Thanks for that. Anybody know an answer to my aspherical lens question? [Edit] Here's the results of a test I did with my lens that I made just eyeballing the curve...

Not that I know of. Magnetic field loops need to have a path from the south to the north pole, although if the field loops were mind-numbingly huge it might seem to act like you want...

How is it done? I've done a little research on Wikipedia and found the lensmaker's equation, but one of the values needed to compute focal length is the radius of the lens curvature. Strictly speaking, an aspherical curvature wouldn't have a set radius, would it? The reason I'm asking is because...

Yeah, that O'neil only had 1 'L'. No sense of humor. :D Kudos if you just got that.;)

I sincerely hope to God that this is a hoax...

I love Stargate, so much that I even made a 3D computer model of the gate.:D The reason I think they went to one set of symbols for the TV series is to avoid having to discover the local coordinates for Earth on EVERY single planet they go to.
