Scientists to make miniature sun can provide endless energy for human
[abstract] engineers and scientists are working to build a huge stars "mini", it will be sent to you by the same reaction with the sun provides energy for the future.
Scientists hope to "man-made sun" project in the 2020 s to the early running
According to foreign media reports, from seven entities of engineers and scientists are building a huge stars "mini", it will be sent to
you by the same reaction process with the sun provides the energy for the world.
The program is called Iter (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), it is located in the south of France near the provence region aix.After completion of the weight of the building will be 3 times of the Eiffel Tower, and 60 times the size of a football field.
Within the new building will be a nuclear reactor, the scientists hope it can provide us by nuclear fusion energy.It can have a clean, safe energy, and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
Earlier this year, behind the project team identified a new director Bernard Bigot.When he joined team said: "we are now manufacturing and construction for project preparation. I have to join a new management team, the team should not only study but also for industrial production."
Within the building will be built a small controlled nuclear reactor, the inner nuclear fusion is the same with the sun.When two atoms each other collision, releases energy in the form of photons.Scientists hope to gain and use that energy to replace the pollution is serious and we now use limited forms of energy.
The early stages of the project was launched in 1987, now team of researchers from seven entities are pushing the project, including the European Union, the United States, Russia and China.Since the launch has encountered various problems, so the plan had to drag on.But scientists hope that the building will be able to run in the 2020 s into the early, and at a certain moment in the later began to harvest energy.
Iter in Latin means "way", named after its this project is to emphasize that make safe, clean energy for the world of a possible ways.The project was once known as the international thermonuclear fusion reactor experiment, but its potential concern let people give up the meaning of the name.
