The fusion reactors drive the impulse engines. I will get a pic of that on my cutaway poster when I get home.

Thanks for the picture, that is indeed the best explanation for the tubes.

After TWOK it gets mentioned sooner or later in every series.

Your welcome! And there's plenty of room for a brewery in all that empty space too.

Well........ I tried to get the whole image but I had to get too far away. So I broke it up into several close shots. Sorry about the quality, it was hard to keep the flash from reflecting right back into the camera.





The green dot is on what they call the "Fusion Reactors"

Jim. Is this poster still available anywhere?

I actually bought it from QVC about 15 years ago. I don't know if it's still out there somewhere.
