How does nuclear fusion help the world?
We get most of our energy from the Sun; there, the energy is converted by nuclear fusion.On the other hand, technology is not yet ready to carry out nuclear fusion on our own, right here on Earth - except for some experiments.
How is nuclear fusion done?
Nuclear energy is produced by the release of heat from unstable elements such as Uranium. The energy is harnessed by using the energy to heat water. The radioactive water is than pumped through a heat exchanger where the 'dirty water' is used to heat 'clean' water. The clean water can then be used to drive turbines and other forms of engine.
How is nuclear energy and fusion energy different?
Nuclear energy as we use it now is from nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the joining up of nuclei rather than the splitting (fission), but it is not yet available on Earth.
How does nuclear fusion warm up the earth from the outside?
It affects earth because the high temperature of the sun causes radiation (visible light, infra-red, and ultra-violet rays) to be emitted and we receive some of this. The fusion reaction itself does not directly affect earth.
Has fusion energy been created?
Nuclear fusion was demonstrated on Earth in a particle accelerator called a cyclotron in the early 1930s, but no useful energy was produced. Fusion energy was also released during H-bomb testing by the US, USSR, UK, and France in the 1950's, but the resulting energy release was so brief that it could not be used as a practical source of energy.
Why is nuclear a form of energy?
Energy is released in nuclear fission and fusion, this is a fact of the physics of the nucleus. This energy can be captured and harnessed as thermal energy (heat)
Why is nuclear fusion important to life on earth?
Life on Earth gets its energy from the Sun, which produces the energy through nuclear fusion.
What energy can only be harnessed currently at a few shorelines on the Earth?
I guess you mean either wave or tidal energy
What is the relationship between geothermal power and geothermal energy?
geothermal energy is geothermal power harnessed from the Earth itself
How is fusion energy used?
It is not used on earth
What are ideal places for fission and fusion?
Fission takes place in nuclear reactors, which are useful to produce electricity. Fusion has not yet been harnessed on earth, so the only place it happens is in stars
Primary source of the suns energy is?
The primary source of the suns energy is nuclear fusion of hydrogen. Nuclear fusion occurs in the core of the Earth.
What are three alterative energy sources?
It is, like all things, what you perceive it to be (or not to be).
When was wind energy first harnessed?
wind was first harnessed in 3500 BC

What is solar energy harnessed for?
doggy
Where does most energy come from for life in earth?
Most energy comes from sun through the nuclear fusion energy.
