Star Wars Fans - REAL "Light" Saber

  • SpinRite v6.1 Release #3
    Guest:
    The 3rd release of SpinRite v6.1 is published and may be obtained by all SpinRite v6.0 owners at the SpinRite v6.1 Pre-Release page. (SpinRite will shortly be officially updated to v6.1 so this page will be renamed.) The primary new feature, and the reason for this release, was the discovery of memory problems in some systems that were affecting SpinRite's operation. So SpinRite now incorporates a built-in test of the system's memory. For the full story, please see this page in the "Pre-Release Announcements & Feedback" forum.

  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

    (You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)

Hi Star Wars fans. I ran across this on YouTube and thought I'd pass it along.

There is now a REAL "Light" Saber. Actually it's a laminar flow propane oxygen torch with a 2 - 3 FOOT flame. But, it's really close to a Star Wars Light Saber and it's REALLY cool.

Disclaimers, the videos are silly, they add sound effects, they have sponsors, and it's a LITTLE less powerful than a Star Wars Light Saber.

Enjoy.

One possible exception (of many) is that if there were two of these they would pass through each other's blades when trying to use them for fencing :) Looks cool though :)

The way they got the flame to flow was spectacular. I'm glad to see ambitious projects like these from minds capable of doing this sort of thing. Their collaborations are pretty amazing too.
