The Department of Energy (previously known as the Atomic Energy Commission) initiated Project Sherwood in the mid-1950s to coordinate work on high temperature, magnetic confinement fusion (hot fusion) in universities, industry and the government. The objective was to show that nuclear fusion reactions could be made to occur in a high temperature gas plasma. Heat […]
Is Energy From Nuclear Power Plants Renewable?
Nuclear energy is the source of much debate due to recent and infamous safety failures at nuclear power plants. There’s another debate surrounding the use of nuclear energy, however: is it a form of renewable energy, or not? While nuclear energy is often considered a clean form of energy, its status as a renewable resource […]
Design of Helium Separator
In order to produce kilowatts of energy, cold fusion generators must be able to sustain more than 1016 nuclear reactions per second. Reactant product helium gas molecules can be anticipated to be produced at approximately this rate, and will need to be removed from the system so that additional hydrogen and/or deuterium gas can be […]
Top 5 Renewable Energy Trends in 2019
As more communities turn to renewable energy for their power needs, more developments are being made to meet the increasing demand. These exciting changes are making it easier for people to access renewable energy, promoting its use throughout entire communities, and paving the way for future developments.
