Anticoncussion field

"Sonny, energizing an anticoncussion field is not like hot-wiring somebody's skyhopper and going for a joy-ride!"

―Klaus "Doc" Vandangante

An anticoncussion field was a highly advanced type of force field used at the Stars' End prison facility.

Characteristics

Anticoncussion fields were generated by projectors such as the Rampart-class anticoncussion generator. The projectors honeycombed the interior of the building it was designed to protect. When activated, the field dramatically improved the integrity of floors, walls, ceilings and other internal surfaces. The projector's umbrella-shaped magnetic fields created a single cohesive anticoncussion field that absorbed and dispersed kinetic energy. The field was powerful enough to render blasts, collisions, and other impacts inert.
