The idea has been buzzing around in my head for some time that I wanted to make a light saber using lasers.
I also wanted it to have an adjustable length blade that fully retracts.
I have now built a proof of concept model using 3 5mw greenies, I took a movie of it with a bit of smoke tonight, I had too many things to hold to be able the change blade length whilst filming so I have spliced a few clips together, I was holding the camera with one hand whilst holding wires to a battery for the lasers so it is a bit shakey.

EDIT I have changed the movie after changing a bounce mirror and doing a bit of wiring, this one shows the blade closing...
