How to harness the power of a star

[Buba uognarf]

You forgot matter convert it directly into energy

Surely it would be far easier to just matter convert planets...

What about a Destiny style system where the ship relays the power through a SG or some other medium to ships and what have you.

[mickhhh]

Actually higher end ZPM figures place total ZPM output at above what an average star manages yearly.

a ZPM can put out much more power but a star will last much longer. if u just want an outpost that needs a fair bit of power then as long as it does not take to much resourses it might be worth it to use a star as an energy sourse.

[mickhhh]

It would be strong enough to suck the power from almost all of the sun and it wouldn't even need to make it at 1 AU distance, 1/10th AU is enough for just power captation not making a habitable Dyson sphere(My reasoning that a bug can resist *insert number* of staff blast that can break several feet of solid rock/granit than it can resist several hundred degrees celsius.)

You wanted 3 methods:

1)Engineer selfrepairing solarcell that does the same as the replicator block idea.(A lot cheaper)
2)Send ship with energy syphon into the sun and equiped with matter conversion technology and highly temperature resistent (shield included/not included depending if the ship is automated or not)
3)Ori draining shield over the sun.
4)Stargate into the sun,it will be on for how long as I need and it has been shown capable of surviving being connected to a black hole(Which stargate has survived a couple of years by then) while sucking enough of the stars mass to induce a supernova.
5)Super mondo planet sized replicator construct that deploys all over the sun and suck all energy and matter of the star.(several weeks and the star is gone)

I have a couple of more but most are variations of these.

imo the heat and gravity would be to much 4 a single layer of blocks.

1. maybe but they would have to be huge solarcells
2. why go in to a star if you could use the energy from a matter converter. if we could do that we could just beam in
huge pieces of rock
3 already said that
4 when Carter put the stargate into the star she said the stargate would last just long enough to turn the star supernova
5. how would that make the star go the repi cube would just melt.

10000 years of oceanic pressure of an area with a radius of about 2km, and the shield is a bubble, so the surface area can be calculated.

That actually would take very little power if the shields were configured right.

That actually would take very little power if the shields were configured right.

Well we know it takes large amounts of power to even activate the shields, so the pressures of the ocean would be added to whatever drain accompanied just leaving them on. If the shields weren't configured properly the shields could have been very inefficient. I assume they weren't configured specifically because no mention of it was made and it seems likely that Mkay would have to change it back in order to stop Wraith weapons.

Even so thats a low end calculation, its probably best to take a medium.

time for uberconstructs:

develop a large space station, and fill it with the most advanced databanks for beam storage you can find. the thing is like, 100x100x100 miles big, and well, filled with beaming nodes and storage devices.


next, build a super fusion reactor farm. a what? build about 14 1000m radius fusion reactors. the first seven are filled with hydrogen beamed up from the star (using the super beaming station). or just beam up the entire star. the material fuses, then the helium is tossed out into the next. helium fuses and eventually becomes iron.


the iron is tossed out, and helium is added again.

this way, the power of a star is harnessed. or juist build one supermassive fusion reactor.
