  Sabre   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The sabre or saber (see spelling differences) traces its origins to the European backsword and usually but not always has a curved, single-edged blade and a rather large hand guard, covering the knuckles of the hand as well as the thumb and forefinger.
The length of sabres varied, and most were carried in a scabbard hanging from a shoulder belt known as a baldric or from a waist-mounted sword belt.
Originally, the sabre was used as a cavalry weapon that gradually came to replace the various straight bladed cutting sword types on the battlefield.

 Science Fair Projects - SABRE
SABRE (Synergic Air BReathing Engine) is a proposal for a hydrogen-fuelled airbreathing rocket engine/jet engine for propelling launch vehicles into low earth orbit.
SABRE is the ultimate design of Alan Bond's series of LACE and LACE-like designs that started in the early/mid-1980s for the HOTOL project.
Instead of one large "one size fits all" engine as in HOTOL, SABRE uses two pure-rocket engines centered behind a large shock cone in the center, surrounded by a ring of smaller combustors similar to an afterburner on a conventional jet engine.

SABRE is a proposal for a hydrogen-fuelled airbreathing rocket engine/jet engine that is designed to propel the winged Skylon launch vehicle into orbit.
SABRE operates in a different manner, using a precooler and a series of smaller combustion chambers that can run on smaller flow rates and are "tuned" for different performance levels.
The precooler for SABRE uses a closed-loop liquid helium cooling system, which in turn is cooled by the liquid hydrogen fuel.

Whereas the RB545 liquified the air, SABRE merely cools it dramatically, using a gaseous helium coolant loop.
In addition, the precooler is also the most aggressive and difficult part of the whole SABRE design; the mass of this heat exchanger is an order of magnitude better than has been achieved previously; experimental work has proved that this can be achieved, and small sections of a real precooler now exist.

Variation to these positions takes place with Sabre fencing, as the alteration of the target area and the method of attack with the weapon make the former positions less than fully effective.
Skill at parrying tends to be less important than a fencer's ability to control the distance between himself and his opponent.
When fencing with Foil or Sabre, there exist rules of right of way (required prior to being able to execute a hit), which are obtained either by extension of the fencing arm, or by the way of contact with the opponents weapon while they have right of way.

SABRE (Synergic Air BReathing Engine) is a design for a hypersonic hydrogen-fuelled air breathing combined cycle rocket engine/jet engine for propelling the Skylon launch vehicle into low earth orbit (LEO).
