Fusion is still very experimental, but it is thought that it's vast energy output could be used for cheap, possibly perpetual nuclear electric power, spaceships, and nuclear weapons of mass destruction. It is possible that one could be installed in a factory, (in the future of course.) and not harm the workers. Progress is being made on a fusion reactor. In the 70's and 80's, you were lucky if you could sustain fusion for a few microseconds. Now, on average it's controlled for 3/10's of a second, so progress has been made. It may become a reality in this century, if more research is put into it. It uses two common gases to work, nothing fancy. Cold fusion is fusion that is generated at much lower temperatures, but has shown negative results, and it takes more energy to make and sustain that it puts out.

Which pair of nuclei can undergo a fusion reaction?

Hydrogen-2 (deuterium) and hydrogen-3 (tritium) nuclei can undergo fusion to form helium-4, releasing a neutron in the process. This fusion reaction is the basis for fusion energy production in potential future reactor designs.

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.


Is the production of heat by sun also combustion?

No, it uses fusion.


If an opponent uses a counter trap to destroy your Fusion Monster but you use De-Fusion after that which effect will happen first?

Since a Counter Trap is spell speed 3, and De-Fusion is spell speed 2, that situation can't arise. De-Fusion cannot be chained to any Counter Trap. That means the Counter Trap will resolve and destroy the Fusion Monster, before you get a chaince to use De-Fusion.


Do you think nuclear fusion is feasable and would you say MCF or ICF?

Yes, nuclear fusion is feasible as a potential source of clean energy. Both magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) and inertial confinement fusion (ICF) are promising approaches being researched to achieve practical fusion energy production, each with its own advantages and challenges. Continued advancements in these technologies have the potential to make fusion energy a reality in the future.


Does nuclear power plants uses nuclear fusion?

No, they rely on fission. Controlled fusion is the holy grail of nuclear power.


What is the difference a fission and fusion?

fission is the splitting of atoms of uranium or plutionium by the means of neutrons. fusion is the opposite. fusion is the violent combining of atoms through magnatism and heat. our own sun uses fusion to shine.
