Together, these 4 settings define the coordinates whatever or whoever is on the telepad will find themselves after you push the Send button on the console via the following equation:
Together, these 4 settings define the coordinates whatever or whoever is on the telepad will find themselves after you push the Send button on the console via the following equation:


* (destination X, destination Y) = (telepad X + distance * sin(bearing)),(telepad Y + distance * cos(bearing))
*[[File:Telescience destinationX equation.png]]
 
*[[File:Telescience destinationY equation.png]]
where
where
* distance = (2*(power*sin(elevation)/10)*(power*cos(elevation)) = (power^2)*sin(2*elevation)/10

For non-mathy people, think of the telepad as a cannon. Your bearing is the angle you rotate the cannon to, your elevation is the angle you point your barrel at the sky, the power is how hard you're going to shoot the projectile, and the sector has no analogy here.
 
For mathy people, think the same thing, but keep in mind the following


In dummytalk, Bearing specifies a direction from the telepad (with 0 being North, 90 - East, 180 - South and 270 - West) and Elevation and Power specify how far from the telepad the target will travel.
*There is no drag/air resistance to calculate
*The cannon's aiming is perfect
*The terrain is perfectly flat
*The gravitational acceleration in this world is 10 units/second^2
*The destination is sin(θ), cos(θ); not cos(θ),sin(θ) like unit circles.
