If you had a Star Trek replicator, what would you create?

[Blobbenstein]

If the replicator only had enough power to create one thing about a foot square[edit-I meant 'cubed'](at the largest), what would you get it to make?

 

[Clueless Git]

Only enough power to make one single thing?

I'd replicate a fresh battery for my replicator, I think.

 

[Blobbenstein]

I don't think that battery would have enough power to make anything more than you could have made in the first place.

 

[Amy SF]

Some chocolate, so I wouldn't run out.

 

[beancounter]

That's a great question! You're restrictions make it tough.

I guess I'll say an xbox for my son.

All three XBOX systems are practically the size of planets. There's a good chance that trying to create one in that small of a space would get you something horribly broken. But I suppose it's the same chance if you go to the store and get one.

What's the point of a replicator if you could only get one thing out of it one time?

I'd just replicate a pile of diamonds, I guess. Or whatever sells for the most at the time. Unless it could replicate me a tricorder, cause that'd be badass!

As for the replicator itself... two questions.

1.) How tall can an object that fits into the one square foot of space be?
2.) Can people be replicated?

 

[kazyeeqen]

Tiny people! Cute!

well this is a replicator that was taken from a crashed alien ship......not much power left.

Oh, I meant 1 foot cubed.

 

[FortyTwo]

Oh, I meant 1 foot cubed.

Hmm... are there any hot contortionists?

 

[kazyeeqen]

All of them.

 

[~Wonder]

One cubic foot of solid antimatter. Preferably nitrogen.

 

[ledboots]

A cube of gold.

Unless you're in a vacuum, congratulations! You have nothing.

 

[Joe]

A cube of gold.

Yes, or platinum.

 

[beancounter]

Yes, or platinum.

And then sell it on Ebay as a unique items for many, many multiples of it's intrinsic value.

 

[yakherder]

A peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Oh ...

Can I replicate one of my kidneys in case I ever need a transplant?
