Use black holes as energysource

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of using small black holes as an energy source by charging them and placing them in a sphere with radioactive material. The theory suggests that the black holes can emit photons and "eat" neutrons, potentially creating a constant mass and emitting energy. However, it is unclear if this is possible or if the black holes would emit energy while under the influence of gravity.

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 allready 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?

1. What is a black hole?

A black hole is a region of space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape from it. It is created when a massive star dies and collapses in on itself, becoming infinitely dense.

2. Can we harness energy from black holes?

Currently, we do not have the technology to directly harness energy from black holes. However, some scientists have proposed theoretical methods, such as extracting energy from the rotation of the black hole or using the intense gravitational forces to generate electricity.

3. How much energy can be obtained from a black hole?

The amount of energy that can be obtained from a black hole is theoretically infinite. This is due to the fact that black holes have an incredibly strong gravitational pull, which can potentially power entire civilizations for billions of years.

4. What are the potential risks of using black holes as an energy source?

Using black holes as an energy source is currently only a theoretical concept and comes with many potential risks and challenges. These include the danger of accidentally creating a larger, more unstable black hole, the difficulty of controlling and directing the energy, and the potential harm to surrounding ecosystems.

5. Are there any current research or experiments being done on using black holes as an energy source?

While there have been theoretical proposals, there are currently no known experiments or research being conducted on using black holes as an energy source. The technology and understanding of black holes are still in its early stages, and more research and development would be needed before this concept could become a reality.
