OOC: Well, I've discussed the matter with some other people, and we've come up with a few things to make this tech feasible. One of the main improvements is colliding a larger mass such that the size of the singularities produced are larger. (Somewhere in the mass range of 5 grams has been discussed) A process to achieve such masses would likely involve using a heavier element than used in most particle accelerators, along with say, tighter confinement of the particle streams in the collision area using magnetic systems similar to what's used to inject antimatter in to the AIF's fusion reactors. It is probably also reasonable to assume that there is at least some improvement in the efficiency of particle accelerators over present day examples, but alone that is probably not enough to work out with a net gain. Also, I'm curious as to the method Aneph uses for their black hole reactors.

Of course, if one wanted to delve in to the realm of handwaved technobabble, we could just say it works on a scaled up version of however slipspace drives create singularities to open slipspace ruptures. But I personally don't want to go there just yet...
