Question

3A Part 2: Using scientific principles in science fiction.

This project involves the evaluation of different light saber or phaser designs.

Use your time machine to travel to the Starfleet Academy in the year 2150. Your task is to test various light sabers (or phasers) and rate them, recommending which should be chosen for use around the galaxy.

The primary test consists of observing how well the light saber or phaser cuts objects, but also evaluate things like ease of use, doesn’t break, etc.
