2014年8月5日 · "SET PHASERS TO STUN" It was established early on in Star Trek: The Original Series that the phasers used by the > crew of USS Enterprise had a “stun” setting (as mentioned in “The Man Trap” episode), and both Kirk and Spock often found themselves instructing their crewmates to use the non-lethal capabilities of their standard-issue ...

2022年12月20日 · Note that the device is a "phaser array," not simply a phaser like the hand-held weapons used by away teams. A phased array is an arrangement of emitters that is capable of generating a steerable beam over a broad range of angles.

2020年10月27日 · In many Star Trek, we have heard references to weapons ranges. For example, a Nebula class starship has a weapons range of roughly 300,000 kilometers. We can reliably predict that a projectile weapon (like a photon torpedo) could possibly almost continue on forever, unless, miraculously (or unfortunately), it hits an object in space.

2015年5月14日 · There are 16 settings on a phaser, according to the Star Trek Next Generation Technical Manual. Settings 1-3 are light to heavy stun, 5-6 are burn, 7 is kill instantly, and 8 is vaporizing organic matter, which is normally called maximum. 9-12 are for vaporizing things like rock, or metal. 13-16 are self destruct settings, and have the power of ...

2012年3月4日 · If Star Trek phasers worked like Known Space Slaver disintegrators, i.e. depressing the electrical charge of the electron, you'd get plasma without the high temperatures that would produce gases, thus you'd end up with lots and lots of dust. But that's not what we see as a result of phaser fire, either.

2015年6月3日 · As a result of the basic physics required to produce a phaser discharge, an undesirable but unavoidable process exists, namely that of phaser overload. The accepted methods employed for energy storage, flow, control, and discharge allow for an amplified rebounding to occur from the storage cell to the prefire chamber, and simultaneously back to ...

2015年9月4日 · To be even more accurate, put something similar to a Star Trek phaser -- like a TV remote -- in your hand and tape the laser pointer to it. See how steadily you can maintain your point of aim as you press buttons on it. This will tell you a lot about how practical the grip in the shows is. My two cents

2011年6月23日 · What is the Star Trek "physics" difference between phaser and disruptor technologies? It seems that only Star Fleet possessed 'phased energy' technology while all aggressive aliens in the Star Trek universe possessed disruptor technology.

2023年4月11日 · The Titan-A has both phaser arrays and phaser banks. No other Federation ship of the era, as far as we know, has both types of weapons. The out-of-universe reason is obvious: they wanted to include design elements from the original Enterprise(s) in the Titan-A design. However, is there an in-universe reason that both types of weapons are utilized?

2019年7月6日 · It seems that, at least for the phasers used in the Star Trek VI period, the disintegration effects halts when it reaches a boundary between the object that was struck and a mass of dissimilar material. This is almost certainly not consistent with every instance of the phaser disintegration seen in the shows and movies.
