ZPMs or eyes?

[Da Vikster the Ori]

As we know, a ZPM can output enourmous anmounts of energy. We also know that anubis used "eyes" such as the eye of Ra to power his ships weapons, and we also know that they were of ancient design.

So, heres the question:

WHat can output more energy, A ZPM or all 6 eyes?

[RobJones]

im guna go with ZPM, because of the fact that its atlantian design which beats most tech that the goauld have. Thing is the snakes stole tech of the ancients sooo , hmmm not sure. those eyes were indeed damn powerful.

my answer - *Shrugs* lol

[jamesgilfoyle]

i would say ZPMs

[immhotep]

the eyes were not an anceint technology? they were a super weapon designed by the system lords, each got one of the control crystel so that it couldnt be used by just one of them, i assume they all got plans for it too just never had them put in to place because they wouldnt be able to use it. its wasnt alteran anceint it was just an anceint weapon - very old.
so i would go for the ZPM because the eyes are not actually a power source the eyes are control crystels.

[Eye Of Ra]

I would say a ZPM

[thomashortoncc]

i would have to say they are both very radically different technologies. The ZPM is an actual reactor providing power for systems including weapons for ancient ships (vast amount of energy), where as i believe that the eyes were used to channel or build up massive amounts of energy to a charge which could be released causing devastating effects. this would be backed up by the fact that the actual weapon seen on anubis' mothership wasnt 5 tiny eyes but rather a massive reactor. the eyes could have just stored a build up energy and released it when it got to a certain amount. thats why instead of seeing a directed energy beam or a pulse we saw lighting bolt's for example.

to answer the question i would have to say ZPMs because it is actually a power supply rather than just a channeling device

Ill have to agree, the eyes obviously werent a power source by themselves. You dont need to get 5 pieces of a ZPM to use it!

[NakedJehutyV2]

zpms since they're geniuine alterran tech. the eyes are cheap knockoffs

[rarocks24]

I would say ZPMs, plain and simple. Though I dislike what the ZPM does.

[LOKI LOKI]

ZPM's anything that can destroy solar systems when detonated has gotta contain a lot of power and im not sure about whether the eyes provide power or not the fact that anubis seeks naquadriah when he loses the eyes suggest they provide the power for his weapon just my opinion

How do you dislike what it does?!! It produces power! Do you dislike powerstations here in RL too?

[immhotep]

who doesnt? but i am intriged...is it the stealing of energy from anoter space time, the harmfully captivating glow, the sheer way they can trasform your entire outlook on the meaning of the word "power" or the simply all consuming lovelyness of their presense that you so hate, envy or dislike?

[beale947]

i would say ZPM

[Avatar28]

ZPM, no question about it.

[Da Vikster the Ori]

I'd say ZPM. Just wanted to know what everybody thought.

I'd doubt an eye could power an ancient forcefield for 3333 years like the ZPM in atlantis did
