Eugene Sanger Uses Antimatter As Their Power Source For Propulsionpose

Antimatter rockets are the rockets which use antimatter as their power source for propulsion purpose. Use of these rockets will make human beings capable of travelling farther distances like in light years, in working life time of a human being. They have very high specific impulse and they travel with speed nearly equal to that of light. It is a revolutionary development as far as rockets and space exploration is concerned.An Antimatter rocket uses antimatter as fuel instead of any hydrocarbon. Antimatter has the highest specific energy of any source known to man. An antimatter rocket is a class of rockets that uses antimatter as their power source. Antimatter rockets to have a far higher energy density and specific impulse than any other

Matter-antimatter explosion transfers complete mass of both objects into energy. Attempts are being made to increase the production of antimatter at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) and The European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) to extend the energy range of particle collision experiments. [1]Studies reveal that matter-antimatter annihilations yield the highest specific impulse and jet power of any propulsion system. Furthermore, it can yield specific impulses on the order of 107 seconds with thrust in the mega-Newton range proving it to be most efficient of all known propulsion

This type of rocket utilizes one of the three methods to heat the propellant. One proposed method is to use positron an-annihilation gamma rays to heat a solid engine core. Hydrogen gas is ducted through this core, heated, and expelled from a rocket nozzle. A second proposed engine type uses positron annihilation within a solid lead pellet or within compressed xenon gas to produce a cloud of hot gas, which heats a surrounding layer of gaseous hydrogen. A third proposed engine type uses annihilation gamma rays to heat an ablative sail, with the ablated material providing
