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. black hole injector

The Black Hole Injector: A Theoretical Framework for Mass-Energy Conversion and Ultra-Relativistic Propulsion We propose a magnetic mirror trap (modified Penning

This paper proposes a novel propulsion concept, the Black Hole Injector (BHI), which utilizes a primordial or artificially generated microscopic black hole (BH) as a catalyst for complete mass-to-energy conversion. Unlike conventional matter-antimatter engines, the BHI operates by injecting baryonic matter into a stable, electrically charged, rotating black hole (Kerr-Newman metric). Through Hawking radiation and superradiant scattering, the BH re-emits up to ~40% of the injected rest mass as directed high-energy gamma rays and relativistic plasma jets. We derive the thermodynamic limits, stability criteria (the "sphericity constraint" to avoid runaway evaporation), and a theoretical specific impulse (I_sp > 10^7 , s). The BHI circumvents the antimatter storage problem by using ordinary hydrogen as fuel. We conclude with a feasibility analysis of containment using nested magnetic and gravitational shields.

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 ]

The emitted Hawking radiation (predominantly gamma rays at ( T \sim 10^11 , K ) for ( M = 10^6 ) kg) is absorbed by a tungsten-lithium heat exchanger, driving a closed-cycle Brayton turbine. The relativistic jets (from superradiance) are collimated by external magnetic nozzles to produce thrust.

Note: The thrust exceeds a Saturn V by a factor of 5 while using 10 million times less fuel mass.
