coming together, slowly but surely.

 

[Polluxius]

Look forward to seeing some more pics and updates.

Thanks for the update.

 

[hyperdyne]

Thanks.

A "shock" test video should be ready soon too. I banged around the red blade in a mock duel and it held up just fine.. Still shining bright.
