The sound of a Mjolnir shield recharging is superb. You can almost feel the energy dispensed by the generators to rebuild and recharge the personal shield. Also, the in-built alert of shield loss feels grounded in reality, you must know you are no longer safe, you must go and take cover! In the same time, I like how Mass Effect shields react to incoming projectiles (they look like they ionize the air around them to disperse the sudden energy burst) and the effect of the shield recharging itself completely (the blue line rising up from the feet like saying: OK, now you're completely safe, again).

When talking about the personal shields in Dune, you said that their vibrations were what attracted sandworms. While they can be attracted by vibrations, the specific presence of a Holtzmann field drives worms into a berserk rage, attracting many more than something like a thumper. Thus, suspensors will also attract worms as well as shields, as seen in the first chapter of Dune: House Harkonnen.
@danielbeck27394 жыл бұрын
I remember reading that too in some of the novels, the repulsors and shield emitters had a high sub-sonic frequency they emitted when active. And sand being almost as conductive with sound as water in a way just drove everything within 3k nuts. Hence it was almost safer to use mechs or even wheeled vehicles since they could stop in their tracks and the worms would eventually loose interest, or try to get to the nearest rock outcropping to wait it out since the worms couldn't burrow through that. Or even traveling on foot, fremen had a system in place much like Tusken Dune Raiders. March in single file and in step to limit the vibrations emitted from walking in the desert.

@@Grounders10 Not to my knowledge, there are sarlac pits but they are stationary. They mainly marched in single file and in step to better hide their numbers, so that any would be retaliation might find themselves either facing a small group to a massive raiding party if they were to try to track them down. This also made it easier for people to lose their tracks if winds blew over and covered them. In mass or even walking in pairs there was a higher probability to find some hint, single file had the potential to be covered over with wind and storms. So any natural way of tracking would be null and void and would require some kind of tech to look for any signs of said tracks. That would mean tracking pheromones, possibly biological signals like blood, or some kind of radiation of some sort. Thermals would be next to useless unless it was the middle of the night with the suns down since the sand would be hot enough to mask any thermal readings of a foot print. If you saw the Mandalorain series there is a perfect example of this shown in an episode. I won't go into details as to not spoil it, but suffice to say the reasoning is justifiable.

A old sci-fi franchise that never got the film treatment, *Issac Asimov's Foundation* series, contains some seriously powerful personal shields [HBO may be working on a adaption]. In fact it may be the sci fi origins of the personal force shield. It's an atomic shield that's worn as a belt and surrounds the wearer with a faint glow that is hard to notice at first. It can however stop a atomic blaster at point blank range. And to give you the idea of the power of a atomic blaster, it can disintegrate the upper half of a human and create a hole in the wall behind it in one shot - which the atomic shield wearing character did after the Empire official shot him on Trantor - a planet that makes Corescant look rural.

Of the 4 mentioned in this video I personally prefer the kinetic barriers. The Mjolnir shields do beat out kinetic barriers in terms of raw defensive strength, I'm not denying that. But I would prefer kinetic barriers because of one thing. They are more user friendly. In the books when the Master Chief first uses them in a combat sim he complains that the shields on the bottom of his boots make it feel like he's trying to walk on ice and the shields on his hands feel like when he's trying to hold something it's covered in oil, it's slippery and difficult to handle. His solution is to weaken the shield power in those areas. It works but makes those spots vulnerable. Kinetic barriers don't suffer from that drawback. They work by detecting incoming threats via a virtual intelligence and intercepting them with a mass effect field. Better still they are adaptable. In ME2 you can get what's called a "Shield Harness" that increases shield strength by 10%. It's basically just a belt with a built in kinetic barrier generator. Mjolinr systems are still somewhat new in the Halo universe where as if you read the lore kinetic barriers have been around for a long time. any tech that's new will always have kinks and bugs to iron out. Plus defensive tech is always designed based on what threats it's facing. Take IRL Kevlar vest and ballistic plates for example. Good against bullets and shrapnel, bad against swords and large blades. my point is Kinetic barriers are more widely usable then Mjolinr, not has hazardous and personal deflector shields, and not as quarky as the shields from Dune. But that's just my opinion.

The way mass effect kinetic barriers worked was a soldier's hardsuit was covered in small immiters. If these immiters detected an object heading towards them above a cirtain velocity, they would then activate a series of rotating energy fields(called mass effect fields) which would collide with the object, stopping it in in its tracks or deflecting it Like mentioned in the video kinetic barriers only block projectiles not toxins, radiation or extreams of temperature. They relied on armor for that. Projectiles are not completely useless against barriers however. Too many hard, fast shots at once could overwhelm the suits power core, causing the shields to temporarily shut down The actual armor its self consisted of 3 layers. The first was a cellular type of material, the second consisted of multiple sheets of ablative ceramic in places that didn't require maneuverability. Due to high mass compaction, this armor was a hell of a lot harder than steel but also much lighter. These sheets were also designed boil away when heated, this meant that if the armor was hit by an energy based weapon, instead of absorbing the impact, it dispersed the heat over a larger area and ultimately reduce the damage. The third was the kinetic-barrier

In the new canon, the Chiss didn’t have shields of any kind until Thrawn managed to obtain a Republic shield generator from a planet at the edge of the Unknown Regions. All Unknown Regions races instead used the far weaker electrostatic barriers. But, presumably, as soon as the Chiss started using shields, the other powers soon either found their own Republic samples or built their own using the scans of Chiss ships

The best energy shields in science fiction are Alteran shields in the Stargate series. Regular old shields conk out when they've absorbed enough damage to overwhelm them, and this includes Goa'uld and Asgard shields. Alteran shields stay up so long as they're fed power. Even better, Alteran ship shields (excluding cityship shields, as those did double duty in retaining a breathable atmosphere) are conformal shields as opposed to bubble shields, so they don't suffer from the problem of blocking shots that would otherwise have missed if the shield hadn't gotten in the way. Alteran personal shields have all the advantages of their upsized counterparts, but they also do full inertial cancellation. You could fall off the top of a skyscraper and land on your head and the shield would tank the entire impact with no harm coming to you (beyond the probable heart attack from panicking over falling from such a height). Also Mass Effect shouldn't be on the list because its energy shields aren't energy shields, they're kinetic barriers. That's not just a difference of wording, Mass Effect's kinetic barriers can't stop energy at all, because it's right there in the name, they're kinetic barriers, they only stop kinetic impacts, and the faster those kinetic impacts, the less capable the barriers get. It's why Reaper beam weapons, despite not being true energy weapons (but relativistic kinetic weapons), cut through kinetic barriers like they weren't even there.

Chapter master Astartes and Primarchs has Void Shielding. They literally created a bubble of matter dispersion around them, that would 'misplace' projectiles and make them bend around the user

So do Titans and some Knights. Anything big enough to house the generators for it, they get it.
@eruantien99324 жыл бұрын
It's not a void shield for Astartes and their Primarchs, but rather a type of conversion field (typically housed in an iron halo by the time you get to 40k's timeframe). Even the smallest void shield generators are too big to be practically carried in battle, even for a Primarch.
