Transpower System
(aka Power Room #2)
As the artron energy from the Eye travels from the Cloister Room up the shaft of the Time Sceptre it passes into the Transpower Systems. The Transpower System uses the internal power regulator and artronic resonators to monitor, reroute, and distribute this energy to the rest of the ship. The system is lined with the transitional element Zyton-7 to generate Orbital Energy. The entire system is routed through the Secondary Control Console's 2LO Energy Distributor Circuit (see illustration) and is controlled and monitored with the Booster Switches and the Power Response Dials. Failure of the 2LO Circuit will not only prevent travel but stop a TARDIS's lighting, heating, and food dispenser from working. A red light indicates failure of main power. The power used by the Dynamorphic Generators during Vortex travel should not exceed 1000 omegas. Otherwise a TARDIS will begin draining the Ancillary Power Systems. The amount of power necessary to enter and travel through time is dependent on the size of the object being transported. A full sized TARDIS requires a steady output of several hundred omegas to travel in the Vortex, but if only the console is flying a mere 500 watts is sufficient. Strong telepathic signals may interfere with the flow of Artron Energy within a TARDIS and cause all sorts of malfunctions. Attack by a massively powerful telepathic force can cause the Relative Continuum Stabilizer to fail.
