Propulsion System of an Interuniversal Ship: The Complete Picture

The article "Propulsion System of an Interuniversal Ship: The Complete Picture" is a technical supplement to the "Practical IDM" series. It examines four hypothetical variants of propulsion systems for interuniversal transitions: an annihilation reactor on antimatter (Option 1), a collapsar micro-generator on Hawking radiation (Option 2), a quantum accumulator on the Casimir effect (Option 3), and a gravitational resonance amplifier (Option 4). For each option, the mass and volume of all components are provided: fuel/charge, storage container, power plant, and transition unit. Total masses and volumes are calculated for a reserve of 3 transitions (there, back, emergency), including a backup unit for emergency return. For Option 1 (annihilation), the total ship mass is 342 t with a volume of 706 m³; for Option 2 (collapsar) — 770 t at 840 m³; for Option 3 (quantum) — 342 t at 739 m³; for Option 4 (gravitational) — 472 t at 1066 m³. Eight functions of the transition unit are formulated, including generation of resonant vacuum modulation, creation and maintenance of the breakthrough, measurement of local constants, and compensation for constant differences between universes. Task A (creation of missing components for existing concepts) and Task B (search for new physical laws allowing the use of already existing technologies) are introduced. The article is based on works on annihilation, Hawking radiation, the Casimir effect, and gravitational waves.
