Particle/anti-particle pairings will annihilate creating a burst of fundamental particles and electromagnetic radiation. Visible light will be sparse, but upping the number of annihilations will create an actual visual display.
It is to the best of my intuitive spirits that the annihilation of these
particles could be controlled so that such events could occur anywhere of ones choosing within a sperical radius of around 50 feet. That is, impregnate the surrounding air so that annihilations can be observed anywhere in the room. With the proper control, a spherical shell with a matrix of particle ejectors and a diameter of 100 feet, a fully visible 3D image could burst out of thin air using the ejection of particle/anti-particle pairs at a rate of a few million per second. It is feasible but expensive.
Per te, [angel].

I think this Idea smacks of a distillation other than "intuitive spirits". |
|

And what sort of distillation may you be referring <Shoves water bong under the table>? |

Do we really need all this noise?
Suggest [marked-for-deletion]: bollocks (but I'd downgrade to 'bad science' if pressed). |

[angel], you must be testing me. In which case, I like it. BUT! I don't like those nasty little mfd letters on my post. I admit to a zealous ego, but don't we all. Listen, this is all very possible and factual, I'll list a few links and I'm sure other's can too. The thing is, [angel], its not bad science. |
|

I'm not testing you, I just think you're talking bollocks, and are quite possibly extremely drunk. |

If I were drunk would I be able to do this: |

If a particle/antiparticle pair comes in contact with each other, the two annihilate and produce a burst of energy, which may manifest itself in the form of other particles and antiparticles or electromagnetic radiation. In these reactions, rest mass is not conserved, although (as in any other reaction), mass-energy is conserved. |

I cannot press a skeptic for too long before the affair drains me of gumption. I understand the swisscheesyness of my idea, but it is cheese nonetheless. |

Capisco perfettamente, but if I were to say (also citing wikipedia.org) "A freely suspended magnet will eventually orient itself north-to-south, because of its attraction to the north and south magnetic poles of the earth, therefore this phenomenon can be used to protect us from weasels", I suspect that you'd pretty soon spot the flaw. |
|
| |
Cheese is good in context. |

Well, [P'a'v'e], Rome wasn't built in a barn before the eggs hatched. |

I'm missing something here. You want
to make a big cloud chamber and then
observe the tracks arising from particle/
antiparticle collisions. So?
What
exactly do you expect to image, other
than collisions?
And why,
particularly, 50 feet? |

Hmm.
Perhaps you could make it into a nifty 'annihilation' welder instead. With the controlled placement of the collisions within the spherical matrix of emitters, you could spot weld something with it. |
|
| |
Thereby obviating the need for one of
those high-tech expensive spot-
welding machines, then? |

[Basepair] For sure. It would sit next to the super-colliding stapler I saw in here once.

Speculation: 3D TV is eventually done with blue smoke and mirrors. |
|
| |
Why bother with the condensing gasses? Cloud chambers are not easy to operate, especially with particles annihilating all over the place. Just crank up the particle/anti-particle rate and get glowing images in the air. Then crank it way up and blow this idea away in a storm of radiation. |
|
| |
Maybe, someday, with lots of effort and money, this could be done as an art project by some drunken physicists. But when it happens, the news about it will be watched on 3D TVs based on something a lot simpler. Backwards cheese bubbles, perhaps. |

Ah - I was mislead by the word
"Imaging" in the title, and assumed this
was a system for looking at (ie imaging)
something. So, it's intended as a
projection system? IN that case, not so
bad but I'm still with Baconbrain on this
one. |
|

Edit: No cloud chamber involved. |
