Total conversion of antimatter in the presence of matter, and the incandescent plasma that it generates, can be used for the production of power. This book describes how to make, capture, store, and use antimatter. It is the answer to the sceptics who say that using antimatter is too risky, too difficult, or too expensive. The authors explain, step-by-step, how to improve the cost-effectiveness of antimatter production, how antimatter can be used in power stations, and how it can improve the propulsion of interplanetary rocket engines by one or two orders of magnitude.
