What else can I help you with?
What would be the source of fuel required by a fusion reactor?
Deutrium and tritium are needed as fuel in fusion reactor.
What is the power source for fusion?
The most likely fuel for fusion on earth is a mixture of deuterium and tritium (both isotopes of hydrogen)
What is a star's main source of fuel?
A star's main source of fuel is nuclear fusion, specifically the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium in its core. This process releases vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat, which sustains the star's luminosity and temperature.
Which provides more energy per gram of fuel fission or fusion?
Fusion provides more energy per gram of fuel than fission. Fusion reactions release several times more energy compared to fission reactions, making fusion a more efficient and powerful energy source.
What is largest non-fossil fuel source in the world?
In that the world is composed of matter, that can neither be created , nor destroyed, matter related fuel would be the largest non-fuel source. To extract energy from matter requires nuclear fusion.
How stars grow old and die?
When stars "age", they spend their fuel source in a nuclear reaction (usually nuclear fusion).
What is the fuel that feeds stars?
The main fuel source for stars is hydrogen. Through the process of nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms are converted into helium atoms releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat. This fusion process is what powers the bright shining of stars.
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.
Which source of energy is used for fusion?
Nuclear fusion produces energy from the changes in the nuclear composition of the fuel, which is a mixture of deuterium and tritium. Essentially what happens is that some of the mass of the nuclei is destroyed and this releases energy
Is oxygen the fusion in the interior of the sun?
No, it is hydrogen that is the fuel for fusion in the sun
What is two advantages of using fusion as an energy source?
Two advantages of using fusion as an energy source are its abundant fuel supply (hydrogen isotopes) found in seawater and its low greenhouse gas emissions, making it a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Additionally, fusion reactions do not produce long-lived radioactive waste, minimizing environmental impact.
What type of energy is the sun's energy source?
hydrogen fusion
