A leading scientist has held out the possibility of small engines harnessing the forces at the heart of particle construction being suitable for personal transportation vehicles.

Speaking today at the biannual Advanced Scientists for Gaia Summit in Sacramento, California, Dr David Myers said that recent discoveries and technological advances in the field of particle physics held out the possibility of abundant low-cost energy for personal transportation, among other benefits.
“Across the globe, the overwhelming desire for personal transportation and minimising the energy expended in achieving that is one of the biggest challenges of our age,” he told delegates.
“Extensive evaluation of CP-violation in the physical universe has recently thrown up the curious – and totally unexpected – phenomenon of active anti-gravitons, or beta photons [photons with a slightly shorter half-life than pure photons]. When these photons were mixed with gravitons in a Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) we found that we had created the world’s first pure ‘cold’ anti-hydrogen atom.
“That’s actually a pretty major breakthrough. What follows the creation of such an atom is a series of small explosions occurring every nanosecond that occur naturally to restore the balance between matter and antimatter absolute energy coefficients in the universe. It’s very close to discovering a perpetually available energy source.

By GlobalData“Unfortunately, the energy diffusion parameters dictated by the Dirac equation make the explosions way too small for, say, large-scale power generation. The forces involved simply cannot be scaled up or aggregated beyond a certain threshold due to the subatomic constructions present. Negative energy antiproton feedbacks accelerate and become too great.
“But our initial findings suggest that the cold anti-hydrogen atom reaction could, theoretically, provide sufficient blast energy to power small kinetic movement engines – perhaps for application in standalone vehicles.”
When might such a photon-powered engine for a car be realisable? Perhaps sooner than you think.
“Substantial resources are being poured into this research,” beamed Myers.
“We couldn’t talk about it before, but we figured now – just ahead of the presidential election – was a good time to go public with this research.
“The progress we are making is phenomenal. We already have a clock powered by a miniature LEAR that utilises the energy released in the photon-graviton reaction.
“In the case of vehicles, you could conceivably have a small combustion chamber allied to the LEAR mechanism which could be cylindrical even, the energy released from the generated explosions driving pistons.
“The photons could even be introduced to the LEAR via a neutral gas that acts as a transforming agent. It might be a case of simply filling up a fuel storage tank, much as now.
“Better and more robust LEARs are just around the corner and we’re moving very fast. The objective is to have a LEAR-powered personal transportation concept vehicle by 2020. A dedicated team of around one thousand engineers is working on it, funded by a mixture of government resources, with support from a number of technology and energy companies. This is serious.”
One delegate in Sacramento, Simon King from the Queen’s Organisation for Atomic Research (QOAR) in Bromsgrove, England, appeared unimpressed. “It sounds seductive, but the costs involved here are very, very high. Low Energy Antiproton Rings cannot be mass-manufactured using existing technologies. You also need precious metals for the accelerator – not cheap. That so-called miniature LEAR is the size of my bedroom. And, by the way, you can power a digital clock from a potato.
“It’s more than a little bit pie in the sky, but Dr Myers is building a very nice research budget on the back of the political imperative to wean ourselves off oil. Hats off to him. Nice work and I wish him and his team all the luck in the world.”
