Say, if we did have a way of producing antimatter cheaply, and in usable quantities (I don’t know how…maybe if we stuck a Wizard or an Elf in a food processor), how would you go about making a power planet fueled by it? Just a standard steam “boiler,” the furnace of which gets a few molecules of matter/antimatter reacting per second, or would it have to be something “exotic”?

The energy produced from an AM-M annihaliation would be primarily very high energy gamma rays. How you would harness it… I imagine you would need a very good gamma absorber of some sort which would het up rather quickly due to the bombardment.
