I Think They Have Finally Created Affordable Lightsabers

The Artic emits a 445nm cool blue, ultra high power 1W beam which appears up to 4000% brighter than the Sonar's 405nm violet beam. This direct blue laser diode is the result of the evolution of laser technology. Less than one year ago, this laser would have cost thousands of dollars to build. Don't let the Arctic name fool you, this laser possesses the most burning capabilities of any portable laser in existence. That's why it's also the most dangerous laser ever created.

200 bucks sounds good

Lightstabbers? =Dxaos

Cant wait for the red sith edition

[QUOTE="EJ902"]And they actually trust people with lasers that powerful? Well regardless of what the man says, that looks bossweezyfb

No, Arms means firearms.

Besides how powered lasers have been restricted ever since they have existed. If that thing is real it can't be for civilian use.

To my knowledge, it's not possible to have lasers that suddenly end like lightsabers. Or to be visible from the side in clear air.Gallion-Beast

You have to physically stop the laser, like adding something to point is at based on the lenght you want. Also a powerfull enough laser would be visible in plain daylight.

I just hope they do it before i die.

You can just make it brighter than the light surrounding it, or add something to light up from the hilt to the tip.

Hell im willing to smoke near the saber just to look cool.

That's pretty cool...i'd end up severing one of my own limbs most likely..

You can blind people with it too! Permanently!

Years ago when laser pointers were cool and every ****kid had one I ended upgetting another new prescription lensebecause some ****kid flashed me directly in my left eye. I'm not blind but ever since I could only see out of one eye without corrective lenses.

Carry that thing around and nobody would dare mess with you. I wan't one.

EDIT: Is it as powerful as the ones in Star Wars? How long is it? How long would it last?

What? If this is real, I'll buy one tomorrow because I don't sit around just talking to the armchair experts because this is a college seminar. I talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose *** to kick.

:lol:

I wonder how long the effective range for burning is...

I wouldn't go near one

What? That thing is a ****4 Laser for $200 bucks. You can get cancer with this thing. Evenlooking at the dot on matte surfaces can get you blind, i have no freaking idea how they think they can sell this. If this thing actually gets shipped (and Gizmodo is getting one soon) expect hundreds of accidents involving houses on fire and alot of blind kids.

It burns pretty much every surface almost instantly. That means your skin. And the NOHD 211 meters (.25 seconds unaided eye)That means that you need to be 700 feet away to be safe of the exposure of this laser for a quarter of a second. The longer the exposure, the longer the NOHD... This thing should be ilegal.

Think about that

Saw this earlier. The thought that any d-bag can buy one for just 200 bucks is unsettling. :?Tauruslink

Oh i want one. Can it be green?

cool. now when the school bullies come out i can use my new lightsaber. think again :P do u think its a chick magnet

No, Arms means firearms.

i want blasters :evil:

do.want.

Yeah... did they really think this was a good idea? Are they marketing this as a techno-saw for cutting wood conveniently or are they marketing this as a lethal weapon? Are Class 4 lasers even legal? Honestly the thought of anyone being able to own this is a horrifying idea. There are a lot of morons in the world, and many will end up blind/killed or causing other people to end up blind/killed. This is about as stupid as having flamethrowers legal (and yes they are in most states).

According to the website, it can "set fire quickly to skin."

Anyone else want a youtube vid of this?!

An invisible beam of death is better anyways.

Actually, adding a mass whos color isnt as bright or brighter than the laser to the lasers point of origin will make it visible. The problem is that a laser would most likely melt it.

Put these on robots and send them to Iraq. Have the laser pinpoint eyeballs. We'd win the war.

"It will blind permanently and instantly and set fire quickly to skin and other body parts..."

I think im gonna pass on this one.............
