"Earth Made" ZPMs

[Bragi]

It'd be pretty pointless to give us the ability to make our own ZPMs now, wouldn't it?

You've gotta remember that the show is nothing without challenge. It's the same as everyone saying "why don't the Ancients just stop the Ori armies?" Because there's no point to the show if everything is that easy.

It just becomes fanboi masturbation at that point.

The ancients were around for millions of years and their primary source of power was a zpm how could we possibley even comprehend how to build one, cmon now be serious.

[[SGC_ReplicÅtors]]

even a primitive version of it when oneil built one to go to the asgard homeworld when he ahd the info the ancients torrented into his head...hell the SGC didnt even know what dam thing was let alone no what it was for...all i no is they no how to check how much power is left and intrgrate it into ancients or tauri systems thats about it

[Gelasius]

i'm sure they can, with the help of the asguard i think they can. will writers ever let them, not likely. with an unlimited supply of zmp's they can turn atlantis into what it should be and use zpm's for all of their ships as well...they have to have an achilles heal with all that tech and theirs is not having sufficient power to run atlantis.

the "achilles heel" would be that they aren't as good as real zpm and are easily depleated. and they were able to replicate the Project Acturus experiment which does what zpms do on a larger scale so i think they would be able to build a zpm. weir also said there were weapon schematics in the database when are they going to try building them. besides with the asuran and wraith threat they need something.

Could leonardo da vinci build a microchip if given the complet specs and plans? no, he is missing the tools to actually do it.
Even if we have the full specs and plans, we still can't build a zpm, we don't have the tools.

[Franklyn Blaze]

We could give one to the asgard for study after the ori are defeated.

[Thor of The Asgard]

if theres anyone who can make something even remotly close to a zpm, thats the asgard... though i think nothing would match the ancients zmp...

and another thing, unrelated...
im getting really frustrated that everytime we meet ancients, they either die or leave...

[PrimatesForever]

Well how convienant would it be if there was a problem and the solution was 'Hey....ask the glowing dude!'


That'd make for a really sucky show. lol

[marty2006]

Right get this ok we cannot and will not be able to build zpms or mass produce them for god knows how long and if the asgard could build them then they would use them and we could ask them for some seeing the amount of favours they owe us however they cant because even they cant comprehend how to build them ok, and im sure if they thought they could reverse engineer one they would have asked us for one or found one themselves a long time ago.

lol me too man what frustrates me even more is everytime we get a zpm something happens to it i no it wouldnt make for good tv if we could defend ourselves 24/7 and be totally safe in atlantis however were about to go into the shows fourth season and we are still worrying about power i feel they should focus more on other storylines

Spoiler:

the biggest chance we had for getting the necessary technology for making zpms is probably in the ori galaxy right now on board that ori ship we sent back. from what i remember they left the device on the molecular synthesizer thing. being that it made the sangraal that had energy to destroy ascended beings, (which is similar to ZPM energy) its safe to assume it could have made a functional ZPM if assembled correctly

You know what you are probably right but if you have seen the Sg1 episode in season 10 with the bouty hunters you know that they manufactured a smaller scale Naquadah generator for the really cool gun carter used.
So really all they need to do is build some super duper Naquadah generators.
I mean some thing has to be powering the Daedalus class ship just make something more powerfull than that which would be proportional to a ZPM>


McKay could do it AND YOU could try to recreate the jumpers power systemand large scale it to power the life support for example and use the rest of the power for something else.

I'm a dreama huh.

i think the asguard could easily build a zpm if they were given the plans from the ancient database.

leonado probably couldn't .
but as for us not having the tools well we have atlantis and the asguard what else could we possibly need.

wasn't there one of those devices on each of the worlds they traveled to before daniel got captured by adria .
i think they were on the third world when she caught up to them .

yeah but what gets me is, the Ancients had 3 ZPM's powering Atlantis and 5 outpost each with a ZPM, so how did they find that many, they must of manufactured some!
