The components of a Federation photon torpedo were contained within an elongated elliptical casing, also known as a photon tube. The weapon was armed with a photon warhead. The warhead had a detonation chamber filled with antimatter. Upon detonation the torpedo created a matter-antimatter explosion and a flood of ion radiation.

In 2367, the range of Federation photon torpedoes was slightly below 300,000 kilometers. When launched, Federation photon torpedoes expelled plasma exhaust into the torpedo tube. Federation photon torpedoes had a subspace detonator. It could be activated remotely to abort a torpedo that had been launched. The detonator destroyed the torpedo before impact.

In 2368, Federation photon torpedo warhead yields had at least 16 preset levels. An explosion powerful enough to disrupt a soliton wave could be created with five torpedoes set to level 16. According to the Kyrian curator Quarren, a photon torpedo with a 25 isoton yield could destroy an entire city within seconds.

Given that much of the other information about Voyager was wrong in "Living Witness" and this piece of information was stated about a torpedo that had been inactive for centuries, the accuracy of the statement is questionable.
When fired by a Galaxy-class starship without shields at a target in close range, a single photon detonation had a high probability of destroying the firing ship as well. In 2365, the unshielded USS Lantree was destroyed with a single photon torpedo hit. The USS Enterprise-D stayed at a distance of forty kilometers.

Photon torpedoes have been seen destroying starships with single hits also in DS9: "The Way of the Warrior".

In 2367, if a photon torpedo was fired by a Galaxy-class starship with shields, at a target in close range, the torpedo explosion could cripple the firing ship. When shield strength was increased three hundred percent, the ship remained undamaged when a full spread of maximum yield torpedoes was detonated at close range.

Torpedoes used by the Federation in 2365 could burrow through the surface of a planet intact. By 2367, the shields of a torpedo could protect it for several seconds, during which the torpedo entered a sun and burrowed into its stellar core. The torpedo flight engine used reactants carried on board for power. Klingon and Federation photon torpedoes had a frequency, related to that of its target's deflector shield frequency modulation, measured in megahertz. When both were matched torpedoes could penetrate the shields of the target starship.

It is not clear if the frequency of the torpedo was actually the shield frequency modulation of the torpedo. A line by Geordi La Forge in the script of "Half a Life" confirmed torpedoes used a sustainer engine for propulsion. This dialogue was however cut short from the aired episode.

Antimatter charges were a type of low-yield weapon system that could be upgraded into photon torpedoes. In 2365, Geordi La Forge increased the size of the charges on the Pakled ship Mondor and turned the Pakled weapons into photon torpedoes.

With thoron fields and duranium shadows false sensor readings of photon torpedoes could be created to fool enemy ships.

In 2370, Quark arranged the sale of two hundred Pygorian photon torpedoes, among other items, to the Maquis through their gun runner Sakonna.
 



Renewable Resources and the Importance of Generation Diversity
by "Planning Engineer"



How feasible are calls for 100% renewable energy?


In previous columns I’ve discussed characteristics of wind and solar generation that will result in increasing concerns as they grow to provide an increase portion of the electric supply. PJM has recently made available a study which discusses these issues and furthermore PJM has done significant modelling to quantify these concerns. This analysis should put to rest any mistaken beliefs that current renewable resources perform just as well as conventional resources as regards grid support. The available reports do not provide full access to the findings and data, but I will attempt to highlight key findings. I strongly recommend that interested denizens read the reports for themselves. I welcome comments, observations and interpretations that I may have missed...

The photon torpedo was created because the writers realized that phaser bolts only traveled at light speed, and the ships were faster than that. Photon torpedoes can travel at warp speeds.
 
A crew of only three, and pennies per shot? That's really bad news for the military industrial complex.
 
And it cooks a hot dog. Now the engineers won't be the only ones with a snack on the midwatch!
 
I hope he took some porn with him to pass the time when his buddies were messing about down on the moon.
 
Mrtenant, the Mini Me scene was in the link-
