Deflector shields, exploding consoles, malfunctioning transporters, malfunctioning holodecks. I mean, the Enterprise-D's holoddecks malfunctioned so much that O'Brien made a joke about it to welcome Worf to DS9!
@arcturion didn't you know? The use of seatbelts is clearly forbidden under the rules laid out by the SCE (Starfleet Corps of Engineers) starship design manual.
The turbolift doesn’t get enough attention. It can't be just an elevator. It must travel more like a subway and horizontally, vertically, down diagonally from the saucer section to the center section. That's a complicated system of shafts.
Yup there is even some people that live on them. I believe during DS9 they mentioned someone that was always moving around and the ship name. Then in later a later episode on a console of ships docked at DS9 the name was there with a Runabout NCC number, a little easteregg that was never meant to be seen however we have HD now.
The deflector dishes are designed to direct particles into the Bussard collectors. Only particles that they can't do that to (say, in the wrong position relative to the collectors) get directed around the ship. This is explained in the Technical Manuals. You guys, of all people, should know this.
One thing that isn't often discussed is that impulse power is supposed to be fast enough that you can reach near-lightspeed, subjecting the crew to relativistic effects. It's one of the reasons starships often have to resynchronize their clocks with the nearest starbase.
Saucer separation is also what every Starfleet ship has. Even the ones that don't actually show it happening onscreen. Except for the Defiant. That has a warhead.
Defiant, Saber, Akira, Steamrunner, Oberth, Centaur, Intrepid, Nebula, Nova, Miranda, Prometheus -classes have no saucer separation. I think saying "every" ship is not fitting. Too many exceptions.
If Phaser beams travelled at the speed of light, we would not see them travelling from emitter to target, there would instead be a beam of light seeming to connect the shooter and the shootee. Based on observed behaviour of the beam, I put it to you that Phasers are a coherent particle beam travelling very quickly, but not at light speed. That doesn't mean they don't pack a punch. Cannonballs travelled subsonic, but their mass and speed meant they could be devastating at the point of impact. However, they travelled slowly enough to be seen and often avoided by infantry and cavalry on the battlefield.
Well, according to Kirk, on two occasions, every starfleet ship had some Corbomite (ether as hull material or omega-level dangerous self-destruct device.)
If Star Trek were real, I’d have a personal ship, likely the size of a runabout. The fact runabouts are said to have a max warp of warp 5, but we see them going warp 9+ tells me it’s more the latter than the former. Either way though, a runabout is awesome, the ship can even take on a jem hadar fighter
Transporters are a brilliant innovation when it comes to cost saving... the production budget hahaha. Didn't have to commission some VFX for a shuttle ride down to every planet every week.
I appreciate you are making videos on other Star Trek subjects aside from the newer episodes. Your videos are fascinating and extremely well done and entertaining as well as informative. Keep them up ! Maybe make a video on holodeck and how they work.
IIRC there is a Barkley episode that shows that a person is conscious during a transport. IMHO one way to tell if teleportation kills you is if it could create a copy of you and leave the original which Star Trek transporters can't. You might point to Thomas Riker but that was explained away. Another way to look at it is the because it works approach. By the time of Next Generation humans were using transporters for centuries. By that time they probably figured it out otherwise much more people would refuse to use them.
Funny how bathrooms don't exist anywhere in the Star Trek universe. (well, maybe a programmer's bathroom was mentioned once). Hate to be stuck in an escape pod for 5 months with no bathroom. Messy!!!🤣
I think the transporters, and their operation, are a fascinating topic for discussion. I appreciate knowing I'm not the only one who equates the use of them with death. Another area (topic) I'd like to explore, are the Weapons of Star Trek. Namely disruptors, disintergrators, phasers, torpedos, cannons, and lasers. Two other interesting topics might be replicators, and holodecks. As always, thank you all so very much for the videos.
If transporters were ever invented, I would never use one. They would revolutionize logistics, delivery, and travel (at least as far as your suitcase is concerned). But they should never be used on a living creature.
The bit about Voyagers shuttles is hokem. The ship had facilities across two decks for at least 15-20 shuttles and the capability to manufacture more. Need a new shuttle? Find a mineral rich astroid and bob's your uncle. The highly detailed deck plans done by the now defunct Strategic Designs (Quantum Reality Inc.) show that there's enough room for it, as their plans were based off of the show's Design 'bible' and production set blueprints.
@@StevenLockey And which parts are those? As I'm pretty sure the only non replicatable parts would be dilithium, and for others, I'm sure that an engineer as resourceful as Torres would find suitable work-arounds.
The bigger thing to note with impulse drives, is that Starfleet tends to cap theirs at around 25PSL. This is due to relativistic effects that occur, that Warp Drive bypasses. So they'll never get faster, but they can offer instead quicker acceleration.
The TNG episode "Ream of Fear" shows there is continuous consciousness throughout the transport process. So the "you" that is dematerialized is, experientially, the same "you" that rematerializes. I'm often surprised at how few Star Trek fans seem to have missed this or forgot it. "Realm of Fear" guys.
Which came first, Lawrence M. Krauss' Physics of Star Trek, or Star Trek canonizing warp working this way (compressing/expanding space at the front/back of the ship respectively)?
My personal headcanon about the Voyager shuttle situation is that they had an engineering team just periodically construct one or two when they happened upon a surplus of resources. Certainly they're easier to make than, say...photon torpedoes 🤔
The dish in TOS and TMP is not the deflector, the deflectors for those ships are the notches to the left the right and below on the secondary hull around the dish which is there for the communication array. Those were integrated together in the Excelsior, it's part of why the borg in first contact were hacking things on top of the dish in first contact because that's the ship's communication system.
No, the TOS dish was a sensor and deflector combo: "Stephen E. Whitfield and Gene Roddenberry's The Making of Star Trek (p. 191) stated of the vessel's prominent dish: "The starship's main sensor-deflector (a parabolic sensor and asteroid-deflector) is located at the front end of the secondary hull."
The inventor of the Transporter said on Enterprise, “It’s not a damn copy!” Anti-matter may not be needed… but instead Negative Energy…. Which we can barely make at this moment and certainly not enough of it to fold space or pop open a wormhold.
Subspace communications, video communications, internal communications, defensive shields, navigational shields, computer systems, damage control force fields (seriously, where are the emitters for those things sometimes?), fire suppression systems, Jeffries Tubes (an interesting maintenance innovation that could possibly be valuable in ships today, though they might be a tough sell), crew accommodations, turbolifts, cargo bays (I actually think this could be a whole video on its own), inertial dampers, life support, lighting and power, and artificial gravity. Also, things that you might consider "rooms" or "spaces" in the ship could also be considered systems if they are sufficiently complex. For example, the bridge and medical systems, and arguably engineering are their own systems. One that gets overlooked a lot because it's not fit for TV: hygiene and sewage systems. I could go on. HMU for consultations.
When the design decision was made, people assumed that ship engines would produce quite a lot of radiation. That is why in many sci-fi movies (both old and new) that aim for realism the engines are far away from the living quarters. The incluion of a saucer section clearly seperated from the engine was kind of a compromise between realism and aesthetics.
CERN is far from the only accelerator that creates antimatter, they're just the only place generating enough to do regular experiments with it....also it kinda makes sense why the nacelles are usually set off to the sides, the deflector dish clears a path for the primary hull, and the nacelles kinda stick outside of that path. Plus any time I've seen the bussard collectors used they were always travelling at sub-light speeds, and I imagine the deflector is probably also set to low power or off completely when they're using them.....
День тому+1
Did you specifically look for a currency in which antimatter costs *47* trillion, or was that just a happy coincidence?
I'd love a video that covers the different types of Star Trek Weapons. Like Phasers and torpedoes. Plasma and tetryon... need to know what the differences are.
The deflector dish's fields can be manipulated in a way that keeps particles away from the ship, but creates small window's through the fields to allow the bussard collectors to function.
It would be nice to have a series of the different components of a ship (i.e. warp engine, transporters, etc) and do a deep dive on their "workings" ala the ST TNG Technical Manual...
You got some stuff wrong. In Federation ships, the Warp Core is the matter-antimatter reactor that generates the power for the warp engines. The energy produced by the reactor is fed into the dilithium crystals and from there into the warp coils in the nacelles to generate the warp field. Some races use other energy sources --e.g. Romulans use a quantum singularity.
Fun fact the Enterprise D at a top impulse speed of 0.25c or 25% light speed under normal operation. For short burst it can push upwards of 0.5c. While this seems fast Voyager could push up to 0.9c for something like 20mins with all power diverted to the Subspace bubble and Impulse. This is also why ships in the Star Trek universe would beat most other sci-fi ships in sublight speed encounters. They don't have to deal or account for time dilation while ships from say Stargate, Star Wars, and Babylon 5 do.
A crazy fact: every Starfleet ship carried photon torpedoes, making them a threat no matter the size of the ship. This was based on the real life torpedoes that would allow glorified speed boats to be a threat to even the largest battleships.
I always wondered if the inertial dampers would actually be necessary. They say it's to prevent you from slamming into the walls when the ship goes to warp. But, like you stated, from the ships reference frame it isn't actually moving. So would you even feel an inertial force inside a warp bubble?
It's never stated in the show but I've always imagined phasers as close range guns and torpedos as long range guided rockets. As in modern fighter jets.
I've always loved the inclusion of bussard collectors (named after the scientist) as it gives a good real world physics element to our trek. However I always thought they were rather pointless on shuttle craft, and the designers always missed a trick with ships having more than two nacelles because why would you ever need 3 or 4 bussards when 2 will always do and you could have replaced them with navigational deflectors to avoid the awkward dish placements
Transporters. My Theory. the Soul, which is an immortal energy, capable of travelling faster than light, prefers being contained inside a body. Then when transporting, once there is more of the body there, than where it started, the soul will switch to the more complete body. While a Transporter Clone is clearly a different entity, and thus in my opinion, is granted a new soul at that time. So Will might be the clone, rather than Thomas.
You forgot shoddy electrical wiring, without a single G.D. circuit breaker to prevent a shower of sparks, fire, (and rocks for some reason) from from exploding out of consoles and equipment when they inevitably overload or are damaged by weapons fire.
It was noted somewhere that replicators cannot replicate energy. Hence if you ask a replicator for a phaser, the power cell on the phaser would be at zero. So with that in mind, how can a phaser be transported?
I don't think a phaser beam travels at the speed of light. It is a particle beam weapon. There were a couple episodes where the phaser was cought mid stream - one where some crew were moving faster than everyone else and another where they were treansported while firing. The speed light is way too fast even for people that were speeded up.
If engineers figured out a way for incoming energy beams to converted into shield power than battles would be pointless and there would be far more negotiations.
I forget which series or book had that. The enemy eventually found out that they could overload the conversion system by putting too much energy into it too quickly.
@@Tim.Stotelmeyer I'm sure that such an obvious loophole has been addressed already. It doesn't surprise me in the least lol Being that heat dissipation is pretty much negated in space aside from the venting plasma plot device it makes sense that such a system could be overloaded easily.
Tractor Beams? Tell that to the Enterprise-B before Tuesday.
