We know from Forever and a Day that one of the ways a ribbon device is powered (or perhaps a better word would be fueled) by the emotion of the one operating the device.
As we've seen on multiple occasions, Goa'uld personal shields (as well as ring transport controllers it seems) are activated from the ribbon device.
Does this mean that the Goa'uld personal shields are also fueled by emotion?
Secondly...can the personal shield defend someone from something non-tangible? For instance, we know it's affective against staffblasts and bullets and not affective against slower moving objects, such as handthrown knives and tranquilizer darts. But what about something like fire or heat or radiation?
Finally...and I'll confess this question's a little silly...the shape of the shield...it appears to be cylindrical. Could that not cause a problem if the attack were coming from above? Can the shape of the protective shield be manipulated to encapsulate the individual instead?
These little things have been driving me nuts for a while and I didn't know who to ask. I'm so glad I ventured over into the tech section!
I bow now to the wisdom of those who understand SG tech more than I and eagerly await your responses...
