Cold fusion

Did you know that there are certain chemicals that can color a fire? Well, that's what my topic is about. There are many chemicals that can turn things into a different color. There will be chemicals used for this experiment and will turn the fire into a range of colors. First, there are many chemicals and subatomic particles involved in the testing. A few things involved are atoms, flame photometry, photons, and many more. All of those things affect the test and how the results will come out.

Uranium 235 (U235) on itself is stable, however if an atom is hit with a neutron, it will absorb that neutron turning into Uranium 236 (U236), and therefore becomes unstable. It then spontaneously splits into 2 atoms, krypton 92 and barium 141 molecule. A new nuclei forms when an unstable nucleus decays creating fission products. Essentially, the fewer neutrons there are loose, the fewer fissions will occur. It is noticed that both the atoms do no equal up to 236, because in fact, 3 neutrons are

researched for 70 years and is only a hair's breadth from being usable(26). Fusion, the same power that fuels the sun, could fuel the world’s homes and cars. A 1000 megawatt coal-fired power plant requires 2.7 million tons of coal per year(21) whereas proposed fusion power plant designs only require 250 kilos of fuel per year to produce more power(22).That’s 1/10800000 of the fuel required to run a coal-fired plant. Even with all fusion could accomplish, funding for it has been cut dramatically in the past

Charles Miller McSwain Mary Anne Sanford DC - Composition I 20 September 2016 The Paramount Pursuit of Fusion Energy The world is facing an energy crisis that will cripple generations to come. The first part of the problem lies in the damage caused by fossil fuel emission. Fossil fuels are the primary cause of the phenomenon known as global warming, the gradual increase of ocean, atmosphere, and surface temperatures. If this temperature trend continues, life on earth will become much more difficult

This energy will excite the affected atom, raising the energy level of its electrons. If these electrons are excited past the range of the nuclei’s binding attractive force, then the electron will jettison from the atom. These two particles, the ionized atom and electron, are now detectable indicating the presence of a neutron. This is the material ionization phenomenon (Crane and Baker). The nuclear reaction induction phenomenon occurs when a larger nucleus is struck by a neutron. There is a probability

Nuclear technology is the reaction of an atomic nuclei. The same applies to nuclear weapons. There are two types of nuclear weapons: fission and fusion, which are created by the splitting or the fusing of atoms. Nuclear weapons were introduced in the 1930s, but they are still vital in the 21st century; however, in order to understand their importance we must first understand their physical composition and how they work to achieve to mass destruction. All existing nuclear weapons stem at least some

The Viability of Fission and Fusion For our planet As the global population increases exponentially, having passed six billion in 1999, the world population is expected to be 8.9 billion by the year 2050. The worlds energy consumption will increase by an estimated 54 percent by 2025. Energy demand in the industrialized world is projected to grow 1.2 percent per year. Energy is a critical component of sustained economic growth and improved standards of living. One of the major requirements for

Home Life: Edward Teller was born to Jewish parents Max and Ilona Teller January 15, 1908 in Budapest, Hungary. The Tellers were an upper middle class family due to Edward's father being a lawyer. The tellers also had a daughter Emmi who was twenty months older than Edward. Until Edward was four he showed few signs of being exceptionally intelligent in fact there was concern that he may lack even normal intelligence. At four however Edward began to speak in full sentences and show great promise

country. During nuclear warfare, when a bomb hits the ground, the bomb releases' radiation. There are three different types of radiation; alpha, beta, and gamma. Nuclear Fission is when a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei. Nuclear Fusion is the process when two lighter nuclei combine to release a vast amount of energy. Stable Nuclei are nuclei that are stable because it has an even amount of protons and neutrons. Unstable nuclei are nuclei that are unstable because it does not have
