An anti-matter generator would have to be able to take a photon of energy and slow it down, forcing it to split into particle of matter and anti-matter, then have a way to collect the antimatter.

Although antimatter is theoretically usefull as a propelent, it's a bear to contain.

So... a better way might be to have a way to store massive amounts of nutrons, and then have a way to energize them to kick out a positron, leaving behind an anti-proton. The positron would go into obit around the anti-proton, thus creating anti-hydrogen.

Have on hand a supply or normal hydrogen, and slam the newly created anti-hydrogen into the ydrogen to create the energy for your propulsion system.
