No, you can't. Particle accelerators make anti-matter. And they do so extremely inefficiently. This is not an energy source: it's at best, a conversion or storage system. Making anti-matter is an inefficient, energy losing process, it is not a fuel source. And the storage sucks: the longest anti-matter confinement time is 405 days in a Penning trap and we've only done so for amounts measured in total count of atoms, in the thousands. Not even micrograms.[1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter |

It's as much an energy source as anything. You would also spend more energy than you got out if you tried to mine coal in your backyard.
