|    High-Performance Interstellar Engines    |

      From: sungjunnoh0802@gmail.com              I was creating that 30,000 ton interstellar starship when I came upon a       decision:              I (obviously) wanted a high-performance engine when I came up with an       interesting engine:              Antimatter Plasma or Antimatter-Powered Nuclear Pulse              So, the way that the Antimatter Pulse would work is:              there is a pusher-plate, and 2 coilguns on either side of the plate launch a       piece of matter and antimatter to below the center of the plate instead of       nukes coming off the back.              Basically super-high tech ol' boom boom.              I could try to calculate the newtons/joule but I don't know how to do that.       Using e=mc^2 would work but without being able to do the first part, its       useless.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
