Will we ever be able to build a ZPM?

[MiniHerc]

I know a lot of people will bash me for asking this but i thought i'd get peoples thoughts. We've seen a human with ancient knowledge (o'neill) build a less advanced version of a ZPM in SG1 S3 using naquada and earth equipment. So it is possible but just we have less advanced technology (duuuuhhhhh). But how long do you ppl think it will take us to learn how to build a fully functional one if we ever do? years? decades? centuries? Mil... ok i'm stopping there

The thing that made me wonder this is that i've been reading a few of the virtual stargate spinoffs: horizon, destiny etc and noticed that whenever talk about zpms come up the characters say "we don't have any" so i'm not sure whether to believe there aren't any found or they just don't have the parts to make it.

Your thoughts...

the notes on how to build a zpm, schmatic, materials needed and instruction manual, is somewhere in the ancient Database, but i having a feeling that it may be Passworded???!!!!! only time will tell. keeping watching for your answer. i guess 4 more seasons. and to build one would take 6-12 months.

IMO, not for a very, very long time.

When O’Neill had the repository of the ancients download in to his mine he built one in the fifth race

[Raj_2006]

y can't we just build those, they where quite powerfull and it was built out of things from earth and T's staff weapon.

[Stuey1221]

I still reckon theres a processing plant somewhere in the unactivated parts of the city!

Not a ZPM, just a really really strong naq generator. A ZPM is a bit more complex, also it would ruin alot of the plot (same reason why they cant just make another generator).

[The Ori]

Yeh I don't think that theyll be able to build one or very very long. The good thing about Stargate is that it is science fiction and fantasy that is set in our time here and now. If they are able to build an unbelievable power source it will make the show too futuristic. So I doubt that they'll be able build it for time. But I have no doubt that they will find ZPM's whether in SGA or SG1, but yeh and they use it to power atlantis.

[nemisis]

they will be able to make a zed.p.m i belive sooner than you think(i no ill get killed for sayin this)but it says in season 3 i think you all no about te asurans but it says that they have the cableity to make zed.p.m.s my idea is that its in part of there city-ship and they show us it then we fianly get back to atlantis we use are part to try and make some but havent anoth power then that part hapens to get destoyed when the asurans attack atlantis.

They're completely different types of energy sources.

[DrPepperJunkie]

i honestly can't see us being able to make a ZPM until a newer, more efficient power source is introduced. i mean, if we could make ZPMs at will, woudln't that be a little too convient story-wise? too many stories could be resolved by simply plugging in a ZPM.

[NakedJehutyV2]

10-50 million years

[2ndgenerationalteran]

short answer... no

reason, even though its less than 40 million years old we are far behind that, though the data base can give blue prints we dont know what that crap is and we have no one telling us if we are building it right

[ascott08]

i think they may a factory, in a couple of seasons time and then uild one or two before it breaks/gets destroyed, just to get them out of an extreme situaion. probably once the current zpm runs out

[oscar_skywalker]

Soon or late we would find where the ZPM produced by ancients, as we found where they build the gunship, so just matter of the time we would find it. and after we find if there are any ZPM ready we would pick them up and if there are any chance to produce more with current technology what ancient left we would produce more if wraiths give us a chance to do that.

That’s all we see.
