Coal is directly dirty. Nuclear power is "clean" now but will be really dirty later (aka future generations will have to take care of that). Wind power regularly attracts the attention of conservationists because of the birds. Solar panels are clean, but what about manufacturing? Hydropower always requires dams, which partially submerge areas. The new…
I just calculated the binding energy and I can't get anywhere near 14.1 MeV. Why? Where does this energy come from?
What is a fusion bomb made of? Does it not contain uranium or plutonium?
Is the GQ GMC 300E plus or the GMC 320 plus Geiger counter better and what is the difference?
FYI: The €20 billion ITER project in France is under massive criticism. Non-conforming components, as well as cracks and problematic welds in the heat shield, will postpone all milestones originally scheduled for the next few years. The waiting time for the repairs will now be used to more rigorously test the other components. In the…
Can someone explain to me why these elements are used? Thank you
Because the Americans have already achieved success.
What do you think? Given the current successes in the US, will we have market-ready fusion generators by 2050, thus solving our energy problems? Would nuclear power plants be conceivable by then, which could then be "simply" converted by replacing the reactor core?
