THE ARTIFICIAL SUN

 POLLUTION FREE ENERGY

Today, our day-to-day need is the Electricity. Where can we get electricity? We get Electricity from Thermal and Nuclear Power Plant. These Power Plants not only gives us Energy and also gives Pollution to Our Environment. But, If we have an Unlimited Energy source, We can get Energy easily and generate Electricity easily. That is Nuclear Fusion technology. How this technology helps in generating Electricity? Let's see about it. 

 THE PLASMA STATE:

Daily, we are seeing the Nuclear Fusion Reaction in the Sun's Core. We know only Three States of Matter which is Solid, Liquid and Gas. The forth State of Matter is Plasma. The Plasma State is present in Sun's Core that helps in the Nuclear Fusion Reaction. What is Plasma? The Tube Light in Our home contains an Inert Gas called Argon. Mercury also present as a small amount. If you turn on the switch, The Tungsten Filament present in the Tube Light burns, This separates the Positive and Negative Electrons of the Argon. This process is called Ionization.


If a Gas Ionizes, that Stage of the gas is called Plasma. The Argon Gas ionizes, It carries Electric Arc, This Electric Arc heats the Mercury and that Mercury releases UV Light. This UV Light is reflected in the Phosphorus Layer around the Bulb and blows in White Color. Generally, Gas didn't conduct Electricity. Because, It contains neutral Atom. If the Gas ionizes as Positive and Negative, It is called as Plasma. Why do we convert a Gas into Plasma? If we pass a Huge amount of Electricity or the Gas is Overheated it forms Plasma. The Lightning is also a Plasma. 

IN THE SUN's CORE: 

Due to the Nuclear Fusion Reaction takes place in the Sun, It also reacts as a Fuel. The Hydrogen atom fuses to form Helium. The mass of the Helium is less than Hydrogen. This is due to, The Fusion Reaction emits energy. But, It is not simple. For example, If you take two magnets, and join with same pole i.e., North to North or South to South, It repels right. Like this, Two Hydrogen atoms also repels. Because the Nucleus of two Hydrogen Atoms are Positively Charged. This didn't fuses easily. The Plasma forces the Hydrogen atoms fuse each other. The State of Plasma is in 10 Million degree Celsius.


In this temperature, The Sub-Atomic particles fuses each other. That speed overcomes the repulsion and helps in fusion of Atoms. Hydrogen fuses to form Helium and it is less than the mass of Hydrogen. The mass converts into energy. The heat energy reaches us. How the Sun is Stable? The Sun's Core every time experiences a Gravity towards it Because of its mass. It attracts Hydrogen atom and make it denser. The Atmospheric pressure of Sun is 260 Billion times greater than the Earth's Atmospheric pressure. So, the Core is more Stable. 

SUN's CORE ON EARTH:

In our Earth, Scientists researches artificial core with the temperature of 150 Million Degrees. It is 10 times greater than Sun's core temperature. A Nuclear Reactor with this temperature is in the process of construction. In JET, a research Laboratory at London, They passes 24Mw of Energy to Hydrogen to make it in the State of Plasma. This 150 Million degree Celsius is hold by which container? The container do not melts?



The Plasma is Positive and Negative ions. These ions definitely affected in the Magnetic Field. The Scientists makes a Donut shaped Toroidal Magnets. This helps the container to not affected by the temperature of Plasma. The Plasma is maintained in the confined State in which it didn't touch the container. This process is called MAGNETIC CONFINEMENT. The Scientists input 24Mw of Energy. But, the output Energy was only 16Mw of Energy. The Q value of this reaction is 0.67. When the Q value of a reaction is greater than 1, It is a Positive gain of Energy. The fusion was hold by only 400-500 seconds. This can't be hold by maximum time. Because, of its extreme temperature. 


THE CONCLUSION:

The Project ITCR, helps in the production of Electricity by Nuclear Fusion. In this project, The Input is 50Mw and the Output is aimed to 500Mw. But, Now this is experimental. But, If it succeed, It gives us Clean and Pollution free Electricity.
