A lightsaber is a fictional weapon in the Star Wars universe, a "laser sword." It consists of a polished metal hilt which projects a blade of Plasma about 1.33 meters (1.45 yards) long. The lightsaber is the signature weapon of the Jedi order and their Sith counterparts, both of whom can use them for close combat, or to deflect blaster bolts. Its distinct appearance was created using rotoscoping for the original Star Wars films, and digitally for the prequel trilogy. The lightsaber first appeared in the original Star Wars film (1977) and every Star Wars movie to date (except The Star Wars Holiday Special) has featured at least one lightsaber duel. In 2008, a survey of approximately 2,000 film fans found it to be the most popular weapon in film history, generally seen as "fan-freakin-tastic"

The lightsaber's blade cuts through most substances without resistance. It leaves cauterized wounds in flesh, but can be deflected by another lightsaber's blade, or by energy shields. Some exotic saber-proof materials have been introduced in the Expanded Universe. An active lightsaber gives off a distinctive hum, which rises in pitch and volume as the blade is moved rapidly through the air. Bringing the blade into contact with an object or another lightsaber's blade produces a loud crackle.

The term "lightsaber" has been applied to other similar weapons in science fiction

tha I am fill with dread 

a falling rock makes circular ripples radiating 
sound waves of musical gun powder smell 
of a memory fusion the noise 
is deafening

like a 
heartbeat in a 
tunnel that gets 
louder and louder like 
the fear of a time bomb ... 

the same organ that 
pulsates in my 
mouth

like the 
meditation of 
milking a seahorse on 
an echelon bending my mind  
this kind of smooth it roughs me 
up triggers me my head crashing on 
a rock the crack as my boat hurled up 
heaving splinters in rhythmic tidal waves 

consuming sounds joining like something
familiar I never heard a kinsman I 
never saw something terrifying 
and totally mind-blowing I
just can't seem to
push on …

A pulser pump makes use of water that flows through pipes and an air chamber from an upper reservoir to a lower reservoir. The intake is a trompe, which uses water flow to pump air to a separation chamber; air trapped in the chamber then drives an airlift pump. The top of the pipe that connects the upper reservoir to the air chamber is positioned just below the water surface. As the water drops down the pipe, air is sucked down with it. The air forms a "bubble" near the roof of the air chamber. A narrow riser pipe extends from the air chamber up to the higher elevation to which the water will be pumped

Initially the water level will be near the roof of the air chamber. As air accummulates, pressure builds, which will push water up into the riser pipe. At some point the "air bubble" will extend below the bottom of the riser pipe, which will allow some of the air to escape through the riser, pushing the water that is already in the pipe up with it. As the air escapes, the water level in the air chamber will rise again. The alternating pressure build up and escape causes a pulsing effect, hence the name: pulser pump

Impulse pumps include: Hydraulic ram pumps - uses pressure built up internally from released gas in liquid flow.  Pulser pumps - run with natural resources, by kinetic energy only. Airlift pumps - run on air inserted into pipe, pushing up the water, when bubbles move upward, or on pressure inside pipe pushing water up

A hydraulic ram is a water pump powered by hydropower.
It functions as a hydraulic transformer that takes in water at one "hydraulic head" (pressure) and flow-rate, and outputs water at a higher hydraulic-head and lower flow-rate. The device uses the water hammer effect to develop pressure

Screw pumps are a more complicated type of rotary pumps, featuring two or three screws with opposing thread —- that is, one screw turns clockwise, and the other counterclockwise. The screws are each mounted on shafts that run parallel to each other; the shafts also have gears on them that mesh with each other in order to turn the shafts together and keep everything in place. The turning of the screws, and consequently the shafts to which they are mounted, draws the fluid through the pump. As with other forms of rotary pumps, the clearance between moving parts and the pump's casing is minimal

The Wankel engine is a type of internal combustion engine using an eccentric rotary design to convert pressure into a rotating motion instead of using reciprocating pistons. Its four-stroke cycle takes place in a space between the inside of an oval-like epitrochoid-shaped housing and a rotor that is similar in shape to a Reuleaux triangle but with sides that are somewhat flatter. The very compact Wankel engine delivers smooth high-rpm power. It is commonly called a rotary engine

The milking unit is the portion of a milking machine for removing milk. It is made up of a claw, four cups, (Shells and rubber liners) long milk tube, long pulsation tube, and a pulsator. The claw is an assembly that connects the short pulse tubes and short milk tubes from the cups to the long pulse tube and long milk tube. (Cluster assembly) The annular space between the shell and lining is called the pulse chamber

Milking machines work in a way that is different from hand milking or calf sucking. Continuous vacuum is applied inside the soft lining to massage milk from the tip by creating a pressure difference across the tip canal (or opening at the end of the tip). Vacuum also helps keep the machine attached. The vacuum applied to the tip causes congestion of tissues accumulation of blood and other fluids. Atmospheric air is admitted into the pulsation chamber about once per second the pulsation rate to allow the lining to contract around the end of tip and relieve congestion in the tissue. The ratio of the time that the lining is open milking phase and closed rest phase is called the pulsation rati
