Some thoughts and theories on Ramiel:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shape:
Ramiel’s shape is an Octahedron.
Type: Platonic Solid
Number of Faces: 8
Number of Vertices: 6
Number of Edges: 12
If you ‘unfold’ an octahedron it can fit comfortably within parts of the Seporith Tree of Life.
{Here’s a link to a picture of an unfolded octahedron. See it?}
{If you mess around with the Tree of Life some more you get this.}
If you view Ramiel from a 45 degree angle it has an exact outline of a hexagon. The same shape as an AT field.

Particle Weapon:
The Inner Torus Reactor interested me, so I poked about.
The source of the angels particle weapon doesn’t appear to be from its S^2 engine (unless this engine is a Torus reactor for the other angels.) Torus reactors have already been made, they are also called Tokamak reactors.
{A link to an example of one of these reactors, which is also called JET.}
So basically to charge up its weapon, it rotates its magnetic/A.T field and compresses the space its reactor and somehow generates and then projects some plasma energy. Simple. The current reactors we have cant work continuously, because of the massive stress, so this angel is one tough fuck to cope with a continuous energy discharge like that. Or something like that :)
You could use the above paragraph to explain how Sachiel self-destructed, simply overburden this reactor and you’ll end up with a nasty nuclear explosion. Probably.
Although I could be completely wrong with all of this, I really simplified most of the above ; )

My Questions:
It is the first angel we see in the series that has no core visible. Why?
After it is destroyed we see NERV ‘dismantling’ the angel. The inside of it looks to have a dense framework or skeleton. How come we can see straight through it in the earlier episode?
The drill it uses to break through the Geo-Front is interesting, after the ‘lasers’ at the tip have stopped we can clearly see a mechanical structure underneath. With what looks like a metallic surface and screws… Any thoughts on whether or not this angel is some sort of machine?
Ramiel is one of the more interesting angels. Maybe if we figure out some stuff here it'll be germane to other aspects of Evangelion. 8)
Hey, whatnow? Where's this come from?
