The birthchild of Isaac Arthur, the genius of futurism and
second only to Carl Sagan introduces the idea of
’Quasar drives’.
Small artificially created black holes can be used to harness
incredible amounts of energy.
Just by feeding a bit of mass nearby the black hole creates an
accretion disk that heats up and emits a massive amount of
energy and jets of highly charged matter.
Using controlled magnetic and electric fields, the energy discharge
can be focused to produce enough thrust to move the spacecraft
to reach nearby star systems quickly.
