How Fusion Energy Really Works EXPLAINED..

Welcome back to Creative Focus, today on the channel we are going to find out How fusion energy works. It wasn’t until the 20th century, after the discovery of radioactivity, that we figured out fusion science. In 1904, Ernest Rutherford suggested that radioactive decay may be responsible for our sun’s output. Soon after, Albert Einstein developed his theory of mass-energy equivalence, best expressed in his famous formula E=mc2; in 1920 Sir Arthur Eddington proposed that the sun could be producing energy, as expressed by Einstein’s work, by and merging hydrogen atoms to create helium and thus giving out heat and light – essentially, fusion energy production. Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar and Hans Bethe developed the theoretical concept of what Eddington had proposed, now known as nuclear fusion, and calculated how the nuclear fusion reactions that power our sun worked.

Nuclear fusion is one of the simplest, and yet most powerful, physical processes in the universe. Two very excited, very hot, very energetic atoms collide with each other and turn into one atom, releasing a few leftover subatomic particles and leftover energy in the process. After the Big Bang, the entire universe was an extremely hot, extremely energetic soup of very tiny subatomic particles—except it wasn’t quite fair to call them subatomic particles yet, since atoms didn’t exist at this point. Eventually, these tiny particles began to attract each other and bond, turning quarks into electrons, neutrons, and protons—the fundamental building blocks of matter. The hot, dense soup of the universe began to cool and curdle as it expanded, forming little lumps of hydrogen gas. Find out how fusion energy works in this video.
