Random Non Sequitur?
[edit]- According to Newton's laws of motion, every action must have an equal and opposite reaction. The second law states that force equals mass times acceleration. One of the equations for energy in pgysics is E=1/2 M V^2 where E is energy, M is mass and V is velocity.
Does this statement have anything to do with the paragraph, much less the article? --SunWuKong 06:16, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Yes. It says that if a projectile of mass M and velocity V will need the energy E to be absorbed by the shield. -- Tomcat 10:01, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
How a deflector shield could be made
[edit]If you emit a powerful magnetic field around a ship, and then fire "alpha" and "beta" radiation through, this would ionise all matter entaring, and would be deflected by the shield.
Contact me about this idea at aphirst@hymers.hull.sch.uk

Merge from Shield (science fiction)
[edit]I felt this articles title was better than the clumsy 'Shield (science fiction)' Orange Goblin 18:44, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
How to make such shield?
[edit]I have a question about that theory. How bulky would that be and how smaller could become throught 15-20 years? P.S. Sorry if I made some mistakes. I'm not speaking english very well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.29.75.28 (talk • contribs) 19:07, 18 December 2005 (UTC).
- Deflector shields don't exist. They're fictional. So individual authors (screenwriters, whatever) decide how bulky they are, and how much they can be made compact. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 06:27, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Shields that the gungans used in Star wars?
[edit]If Star treck has a section than star wars definitely needs one. -greg (67.183.107.251) 07:01, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- Sure. Why don't you start writing it? :-) -- Tomcat 09:59, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
If every science fiction movie's version of deflector shields were to go up here, this would be a huge article...
--Dmfallak 19:29, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Still, you might be able to get away with a few citations exploring the evolution of the fictional concept. The The Skylark of Space series is one early appearance of the concept, in the form of the "repeller effect" in the first novel and the "zone of force" in the second.
- Also, should this article be merged with deflector shield and force field (science fiction)?

Don't forget those polygonal personal shields used in Dune.. --unsigned
- Holtzman effect - apparently predated by a novel called The Paradox Men, and possibly earlier. --68.44.13.236 23:20, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
UFO Case
[edit]I have found a UFO case in which someone shot at a UFO, only that the projectile had hit the UFO's Deflector shields and disintergrated. The subject used a 12 ga. shotgun loaded with deer slugs or Bernudi slugs. The latter can destroy a car's engine block. Martial Law 23:47, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
