6 Ways Sluggish Economy Changed My Outlook On White Hat
The simple choice for energy efficiency As the National Academy of Sciences pointed out, the key metric is the fusion energy gain factor, also called “Q.” This is the ratio of the power used to start and maintain a fusion reaction compared to the power produced. The latest announcement at NIF shows a gain of roughly 1.5, meaning the reaction has become energy-positive. Another energy-related concept is called the Lagrangian, after Joseph-Louis Lagrange. When the atoms are smashed together and combine, neutrons are released. These stream out of the reaction chamber and can be used to heat a liquid, probably water, to create steam. This steam in turn could be used to power turbines that would produce electricity, said Alain Brizard, a theoretical fusion expert Energy at Saint Michael's College in Vermont who was not part of the project. The hope is that in time, this process can be scaled up and done cheaply enough to create power that is carbon-free without the creation of radi
