The bead would work by producing two magnetic fields: one to protect itself(A) and one to contain the plasma(B); (B) would also be required to "push away" ambient atmosphere to reduce drag annd heat loss. MEG is merely shorthand for Magnetic Envelope Generator, the mechanism that would generate the magnetic containment fields I mentioned above. The bead would disintegrate on collision with an object or after a set period of time by collapsing the magnetic fields and, essentially, vaporizing itself. I would say that the weapon is in need of some form of depletable resource (the guiding bead) because it is doubtful that a Forerunner weapon, or a weapon based on one, would ever run out of energy unless it was specifically designed to do so. This last is more inferred than backed by concrete data as no handheld Forerunner weapons have been detailed yet. I hope this clears up your questions; and remember dear friend: it's only a theory.--[[User talk:Bruce2401|Bruce2401]] 04:47, 18 April 2011 (EDT) | The bead would work by producing two magnetic fields: one to protect itself(A) and one to contain the plasma(B); (B) would also be required to "push away" ambient atmosphere to reduce drag annd heat loss.

You've explained what it does, but not how it does it. You do realise that energy is a depletable resource? [[User talk:Plasmic Physics|Plasmic Physics]] 04:54, 18 April 2011 (EDT) | |||
