- TL;DR Summary
- Is it possible to create a self sufficient particle collider that can produce enough energy to power a spacecraft as well as fit on one while still keeping the rockets weight light enough to allow lift off?
I have been thinking and I thought of a design that may, theoretically result in spacecraft being able to have a self sufficient energy source on board. Here’s my theory, if you have a minimized nuclear reactor (if building something like this is even possible given that the nuclear reaction must be stimulated precisely and cannot effect any of the reactors functions) and you put this reactor on a spacecraft and use the energy collected from the reactor to power the reactor again (this is the cycle that makes it self sufficient) and use at least some of said power for powering the spacecraft . Would something like this be at all possible? Please let me know.
