They rarely discuss the Artificial Gravity Generators, or how the gravity is produced on a ship. I was wondering, in Camelot, when Col. Chekhov says "we have lost power," why don't they start floating since the the power was out?

Deus ex machina.
Suspension of disbelief.
It's really expensive to shoot zero-G scenes.

I assume that the artificial gravity is generated by the inertial dampening system...reverse engineered Goa'uld tech. Artificial gravity and inertial dampening are really the same thing, if you think about it. They don't state how it works, because they don't really know how the alien tech works.Comment

The Artificial Gravity probably has a "net" infrastructure within the ship. Each deck probably has its own gravity "net". A sort of literal 'net' spread out beneath the decks, with each having its own independent power source. That power source is undoubtedly a Naquada reactor. So, even if the main power goes offline, your okay. The gravity is run on a seperate power source.
The success or failure of your deeds, does not add up to the sum of your life. Your spirit cannot be weighed! Judge yourself by the intentions of your actions, and by the strength with which you faced the challenges that have stood in your way. The Universe is so vast, and we are so small, there is only truly one thing we can control; whether we are good or evil... -Oma Desala

Gravity is the force an object has on another
Inertia is the force an object has against changes in its velocity.

i agree, the artivicial gravily, and most likely lighting and life support aswell run on a different system to the rest of the ship, with a seperate power source...you might not even be able to affect or interface with it because its so inbuilt with the ship.sigpic

I'm guessing the explanation they'd give is that the artificial gravity is heavilt backed-up and intergrated into the ship.
The real explanation, as pointed out above, is that zero-g scenes are expensive to shoots as they either involves wires (difficult and time consuming to set up), or real zero-g, as in launching the set up in a plane, then sneding it into freefall. That's messy.

To be pedantic, "gravitational force" is the force of attraction between two masses. "Gravity" is the term used to describe the gravitational force between the earth and other bodies. It's like the difference between "weight" and "mass", which lots of people (wrongly) interchange.They are not the same.

Inertia is the force an object has against changes in its velocity.First, please use spoiler tags. If I want to know what happens in the show I'll watch it. Second, if you don't like the show, stop watching it. That way you won't feel the need to complain that a sci-fi entertainment show has "plot holes" or "isn't realistic". There is a difference between commenting on an episode you didn't like and constantly complaining about the series as a whole. After all, why torture yourself by watching something you don't like...Comment

Ha! Can you imagine how hard that would be. Funny to see the reactions when people accidently screw up a scene.Originally posted by TjomasCAn all new Stargate spinoff presents

inertia dampeners and artificial gravity arnt the same, but they are however conected. in ethon sam says that the artificial gravity fields is generated by the inertia dampeners
