in neclear fusion, two hydrogen nuclei combine to create a helium, which has slightly less mass than the two hydrogen nuclei. The lost mass is converted to energy.

Why can't we use Hydrogen in a Fusion Reactor to genarate our electricity?

With current technology we cannot produce a sustained fusion reaction and the experimental fusion reactors we do have use more energy than they generate.


What is the current practical application of fusion?

The only current application of fusion is in fusion-type nuclear weapons. We cannot control fusion to use it in power sources, so we are limited to just a single use or application.


What type of energy is the sun's energy source?

hydrogen fusion


Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?

Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy


How does fusion make energy and what are the implications for future energy production?

Fusion is a process where two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This energy is what powers the sun and stars. In the future, if we can harness fusion on Earth, it could provide a nearly limitless and clean source of energy, with minimal environmental impact compared to current energy sources like fossil fuels. However, there are still technical challenges to overcome before fusion can be a practical energy source on a large scale.


How does the nuclear fusion generate energy?

The Sun energy is from hydrogen fusion.


What are two types of nuclear energy?

Two types of nuclear energy are fission and fusion. Fission is the splitting of atoms to release energy, used in current nuclear power plants. Fusion is the merging of atoms to release energy, a process being researched for its potential as a cleaner and safer form of nuclear energy.


When was Fusion Energy Foundation created?

Fusion Energy Foundation was created in 1974.


When did Fusion Energy Foundation end?

Fusion Energy Foundation ended in 1986.


How is the nuclear energy in use different from fusion energy?

Because it is a fission process, not fusion


Fusion is the ultimate solution to your energy problem why?

Fusion releases a lot amount of energy, much more than the traditional methods of obtaining energy, most of which are polluting and non-renewable. Thus, fusion is the ultimate solution to our energy problem. A2: If fusion can be made to work, it will use deuterium (heavy water) which can be extracted from natural water and therefore is an almost inexhaustible source.


What is the percentage of current nuclear power plants that use nuclear fusion energy?

Zero, and it will stay zero for many years to come!
