[QUOTE]Originally posted by Davok: [QB] [QUOTE]Transportable containers? Pull the other one. You'd need a huge power source for the magnetic field plus its backup (since no one wants an antimatter explosion anywhere). They don't have that kind of heavy-duty portable power generation yet.[/QUOTE]I had a lecture today about antimatter propulsion given by a postdoc who had recently spent several months at CERN. He said it would be absolutely no problem to transport up to 10<sup>12</sup> antihydrogen atoms in a penning trap. He also said he had planned to transport a trap from Geneva to Stuttgart to prove tranportability, which only failed since CERN stopped producing antihydrogen. Concerning "huge power source", he said a 9V-battery would suffice to sustain the magnetic field needed to confine antihydrogen at 4K!! [/QB][/QUOTE]
