Einstein Mass Conversion Core

The Einstein Mass Conversion Core (EMC Core) converts mass directly to energy via Strong Nuclear Force Interuption, primarily in the forms of kinetic and thermal energy. The reactor emits a field that briefly interupts the functioning of the strong nuclear force, resulting in the sudden disolution of the protons and neutrons in atoms, but leaving electrons unaffected. 99.97% of the mass is converted to energy with the disolution of the protons and neutrons, with the remaining 0.03% of mass released in loose electrons. These EMC Cores power all modern spacecraft, due to the absolutely astonishing amount of energy that is required to accelerate 100,000 metric tons to 1% of the speed of light. Though it requires a huge amount of input energy to begin the reaction (often provided by nuclear fission), once going, the EMC Core can consume virtually any matter, creating energy in accordance with Einstein's e=mc².
