How is fusion one of your sources of energy?
Right now, except for the Sun, fusion is not a viable source of energy. We do not expect commercial production from fusion energy for another 50 to 100 years, if then. The technological obstacles are presently insurmountable, primarily due to problems with containment, but we are working on them.
What are 3 characteristics of nuclear fusion?
High energy output: Nuclear fusion releases large amounts of energy compared to other power sources. Minimal waste: Fusion reactions produce very little radioactive waste compared to nuclear fission reactions. Fuel availability: Fusion fuel sources such as deuterium and lithium are abundant in nature, making fusion a potentially sustainable energy source.
Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
The energy required to melt one gram of a substance is known as what?
The energy required to melt one gram of a substance is known as the heat of fusion.
What is the benefit of nuclear fusion and What is one thing nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common?
The benefit of nuclear fusion is its potential to provide a virtually limitless and clean energy source with minimal environmental impact. One thing nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common is that they both involve the release of energy by altering the nuclei of atoms, although through different processes.

What is the energy density of fusion fuels and how does it compare to other energy sources?
The energy density of fusion fuels is very high, meaning they can produce a lot of energy in a small amount of fuel. Fusion fuels have a much higher energy density compared to other energy sources like fossil fuels and even nuclear fission. This makes fusion a promising and efficient source of energy for the future.

What are five alternative energy sources?

What are the different types of non-renewable energy?
- Fossil fuel energy sources (coal-natural gas - petroleum - wood) - Nuclear energy sources (fission - fusion). Nuclear energy may be considered as renewable energy source.
Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
Which two energy sources can help a star maintain its internal thermal pressure?
Nuclear fusion and radiation pressure are the two energy sources that help a star maintain its internal thermal pressure. Nuclear fusion in the star's core generates heat and energy, while radiation pressure from the intense photons produced by fusion counteracts the gravitational forces trying to collapse the star.
The energy required to melt one gram of a substance is known as what?
The energy required to melt one gram of a substance is known as the heat of fusion.
What are two common sources of nuclear energy?
Two common sources of nuclear energy are nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy, and nuclear fusion, where atoms are combined to release energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to generate electricity, while nuclear fusion is a process being researched as a potential future source of clean energy.
What can we do for our future energy source?
We can develop technology to use energy sources that are readily available, such as solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, etc.; and perhaps, eventually, nuclear fusion.
Is atomic energy a non conventional energy?
Yes, atomic energy is considered a non-conventional source of energy. It is derived from nuclear reactions, specifically fission or fusion processes, and is different from conventional sources like fossil fuels or renewable energy sources.
What is the source of light energy?
The source of light energy is typically the sun, which emits light through a process called nuclear fusion in its core. Other sources of light energy include artificial sources such as light bulbs and fire.
