Sentences with phrase «plasma reactions he generated»

Not exact matches

It takes a huge amount of energy to get the plasma into this state, and the goal for ITER researchers is to demonstrate that they can control the fusion reaction and generate 10 times as much power as the reactor consumes.

The team thinks one reason their technique is so efficient is that a chemical reaction between the hydrogen plasma and air molecules in the chamber's atmosphere generates cyano radicals — carbon - nitrogen molecules that have been stripped of their electrons.

The community focused on broad research areas critical to moving the field into the burning plasma science era when there will be a strong focus on the creation and study of plasmas where the energy to sustain fusion reactions is generated by the plasma itself.

Here the cycle is ionize the gas to make the plasma, build up the current, heat the plasma with an external heater until the temperature for fusion is reached, turn off the heater, and then have the energy require to keep the temperature high generated by the fusion reaction itself.
