Cloaking_Devices

Cloaking Devices A cloaking device is an energy screen generator used to render an object (typically, a space vehicle) invisible to the eye and to most sensor systems. This is accomplished by gravitational lensing, the creation of a distorted image of an object when it's light is focused by gravity. In the case of a cloaking device, the light is focused so that the object's index of refraction (the phase velocity of radiation in free space divided by the phase velocity of the same radiation in a specified medium) matches its surroundings, making the object transparent. Cloaking a ship requires precisely balancing the radiative emissions from the warp drive nacelles, dissipating all electromagnetic radiation, gravitational fields and other energy emissions emanating from the ship, and distorting space in such a way that electromagnetic radiation and energy emissions are directed around the ship through subspace at velocities faster than light. Off-axis warp field controllers balance the radiative emissions from the warp drive nacelles. This is necessary because the power source must be in phase with the cloaking device. These devices are used on warp-capable ships without cloaking devices, as well as warp-capable ships with cloaking devices, because they increase the engine operating effeciency. energy, ship, cloaking, field, coils, generator, light, warp, subspace, radiation, computers, emissions, electromagnetic, space, pattern, graviton, distortion, dispersal, devices, cores, around, amount, within, way, through, polarity, perform, necessary, must, magnetic, gravitational, focused, faster, directed, create, because, specific, source, ships, required, plasma, phase, one, object, nullifier, mk, masked, gravity, function, each, device
