My last post simplified.
The same process that propelled a solar sail is utilized to move hydrogen atoms to near the speed of light inside a cone by using lasers traveling against the inside surface of the cone at such an angle to make millions of trips before exiting at the bottom. The hydrogen atoms will be pulled along by the lasers and collide at the exit at such a speed to create microscopic Black Hole just like the Large hadron collider except in a much smaller system stepping up from the size of pail to a 4 cylinder engine to a jet engine using the power of the smallest to power up the next size up etc.
@ldelirious34923@elonmusk Thank you for your thoughts, it is intended to make microscopic black holes and utilize hawking Radiation and possible fusion as propulsion.
Theory of a Microscopic Black Hole-Based Propulsion System for Space Travel
This propulsion system leverages the energy and particles emitted by microscopic black holes (MBHs) through Hawking radiation, combined with lasers and hydrogen molecules, to achieve efficient, high-thrust propulsion. The system also integrates regenerative life support by recycling water into hydrogen and oxygen for propulsion and sustaining life in space.
1. Conceptual Design
The propulsion system consists of three primary components:
Laser-Driven Hydrogen Acceleration:
Hydrogen molecules are accelerated using lasers in a conical chamber to create collisions that form MBHs.
Microscopic Black Hole Generation and Energy Release:
The collision of high-energy hydrogen molecules creates MBHs, which emit Hawking radiation as they evaporate.
Energy Harnessing and Closed-Loop Recycling:
The radiation and particles emitted during MBH evaporation are captured and used for:
Generating thrust.
Powering onboard systems.
Recycling water into hydrogen and oxygen.
2. Physics of Key Processes
2.1. Laser-Driven Hydrogen Acceleration
Hydrogen molecules are accelerated to near-light speeds using radiation pressure from lasers. The force exerted on a hydrogen molecule by a laser is:
F=P⋅σcF = \frac{P \cdot \sigma}{c}F=cP⋅σ
Where:
FFF: Force due to radiation pressure.
PPP: Laser power.
σ\sigmaσ: Effective cross-sectional area of the hydrogen molecule (∼10−20 m2\sim 10^{-20} \, \text{m}^2∼10−20m2).
ccc: Speed of light (3×108 m/s3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}3×108m/s).
The acceleration aaa of the hydrogen molecule is:
a=FmH=P⋅σc⋅mHa = \frac{F}{m_H} = \frac{P \cdot \sigma}{c \cdot m_H}a=mHF=c⋅mHP⋅σ
Where mH=3.34×10−27 kgm_H = 3.34 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg}mH=3.34×10−27kg is the mass of a hydrogen molecule.
The velocity after time ttt is:
v=P⋅σ⋅tc⋅mHv = \frac{P \cdot \sigma \cdot t}{c \cdot m_H}v=c⋅mHP⋅σ⋅t
By directing the lasers at a precise angle within a cone, hydrogen molecules are confined and accelerated, colliding at the cone’s narrow end with enough energy to create MBHs.
2.2. Microscopic Black Hole Formation
High-energy collisions of hydrogen molecules can theoretically produce MBHs if the energy of the collision exceeds the Planck energy:
Ecollision=2γmHc2E_{\text{collision}} = 2 \gamma m_H c^2Ecollision=2γmHc2
Where:
γ=11−v2c2\gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}γ=1−c2v21: Lorentz factor.
mHc2m_H c^2mHc2: Rest energy of a hydrogen molecule (∼3.02 MeV\sim 3.02 \, \text{MeV}∼3.02MeV).
At relativistic speeds (v∼cv \sim cv∼c), γ\gammaγ becomes large, and the collision energy can reach the Planck energy threshold (∼1019 GeV\sim 10^{19} \, \text{GeV}∼1019GeV).
2.3. Hawking Radiation from MBHs
Once an MBH is formed, it emits Hawking radiation due to quantum effects near its event horizon. The temperature of the MBH is:
TH=ℏc38πGMkBT_H = \frac{\hbar c^3}{8 \pi G M k_B}TH=8πGMkBℏc3
Where:
m˙\dot{m}m˙: Mass flow rate of emitted particles.
vexhaustv_{\text{exhaust}}vexhaust: Exhaust velocity (close to ccc).
g0g_0g0: Gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s29.8 \, \text{m/s}^29.8m/s2).
High exhaust velocities from Hawking radiation (approaching ccc) result in extremely high specific impulse (IspI_{\text{sp}}Isp):
Isp=vexhaustg0I_{\text{sp}} = \frac{v_{\text{exhaust}}}{g_0}Isp=g0vexhaust
3. Regenerative Life Support Integration
The escaping protons and energy from Hawking radiation are used to regenerate hydrogen and oxygen:
Proton Collection:
Magnetic fields collect protons emitted by the MBH.
The protons are combined with electrons to form hydrogen gas.
Water Electrolysis:
Hydrogen gas and recycled water are split into: 2H2O→2H2+O22H_2O \rightarrow 2H_2 + O_22H2O→2H2+O2
Hydrogen is fed back into the propulsion system.
Oxygen supports life support and plant growth.
Plant Growth:
Oxygen sustains the crew and supports photosynthesis in plants, which recycle CO2_22 and produce food.

The harnessing of Hawking radiation for propulsion represents a novel approach to interstellar travel, leveraging the frontier of quantum gravity and relativistic physics.
Theory: Microscopic Black Hole Creation Using Spiral Laser Confinement and Hydrogen Compression
Abstract
This theory proposes a system where high-energy lasers, traveling along a perfect spiral trajectory within a conical structure, focus their energy to compress injected hydrogen molecules at near-light speeds. The extreme energy density generated at the cone’s tip is hypothesized to reach conditions sufficient for the creation of microscopic black holes. The process relies on principles from quantum field theory, general relativity, and high-energy particle physics.
1. Energy Density and Black Hole Formation
According to General Relativity, a black hole forms when the energy density in a region of spacetime becomes large enough to curve spacetime into a singularity. The Schwarzschild radius RsR_sRs for a black hole is given by:
Rs=2GMc2R_s = \frac{2GM}{c^2}Rs=c22GM
Where:
GGG: Gravitational constant (6.674×10−11 m3 kg−1 s−26.674 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{m}^3 \, \text{kg}^{-1} \, \text{s}^{-2}6.674×10−11m3kg−1s−2)
MMM: Mass-energy of the system (E/c2E/c^2E/c2)
ccc: Speed of light (3×108 m/s3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}3×108m/s)
To create a black hole, the energy EEE must be compressed within a volume smaller than its Schwarzschild radius. The energy density ρ\rhoρ required is:
ρ=EV≥c48πG\rho = \frac{E}{V} \geq \frac{c^4}{8 \pi G}ρ=VE≥8πGc4
For microscopic black holes, the energy required corresponds to the Planck energy scale, EpE_pEp:
Ep=ℏc5G≈1.22×1019 GeVE_p = \sqrt{\frac{\hbar c^5}{G}} \approx 1.22 \times 10^{19} \, \text{GeV}Ep=Gℏc5≈1.22×1019GeV
Where:
ℏ\hbarℏ: Reduced Planck's constant (1.054×10−34 J\cdotps1.054 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J·s}1.054×10−34J\cdotps).
2. Laser Energy and Compression
2.1. Laser Power and Energy Density
The system uses high-energy lasers confined in a spiral trajectory to focus energy at the cone’s tip. The power of a single laser beam is:
P=EΔtP = \frac{E}{\Delta t}P=ΔtE
Where:
PPP: Laser power (W\text{W}W)
Δt\Delta tΔt: Pulse duration.
The intensity III of the laser at the cone tip is:
I=PAI = \frac{P}{A}I=AP
Where:
AAA: Area of the laser spot at the cone’s tip.
For a tightly focused beam, the area is approximately:
A=π(λ2NA)2A = \pi \left( \frac{\lambda}{2NA} \right)^2A=π(2NAλ)2
Where:
λ\lambdaλ: Laser wavelength.
NANANA: Numerical aperture of the focusing system.
2.2. Convergence of Energy
Multiple lasers, spiraling along the interior of the cone, contribute to the total energy density at the tip. If NNN lasers of power PPP converge, the total intensity becomes:
Itotal=N⋅PAI_{\text{total}} = N \cdot \frac{P}{A}Itotal=N⋅AP
This intensity must be sufficient to ionize and compress the hydrogen molecules.
3. Hydrogen Molecule Compression
3.1. Kinetic Energy of Hydrogen Molecules
Hydrogen molecules are injected into the cone and accelerated by photon pressure from the lasers. The force on a single molecule due to radiation pressure is:
F=Itotal⋅σcF = \frac{I_{\text{total}} \cdot \sigma}{c}F=cItotal⋅σ
Where:
σ\sigmaσ: Cross-sectional area of the hydrogen molecule.
The acceleration aaa of the hydrogen molecule is:
a=FmHa = \frac{F}{m_H}a=mHF
Where mHm_HmH is the mass of the hydrogen molecule (3.34×10−27 kg3.34 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg}3.34×10−27kg).
The velocity vvv of the hydrogen molecule after traveling a distance ddd is:
v=2adv = \sqrt{2ad}v=2ad
3.2. Energy Density at the Tip
The hydrogen molecules converge at the cone’s tip, where they collide at near-relativistic speeds. The energy density at the tip is given by:
ρ=∑EkinV\rho = \frac{\sum E_{\text{kin}}}{V}ρ=V∑Ekin
Where:
Ekin=12mHv2E_{\text{kin}} = \frac{1}{2} m_H v^2Ekin=21mHv2: Kinetic energy of each hydrogen molecule.
VVV: Effective interaction volume at the tip.
If the energy density exceeds the critical threshold defined by c48πG\frac{c^4}{8 \pi G}8πGc4, a microscopic black hole may form.
