As someone mentioned in the Slashdot comments, they
are effectively adding a bunch of capacitors to the
surface of the vehicle. When they charge these
capacitors, it will polarize the dielectric between these
plates.
In short, any commander who gave the order to activate
this defense system could, in fact, tell his people to
“polarize the hull plating.”
Re: Bunch of capacitors
“polarize the hull plating.”
Can get these for my car when I have to park it downtown?And add some voice-operated commands for that Batman-esqe cool factor.
cool stuff
That “polarize the hull plating” is the first thing I thought of. Funny thing is, this is a low tech field. I wanna see one like the Enterprise had in First Contact where Picard shows the lady that the only thing between her and cold space is that force field….
