How Thermonuclear fusion works, free energy without waste
Richard Kraaijenhagen
Nuclear fusion is a clean safe energy. Fusing hydrogen nuclei to release an enormous amount of energy. This talk will cover:
- A recap of the physics that makes fusion work
- How to build a fusion reactor at home
- How nuclei collide and what is needed to the coulomb barrier
- Challenges in how to scale it up and make it generate more power
- How far are we to have fusion energy on the power grid
- Current technical challenges in fusion
- How we can solve problems using machine learning
