The futuristic antimatter engines can collect positrons or antiprotons from the cosmic radiation.
There is one thing, that might make poles interesting, if we want to make the space plane, what uses antimatter booster as the "spice" in the jet or rocket engines. The antiprotons or anti-electrons can be captured easily near the poles, simply by making the high flying aircraft, which pulls the particles of cosmic radiation to the chamber through the leaf gold. And the reason why poles are a better place for capturing those particles is that the type of antimatter more homogeneous than in other places.
The plus pole would eliminate the proton-radiation, and it would pull the electrons near the earth, and the minus pole would pull the proton or plus ions near the earth. So if somebody wants to make the space plane that uses positrons as the booster that antimatter must produce in the particle accelerators or collect from nature. If antimatter is created by using a particle accelerator, it must carry to the vehicle by using a magnetic bottle. The magnetic field denies the antimatter to touch the wall of the bottle, and that thing would cause danger.
If positrons or antiprotons would inject in the rocket engine. That increases the temperature of the fire in the engine, and the power of the engine will be increase. So if those antimatter particles can collect from nature, that system can be cheaper. And if the antimatter particles are coming closer to earth, that thing would make the needed power of the magnets lower. In this case, the high-flying aircraft can fly very high altitudes near the poles of Earth, and collect the antimatter in the special chamber, where it can be injected into the rocket engine.
Interplanetary space shuttle
Sometimes is introduced to the idea that the small-size interplanetary spacecraft can use antimatter engines, which are loading antimatter from the Van Allen belt. In Van Allen belt is a large number of the very high energic electrons. That kind of interplanetary shuttle can jump to the Van Allen belt, and then pull the electrons thought the gold leaf. That thing can load the stores of antimatter, and then the system can travel to other planets. If we are thinking about this kind of antimatter engine and spacecraft the ability to load the antimatter from the plasma rings of planets is making those futuristic shuttles extremely multipurpose tools.
The interplanetary shuttle can collect normal matter from the atmosphere of the gas giants and other planets, and the antimatter from their plasma rings. The thing is that this kind of shuttles could look like conventional aircraft, which has the leaf gold in the place of the air intake, and then those crafts can collect antimatter by pulling the electrons through that layer. The thing that would increase the impact speed and possibility to transform the spin of the electrons is to fly the craft opposite direction of the orbiting direction of plasma or electrons.
This kind of technology can be the key to make the most devastating weapon on earth. That thing is called the "Teller bomb" or antimatter bomb. In this case, the antimatter would pull in the small chamber, which might be the size of a cigarette. Then the aircraft would just drop that weapon to the target.
