I know there are very many intellegent people who use daniweb so i decided i start a thread on matter and antimatter, to see if i can learn from some people or possibly them from me.
What amazes me, is that scientist say when energy become form, it happens in pairs; matter and anti matter and when they are braught together a flash of pure energy occurs with no physical product. aparently there is enough energy in one gram of matter to provide for a med sized town for a day.
makes you wonder why we spend money on gas not the producttion of antimatter. ohhhh ya it cost 300 billion dollars per gram.
Any thoughts or fact that might be interesting.
hmmmmm just found the wiki on antimatter.........interesting :p

1 g of hydrogen fused to helium will give you 174,000 kilowatt-hours of energy.
Let's assume average house consumes 30 kilowatt-hours/day.

really? thats amazing but im not familiar with fusion. I would assume that for say 500 000 Hydrogen atoms there would be 250 000 He atoms? Ya that would make sense.
so Fusion consumes that much energy hey? Nice! so that would mean that the fission of the same amount of He would release en aequal amount of energy?

The typical 50 hp all electric car with very efficient battery and electric motor would spent about $0.30 per mile, if each kwh of electricity costs $0.10.

The sun produces 108,000,000,000,000,000,000 kwh of energy every second!

when i say hydrogen i mean what is actually deuterium, but when you say hydrogen you mean what? a single proton?

My chemistry is pretty good but havent used it a lot lately. i think i am mistaken. deuterium is 1 proton, 1 neutron and no electrons, is that right?
and hydrogen has no neutrons?
if that where the case and you needed 4 hydrogens for the fission of one helium, where would the protons come from.
got any good links to this kinda of stuff (fission/fusion, antimatter that sort of thing)

The most common universal product of fusion is actually iron.
