What powered Voyager's holodecks? They often talked about

fusion reactors

Probably an older Isolinear system that had a battery somewhere in one of the access panels in or near the holodeck. Environmental controls also were independent from the main power grid. The reason the holodeck or was independent from main power was because of the EMH.


also your ma'

>>85847990
doesn't the warpcore power the entire ship?

>>85849968
there are fusion reactors also as back up power for everything but warp drive.

For some reason the holodecks on Voyager had a separate power source that was incompatible with the rest of the ship. That's why it didn't matter that the used the holodeck.

>>85849968
no, otherwise everyone would suffocate to death 5 minutes after they do an emergency warp core jettison

It's just an excuse to let the crew frequently use the holodeck even if they have to ration and save power elsewhere on the ship. But that didn't matter in the later seasons anyway.

There was one episode where the Voyager gets hit by something and the lights go out but holoprogram (Captain Proton) just freezes and doesn't vanish.

Power transfer from the holodeck achieved

No, the Holodecks were rationed too.
Tom made a comment how he had to book his time in it "weeks" in advance.

Because there are 150 people and just 1 holodeck? In every case you'd have to wait for your turn. Let's say everyone gets one hour per day (realistically that would be 2 hours to do anything worthwhile) that means after 6 days everyone had one hour. For 2 hours that would be 12 days. Factor in maintenance downtime and special availability for training and mission critical simulations plus non-frictionless transition times for the user and you'll have to wait for weeks.

They were running the Fair Haven program 24/7 at some point.

no im pretty sure the cord would explode the moment it moved something from off the holodeck.

Why are they too stupid to know how to hook up the fusion reactors to any other system?

>>85849968

Warpcore powers warp engines. Everything else is powered by fusion reactors and pretty much everything essential has it's own battery or other backup. Things like gravity plating have super conducting power grid, so even if loses power it stays on 6 or 8 hours.

Pseudo-science, obviously.

When you have the most undemanding fan base in the universe, all you have to do is throw around some pop-science buzzwords like "neutrinos," and the audience will instantly buy it.
