Yep, it's
a tiny hydrogen fuel cell for homes, and can charge up your gadgets.
Not exact matches
Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) seeks to create those conditions by taking a
tiny capsule of fusion
fuel (typically a mixture of the
hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium) and crushing it at high speed using some form of «driver,» such as lasers, particle beams, or magnetic pulses.
NIF, in contrast, takes a
tiny capsule filled with
hydrogen fuel and crushes it with a powerful laser pulse.
Currently only a
tiny speck of
hydrogen fuses, and for the laser approach to work, the fusion reactions would have to propagate through the rest of the
hydrogen fuel.
To find the right balance of moisture and temperature in a specialized type of
hydrogen fuel cell, Berkeley Lab scientists have used X-rays to explore the inner workings of its components at
tiny scales.
