ZPM Problem?

[Calicto]

Well from information from SCI FI's Altantis Site under the ZPM information under technology, it can be deduced that the ZPM problem does not have much weight in the plotline to Atlantis.

It's stated that the city is powered by 3 ZPM. I realize that it might be extremely hard to find these 3 ZPM, but they know that it is on Atlantis and they can be found.

Therefore, I guess that this ZPM problem might not have much weight.

The city was ONCE powered by three ZPMs, but they reached what is called maximum entropy and will no longer function. Presumably, the team knows where they are and are studying them. Also, you should add a spoiler warning to your thread.

What u 2 are saying ??? there is other ZPM in atlantis ??? ... personally i'm sure O'neill can easily find more ZPM, They just have to sit in the chair and see other ancients planet ... and go there with prometheus ! In atlantis they can do the same ****ing thing with the puddle jumper ...

Damn its not funny if they find 10ZPM in 12 episode then they willl never do what I said ... Booring

There are several probelms with what you just said.
1. There is no power to the Ancient Outpost in Atlantis, so they can't just go "look anything up."
2. If they could of they would have done so before the team went to Atlantis.
3. One of the main goals of Atlantis is to find more ZPMs, but the information isn't just sitting around waiting for them.

Yes, they were what powered the forcefield upon their arrival in Rising. We then saw that they were essentially drained of power.

... personally i'm sure O'neill can easily find more ZPM, They just have to sit in the chair and see other ancients planet ... and go there with prometheus ! In atlantis they can do the same ****ing thing with the puddle jumper ...

Jack (or anyone, really) was only able to properly control the chair at the Ancient outpost while he had the Ancient Repository downloaded to his brain. Once Thor removed that gunk from his brain, he was no longer able to properly use the chair.

I'm sorry, but where was this information from?

[Gorthaur]

it was shown in the first ep atlantis that anyone with the gen can use the chair if it still has power that is.

[VirtualCLD]

But only harddrive full Jack and Sheppard were able to use the chair reliably. Even so, we don't know if Sheppard would be able to control thousands of drones like Jack did before his HD was re-formatted.

rocket4477 > u r wrong, the city can still be powered with our ZPM, there is style juice in ... we just can't power the weapons

Which are you talking about, the Antarctic outpost or Atlantis?
SPOILERS for Rising and Zero Hour








Firstly, the ZPM we had here on earth was completely dead, they said this in Zero Hour. Secondly, we got rid of it by sending it to Baal as a trick, so we no longer have. We now have a ZPM with at least 50% of charge remaining, but it's booby trapped and would blow up our solar system if used.

All of Atlantis's ZPMs are also dead, so there's no help there either.

No, we know that it has 'at least' 50% charge. It could be 90% for all we know. Our equitment just isn't good enough.


Hopefully carter can fix the booby trapped ZPM.

[VirtualCLD]

Sorry, I meant at least 50%. You're right.

EDIT: Fixed it.

They're going to find at least one ZPM on they're own. During the Atlantis preview if you watch carefully one clip is of one of them in a forest messing with a machine of some sort and a glowing ZPM rises from it.

I don't think that's a ZPM, we'll have to wait and find out on that one.

First of all, there were several components that Jack O'neill used in making his makeshift ZPM in one episode to reach the Asgard (sp?). Why didn't they make some kind of copy or schematic or research the component requirements used to build another and thereby adding the components not found on earth to a list of items SG teams would search for on other planets? This is an issue that will continue to plague us throughout the series because you need to have shortcomings, or pitfalls to continue to evolve the storylines of the Stargate Genre.

Actually, someone pointed out to me, in that epsiode, he never made schematics of the ZPM, he only made schematics of the DHD to save Carter and the team she was with.

It is. You can barely see it on a picture on GateWorld and it's shown in the Lowdown too I believe... of course, they probably won't be taking it with them, that would be too easy

The planet is protected from the Wraith by a powerful electromagnetic field. Bet the ZPM powers said defense system, probably installed by the Ancients trying to protect it after the Wraith began their sweeping across the unprepared planets of humans.
