Black Hole Injector | 2025 |

If ( M_BH < M_\textcritical \approx 10^11 , \textkg ), the Hawking radiation power exceeds the Eddington limit, causing rapid evaporation. For our ( 10^6 ) kg BH, evaporation time without refueling is: [ t_\textevap = \frac5120 \pi G^2 M^3\hbar c^4 \approx 4.5 \times 10^7 , \texts , (\approx 1.4 , \textyears) ] Thus, continuous fuel injection is mandatory. A feedback loop adjusts injection rate to maintain ( \dotM \approx 0 ). Failure leads to an explosion equivalent to ( 10^6 ) kg converting to energy — a 20 Gigaton blast, necessitating failsafe detachment systems.

Chemical and nuclear propulsion are fundamentally limited by their exhaust velocity ( ( \sim 500 , s) to ( \sim 10^6 , s) for ion drives). Antimatter provides the highest energy density ((9 \times 10^16 , J/kg)) but suffers from catastrophic storage issues. The Black Hole Injector (BHI) offers an alternative: a self-regulating black hole that converts infalling matter into radiation with an efficiency ( \eta ) exceeding nuclear fusion by two orders of magnitude. black hole injector

A linear accelerator (1 TeV) injects protons tangentially into the ergosphere. The injector uses a pulsed neutron beam to avoid Coulomb repulsion. Injection rate ( \dotm ) is tuned such that the BH’s mass remains constant: [ \dotM \textBH = \dotm \textin - \fracP_H + P_\textjetc^2 = 0 ]

A naked singularity is impossible (cosmic censorship). Thus, the BH must be isolated. We propose a magnetic mirror trap (modified Penning trap) using superconducting coils generating 100 T fields, located 1 km from the BH to avoid spaghettification. The BH is levitated via the Meissner-like effect against a superconducting stator.
