Which fusion reaction could possibly result in fusion being a viable source of energy dt reaction dd reaction or protium reaction?

The first one to become successful in man made fusion will certainly be DT, but DD would be better if it could be made to work, as it would avoid the need to make tritium to feed as part of the fuel, and there are unlimited supplies of deuterium in the earth's waters. By "protium" I suppose you mean the proton-proton reaction as in the sun, this is impossible in man made fusion on earth, as it requires a huge volume and very high pressure as exists at the centre of the sun.


How could you do the fusion?

Fusion is a process that involves combining two or more elements to form a new, heavier element. In a controlled setting, such as a fusion reactor, fusion can occur at extremely high temperatures and pressures to generate energy. Currently, the most common fusion reaction being pursued is the combination of isotopes of hydrogen, like deuterium and tritium.


How is nuclear fusion controlled?

Up to now the problem has been how to get it started at all. If and when technology has developed a way of establishing fusion as a routine operation, there would be two ways of controlling the power level of the reaction: the amount of fuel being fed in could be regulated, and the magnetic field that constrains the plasma could be adjusted. The power could be rapidly shutdown by turning off the magnetic field, so I don't think there would be any risk of the reaction getting out of control.

What is the easiest fusion reaction to make?

The easiest fusion reaction to make is between deuterium and tritium, two isotopes of hydrogen. This reaction requires the least amount of energy to initiate and is being pursued for fusion energy research.

Is fusion an endothermic reaction?

It depends on what is being fused. Fusion usually takes place with elements lighter than iron, mostly hydrogen. in those cases it is exothermic. Fusin elements heavier than iron is endothermic.

What is the name given to something being investigated in an experiment?

The object being investigated in an experiment is typically called the "independent variable." It is the variable that is manipulated by the researcher to observe its effects on the "dependent variable," which is the outcome or response being measured.
