"Using a methodology that appears to be common
to a number of pre-collapse artifacts, this system
recaptures power that is lost during the recharge
of zero-point energy barriers to improve shield
recharge rate by 3%. This power normally would
be lost as noise, but this device transfers the noise
to the resonate frequency of the shield system."
"In rought terms, this device appears to be a
variable transformer that dynamically adjusts the
voltage of the electrical power delivered to a
shield system, resulting in a 5% improvement of
recharge rate."
"This device, while relatively simple to
understand, appears to be very difficult to
manufacture. It is in essence a secondary shield
generator that reinforces the primary system,
resulting in an 8% improvement in the rate the
field is restored to full."
"This is the least effective of a very useful class of
artifacts that are power distribution 'conditioners'.
This particular unit results in a 2% improvement
in all of the following: effective power plant
output, engine thrust, shield and capacitor
recharge rates. This is achieved by adjusting the
potential of electrical power as it is delivered to
each subsystem."
