21. An apparatus according to claim 13 wherein said source of microwave energy is transmitted between an earth orbiting satellites through a Satellite Digital Audio Radio Server that transmits circularly polarized microwaves to a receiving antenna located on said container so as to provide microwave energy to said microwave resonator.
13. An apparatus for the long-term storage of antimatter comprising: an evacuated, cryogenic container; a source of positrons and a source of electrons; a plurality of positrons and electrons provided by said source of positrons and said source of electrons so as to be in capture relation to one another within said evacuated, cryogenic container so as to allow for the formation of a plurality of positronium atoms; a source of microwave energy interconnected with said container; and a fabry-perot, microwave resonator located within said evacuated, cryogenic container forming a circularly polarized standing wave within which said plurality of positronium atoms rotate.
A long-term antimatter storage device that may be energized by a low power magnetron and can function autonomously for hundreds of hours on the energy provided by batteries. An evacuated, cryogenic container is arranged with a source of positrons and a source of electrons positioned in capture relation to one another within the container so as to allow for the formation of a plurality of positronium atoms. A microwave resonator is located within the container forming a circularly polarized standing wave within which the plurality of positronium atoms rotate. Radioactive sources for small stores and low energy positron accelerators for large stores are used to efficiently fill the device with positronium in seconds to minutes. The device may also be arranged to provide for the extraction of positrons. A method for storing antimatter is also provided.
The device of the present invention may be energized by a battery-operated magnetron or travelling wave tube, or by wireless transmission from a satellite. In addition, low energy positron accelerators may be used to efficiently fill the cavity in seconds to minutes.
In another embodiment, wireless powering of long-term antimatter storage device 1, via microwave transmission from satellites to other satellites, aircraft, motor vehicles or spacecraft may be utilized.

Please look up patent D580465. It's PROOF I tell you!
Proof that they are using the anti-matter containment unit to power this warp drive!!!!!

What we are looking at here - it seems to me - is a relatively cheap and easy method of creating the antimatter according to the description. The storage seems to be secondary.

Quaint idea on the storage of antimatter. However, I've always prefered to keep mine in my purse. I just drop it in and like everything else it sinks to the bottom, never to be found again. Security is fast, inexpensive and permanent.

It's describing how it will be filled, stored, and taken out of the device.
They'd probably acquire the positrons from radioactive sodium which is the "radioactive sources for small stores". Positrons are produced naturally, after all... and they'd be using particle accelerators to create bunches of anti-particles to fill the device with. By bunches, we're talking about 2 or 3 per collision.
Lol. Your earlier post on could have may have etc was brilliant.
Coming back to this post, it is my understanding that the products of collision cannot be stored, but instead they are picked up by detectors.
Q: Approximately how many positrons are needed for a trip to Mars and back, how much will the ILC produce in a year, and will we be able to boost production to the desired level?
A: Good question. 10 mg is equal to 1.1 x 1025 positrons. The ILC target numbers for production are in the 1015/sec range. So, it would take 1010 seconds to make 10 mg. Much too long. If the production rate can be increased by a factor of 100, it would take 108 seconds, or 3 years. I estimate the cost of production to be $250 million for 10 mg, after building a $1.5 billion accelerator system. This could all be done in 5-10 years.

Actually, the anti-protons & anti-neutrons in anti-matter are made of anti-quarks, not regular-matter quarks in different combinations. Anti-electrons (positrons) & electrons have no known constituent sub-particles. But all that's nit-picking. Just about all theories predict anti-matter will be affected by gravity in an identical way as ordinary matter.

No you don't understand.
The patent system doesn't work that way.
You can't patent a simple idea.
This is real world WORKING technology with real world application or the patent can be declared invalid.
This is not science fiction or "thinking ahead", this stuff is supposedly real and working as described.
