Chapter sixteen is a new scientist of energies released simultaneous array in motion without square of pressure and in safety. Here estimate that
one kilogram of fusion fuel can provide the same amount of energy as 10 million
kilograms of fossil fuel.
Self-sustaining nuclear fusion may be one step closer to reality after scientists in the U.S. have, for the first time, created more fusion energy than fuel for the process consumed. Fusion is the process that heats the Sun and all other stars. It occurs when atomic nuclei collide together and release energy in the form of neutron.
Fusion scientists and engineers are developing the technology to use this process in tomorrow's power stations. Scientists estimate that one kilogram of fusion fuel can provide the same amount of energy as 10 million kilograms of fossil fuel. But up until now, the main problem has been that nuclear fusion experiments always required more energy than they were able to create. As oil has lead research according to the researchers at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Livermore in California have now been able to shift that balance over to fusion.

have, for the first time, created more fusion energy than that consumed by the
fuel to drive the process. Nuclear fusion, the same process that the sun uses
to create energy, could provide the world with much-needed cheap energy.
Its a step closer to living in a world with endless energy resources as perfecting sustained energy source has interchanges? Scientists make nuclear fusion break even for the first time. More fusion energy as they produced than used by the fuel to drive this process Research could lead to self-sustaining nuclear fusion and cheaper energy. Scientists estimate that one kilogram of fusion fuel can provide the same amount of energy as 10 million kilograms of fossil fuel.192 of the world’s most powerful lasers, the NIF heated a small pellet of hydrogen to millions of degrees.

consumed. Using 192 of the world's most powerful lasers, the NIF heated a small pellet of hydrogen to millions of degrees. Researchers have been working towards this kind of breakthrough since the facility began construction in 1997.The facility is the brainchild of the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration. It holds a 130 tonne target chamber where the neutrons are fired by the 192 lasers stimulate the fusion reaction.
The holes in the chamber, which is 10 metres in diameter and covered in 30 cm thick concrete, permits the 192 laser beams to enter the chamber. The temperatures inside the chamber are more than 100 million degrees and create pressures more than 100 billion times Earth's atmospheric pressures. The temperatures inside the chamber are more than 100 million degrees and create pressures more than 100 billion times Earth's atmospheric pressure.
