Benefits
of Nuclear Fusion
- There are a
lot of benefits to nuclear fusion that most people don’t know about. More
people would probably become physicists and nuclear engineers had they known
this will probably become the future of energy production. I myself am not
going into it because of my physical position ‘x’ on the planet Earth. Nuclear fusion
is very controlled in all places of the universe; it has no other option. If a
required condition is missing, high pressure, high temperature, and high
density of atoms the nuclear fusion process will not take place. There would be
no out of control reactions like there is with nuclear fission. In a nuclear
fission reaction Uranium continues to decay even though it is in a controlled
environment, it cannot be stopped. There is an abundant supply of this type of
energy on the Earth. There is no creation of materials that may be used in a nuclear
bomb. It could lead to economic growth as well as a sustainable and reliable
electricity supply.
- You can see some videos of nuclear
fusion reactions (which has everything to do with
physics) in a Tokamak Reactor by clicking on these

This
video shows them not actually doing a nuclear fusion reaction, but it does show
them trying to sustain very high temperatures within the magnetic wall, they
are creating plasma, which is what the sun is on the outer lair. It is very
high temperature gaseous substances.

- Thank you for reading my web page. As
you sit there and the Earth respectively sits on you, fire those neurons in
your brain and think about how the physics behind nuclear fusion make it
possible. Nuclear fusion produces the most amount of energy out of all usable
types of power, remember the change in energy S nuclear fusion reactions on the
sun is ΔE=26.7 MeV.
