Positron Generator: Create Anti-Particles & 100% E=MC2?

[piddilingjr]

if you have a beam of high energy electrons ( enough energy to create positrons) that hit plate in a vacuum that was positively charged could you produce anit particles without the particels annihilating it self (hence the vacuum) and have the positivly charge particles suspended in a magnetic field? and could you have a 100% energy to matter generator. for example puting in 5000 watts and getting out 5.5632e-14 kgs of mass? direct e=mc2 or would this system be partly efficient

You could convert 100% of the mass to energy or vice versa.. BUT not with the technology that exists today or atleast for the next 15-20 years. Correct me if i am wrong but as of today u can convert i guess 0.7 % of mass to energy in the worlds best colliders.
When u burn a paper u are converting around 0.001% or even lesser!

It's worth a taking a moment to do the math before posting... Not everyone reading your post will understand that by "or even lesser", you mean five decimal orders of magnitude. That's the difference between a glass of water and a decent-sized swimming pool.

Besides, 0.00000001% makes your point so much better

There are two questions here: generating positrons, and storing/controlling them to do something interesting with them. If you google for "positron generation" and "positron storage" you'll find a bunch of interesting links, get a sense of just how effective the current techniques are.

No matter what we do, the total amount of energy that we put into creating the initial beam of high-energy electron will far exceed the energy of the massive particles created by the collisions of that beam with its target.

I cannot provide a definitive answer without further information and experimentation. However, I can offer some insights on the concept described.

The idea of using a beam of high energy electrons to create positrons in a positively charged plate in a vacuum is a valid one. This process is known as pair production, where a high energy photon can create an electron and a positron. In this case, the high energy electrons are acting as the high energy photons.

In theory, it is possible to suspend the positrons in a magnetic field and prevent them from annihilating with the electrons. This is because positrons have a positive charge and will be attracted to a negatively charged magnetic field, while electrons will be repelled. However, this process would require precise control and manipulation of the magnetic field to keep the positrons from coming into contact with any electrons.

The concept of a 100% energy to matter generator is intriguing, but it is important to note that there are always losses of energy and efficiency in any system. It is unlikely that a system could have a 100% efficiency in converting energy to matter. Additionally, the amount of mass produced would depend on the energy input and the efficiency of the system. The equation E=mc^2 only provides a maximum limit for the amount of mass that can be created from a given amount of energy, but it does not guarantee that this amount will be produced in a given system.

In summary, the concept of a positron generator and a 100% energy to matter converter is theoretically possible, but it would require further research and experimentation to determine its feasibility and efficiency.
