This is one of my old shield designs, thus it may be useful to people looking for new types of shields.
To begin with, you are going to need a VERY large amount of energy for this to work. If you cannot make an orb of energy in under a second, I doubt that this shield will work very well at all for you.
The way this works is that you are going to create a "safe" area around yourself using a heat-resistant shield. About six feet away from that will be the outer containment shield. Once you have both of those, you begin moving energy in between them until it becomes too dense to add more.
Once you reach that state, you will have to cause the energy to enter a near-plasma state, then add even more energy. As you do this, continue to raise the temperature of the energy within.
If you can maintain the integrity of the inner containment sphere, you will be fine when attacked, but any attack that breaks the outer containment sphere will be vaporized by a plume of super-heated energy spewing out where it hit.
Since most people tend to attack you directly, this will typically also spew the same energy on them, with can be quite painful.
However, using this shield has a drawback - you need to be able to maintain both containment shields at all times, and repair the outer one every time it is breached, even if you are asleep. This means that you need to have a very powerful form of auto-repair built into the shield. Additionally, the energy inside the two containment spheres needs to be constantly heated and have even more energy added into it.
