The tree of hope and fear
Mission:
To combine burning man's 2006 theme "the future: hope and fear" with the star war's theme "A long time ago in a galaxy far away."

I am BadActing SceneStealer, A.K.A. BadASS, leader of 1000 Jedi. I have seen a vision of thousands of Burners Playing with light sabers during the night.

And I have seen a vision of trees. Trees represent the future, and the past. They are tall, changing slowly, magestic, cyclic, and a part of everyones experience.


Hope A tree of hope, made up of light sabers. Being that I am bringing 3000 light sabers to the playa this year, I thought i would be good to spare 1000 from combat, and extrude the hope that such a weapon of peace inspires.

The light sabers are one piece units, and very bright. Made up of bright and energy efficient LED's They take 3 batteries each, and will last a long time.


Fear

The tree of fear: The dark side. Nothing is more scary than some old dude in a cloak extruding sparks. This tree does the same. The coil is from JM labs and has been proven to be a safe and reliable spark generator. I have been shocked by this coil and have suffered no ill effects-- as the frequency is tuned to one that does not interfere with human nerve centers. The tree will be metal rods attached to the tesla coil as shown. Pretty neat, huh?

Here is a sample of it running for christmas
