      Not accurate but a good analogy. 2+3 = 5 but because of fusion is 4.99999998 + one Neutron. The difference is converted into energy by E = MC^2 equation. That's the math bit.

  • @anneeq008

    What precisely is the material property of the resultant radiation? Is it a nuclear sludge as you would get with fusion? Or is it all atomic level radioactive waves in the air?
    How precisely is it dealt with?

    • @sdavidb9626
      @sdavidb9626 2 роки тому +8

      The process produces regular non-radioactive Helium, some neutron radiation (localized to the reactor), and a TON of photon radiation, aka light.
      It’s extremely clean. There might be hazardous materials near the reactor while it operates, like plasma, and neutron radiation, but those either cool down into gas, or are absorbed by materials in the reactor, I believe. I am not an expert on neutron radiation, but I don’t think it would produce sludge.

    • @MrChaoticDog
      @MrChaoticDog 2 роки тому +2

      I was doing some reading and I think there may be an issue with the Beryllium blanket around the tokamak ( being used as a neutron multiplier ) containing uranium atom impurities. Even though these impurities are low level, they contain fissile uranium, and when the neutrons bombard these atoms they can lead to radioactive products that are dangerous for a longer period of time.

    @howtostarupreactorfusion Рік тому +9

    Fusion is a nuclear reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come together to form a single, more massive nucleus. This process releases a significant amount of energy. Fusion is the process that powers the Sun and other stars, as hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium. Scientists are also exploring ways to harness fusion as a potential energy source on Earth, but it remains a complex and challenging process.

      Photons do not have rest mass or it's very neglible, we still can't confirm that with accuracy. However, it does have momentum. Einstein's total energy equation is E=(mc^2)^2 + pc^2. In case of photons since rest mass is zero the equation reduced to E=pc^2

    [0:41] "...this energy comes from a rather surprising place. It comes from the mass of particles that make up the sun." That statement and this entire video merely describes *what/where* this is happening, but not the true cause behind *WHY* it is happening: *Then God said, “Let there be lights* in the expanse of the heavens to separate day from night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years" [Gen 1 v14] "For since *the creation of the world* His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, *have been clearly seen,* being understood *through what has been made,* so that people are without excuse" [Rom 1 v20]

    Here I am again, nuclear fusion is binding them together. in fact to actually make this, you need anti-gravity known by own formula Mass = Nothing x 1 So when achive this, you take the helium atom and then En-Fuse it. Protein with Protein gets bigger. There yah go.

    I’m disappointed. While very well articulated, this vid and the author want to mislead or shine on the audience with regards to safety. Coincidentally doing the same as the pro fission crowd did, but I contend your tact is worse. Playing on a known fear of fission (radioactive waste) while glossing over the ramifications of neutronic fusion. Neutron radiation is as formidable a problem as byproducts of fission. Overall, bad form.

    Fusion energy is pie in the sky idea why not put the same R&D into designing nuclear reactors that give power of 4000MW by using enriched uranium to 60 percent and from that producing 9.6 percent plutonium for further fuel production. The moderator used will be graphite and heavy water its better to keep it simple from the above fewer reactors needed to be built . The D2O will come from greeen hydrogen production by electrolysis and plenty of oxygen produced as a by product. This fusion energy is a waste of time and money there's no such thing as something for nothing mentality.
