| Aug 26, 2019 at 22:20 | comment | added | Paŭlo Ebermann | The way of stopping the evaporation of a black hole is to use perfect mirrors around it to send all the Hawking radiation back into it. You'll need gamma-ray mirrors, though, which currently don't exist. | |
| Aug 26, 2019 at 20:41 | comment | added | Demigan | @Ellesedil it is a bit strange as we expect a black hole to be perfectly capable of feeding by just tossing stuff at it. Preventing it from feeding seems a more daunting task at first glance. | |
| Aug 26, 2019 at 19:32 | comment | added | Ellesedil | It's not that strange of a title. In Star Trek, the Romulans power their capital ships with artificial black holes. However, I'm not sure of the science/technobabble that explains how they work, and it's unlikely that information would mesh well with current scientific knowledge anyway since the show is over 25 years old. | |

| Aug 26, 2019 at 6:57 | comment | added | FlyingLemmingSoup | The way I see it, a miniature black hole could probably only be created by a civilization already working with Dyson-sphere levels of energy, as that's about what you'd need to create one. As such, using a black hole as a power source is less about GENERATING power so much as STORING it. You've built a Dyson sphere/swarm already, now you need something to do with all that excess energy, so you mass-produce black holes and use them to power sublight generational ships to other stars or something else that requires a ridiculous amount of portable energy. | |
| Aug 26, 2019 at 6:55 | comment | added | Demigan | @LoganR.Kearsley thanks, although they didn't have the answer as well it is very enlightening (as far as such math and subjects go). I don't expect it but maaaaybe someone has the answer to feeding sub-molecular Schwartzchild radius Black Holes now...? | |
