What else can I help you with?
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.
Can you use the energy produced by nuclear fusion for something?
Sure, you can get a tan from it, since the Sun is a big fusion power reactor. In the near future we will be able to build fusion reactors here on Earth. Google "ITER" to see how it's going. In the meantime I suppose you can say the fusion power is actually solar energy.
How is nuclear energy and fusion energy different?
Nuclear energy typically refers to fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion energy involves merging atoms to release energy, mimicking the process that powers the sun. Fusion has the potential to generate more energy and produce less waste compared to fission.
3 advantages nuclear fusion has over nuclear fission?
The binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) released is much greater when fusion occurs than when fission occurs. As an example, that is why fission bombs typically have yields around 100 to 500 kilotons of equivalent TNT, while fusion bombs typically have yields in the 25 to 50 megaton range. The problem is that fusion requires a lot of energy to initiate - in fact, most fusion bombs use a fission bomb to set them off.
Why dont we use nuclear fusion in nuclear power plants?
Because no one has been able to produce a continuous fusion reaction so far.
Which process does the Sun use to produce energy?
The conversion of Hydrogen into Helium (nuclear fusion).
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.
Hydrogen bombs and stars both produce energy with nuclear?
fusion reactions, where lighter elements combine to release tremendous amounts of energy. In stars, the fusion of hydrogen into helium powers their luminosity and heat. Hydrogen bombs use isotopes of hydrogen to trigger a controlled fusion reaction, releasing a massive amount of explosive energy.
How will scientists convert fusion to electricity?
Scientists will use the heat generated from nuclear fusion to produce steam, which will drive turbines connected to a generator to produce electricity. This process is similar to conventional power plants, but instead of burning fuels, fusion reactors will use the energy released from fusing atomic nuclei. Advanced technologies are being developed to efficiently capture and convert the energy from fusion reactions into electricity.
How is the nuclear energy in use different from fusion energy?
Because it is a fission process, not fusion

How is the nuclear energy now in use different from fusion energy?
Because it is a fission process, not fusion

Can humans use fusion?
We can certainly reproduce and make fusion happen but not at the rate required to produce enough energy to make the process viable for our energy needs, it is estimated it will take around 20-30 years to refine our fusion method to a point where we can output a large amount of energy from it.
What are the names of the elements used to create the light in a star?
Hydrogen and helium are the main elements used to create light in stars through the process of nuclear fusion in their cores. These elements undergo fusion reactions to produce energy, which is emitted as light and heat.
How does nuclear energy relate to the sun?
We derive electromagnetic energy from the nuclear fusion reactions on the sun. We also apply nuclear energy (fission) on earth to generate lots of thermal energy, which we use in a steam cycle to generate lots of electric power.
Who produces or use energy?
all living thing produce energy and use de same energy they produce
