Bear in mind whatever speed you achieve on your trip out to Proxima, you'll have to bleed off nearly all of it to even stay in the Proxima system in orbit around the primary. Which means you'll have to turn the craft around at the mid-point and start accelerating in the opposite direction (which we will refer to as "deceleration" for the purpose of this discussion). Looks like antimater propulsion gives you 6.3 trillion miles per year, or 17.2 million miles per day, or 716, 700mph. That's 40 years acceleration and rouhgly 40 years "deceleration" -- that is unless you just want to wave at the Proxima system on your way through.

With a positron/electron "collision" there are two 511Kev gamma rays emitted at 180 degrees from each other. Do the directions of these gammas correlate to the spin axes of the particles? Has anyone tried to figure this out? It is critical because I believe we are capable of controlling the orientation of the spin axes and thus we should be able to aim the gammas.

Nice "concept talk", but the meaningful information is missing. What's the efficiency of the new positron moderator? Is it twice as efficient (meaning 0,2%)? Ten times? Also, what's the "energy density" of using an isotope for positron creation? Because taking an isotope to create a positron means you get fractions of a percent of the weight as actual antimatter. Coupled with the losses of the blackbox positron moderator, what are your calculations in terms of efficiency? Also, how do you deal with the logarithmically declining thrust from the isotope decay during flight? Will you create isotopes on the spaceship itself? If so, how much energy would that take and would it still be economical? Show us some data, or at least some maths...

[@scottperry9581]

I had the same thought with respect to energy density. He completely ignored the fact that the "fuel" one must carry is the radio-isotope; not pure antimatter.

[@Mephilis78]

KeyserX Is it normal for someone to treat a seminar as the submission of a research paper? That's a lot of details to drop on a venue full of laymen. Also I'm pretty sure that this guy is a CEO, that means this is a business seminar. If he gave out that much detail his competitors would be able to replicate it. You could always wait and look up the patents, later.

[@Isambardify]

Mephilis 78 But there isn't necessarily even anything here. He could say, "we aim to have a kilo of antimatter and plans for a ship capable of containing it within 15 years" or whatever. That would be the business pitch with no complicated science. Just hearing facts about the theoretical energy density and production of antimatter is very dubious. Not to say they won't achieve something in the future, but I think if they had a more significant technical breakthrough at this point they probably would have mentioned it.

To my understanding the engine seems more like a ion reactor than anit-matter, eventually what you are throwing out is a charged particle. the anti-mater is what you are using to generate enough energy through gama rays to charge the particle. and that part you can do any which ways as you have a radioactive material on board. instead of anti-matter you may also use a standard nuclear reactor for the purpose. My knowledge in this area is limited but that's what it seems to me.

The intro to this talk is weak. There is no need to start off a talk about _why_ we should have better rocket technology. Everyone in the room already agrees with that. Just get on with the antimatter portion of the talk. By the way, I love how he tried to hype up the audience with the possibility of traveling to the nearest "habitable" planet. The planet he's talking about (it's name is "Proxima b") is most definitely *not* habitable, despite being in the _habitable zone._ The habitable zone just means that a planet is located inside a region where temperatures would permit water to exist in its liquid form. However, the star ("Proxima Centauri") is a red dwarf. That means it's very small and cool, compared to the Sun. That means that its habitable zone is *much closer* to the star. The planet orbits its star at just 5% of the distance that earth orbits. In fact it orbits much closer than even Mercury, our closest planet. Whereas earth takes 1 year to orbit the sun, Proxima b whips around Proxima Centauri in just 11 days. In other words it's VERY close to its star. The problem is that being so close makes it much more susceptible to solar activity. Proxima Centauri (and many red dwarfs) are considered flare stars. They go through a very long period of being unstable. Earlier this year, the star just had a solar flare that increased it's light emission in the visible spectrum by a factor of 38. Could you imagine walking outside at noon and all of a sudden the sun gets *38 times brighter* ? You would die instantly. Your body would be engulfed in flames. There would be nothing left. Additionally, orbiting so close to its star means that it receives over 2000 times the solar wind that Earth receives. This wind has long ago blown off the planet's atmosphere (similar to Mercury). Additionally, the emission in the UV spectrum is far higher and having no atmosphere to block it means the surface facing the sun is absolutely sterile. I forgot to mention that being in such a close orbit means that the planet will be tidally locked to the star. That means one side _always_ faces the star, and the other side _always_ faces away. It does not spin. There is no day/night. In summary, it's not a good planet to visit and not a good introduction to a talk about antimatter.

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

Where a hall effect thruster delivers 10 to100mN thrust you surely can divide this thrust by 1,000,000,000,000,000. The problem is, there definitely is no such radioisotope with the specified requirements. It has to produce beta(+) radiation (these particles have an energy 4000 smaller than protons or neutron) in "grain" dose size in minutes... Such thing would instantly explode with a giga bang! If you want to "create" such giga radiator it would take several mulitples of 1000 of nuclear power stations... And this material would be not stable. Its physical half-life must be in the sub-nano-seconds range. You cannot stabilize such a "beast" of a giga-rdiator.

The thrust to weight isn't so important when you're in space. The exhaust velocity is more important. I've seen a paper that postulates an engine with an exhaust velocity of 0.7 c and a thrust of 0.01 g. Both of these values are way higher than what ion/electrostatic drives are capable of. Higher thrust with lower efficiency would be possible by pumping in more matter in an 'afterburner' manner.

Contrary to what most folks seem to be saying about this clip, the presentation deliniates a feasible method for using the energy released in a nuclear fission reaction to generate a propulsive force that does not require the craft to use additional propellant. To be clear, a high intensity, source of low velocity positrons is described. This is used to induce fission of a suitable nucleotide generating highly energetic charged particles. The fission is carried out in physical congiguration that allows the charged particles to be captured and directed away from vessle using an electromagnetic field at 10% the speed of light... an extraordinary and very specific claim. In this talk, the individual does not quantify the specific positron production capacity, or the yield of fission products per unit of positron generation. But this talk is not the place for that. It would be lost on an audience of laypeople, and in all likelyhood it is currently uncalculatable with a high degree of confidence by any known approach. That's why this is exciting. He is saying we have invented this positron moderation device that we believe might make the concept viable. But we don't know for sure. Fund us in order to develop the science and mathematics and experimental data that we need in order to make that determination. It is bold. It is risky, it may not work. But there are many reasons why we should find out. Even if it dorsn't work what we learn from the failure moves us closer to the civilization changing prize of pseudo-propellantless thrust and space travel at high fractions of lightspeed. SJF
