Technological focus: Magnetic replusor skin system (long)

(OOC I was bored and decided to finally post this)

A woman in a black slik blouse with a grey skirt and overcoat, her brown hair tied up in a pony tail walks, up to stage holding her notes and her speech, she steps up to the podium taking a deep breath staring at the crowd of students at the Centuri Station's university.

"the MRSS to many is considered the mother of "modern day" shielding technology, working on the basic princible of magnetism. the first MRSS was created by Ryan MrAurthor of the country Canada in the late 2053, 70 years before the colonization movement, actually the MRSS could eb considered one of the defining keys that allowed humans to travel out into deep space. the orginal MRSS was a very crude creation consisting of a nuclear reactor, a simple computer with the proper programming, and a spherical electron magnet made out of 27 different magnets in the followng or ++--++--++--++-- and so on and so forth,

when these electron magnets we powered they created a extremely strong magnetic attraction that would either repel or attacting metalic objects and the very atoms themselves, although as crude as it was in the early stages it proved extremely effective at slowly down or completely stopping some objects depending on vilocity and the magnetic attraction, for example if I was to throw a metal ball the size of an average baseball at the MRSS as hard as I could, the ball would eitehr be repelled or would float for several seconds or be drawn in faster depending on which charge I applied using a basic level system pushing teh level down would make the magnetic with teh negative charge would activate, while if the pushed the level up it would activate the positive magnets.

as the technology progressed onward the Magnetic Replusor Skin System did so as well, the output of the magnets increased allowing higher viocity objects to be repeled away from it, but that was still very far from having practical applications in space travel a new meathod had to be developed that didn't include hte entire hull being encompassed by electron magnets. 52 years after the initial discovery of the MRSS a scientist named Robert Drake developed a metal that acted very much like silicon chips that were used in that period, when power was applied depending on wheather it was under X voltage would be negative, if it was over X voltage it would be positive, and if no voltage was applied it would be neautral. soon after it was applied to almost everything imaginable, specifically military assets. and so the beginning of the great colonization age began.

But the great wheel of technolgical eveolution was still spinning as the weapons evolved the MRSS was not capable of keeping pace although we are still constantly improving on the orginal design there are limitation to a device such as this, as we can all see today it is evidant, the most it can do to modern day weapons is slow them down depending on the weapon the effects can be large or negilable ballistic weapons can be slowed down or have their courses altered enough to minimized damage to the hull while enery weapons such as lasers slow the the flow of electrons giving the crew more time to evacuate the surrounding area. Soon we will have to develop more adquet technolgy or we stand the chance of failing into the darkness as nothing more than a speck of dust, adn that mission we leave to students such as yourselfs, thank you for being here for this presentation and for our future I know you will make us proud in generations to come"

the doctor takes a step back from teh podium and leaves the stage as the crowd of students clap. after the clapping dies down the young female doctor leaves the hall.

Well done, I'm quite impressed! And an idea worth emulating....

thanks most of it I had already thought about or made up using general logic as I wrote it (:P)

Laser is photons.. magnetic equivalent to a galaxy gravitational attraction or black hole would be needed...
And the point of this post is...? what?.. ;)

not point really just what to do something out of the ordinary, and I never claimed that it would stop a laser.
