what would be the cost & how long will it take to duplicate the sun's process for energy relief?

Question

The ability to derive the BIG BANG from evidence 14.7 billion years old & one twelve trillioneth of a second in duration & marble sized cosmic flash , can with proper funding be used to study existing evidience 24/7 almost in our back door[sun] & duplicate the process in say 2 years and release us from the elevated energy cost?

Answer 1

The old professor says: After having taken a course on such a topic at the Oak Ridge Associated Universities some years ago, we were told that at the present rate of research - most of which was being done at Princeton and Lawrence Livermore - a sustained fusion reaction should be possible by 2020. Models of the toroid chamber and linear chamber are being built, but the problems are 1. the inner chamber has to have temps high enough to produce plasmas and 2. the outer chamber must have temps low enough to support the supermagnetism required to keep the plasma from touching the chamber's surface. At present, short fusion bursts are possible, but the energy release is much less than the energy input.

The theories are intact and ready to be put into use, but the engineering technology has yet to reach the level required for a sustained fusion container. The nice thing about fusion reactors is that if an accident should occur, the fusion quickly terminates and no radioactive materials are released. Also, the fuel to provide the fusion is cheap! Cost to do this work would no doubt be approaching a billion in today's dollars. That includes what has already been done and what has yet to be done.

Answer 2

Dear God! you want to duplicate the sun?!?! ummmm where do plan on duplicating it? and do you think that being in constant daylight on earth would be a good idea? Not to mention the gravitational feild that would probably rip the planet to shreds or spin us in to a orbit that either freezes the planet cold like a giant ice ball or burns it up like Mercury or the radiations just kills us all. Either way no life will exist.

Now if your talking about the energy it produces, well I'm guessing you don't know how big the sun is compared to little Earth. Thats one big nuclear reactor in space.

so to your question, it's not even remotly possible!

Answer 3

Nope, sorry. You need about 13 times as much matter as there is in Jupiter to make a sun. We can't make a star. We already have one though, so there's no point. The Sun is powered by nuclear fusion - we have nuclear reactors on Earth powering many countries, including the US.

Answer 4

If you're talking the same energy source as the sun it's called fusion. We've been working on it for around forty years and are probably only half way to success having spent billions on it.

Answer 5

we could have a sun powering our homes in maybe in 10-15 years. but we need to control the fusion reactions or the results could be catastrophic

Answer 6

When is the time for your next fix? This one was a doozy. I've always wanted my own sun.
