[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Paramount doesn't have a vertical Jeffries Tube set four decks high, so there are bound to be cuts in that scene. And if there are cuts, then there can also be horizontal sections we missed because of the cuts... [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] The Tech Manual shows injectors on every coil, but IIRC, they are not between the coils - they are UNDERNEATH them! Or then inside the coil ring. They only become visible because parts of the coils are cut out in the picture. Perhaps in drive mode these eighteen individual injectors fire from "below", "into" the coils, energizing them from "outside", and the one injector we see in the episode when the engine is on idle is just a sort of a "negative pole" that generates the nonpulsating inside plasma stream. The individual injectors take care of the pulsating effect that creates a proper propulsive field. I can't understand what Mike and Rick were thinking when drawing the injectors "below" the nacelles - except if they are intended to fire "into" the nacelles. Or am I remembering the drawing incorrectly? Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
