[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]I always assumed it was just forming in the micro-space between the gate and the iris, and the iris itself was immune to being obliterated by it.[/i] Nope, they've stated as much on the show. Kawoosh doesn't form at all, even though the wormhole does. Which begs the question... when Teal'c was trapped in the buffer, why not just activate a wormhole with the iris closed, and open it REAL fast? [i]After all, if they knew in the SGC how to turn of the "kawoosh", wouldn't they do it every time they open a wormhole there?[/i] Why bother? The kawoosh is apparently the doohickey flushing its pattern buffers, or some such. The SGC did once manage to activate it without such flushing, and without the resulting kawoosh, but it took some hacking with an actual DHD. The gate has control and signal mechanisms that the SGC's computers don't interface with, so while they know it can be done and probably could pull it off if they spent enough time, would it really have any useful purpose? [i]Is the DHD physically connected to the gate? [/i] Nope, the stargate can be operated by the thing when the gate's completely enclosed in a metal box. [/QB][/QUOTE]
