About
Energy is the fundamental currency of our universe.
​
We use it to accomplish many things: powering our homes, growing our food and inventing easier and faster methods of transportation.
Humans have come up with many ways of collecting energy such as burning coal, splitting atoms or using solar panels.
​
However, everything comes with a downside - fossil fuels are very toxic when burnt, nuclear power creates radioactive waste and solar power becomes impossible on cloudy days.
​
And yet, our Sun releases an almost infinite amount of free energy.

What is Fusion?
Our Sun shines because of a thermonuclear process called fusion. In the core of a star, hydrogen atoms are heated up to such a degree that the electrons are separated from the atomic nuclei and creates a hot plasma. Stars are so massive that the immense pressure at the core forces the nuclei to fuse together releasing energy in the process. It's this energy that we hope to harness here on Earth, advancing humanity forward into a new generation of power plant: Fusion Reactors
Fusion Reactors
Currently, there are two different designs for fusion reactors that function. The first, magnetic confinement uses a magnetic field to squeeze the hot plasma around a doughnut-shaped chamber where the fusion reactions take place. These reactors such as the ITER in France use powerful electromagnets cooled with liquid helium. The second design, the Inertial Confinement Reactor uses super-powered lasers to heat the surface of a fuel pellet, which then implodes on itself causing the reaction.
​
Although this technology looks promising, these are only just experiments and we still need a long way to go. If perfected though, a glass of seawater could contain enough hydrogen and oxygen fuel for the reactor to produce as much energy as a burning barrel of oil.
​
Though these concepts may seem dangerous at first, a fusion reactor would be much safer than most other power plants. If the container is breached, the plasma would expand and the reaction would simply stop and not combust.
Fusion reactors also don't negatively affect the environment like other power sources. While a leak of radioactive fuel such as Tritium (Used by fusion reactors) could be catastrophic, only a few grams of it would be used in any given moment so a leak would quickly dilute and cause no harm.
