AstroK32

Thank you very much! That clarifies a lot. So do you think Geordi was talking about the efficiency of the magnetohydrodynamic generator?

That is one thing I was wondering about. How exactly do they generate electricity from the warp core? Also, my apologies for the late response, I was at a funeral.

So I was wondering how you would make a cross sectional area graph in excel of a craft from Kerbal Space Program. A reference part would be a start I think and then get the height and width. Then the issue is finding the area of an unusual shape like the mk2 fuselage and the wings.

I had assumed in the episode that I had watched that the 96% efficiency meant 96% power conversion from the energy the warp core initially generated. I could be wrong, however.

So I had an idea, let’s say Voyager’s warp core could run at 96% efficiency like in TNG, we could convert then that 4000 teradynes -> 40 giganewtons -> 38.4 gigawatts. Which would then power the ship’s systems and, if it works how I think it does, make a warp field. While also shooting warp plasma through the warp coils that make a warp bubble? I just thought that it was an interesting idea.
