Fusion Energy closer than we thought?
There’s a saying among the scientists that ‘Fusion technology is always 30 years away’.
A recent breakthrough in US’ LLNL Lab, have excited all the generations of researchers and scientists.
What is Fusion Energy?
As the name suggests, it is mixing or combining things together so that something new is created.
Simple example - when 2 Hydrogen atoms are combined together they gives rise to Helium.
This creation releases unfathomable amounts of energy. Biggest example is our own Sun. Its a product of fusion energy. All stars are. 🌞
So why is this important?
It requires energy to create the conditions which are nearly impossible to generate.
All the experiments have used more energy than they have generated, which makes the technology non-feasible.
But yesterday, for the first time, scientists were able to generate more energy than they used to create the conditions.
This is HUGE. ☀️
This can many problems in the future.
Am I hopeful? You bet I am. Star Trek bug in me is excited beyond limits. 🚀
I am so happy! :)
