    Energy requirements

    The main problem in Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis is, that they havn't enough energy. Why they don't use the asgard beaming technology to produce more ZPMs. They would have to load the buffer with a ZPM and copy the data. So they could produce ZPMs like Oxygen, water,... in "Unending".

    This has been asked loads of times. Basically it's probably not possible to create an artificial piece of subspace with the transporters or the matter creating thing.

      And we still haven't mastered how to create the shell - that information hasn't been retracted from the database yet.

        ummm... look up the law of conservation of energy and you will see why they haven't done that yet.

          But we don't know how the transported item is stored temporarily, do we? Maybe the pattern is stored as data, while the actual energy is converted to some basic form. In that case it would simply (oh well) be a matter of feeding it more energy and using the same pattern data to rematerialize another object.

              Stargate should start paying their electricity bills!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear that if the Gate became public Duracell or Energizer will slap their names onto ZPM production

                Its been asked before and some one said it would draw energy from the same pocket of subspace, if your ZPM is dead your pocket of subspace will be enmpty.

                  ZPM contains a pocket of subspace. It is not a link to a pocket of subspace contained in somewhere else.
                  So if we wanted yes we could just copy a zpm by using the transporter beam tech. Just copy the data and add the energy... Just one thing missing... No its not the subspace pocket being unaccessable by the transporter(they beamed a zpm in the siege of atlantis SGA 2-01 and the zpm did still have all its energy). But what I think is that the energy is not stored in a buffer... only the data is stored into the buffer while matter(and energy) is transported directly to the destination in it's basic form(mayby the khyron that thor mentioned in one of the replicator episodes). and reassembled by the transporter tech using the data on the buffer. So we don't know if you could add the energy and even if we could you still would need as much energy as the zpm has(its own matter too E=mc^2)+ the energy for the transporter to make it assemble the energy in a shape of zpm

                    A transported object is stored in a buffer of some sort though it may be momentarily, that is why Cameron and Carter explained why loading them into the buffer would not work. Since weve seen a ZPM beamed before (Siege Pt 3), and we know the Asgard transporter cannot provide enough power to create a new fully charged ZPM it is most likely that it when it was beamed the ZPM's device its self was dematerialized (when in the buffer the ZPM was "turned off") and when it was reintegrated its basic programing turned it back on drawing from the same pocket of subspace it drew from earlier. If it contained subspace within the device there would have had to have been a mechanism to access subspace first making it a link.

                      I agree that the zpm acts as a link between the pocket of subspace and what ever device it's plugged into. But it has been stated in the show meny times that a zpm contains a artifiacially created subspace pocket(or something like that). So when transported by the beam the pocket also gets beamed And thus you would need a hell of a big buffer to store all the energy of zpm. Mayby the asgard use a pocket universe or something as a buffer(that would explain why the buffer doesn't blow up when you beam a zpm).
