 Sun Mar 16, 2003 5:03 pm phasers, and lasers |
|
i like to know as much about startrek as posible, but from everything that i know about startrek im not sure what a phaser or lasers fire is made out of, i sopose it could be a narrow band of photons but phasers seem ofaly small to have that many shots in one, if someone can confidentaly tell me what it realy is, it would answer a fuw questions for me.

Lasers = light beams
Phasers = energy beams

Phasers are modulated nadion beams.
The word stands for "Phased Energy Rectification", as opposed to "Light Energy Rectification".

A LASER IS MADE BY THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION IF TWO DIFFERENT GASSES.THEREFORE IT PRODUCES A TIGHTLY FOCUSED BEAM OF ENERGY.IM SUPRISED YOU DON'T KNOW THAT I DO AND IM ONLY ELEVEN YEARS OLD!

Sorry futile, but that isn't true. A laser is a tightly focused beam of light.

i find it hard to belive your only eleven, i belive that is the sixth grade, you use such words as combustion, internal, etc... they do not teach thoes words in sixth grade, besides the fact there all spelled correctly, ether you are the smartest sixth grader i'v ever met... or your not telling the truth. and theres no reason you should feel the need to insult me

I think it's just energy. condenced energy formed into a beam.

It seriously looks like you just took a bunch of words that sounded cool together and put it in a sentence that makes no sense. Just think about it...a laser pointer...since when was the last time you heard/felt little explosions inside a laser pointer.
Wow, I sound mean....sorry .

There are a few types of laser, some of which aren't technically lasers 
Laser pointers tend just to be directed light from a light bulb, whereas a laser cutter (often used in surgery) is more of an energy beam.

Okay, I'm gonna put the same as I did on the last topic that discussed this. a laser is simply a beam of light which passes through a focusing crystal. The crystal amplifies the intensity of the light a couple thousand times, turning it into a destructive beam. On the pilot episode of TOS they are using laser pistols instead of phasers. they switch over after a little while tho...
Phasers are more energy efficient, more lightweight, more powerfull, and can be made smaller. Plus lasers arelike bullets, there is no stun setting. you either hit and seriously hurt them or you miss.
