STARSHIP ENERGY SYSTEMS. ------------------------ This text discusses an energy system specifically designed as the main power supply for starships. The system is intended to supply the main propulsion system of the ship. The main propulsion system is constructed so that the tube from the energyplane 2 source goes directly to a "crystal ball" where the propulsion force is generated. The injection amplifiers and other necessary equipment for the main propulsion system are driven by a HELENE oscillator.The oscillator is equipped with it's own energyplane 2 source and modulator. This source is independent of the source used in the main propulsion system. The propulsion system modulator consists of a tube approximately 2 meters in diameter and 6 meters long. The tube contains 1000 injection electrodes. If a crystal modulator is used, the crystal must also have 1000 electrodes. The main propulsion modulator can have approximately 1000 channels. Each channel must provide +/- 1000000 Volt PEP and have a frequency range from DC to 1 GHz. The power in each channel amplifier must be 1000 Watts minimum. If a crystal modulator is used, each channel must have +/- 1000 Volt with a frequency range from DC to 1 GHz. The minimum required power is 10 Watts per channel. Within the modulator a frequency picture is generated which is at the correct phase with respect to a target star. This frequency picture is used to generate the attractive force which draws the ship to the star (this is system B for interstellar travel). Forward Main page
