Can fusion reaction be controlled and use for generating energy ?

Answer 1

Oh heck yes. I do it all the time.

Answer 2

Hey folks,

I just happen to know that the power monopoly of a G8 nation has recently invested millions in a small company in California that have created a self-limiting magnetic bottle in which to contain the hot plasma of a fusion reaction. You are correct that it is probably 10 years from first production and 20 from mass production, but I think it is the real deal this time!

Their process is scalable and does not use radio-active fuel. I think you will be hearing a lot about this company in the next few years.

Answer 3

Lol, with sufficiently advanced Technology lmfao. Now that's a very scientific answer. The materials needed for fusion reaction are extremely expensive, and it is the least reliable form of energy.

Answer 4

Looks a good possibility and bullions are being spent on the research. The theory sound right, it just needs to be shown to work.

Basically pollution free, extremely cheap power using a few drops of water seems a utopian idea but one that appears practicle.

Don't expect it in the near future though. Research will take years yet and the research tools have taken years to build and that is for a tiny experimental model. When it has been proved to work it will take many years and many bullions of pounds/dollars to develop the first and subsequent power stations.

It would be interesting to hear Professor Hawkings thoughts on this. I hope he picks this question up.

Answer 5

The fusion process runs away too fast and is too difficult to initiate and manipulate at this time. With sufficiently advacned technology, it's entirely concievable, though. It would basicly be a limitless supply of incredibly cheap energy.

Answer 6

fusion reaction take place at high degrees. so, mostly this reaction take place at stars.suppose it is sucesses in making this reation in the laboratory there are some drawbacks like the efficiency of getting the energy will be less and in oder to get this less energy we have to spend large some.it is quite dangers too. so it might not be possible.but by nature star produce huge amount of energy. in future energy might be traped from the stars.

Answer 7

At this moment fusion reaction are not controlled.
Follow the news about ITER.

Answer 8

If you can maintain the 4 billion Celsius required and generate a magnetic field strong enough to contain it.

This is now being (almost) done in devices called Tokamaks. Look it up.

Answer 9

You will needthese two things

1. A temp. of 15 million deg. F
2. Extremely strong magnetic fields.

Answer 10

Not now, but a lot of work is being done to accomplish this. The problems are formidable, however, and there is no good reason to expect success anytime soon.

Answer 11

even if nuclear means can furnish for the means needs of the destiny, even though it isn't a "eco-friendly" means. The social fee all of us ought to pay in the destiny outweighs the advantages of nuclear flowers / nuclear means, taking the teachings from our previous thoughts with nuclear plant international. although, extra R&D should be channeled into aspects of wind, photo voltaic, & water means era. the foremost word the following is option "eco-friendly" means. after all, we in ordinary words have a million earth and that is sparkling to each and absolutely everyone that polluting it extra may in ordinary words outcome in killing ourselves and our destiny generations. in ordinary words "eco-friendly" means guarantees our & destiny generations' persevered existence in this one and in ordinary words homestead we've; Earth. As in all advancements, initial progression expenses are severe yet as we boost and bypass in route of "eco-friendly" means, there is perpetually a tipping element the position "eco-friendly" means turns into economically potential means. besides, how can human variety commerce-off the fee of coming up sparkling means adversarial to the prevalent truth of organic unfavorable environmental outcomes of nuclear flowers ? There ought to not be a interest of coming up extra nuclear means flowers in any respect, in the face of truth of the unfavorable outcomes to the ambience. "eco-friendly" and sparkling means should be pursued because the destiny means answer for the destiny.
