frankly i don't know much about anti-matter or super conductors...i just read an into-level topic on anti-matter and had a thought.
the main concern while developing an energy source is that its feasibility should be considered...right? and the problem with anti-matter is that it takes too much energy to produce and then store it.
i was just wondering whether it can be stored in a superconducting magnetic tube?
i mean there are no losses in a super conductor and consequently the magnetic field will be able to store it easily . that is what i was thinking. has anyone done this thing at cern or anywhere else yet?
