WHAT IS ANTIMATTER?

Antimatter in simplified terms is nothing but the exact opp

replica of matter itself.

To be more explanative, its the same as matter, with the sa

atomic number, size, mass and so on. BUT with the exact

opposite charge.

i.e. positrons for electrons, anti-protons for protons, anti-qu

for quarks, so on.

SOME FACTS ABOUT ANTIMATTER

First predicted in the year 1929.

First produced in the year 1999 (anti-hydrogen).

Sustained for 15 minutes until no recently (2012) (@ CERN).

Made in large colliders, where atoms impact at high velocities and the energy gets converted to gamma radiation, anti-protons and positrons

63 trillion $ per gram per year.

Produces massive amounts of energy as it comes in contact with matteannihilating itself and the latter.

CONSIDERING THE LAST LISTE

FACT!

Being able to produce huge and massive amounts of energy,

serves to be the very purpose of attraction to our eyes.

Mass to energy ratio using antimatter is humongous compar

conventional methods.

Being very lighter and super packed, serves to be the best fu

known to mankind.

APPLICATION IN ENGINES

Matter-antimatter propulsion will be the most efficient propulsion ever

developed, as all the mass of the matter and antimatter is converted into

energy.

When matter and antimatter collide, the energy released by their annihi

10 billion times the energy that of hydrogen and oxygen combustion, tha

is used in space shuttle.

Matter-antimatter reactions produce 1,000 times the energy of nuclear f

and 300 times the nuclear fusion energy. So, matter-antimatter engines h

the potential to take us farther with less fuel.

STORAGE AND PRODUCTIVE

USAGE

A magnetic storage ring is needed to store antimatter.

They can be stored in STRONG magnetic field induced rings as they mu

kept away from matter until they are actually needed to generate ener

A feed system to release antimatter in exactly required amounts aimed

target matter to generate energy. A relatively long magnetic nozzle to move the energy created by the m

antimatter collision through the thruster.

INSPIRATIONAL ANALYSIS

Just 10 gm of antimatter would be sufficient to power a manned craft t

with the journey span being just 1 month.

Wider range compared to conventional transport methods.

Possibility to travel at very high speeds.

Possibility to travel beyond heliopause (beyond influence of suns radiaOpens up numerous promising advancements in a wide range of fields
