商品簡介 |
Energizing Our World The use of fossil fuels contributes to global warming, while their abundant energy supports contemporary civilization. Production and CO2 emissions are both increasing. We use fossil fuels to generate 84% of the world's energy, including electricity. Instead, we may create power with no CO2 emissions and then extend the usage of clean electricity to replace combustion energy. We can solve energy poverty and avert climate disaster by producing abundant, inexpensive, 24-hour electric energy from fission. Everything should be electrified. Cars, trucks, and trains can all be powered by electricity. It has the potential to become the energy source for a worldwide clean economy. Make hydrogen from water and fuels for large vehicles and planes. Electrify the building's heating system. Allow for the development of new, zero-emission sectors such as electrolytic steel manufacturing.
The Future of Fusion Energy shows how physical rules and the Earth's energy resources drive the present fusion effort, which is nearing its end. ITER, the world's largest research project and the world's largest fusion reactor, is approaching completion. Its success might spark global competition to build a power plant, while failure could push fusion back by decades. To that aim, this book describes how the results of ITER may be applied to create an economically viable power plant, as well as some of the other alternative fusion concepts.
In this book, you'll discover: - what is nuclear fusion and why does it matter?
- how fusion is different from fission?
- How could nuclear fusion eventually turn on the light in the house?
- why is the DOE's forthcoming announcement about a fusion reaction resulting in net energy gain important?
- Where does fusion take place?
- What are the next steps?
