    clean power

    ok we ships that can power sheilds weaponsand a hole bunch of other stuff
    so y cant we make another one of the power sorcies that power the ships and use it to power the gate for dialing to peagisis

    proberly because the power needed to power the gate would need a lot more power than the ship would normnally use

        Because creating reactors for vessels takes quite alot of resources and time and the gain isn't motivated by the cost at the time obviously. Besides, 18 days isn't that long.

        And how about a better title next time?

          what about sheilds we could get gebnoraters for those

            planatary shields?? yea im sure everyone would love that all radio and tv signals blocked due to the ioniseing particales hat make up shields

              Ionizing particles? What?

              Radio waves are not ionizing radiation and they're quite capable of penetrating the ionosphere. It's generally a good idea to try and keep the ionizing radiation above the ionosphere. I'm sure shields could be made that allow radio signals to pass.

                because with all the oney u would spend on making how ever many reactors u need to power the gate and make a worm hole back to atlantis, the gate can't be used to attack other ships or go places where the gate can't. i would rather spend my money on a ship like the daundlus(spl?) then on a gate that only goes to one place.

                    Earth's gate was once powered briefly by a staff weapon power core to open a wormhole to Thor's homeworld. In another episode the generating capacity of a CVN was used to repeat the process. So the power requirements for intergalactic gate travel are not insurmountable. Between 50 and 100 Mw it seems will open the gate for a few seconds. In another episode 5 or 6 Mk1 naquadah generators opened a wormhole from Atlantis to Earth for a second or so, the Mk2 generator is 200 times more powerful, though at such outputs it's life is short. So where the Mk1's output may be in the 10's of Mw, prosumably the Mk2 output is in the Gw range.

                      Naquadah Reactor Mark2 is 600% more efficient, not 20000%

                      Oh and WTH is a CVN? Aircraft Carrier?=)

                        Jack improvised and made a ZPM type power source.

                        Whats a CVN

                        The ep your talking about was Letters from pegasus and they used the remaining juice in the zpm to open the wormhole for 1 1/2 seconds

                          We don't know if he made a ZPM or not.

                            I know he didnt make a ZPM, im saying that he made something like ZPM

                              A "ZPM Type" power source would probably still use ZPE and therefore be a ZPM=))
