, when compared pound to pound, nuclear fusion can deliver four million times as much energy as coal, oil or gas does.
Researchers across the globe have been attempting to replicate the process the Sun has been carrying out for billions of years at a much smaller scale in a reactor. They have achieved some amount of success using theIn such a reactor, hydrogen fuels are heated to temperatures up to 150 million degrees Celsius, 10 times hotter than the center of the Sun to form plasma, a superheated gas.
During the recent experiments, the scientists at the facility were able to generate 59 megajoules of energy sustained over a five-second period. This is far higher than the 22 megajoules of energy the facility had managed to produce in its 1997 experiment. During the recent experiment, the average power produced was 11 megawatts per second, the statement said.
