United States Junior basement make nuclear fusion, nuclear engineering experts questioned Hu side
This does not occur in the story of Hollywood sci-fi film.
In seven countries in the world, signed a formal agreement to establish a billions of dollars to build up an experimental nuclear fusion reactor to release the energy of the Sun, according to the United States the Detroit free press on 20 July reported that the United States of Michigan, one of the 17-year-old boy in the basement of his home to make a nuclear fusion reactor, its use of the materials but purchased from the Internet.This is in your basement make nuclear fusion for 17-year-old United States Junior Tiger ·
Olsen.Students in the eyes of the "mad scientist"
This is called Tiger ·
Olsen (ThiagoOlson) junior student at Michigan State University for stony, he looks fine, very clean, the school's average score is 3.75, is preparing for university studies. However, his friends, he is the "mad scientist".In the basement of my parents home, Tiger, Tiger exhausted its physical love, spent two years, more than 1000 hours of time to study a large machine: a huge, complex nuclear fusion.
He first made this experiment in September, then in his parent's garage sound of the machine.Tiger pointed to House a large steel box, this instrument like a vacuum regulator, the air sucked into aspiration, then he will deuterium gas, hydrogen, a gas injection into the instrument from another old x-ray equipment from 4 million volts of electric current, and applied to the instrument, so that its operation, so that the instrument of atom will be attracted to the Center, then produce nuclear fusion.
Tiger that when these occur, there willbe a small amount of energy produced.Nuclear fusion is the energy produced by Atomic splitting, Tiger it described as "the Holy Grail of physics."
Join the ranks of nuclear fusion maker
While a nuclear fusion enthusiasts gather site you put Tiger as an amateur manufacturing nuclear fusion of its atomic enthusiasts 18th.
This Web site under the guise of fusor device is to commemorate the inventor Ferro · T · Dr. worth defiance, built inside the Forum because of various nuclear fusion is hilarious Lager.This year, Tiger or Siemens Foundation national research competitions first runner-up, he would also like to participate in Detroit next year March science and machinery fair in order to qualify for next may in Mexico at the Intel International Science and machinery Exposition.
Now, in the basement of the little room, Tiger established a science laboratory, a shelf with a marked with "hydroxide" and "methanol" bottle, there is also an old name of "Atomic fingerprint: neutron cremation analysis" book.
In the United States has a lot of nuclear fusion enthusiasts, Tiger many ideas from the Exchange with others online.
My mother thought that the son can do Cook
High voltage may cause extremely serious consequences, in Tiger vacuum glass Windows, at a desk for monitoring camera, if the x-ray from wearing out, the consequences are very serious.
However, the first time, Tiger's mother Natasha ·
Olsen or very glad for this machine, but she isn't surprise because her son always has all kinds of weird idea."First, he said he would make a pressure oxygen cage.
" She said, the idea also met with her objection, then the son instead ask yourself whether you can build a nuclear fusion, this time the Natasha acquiesced.So far, the Tiger's parents also remember
how the son in the 5-year-old is just trying to get some chemistry bottles and jars, and how 9-year-old when he replaced his brother in the car's battery.Tiger's father Mark ·
Olsen help son built a number of structural and electronic devices. In order to get the necessary components, Tiger has a large number of browse the Internet, he from eBay purchases, also on the use of their own age advantages convince the shopkeeper gave him a discount. The entire manufacturing process from his own ideas and and some science enthusiasts are in online communication.Tiger's grandfather Clemente Reyes is a federal government employee, in the Department of defense manufacturing during World War II tank, Tiger has expressed the wish that they be able to do the grandfather.
"I've know what to do in the future. " He said."I am always interested in science, this is my school's favorite subjects.
" But his mother is so his hobbies," I thought he would be a Cook, because he likes to mix everything together. ”■ Expert
AssessmentI do not believe the child capable of pursuing a nuclear fusion apparatus
— — Academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, nuclear engineering expert Hu side
Beijing News: United States junior in the basement made out of the nuclear fusion, do you believe?
Hu side: impossible.
Nuclear fusion is created so easily?Nuclear fusion requires some energy, very high temperature, the laboratory is in a very large scale to produce a little bit of everything.
Because the energy is too high, the laboratory provides, you can only use laser to heat up, but need very large to very large equipment, it is not possible in such a small room produced.Beijing News: youth spent 4 000 volt voltage blow to vacuum containers Atom also not enough?
Hu side:
a fully enough.Beijing News: so that individual is made up of nuclear fusion?
Hu side: impossible.
Even if countries also need considerable equipment is possible.Beijing News: this is why terrorists are making no nuclear weapons?
Hu side: nuclear weapons is another matter.
Produced by the nuclear fission, this is relatively easy.And nuclear fusion is not likely to become a nuclear weapon.
Nuclear fusion requires very high temperature, to let the mixture of deuterium and tritium Positron between repulsion, the repulsion is very powerful, it's possible to reach tens of temperature in degrees Celsius. The so-called nuclear fusion also called thermonuclear fusion, is because he's very high temperatures, the heat is several hundred degrees Celsius heat, but millions of degrees of heat, the Beijing News: nuclear fusion only this approach?Hu side: I know only this approach.
The main point is that nuclear fusion must use very large equipment in order to instill into energy.Beijing News: the world of nuclear fusion reality?
Hu side: now in laboratory-scale inside, very large equipment can only produce a little something to fusion reactions occur.
This is all the same, is the decision of the physical principles, not a kid in his backyard can themselves.The possibility of success almost zero
— — Beijing Normal University Physics Professor Liu Liao
I doubt the authenticity of the message, the young people themselves to create the possibility of nuclear fusion is almost zero.
Nuclear fusion is difficult, so far only the former Soviet Union, the United States, France, the United Kingdom that several countries have this technology, now also prepared in France, we get the money together.General nuclear fusion is a very complex inst
allations. Hot nuclear weapons is produced by nuclear fusion, now no one country can produce thermonuclear weapons.● Equipment introduction
Tiger ·
Olsen has assembled Fusor device mainly from one old treatment of breast cancer in the instrument, he has enough inside, injection of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen gas, but they also have a neutron.In-house equipment is vacuum, designers with 4 million volts electric shocks, Olson said on this point it is sufficient to let the original combination of atoms together into helium, the process is similar to Sun's Fusion.
● Test procedure
1, Olson's nuclear fusion machine is a steel container, it can be taken out of the air, forming vacuum.
2, container forming vacuum, Olson will tritium injection container.
3, then a spent x-ray machine parts adapted equipment issued to container 4 000 volt HV currents, containers of atom will rapidly be attracted to the Center, to create a "fusion" reaction, in container Center produces a bright small energy ball.
■ Key words
Nuclear fusion
Nuclear fusion is the lighter nuclei aggregation into heavier nuclei, releasing enormous energy nuclear reaction process.
In 1939, Hans Beth discovery, Sun and other stars energy output is hydrogen a nuclear reaction results.
The 50 's, the United States scientists created a hydrogen bomb, its principle is to make hydrogen isotope deuterium and tritium mixture of nuclear fusion reactions to occur, hydrogen bomb produces a large amount of helium nucleus.Although nuclear fusion in the Sun and other stars in common, to its own production or a very difficult thing.
In General, there are two principles to achieve nuclear fusion: laser fusion and magnetic poly
Variable, according to this principle, in order to achieve nuclear fusion has a number of ways. The first method is called "tokamak"-type magnetic field constraint method.It utilizes strong currents generated by the strong magnetic field, the plasma constraint in a small area.
But this device if you use the cost in the industry.
Another method is the inertial confinement method, the few milligrams of deuterium and tritium mixtures or solid, mounted with a diameter of about a few mm ball.
Even from the outside into the laser beam, spherical and due to the absorption of energy to evaporation, the inner layer, then the extrusion pressure rise and accompanied by a sharp rise in temperature. When the temperature reaches the required temperature of ignition, the ball will explode in the air, and generate significant heat.Fusor device
This device is made from Ferro ·
T · Dr. worth defiance to manufacturing and design by nuclear fusion, the doctor or the inventor of the TV.Fusor device later also improved through numerous scientists.
Most of the control system of nuclear fusion is slowly on the magnetic field in a constrained to heating, plasma Fusor device is the ion temperature directly into nuclear reactor, thus simplifying the reaction.
When Ferro ·
T · Dr. worth defiance first make this device, became the first to clearly show the nuclear fusion reaction of non-explosive device, it was the hope of nuclear fusion power generation in the Fusor.Largest Fusor project is a place called ITER International project, which involve the EU, Japan, Russia and the United States and other countries.
