Naquadah Reactor Vs IronMan Arc Reactor

[Tatsu.ZZmage]

I'm sorry in advance if this subject already exist.
Ok I want to know your thoughts on this I've see the power out put specs of Starks Arc reactor but i haven't been able to find any specs on the Naquadah Reactors peek power out put in any quantifiable form. ie joules or watts any one have this info.

Hmm,...it'd be quite interesting! I'll do a search
What's the details on Starks Arc Reactor? And where'd you find the info please?

well, i prefer the arc reactor simply because it can be so small/travel size! it would be much easier to carry one with you in case you have to manually dial a gate....

Naq reactors are as big as a laptop, a little bit bigger. Maybe as big as an xbox (not a 360)

Which yields more power? I would think that the Naquadah generator does, but I could be wrong. And, Stark's reactor looked very similar to the top of a ZPM.

These threads are awful. They take nerdyness to a whole new level.

They take nerdyness to a whole new level?!
This is what Gateworld is all about!

I had a similar reaction, but the cosmetic similarities shouldn't factor into any comparisons.

I wish I could remember the exact numbers he spits out in the movie, but all I remember is his friend saying that's enough power to run one heart for five (ten, fifteen?) lifetimes, to which he responds, "or something really big for about fifteen minutes."

But since I don't fully understand the units of measurement anyway, it's ultimately pointless.

I think the naquahdah reactor gives more power, the stark reactor thingy was designed to power a suit made for 1 man, the naq reactor can power a whole ship (Prometheus, parts of Atlantis, ...)

I would definitely expect the naquadah generator to be more powerful, but, Stark upgraded his original reactor, and I think it was somewhere around ten times more efficient than the original one (so the newer one could probably power something big for who knows how long). And we have no idea how powerful the larger, but yet older arc reactor is.

On overload, a Mark I Naquadah Generator will create a 20 Kiloton Nuclear Explosion (SG1: Death Knell).
