SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the theoretical concept of utilizing small black holes as energy sources by creating them in particle accelerators and placing them within charged cells. The proposal suggests that surrounding a black hole with mass, such as radioactive material emitting neutrons, could allow it to emit photons, thus generating energy. The idea hinges on the relationship between the black hole's surface area and the number of photons emitted, positing that energy can be harnessed from the X-rays produced when matter is consumed by the black hole. The feasibility of constructing such a system remains uncertain.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of black hole physics and thermodynamics
  • Familiarity with particle accelerators and their functions
  • Knowledge of radiation types, specifically X-rays and neutron emissions
  • Basic principles of energy conversion and harnessing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mechanics of black hole thermodynamics and Hawking radiation
  • Explore advancements in particle accelerator technology and their capabilities
  • Investigate methods for harnessing X-rays for energy production
  • Study the implications of using radioactive materials in energy systems
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physicists, energy researchers, and theoretical scientists interested in advanced energy generation concepts and the potential applications of black hole physics.

I thought if you could create small black holes in particle accelerators, is it possible to charge them and put them in charged cells in a sphere. In the middle of the sphere you put radioactive material that emit neutrons. My theory is that the black hole can never have maximum acceleration as long as there are masses around them, and therefore they can emit photons. if they would emit photones and "eat" neutrones so that they have constant mass, could they be used as an energy source or is it already impossible to create the sphere?

I am counting on that the number of photons the black hole emit per second is proportional with the surface area of the black hole and not its volume.

That post is mostly gibberish, but in theory a black hole could be used as a power source: Throw matter into it and it emits x-rays. Harness the X-rays.
 
Even if the matter you throw in is a black hole?

Why should a black hole not be able to emit energy under the influence of gravity? Can you explain in words how that is?
