Is the sun a nuclear fusion reactor?
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
Why would a fusion reactor that needs more energy than it produces not be much use?
A fusion reactor that needs more energy than it produces would not be economically viable or practical for power generation. The purpose of building a fusion reactor is to generate more energy than it consumes, in order to provide a sustainable and efficient source of power. If it cannot achieve this goal, it defeats the purpose of investing in fusion energy technology.
How much does a fusion reactor cost?
Currently, the estimated cost to build a fusion reactor ranges from several billion to tens of billions of dollars, depending on the specific design and scale of the project. It is a significant investment that requires long-term funding and collaboration between governments and private institutions.
What do scientist hope to achieve with the research on the Tokamak Fusion Reactor?
Scientists hope to achieve a sustainable and controllable fusion reaction that can generate abundant clean energy. The research on Tokamak Fusion Reactors aims to overcome the technical challenges of achieving self-sustaining fusion reactions and commercialize fusion power as a viable alternative energy source. Success in this research could help address global energy needs and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Why is it difficult to develop a fusion reactor for power generation?
Developing a fusion reactor for power generation is challenging due to the need to confine and control the extremely high temperatures and pressures required for nuclear fusion to occur. Additionally, managing the plasma within the reactor, handling the intense neutron radiation, and finding suitable materials that can withstand the harsh conditions present further obstacles. Research is ongoing to overcome these challenges and make fusion power a viable energy source.
Is the sun a nuclear fusion reactor?
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
How a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reactor?
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction
Which of planets is an immense fusion reactor in space?
The Sun is an immense fusion reactor in space. It generates energy through nuclear fusion reactions at its core, converting hydrogen into helium and releasing vast amounts of energy in the process.
What would be the source of fuel required by a fusion reactor?
Deutrium and tritium are needed as fuel in fusion reactor.
Is fusion controllable as fission is reactor?
no
Is a fusion reactor a time machine?
No
What is better solar energy fission reactor or fusion reactor?
solar is a billion times better.
How does nuclear fusion spin a turbine?
It can't as nobody has figured out how to make a fusion reactor.
What are the technical problems related to nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion requires very high temperatures and immense pressures to start and continue. The problems with a nuclear fusion reactor would be:- 1) the high temperatures would melt the container: therefore, the reaction would have to be stored in a vacuum suspended by a magnetic field and the reactor would have to be continually cooled. 2) nuclear fusion occurs naturally in stars such as our sun: unless the fusion reaction was limited in size in some way, it would be likely that our planet is vapourised by the reaction.
Is the Sun an immense fusion reactor in space?
yeah, exactly
Can you make a real ark reactor?
An Ark reactor as currently describe in comic is very much like a Nuclear Fuel Cell. Possibly convert energy from Nuclear reaction to power. Possibly a plasma nuclear fusion reactor. I believe in the future it could be made. See the link and compare the similarity of fusion reactor and Ark reactor.
Fusion reactor fuel used in future?
uranium-235 your welcome :)
