[QUOTE]Originally posted by Treknophyle: [QB] Axiom: Crusher stated that the ratio of reactants is always 1:1. I postulate that although the ratio of reactants remains the same as warp speed goes up (even though for every integer of warp factor we increase, we increase an integer of matter/antimatter consumption, there is another amount of deuterium injected into the core that is NOT a reactant - but is placed there specifically to provide the "plasma" as it is heated and ionized by the matter/antimatter reacion - and then carries the liberated energy to the warp coils. A given amount of gas will reach higher pressure if it is exposed to more energy. At warp factor 1, the amount of "non-reactant" deuterium far outmeasures that of "reactant" deuterium. As the warp factor/energy release increases, the amount of "non-reactant" deuterium injected decreases as the vessel's speed increases, until at warp 1 the amount of "non-reactant" deuterium is equal to the amount of "reactant" deuterium". In this scenario, everyone is happy. Crusher is correct, in that the REACTANTS are always at a 1:1 ratio. The Technical Manual is correct, in that the ratio of deuterium to antimatter injected decreases as warp speed increases. This is henceforth to be known as the "Schmidt Theory of Wishy-Washy Compromise Deuterium Intermix Formula". [/QB][/QUOTE]
