Talk:Magnetohydodynamic vernier-pulse

Removed the following nit per MA:NIT:

On the Nomad schematic displayed by the Enterprise's computer, the word "magnetohydrodynamic" is misspelled; the "r" is missing.--31dot 10:22, 28 June 2009 (UTC)


 * If the only source we have for this term is the schematic, and the schematic says "magnetohydodynamic", shouldn't the page be at Magnetohydodynamic vernier-pulse?– Cleanse 06:23, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup, which makes more sense as then it would be a made up term, as opposed to a term about underwater propulsion. --OuroborosCobra talk 07:13, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, it doesn't necessarily mean water - Hydrogen is a component in most space related vehicles, this should be no different. But It should be moved since it matches the screen...There's a lot of speculation as well... &mdash; Morder (talk) 07:16, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it means water. Hydrodynamics is the study of fluid in motion, not hydrogen. Magnetohydrodynamic propulsion is a method of propulsion for seagoing vessels. The "hydro" root does not mean hydrogen in all (or even most) cases, flat out. Hydrology is the study of water, not hydrogen. --OuroborosCobra talk 09:02, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, I just meant they might have attempted to use it as such :) I meant to say "this could be no different" :( &mdash; Morder (talk) 09:06, 29 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Since it was, in the end, meaningless technobabble, I removed the following speculation:


 * Judging from the name and the probe's mission, this device was presumably utilized for making precise measurements of, the study of electromagnetism through fluids, in determining the existence of life.


 * It is also possible that it describes the propulsion system of Nomad. creates its propulsive effects from the  resulting from plasma flowing through an accelerator. Interestingly, the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual describes the 24th century impulse engine as basically being a magnetohydrodynamic drive with an added driver coil for reducing the apparent mass.
