Okay, but ultimately the purity in this sense does not matter. Because
pro= ton annihilates
antiproton and not antineutron, at some point the atom would have to be
sep= arated, unless
you annihilate them together. The physics I use would make the situation f= ar more
complicated than the situation would warrant, but your rubber science may
b= e different.
Anyway, if you separate out the antineutron, controlling it would be more
d= ifficult since it
does not respond to electromagnetic fields. This would add complexion to
t= he system.
Although deuterium is denser, it is not as common as hydrogen. The way I u= se this,
hydrogen is the better choice since it can be more readily acquired.
>Anyone know HOW deuterium currently is separated out?
My best guess would be a spectrometer (if that is the name), although I'm n= ot
sure if it would work for a gas. Basically, you ionize it and fire it past=
a magnet.
Hydrogen, being ligher, would deflect more than the heavier deuterium, and = this
would separate the two. I'd imagine that Trek would feature something a bi= t more
high-tech, but the idea would be the same.
