can a machine like big bang machine be used for controlled nuclear fusion economically for prodution of electricity?
Controlled nuclear fusion is a process in which two or more atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy in the process. This process is the same one that powers the sun and other stars.
Controlled nuclear fusion has the potential to provide a nearly limitless supply of clean energy. It produces no greenhouse gases or other pollutants and uses widely available materials as fuel.
Currently, scientists are still working to develop the technology and methods needed to make controlled nuclear fusion a viable energy source. Many experiments and projects are underway, but it is not yet a commercially available source of energy.
The main challenges of controlled nuclear fusion include creating and maintaining the extreme temperatures and pressures needed to initiate and sustain the fusion reaction, as well as containing and controlling the reaction within a reactor.
While there is no exact timeline, many scientists believe that controlled nuclear fusion could become a viable energy source within the next few decades. However, further research and development are needed to overcome the challenges and make it a reality.
