The secret of solar energy: thermonuclear fusion

the radius of the sun has -million kilometers, is the radius of the Earth -times. So, in the depths of the sun, the pressure is huge, so that the matter atoms are very close to each other. In fact, the nuclei themselves are positively charged and repel each other, and this is where static electricity works. However, the distance between the naked nuclei is small to a certain extent, and the effect of static electricity between the nuclei is relegated to a secondary position, when the "nuclear force" between the naked nuclei plays a leading role, and the attraction between the nuclei is greater than the repulsion between them. What happens when the nucleus attracts each other?

In the ultra-high temperature, ultra-high pressure environment of the sun, the nucleus occurs "fusion" ("fusion") phenomenon, that is to say, two light nuclei merge into a heavy nucleus. In general, the newly generated heavy nuclei are not stable, and the positively charged protons are "awkward" with each other until the "positive charge" (the so-called "positron") in a proton is squeezed out to make it a "neutron". At this point, the newly created nucleus emits a strong electromagnetic radiation (energy), and the positron and negative electrons collide with each other, forming photons and leaving at high speed.

The "fusion" phenomenon of the naked nucleus, which is very learned (nuclear physics), is not few words able to speak clearly. However, the nuclear force between the nuclei is stronger than static electricity at close range, which is popular science knowledge. The sun is a great furnace for fusion, burning every second.6.2billion-dollar fuel. Each fusion reduces the fusion material0.7%quality, which embodies the physical law of mass changing energy.

nuclear fusion is more powerful than nuclear fission, for example: a hydrogen bomb is more powerful than an atom bomb. As you know, nuclear power plants use nuclear fission.(fission), rather than nuclear fusion (Fusion). Can humans use nuclear fusion to generate electricity? It's not going to work. According to calculations, burning a gram of fusion material per second can generate millions of kilowatts of power. Einstein's theory of relativity points out the theoretical basis of nuclear fusion, revealing the mystery of "solar power". In essence, solar power is the plane of power generated by fusion. Nuclear fusion is clean energy and does not produce pollutants (nuclear waste).

Description: It is said that the Sun Power 2 number Tomorrow ( 5 Month - fly away from Nanjing, ready to cross the gap between the typhoon, flew to Hawaii. Wish the pilot Bon Voyage!
