Repulsor mechanics

Just out of curiosity, what's the difference between Short, Medium and Long beams? (Other than the length of course.)

My first guess is power consumption, but I can't seem to notice any difference. My second guess is that the longer the beam, the weaker it gets, but that doesn't seem to be correct either.

Any ideas?

As mthw2vc said: Longer beams use more power. The strength of the beam does not change.

yeah, that 1.5 energy cost for long as opposed to 0.5 for short is a real killer :P

Compare your times to those of mthw2vc and fisherck and you will see that you spoke truthfully.
