  • Anti-gravity shield
rdfs:comment
  • The anti-gravity shield was a device developed by the Ancients to protect ships against powerful sources of gravity such as a black hole. The device could be built with Earth technology but needed a specific power core to run it as it required so much power, that not even a naquadria generator could power it. However, if the wiring was wrong, the wiring would burn out quickly during use. The wiring could be replaced by wiring from a MALP, but it would only last a few minutes before the device burned out for good. The shield is designed to be deployed around a ship and if used as protection against a black hole, it shields the ship against both intense gravity and time dilation effects.

abstract
  • The anti-gravity shield was a device developed by the Ancients to protect ships against powerful sources of gravity such as a black hole. The device could be built with Earth technology but needed a specific power core to run it as it required so much power, that not even a naquadria generator could power it. However, if the wiring was wrong, the wiring would burn out quickly during use. The wiring could be replaced by wiring from a MALP, but it would only last a few minutes before the device burned out for good. The shield is designed to be deployed around a ship and if used as protection against a black hole, it shields the ship against both intense gravity and time dilation effects. However, to interact with anyone outside of the shield bubble on a planet affected by the black hole's time dilation, the shield had to be dropped. While using the shield, a ship can safely jump to hyperspace while within a black hole's radius, but it can be dangerous. (SG1: "A Matter of Honor", "The Cost of Honor")
