| Uniformity: The secret of better fusion ignition Oct 11th 2013, 13:36 Theoretical physicists use simulations to investigate the uniformity of irradiation at the ignition stage of thermonuclear fusion reaction. One of the ways to achieve thermonuclear fusion is through a controlled reaction between two light variants of hydrogen, called deuterium and tritium. Scientists have now made theoretical calculations indicating how best to improve the ignition stage of fusion reaction. Their approach involves increasing the uniformity of irradiation using high-power laser beams on the external shell of a spherical capsule containing a mix of deuterium and tritium. |  | New device harnesses sun and sewage to produce hydrogen fuel Oct 11th 2013, 00:53 A novel device that uses only sunlight and wastewater to produce hydrogen gas could provide a sustainable energy source while improving the efficiency of wastewater treatment. The hybrid device combines a microbial fuel cell (MFC) and a type of solar cell called a photoelectrochemical cell. | | Hydraulic Fracturing Process Animation May 7th 2013, 21:43, by cuddmarketingyoutub | Hydraulic fracturing is the fracturing of various rock layers by a pressurized liquid.
