powersources

My suggestion is Blackhole and A-bombs as a power source,

I got this information of a dutch science magazine, i translated it by gooble, so some things can be wrong.

Blackhole:

The mathematicians Louis Crane and Shawn Westmoreland Kansas State University in the U.S. imagine that we ever make a starship on a self-made black hole. A black hole can not just do. A giant laser on solar energy with a span of 250 km should get a job in Mercury, where the sunlight is bright. After one year collect energy, the laser ignited by a discharge of gamma radiation. The beam is focused at a point where the energy is so dense that there is a black hole onststaat that millions of tons of heavy, but smaller than an atomic nucleus. This hole is located at the site of the starship in orbit around the Sun, and the saucer-shaped engine of the ship. The principle behind the engine is that small black holes are not completely black - they will slowly evaporate. This was discovered by British physicist Stephen Hawking. From its inception sends the hole Hawking radiation, but at the expense of the hole, which is getting smaller. The probe starts with a gap of one million tons that will last the whole trip. If the black hole is placed at the center of the dish, all hawking radiation from the nozzle of the spacecraft stowed, and that gives enough pressure to make the journey begin.

the solar energy can be replaced with other energy sources, darkmatter, anti-matter, fusion or ion.

A-bombs

a very popular idea from the beginning of the year 1960 comes, is a spacecraft propulsion by small nuclear bombs behind a ship to detonate. There are even testes made also by the famous physicist Freeman Dyson, who showed that the idea works. The spacecraft must naturally firm. A large bottom plate and a number of powerful shocks absorb the shock of the explosions. The crew did a very good protection against radiation. The bombs are small and each have an explosive force of a few kilotons of TNT. They must be swiftly fired about five bombs per second. The idea was originally for a spaceship that a large crew and thousands of tons of material to a base on Mars could Breg. It would depart from earth, preferably from a vast desert. The idea died, however, when it was forbidden to atomic tests in the atmosphere to do. Subsequent calculations showed that space ships of this type is 10% of light speed to be reached, and thus within 50 years if the nearest star.



All this information is in the story of flying to another star.

I don't understand your suggestion, what is its point?

good question forgotten ^^

'my point is, what energy source will PG use when we enter other systems, some think draconis will have darkmatter or anti-matter, but sirius or tau ceti?

ok well for now, we have no way even in PG or any possible way know to man under the laws of pysics that you can put a ship around a Black Hole and not expect it to incinerate and become part of it.

A-Bombs, interesting idea but dont see point in PG unless a major revamp is made. Btw A-Bombs wouldnt be a good power sourse cuss they basically destroy u too when u charge them up. They are basically the same thing as a realistic death star would use, a Nuclear Bomb Core that can only be used once before destroying the entire station or ship.

First of all, a blackhole is controlable, as said in the topic if it's smaller then a partical, it can't get enough power to destroy your ship.

A-bombs don't destroy a lot in space, it needs gravity, but it does a lot damage to our species, by radiation.

 

[DeathsBeast]

Wow, you clearly have been watching far too much sci-fi... Black holes, controllable.... -_- And a-bombs not doing damage, again, what are you on? Have you seen an atom bomb explode? Does it only explode down? No, gravity is clearly not essential...

Ok is its that small your also not going to get much energy from it, atleast prob not nearly enough to power a ship. Also, black holes are either expanding or shrinking depending on if they are consuming other objects or not thus you'd have to "feed" it "food" to keep it from becoming a atomic black hole and you also have to deal with the gama rays and radiation it emits.

A-Bombs dont need gravity (as said before) when you drop a Nuke, it only goes up to form the mushroom cuss it cant go into the ground thus it can only go up, east, west, north, south est. Still, I have a hard time imagining one that wouldnt destroy the ships engine area it was in or the entire ship in the process.
