Power generation

Post by Rye »

i was just wondering....considering how much energy SW ships get out of hypermatter, if it were possible to acquire anti hypermatter, how much power could you get out of that?

perhaps this shoul;d be in slam, im not sure, and i've made a race that uses this power generation, a retile species that..mumblemumble mubmle..

I don't know i have never heard of Anti-hypermatter in SW, but if you are creating a new race you can do pretty much what ever you want, it is your universe after all...

Well i thought for a way to harvest it...it would exist in hyperspace, and hyperhydrogen puts out waaay more energy than it's Realspace equivalent, and hyperhydrogen fusion gives out as much power as fusion ^(level of hyperspace) and there's some special stations in x layer of hyperspace that can generate hyperantihydrogen...so i was wondering how much energy do ordinary m/am reactions put out?

Well, we don't know how hypermatter works in SW. It could already be similar in some way to M/AM reactions, or it could be completely different. So, as other said, you can do whatever you want in your own work.
so i was wondering how much energy do ordinary m/am reactions put out?
E=mc^2

Take the total mass of the reaction in kilograms (1 kg of matter with 1 kg of antimatter will be 2 kg total), and multiply it by the square of the speed of light (in meters per second). The result will be the maximum possible energy release in joules. The actual result will be somewhat less than this for various reasons.

Real Hypermatter

Post by omegaLancer »

Rye just for the record there is really is a form of matter that physicist call Hypermatter...

Hypermatter is matter composed of heavy quarks ( Charm and strange )..

A hyper-particle ( any particle using one of these quarks) would contain more mass than either a proton or Nuetron..

A collection of such particles ( called Charmium or Stranglets) would be more massive than an equal number of Protons and Neutrons.

A speck of dust made on strange quarks would weight thousands of tons..

While matter made of Charm quarks is unstable, Strange quarks trend to make stable long live particles ( From the view of particle physicist) and Strangelet are believed to be as stable as normal matter.

Both quarks come where anti quarks so anti hypermatter would be possible.

The idea of hypermatter is a complex-mass "ballast" that circulates around the ship in hyperspace. It's not an infinite source; each ship carries a finite amount. But it's where the ship gets all of its energy from without being enormous. It doesn't really explain exactly how it's converted into energy; for all we know, it's already used in an annihilation process.

That's not the same stuff as SW hypermatter.

So noone'll jump all over me for not having an "accurate" hypermatter then, in reference to this universe's physics?

Just explain that the SW2ICS describes hypermatter, and it's obviously a different term, having to do with hyperspace.
