This document discusses antimatter power generation. It begins by introducing antimatter and its properties, such as positrons and antiprotons having opposite charge from normal matter but the same mass. Large particle accelerators like the LHC can produce antimatter. Antimatter could power spacecraft by annihilating with matter to produce thrust. It could also generate electricity through controlled annihilation reactions. Positron emission tomography uses antimatter annihilation to produce signals to image organs in the body. While antimatter power could be very efficient, antimatter is also discussed as a potential weapon due to the large energy release from matter-antimatter annihilation.

3. Introduction
 According to Einstein..
 Matter can be turned into energy, and energy into
matter.
 0.111Kg of hydrogen(in 1kg of water) is equivalent to
10,000,000,000,000,000 Joules of energy.
 Can all this energy really be released?
 Has it ever been?
 Why?

4. What is antimatter….?
 Antimatter is comprised of antiparticles….
 Positrons (e+)–electron.
 Antiproton(p-)-proton
 Anti-neutrons(pions): 0 charge, opposite magnetic field
 They have the opposite charge..
 Same mass…
 Obey the same physical laws…
 Our universe seems to be made entirely of matter. The only
antimatter in it is created in high energy collisions and is
soon annihilated.

6. Production of antimatter…

7.  LHC-world's largest particle accelerator
 CERN..
 Produce photons of high velocity…
 collide with a target..
 But if antimatter cant touch matter, how did they
conserve it, well they want to put an electo shield
inside a vacuum with no matter, this elecro flow makes
the antimatter hover, not touching the walls of the
container, which is matter..

8. Uses of antimatter..
 Antimatter in Spacecraft….
 Power generation…
 PET(Positron Emission Tomography) in hospital….
 Antimatter weapons..


9. Antimatter in Spacecraft….
 ICAN-II

10.  140 Nano grams of antiprotons…
 Only 30 days to Mars…
 1996, the Mars Global Surveyor took 11 months to
arrive at Mars….
 Heliopause, the point at which the sun's radiation
ends..
 Magnetic storage rings
 Feed system
 Magnetic rocket nozzle thruster

11.  antiprotons are injected to annihilate and heat the
plasma ..

12.  the charged particles of the antiproton annihilation
are directly released out of the vehicle along an axial
magnetic field at a very high velocity near the speed of
light..
 Why magnetic nozzle..?

13. Power generation

14.  Principles…
 Photons production by the stimulation of atoms with
electric discharges, light flashes, or any other means;
photons amplification by population inversion of excited
atoms; particle-antiparticle production by the collision of
photons; ion-pairs generation by the striking of high
energy charged particles with atoms at rest, and
subsequent generation of electron-positron avalanches
within conducting materials; finally, the separation of
electron-positron pairs by the crossing of strong
electromagnetic forces, originating the phenomena know
as Electricity.

15. Physical Description…
 Self reflecting chamber
 Cooling chamber-air/water..
 Ferromagnetic core..
 Ferromagnetic core leg..
 Collecting chamber-copper/lead/steel
 Electric coil

16. Advantages and disadvantage
No pollution..
Greater efficiency..
Capacity in GW…
 Energy from antimatter could be so economical, that it
will be cheaper to SAVE THE PLANET than to destroy
it.
 4.5 million dollars for equipment..
 270 million dollars for construction.

17. PET…

18.  inject positrons into a brain and watch for gamma rays
that flash when the positrons encounter electrons of
normal matter. The two destroy each other, giving off a
light pattern that is different in an afflicted brain than
in a normal one, thus revealing neurological
aberrations….
