What powered Voyager's holodecks? They often talked about Voyager's hologrid as an "independent subsystem", but they never showed what generated the power, like an ore processor or whatever. And those episodes where main power is offline but the holoprojectors are still operational or vice versa show the power systems to be incompatible, as otherwise they could share and ration energy by using transformers to convert the differing voltages and the system wouldn't be, as stated, offline.

it takes a lot less power to run the holo emitters than to run a whole ship.
And its like the electricity is off but the gas is still on. Or more so the reverse.

That or tacheons.

There wasn't glasses neither in the windows. Energy field shit. But if power offline...

Also on its own system. The engineers have planned for almost anything. How dare you criticise a starfleet built ship. Many of the best minds at starfleet command spend years designing each ship.

but during the stone age ...

warp coil plasma my Vulcan friend !

hey neelix why don't you take a seat over there

space magic like the rest of the shit in the star trek universe.

most of what's seen in a holodeck isn't holograms though, its replicated which is how they can eat/drink, get wet/dirty etc. And it takes a huge amount of power to turn energy into matter.

an interesting question then becomes, does the amount of energy needed to replicate items take up significantly enough less mass than merely keeping stocks of food, water, building materials etc so as to not weigh down the ship when maneuvering under impulse power.

its space magic, you can change the form of mass but you're not going to shift the amount. Liquid to solid, solid to gas etc. You would start and stop with same amount unless you're constantly using it.

Thermodynamics are a constant.

unless they've been able to completely remove the problem of energy loss via turning into heat during conversion (and perhaps they have) and as you suggest back again then it would dwindle their reserves. They also have the bussard collectors but I doubt they get enough stray hydrogen to replenish the energy reserves

remember the time Neelix fucked a Klingon woman in Tuvoc's room, and he walks in on them, and Neelix is all like trying to prop up the trashed potted plants and table awkwardly?
Shit's hilarious.

Holodecks are a Ferengi plot to kill off the Federation race through degeneracy. The independent power system is to increase the chances of them dying due to a """malfunction""" as you have to disable that too to escape.

tfw no klingon gf

I thought they converted other matter and re-arrange it

There's a 100% chance of half talascean/klingon running around the Delta Quadrant.

Same with Kirk's half native american love child. Bones just lied to him so he would get back to ship.

How long do you think their relationship lasted? I say seven months and then she got a promotion and he fucked off to Cardassia to help with post-war reconstruction.

It lasted until he called out miles in bed

>Miles

Until Ezri got "confused" and fucked Captain Boday

Unfortunately he told Garak, and Garak told the Trill Symbiosis Commission, Dax was then banished from Trill society and died in Rura Penthe 3 years later. She always claimed it was actually Garak who killed Boday, but the evidence was airtight.

Garak and Bashir were later married in a Civil Ceremony on Risa.

I want to believe

Books aren't canon.

holodeck is just lights and force fields.

The forcefield only activate when you touch something including water. Though is does replicate food.

The power use is very small. Like literally its just lights, conveyor belts and a weak ass force field every now and again.
