You only get energy when you combine it with oxygen (most usually), by burning in one way or another. Beware, many ways of producing hydrogen consume more energy than that.

What are the products of nuclear fusion in a hydrogen bomb?

The nuclear fusion uses Hydrogen to produce Helium. The fusion also releases a lot of energy, which is what causes the explosion.


What element is transformed in solar fusion?

Our sun mostly transforms hydrogen nuclei into helium by fusion, but it also fuses helium with helium, lithium with hydrogen, and beryllium with hydrogen, to make elements as heavy as boron.


How many photons does it take to make 1 atom of hydrogen?

Hydrogen is not composed of photons. Photons are particles of light. 1 atom of Hydrogen is composed of one proton (and sometimes a neutron) and one electron.


What causes hydrogen fusion to release so much energy?

AnswerIf you mean in the sun, then the answer is: A nuclear cycle, now known as the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycle, in which hydrogen nuclei could be burned using carbon as a catalyst.If you mean in hydrogen bombs, then the answer is:Energy released in the primary stage is transferred to the secondary (or fusion) stage. The exact mechanism whereby this happens is unknown. This energy compresses the fusion fuel and sparkplug; the compressed sparkplug becomes critical and undergoes a fission chain reaction, further heating the compressed fusion fuel to a high enough temperature to induce fusion, and also supplying neutrons that react with lithium to create tritium for fusion. Generally, increasing the kinetic energy of gas molecules contained in a limited volume will increase both temperature and pressure.AnswerHydrogen fusion releases so much energy because there is so much energy available. When two hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium nucleus, the total energy in the helium nucleus (E=MC2) is less than the total energy in two hydrogen nuclei. The difference is the amount of energy released in the fusion reaction.


Can heavy water be an energy source?

Heavy water is defined as water made with either Deuterium (Hydrogen with 1 neutron) or Tritium (Hydrogen with 2 neutrons). Deuterium is stable. Tritium is radioactive, but is of very low energy. However, it has been used successfully to make things like EXIT lights glow. There is no particular potential energy gradient that could be utilized between "normal" water and "heavy" water. Deuterium or Tritium may eventually be used in Nuclear Fusion. Fusion Bombs (Hydrogen Bombs) have been made for decades. However, it has been a daunting task to control the nuclear fusion to produce usable energy. There is ongoing research with building Nuclear Fusion Powerplants, especially in the European Union.
