Nuclear Fission v Nuclear Fusion: Differences and Similarities Explained
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- Nuclear fission and fusion are two fundamental processes that release energy in different ways. Nuclear fission involves splitting heavy atomic nuclei, like uranium-235 or plutonium-239, into smaller fragments. This process releases a significant amount of energy along with additional neutrons that can sustain a chain reaction, leading to a steady release of energy. Fission is the principle behind nuclear power plants, where controlled chain reactions are harnessed to generate electricity. On the other hand, nuclear fusion involves combining light atomic nuclei, typically isotopes of hydrogen such as deuterium and tritium, to form a heavier nucleus. This process releases an immense amount of energy, much greater than fission, and is the power source of stars, including our Sun. Fusion reactions have the potential to provide abundant, clean energy with virtually no long-lived radioactive waste. However, achieving controlled fusion on Earth has proven challenging due to the extreme temperatures and pressures required to initiate and sustain the reaction, as well as technical challenges in confining and controlling the hot plasma. In this video, we have explained the differences and similarities between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.

شكرا جدا
مقاطعك جميلة للغاية ورائعة
الصور مذهلة … المعلومات واضحة وممتعة
I am GED student and i subscribed your Channel
Nice explanation.
Glad you liked it!
Very Informative😮
Thank you! How about the question in the end? Would you do the experiment?
Maybe❤
Very useful for me😊
Great explanation!
Glad it was helpful! :)
3:49 u state fission produces clean energy but itsnt it the other way around?
Thank you for your explanation. About octopus, I
think I will stop the experiment before the disaster happens.
I really dont understand what you mean when you say that when a neutron samshes into another atom, so the atom is spliting into an unstable nucleus maybe i didnt understand correctly but a nucleus has protons, neutrons and electrons, so if it's getting unstable and the atom is no longer an actual atom, how can you say i got split into a smaller nucleus? Explanation please.
You're correct that atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus at the center of the atom, while the electrons orbit around the nucleus. During nuclear fission, the original nucleus splits into smaller nuclei, which are still nuclei containing protons and neutrons, albeit different atoms compared to the original atom

I"m a supporter of nuclear energy.
While, I do look forward of fusion energy, in reality, at this time, it takes more energy to create fusion. Until fusion can be self-sustained and/or have self-ignition of fusion, fission is by the far at this time, the cleanest energy production, along side with hydro power.
Helium 4'5.....
Hi. Your topic is perfect but your subtitle isnot farsi so I cant understant the topic
Helium 5 isotope
no sir
Helium 4.
Helium3. ???
I think Helium 4 and a neutron.
think again, dear human
Please improve it

It's interesting how all this research is still based on heating water into steam. Is there no replacement for steam.... I'm just wondering why we have to burn water.

We still use steam…that’s amazing. At least we are getting better. We will figure it out.
surely we will
