I removed:

Warp coils are typically composed of cast verterium cortenide surrounding a core of densified tungsten-cobalt-magnesium. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual)

Information is from non-canon source. --Shran 11:01, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

nope, the information appeared in VOY: "Investigations" -- Kobi - (Talk) 12:00, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Ah, then that being the case, I shall re-add it with the correct canon reference. :) --Shran 12:02, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question -- First Contact

Since I'm too lazy to locate the DVD for the film, I'll ask ya'll. In "A Matter of Time", Riker considered the warp coil to be the most important of the 22nd century, but in the 2063 scenes of Star Trek: First Contact, didn't Barclay bring out a warp coil for Geordi to inspect? That would mean the coils were around in the 21st century, would it not? Or was it a different piece of technology? --From Andoria with Love 18:41, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't have the DVD at all, but I seem to remember it being a plasma coil, although given what we know about Earth style warp drives, the Phoenix had to have had warp coils. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 18:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Here is a picture of what I remember being a plasma coil. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 18:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

hmm... Could Target (my name for will riker... "Fire at will!") be referring to the modern warp coil? --6/6 _{Neural Transceiver} 19:44, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps those of the style developed for the Warp Five program are the direct ancestors of those still used in the 24th century? --OuroborosCobra ^talk 19:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

The thing in that image from FC was actually a spare part with copper tubing that Reg thought he could use to replace the damaged warp plasma conduit of the Phoenix. So not a warp or a plasma coil, just a tube that the warp plasma flows through. --Pseudohuman 10:01, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Any particular reason why ((cur) (prev) 15:15, 27 May 2009 DarkHorizon (Talk | contribs) m (2,431 bytes) (Reverted edits by 205.188.116.196 (talk) to last version by DelBeccio-bot) (undo)) removed my adding what Wikipedia has on tungsten, cobalt, and magnesium? There was no reason to remove the external links I included at the bottom of the article. --205.188.116.72 15:50, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Because the external links are to be used for links relevant to this article, such as an article on warp coils elsewhere. All three elements have articles here, which already link to their corresponding Wikipedia articles. -- Michael Warren | Talk 15:57, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
