Easy bake. Forgot that used a light bulb as a heating element.
So, you want a tiny field, with a convection system. Just to heat the interior of the field and try to raise the pressure (by raising the temperature). Ideally, you can raise the pressure. However, again, it depends on the strength of the field. I'm guessing that most force fields would be really strong. In Star Trek, they tended to block phaser blasts. They also prevented people from pushing through them entirely.
Given a Star Trek style force field, it's fairly easy to surmise that a convection system will not increase the pressure enough to alter the size of the bubble noticeably. However, enough heat will eventually destroy the field. The energy discharge of a phaser will eventually deplete the field, thus it must not be immune to heat buildup, or pressure.
It seems to me that it is possible that pressure and/or heat are what breaks the field down - at least in Star Trek. However, it takes a lot of heat and pressure to do it.
Of course, all of this is varied per universe. |
