Artificial Sun: The world will be illuminated by the artificial sun, and will get a renewable source of energy; Know where it will shine

A few years ago, if someone had talked about two suns shining in the sky, he would have laughed off his point by saying that it was a fantasy. It is not so now. Scientists from 35 countries including India are working on the artificial sun. A huge laboratory has been set up for this research in the St. Paul Lez Durance area of ​​France. If the experiment is successful, then man will get a renewable source of energy, which will have no fear of ending. This sun will not shine in the sky, but the whole world will be illuminated by its energy.

The Sun gets its strength from nuclear fusion

The source of the Sun's energy is the process of nuclear fusion. In the process of nuclear fusion, two smaller molecules combine to form a larger molecule. The immeasurable energy released by the union of two hydrogen molecules to form helium is the source of the continuous energy of the Sun and many other stars in Brand.

The need to look to the source of energy

Scientists say that when the population of the earth was one billion, then there were enough sources of renewable energy here. But to continue meeting the energy needs of today's eight billion population, we need to move to a truly renewable source. The source that nature has been using since time immemorial. That source of energy is nuclear fusion.

Steps towards making dreams come true

It was said that anytime you ask when nuclear fusion will succeed, the answer will always be at least 30 years later. That is, it has been considered almost impossible. Now for the first time, continuous nuclear fusion for five seconds has succeeded in producing energy. It produced 59 megajoules of energy. Five seconds may be short, but considering the immense energy, it is a great achievement to handle the process for so long. It has been proved for the first time that the process of fusion is possible under laboratory conditions.

being used like this

In the machine called Tokamak, molecules of heavy hydrogen (deuterium and tritium) are injected and super magnets are activated around the machine. This creates plasma inside.

Plasma is held together by a magnetic field, so that energy does not come out and heat the walls of the machine.

Plasma is heated to 150 million °C, causing the fusion of deuterium and tritium.

In this process helium and neutrons are formed, whose mass is less than the combined mass of deuterium and tritium.

In the process of fusion, this extra mass is converted into energy. The energy released during the experiment has now been absorbed through some metals. In the future, this energy can be used to make steam, run turbines and generate electricity.
