Sorry if this has been asked/discussed before but: What kind of energy source powers the TARDIS? What is known about it? I know that sometimes the Doctor jettisoned or converted rooms into energy for extra "thrust" in emergencies. I thought I heard the name of the energy source mentioned in "Four to Doomsday." -- Paul Kemp ihnp4!hou2a!pjk

Since I didn't get an answer the first time through, I'll try this again: (This newsgroup has been quiet lately anyway.)

>What kind of energy source powers the TARDIS? > Paul Kemp > ihnp4!hou2a!pjk In The Deadly Assassin, we learn that the source of the Timelord's powers is a black hole (the eye of harmony) which is held in some kind of balance with the (main city) of Gallifrey. I have often thought that somehow there is a receiver of some sorts on the Tardis to harness this energy source. But then I saw Time Flight the other night where we find out that the Master's energy source is dead and he is trying to steal a new (infinitely powerful) one. This would imply that there is a distinct source of power within each Tardis. Well, there's my 2 bits worth.

I believe it is the same source which powers all of Gallifrey.
That is, Omega. (The Time Lords captured him a long time ago).

I'm drawing this conclusion from 'Four to Doomsday,' so I'm not sure if it was just a sham to confound the frogs or what. -- Alan (!tektronix!reed!schmidt)

Not exactly...the EYE OF HARMONY, which is the source of the Time Lords' energy, is a black hole held captive under the Panopticon. It was placed there by Rassilon. Omega's black hole is a different one. Omega was the first of a series of solar engineers, culminating in Rassilon.

In one of the episodes(Sorry can't remeber the title) the Doctor(Baker) mentioned something about using the gravitational fields(attraction) between planets or some such thing. Anyone remember or care to comment. Zarth Arn

Wait a minute.... could it be that this explains the Transwarp
drive used in Star Trek III? Don't tell me the U.S.S. Excelsior is
just an overgrown TARDIS with no Chameleon Circuit? -)
