The next 20 years will have eternal energy

In the context of increasingly exhausted fossil fuel sources, and nuclear power plants are questioned for safety, the need for new energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Recently, a US arms designer said they could create endless energy supplies in 20 years.

We now have alternative sources of energy for fossil fuels such as wind, solar, etc., but they have not been widely adopted due to economic inability. However, the answer to the conundrum is probably going to be found by Lockheed Martin - maker planes, weapons, missiles, satellites and defense technology leading US - with invented reactor Compact Fusion Reactor .

A bit of physical knowledge for those who do not know about this type of energy: Fusion is a process whereby two light nuclei form together to form a new, heavier nucleus, releasing energy. . This process is in contrast to fission in reactors at current nuclear power plants, and it is also safer because it does not generate radioactive waste.

In addition, theoretically, fusion reactors can be compacted to small enough to provide eternal power to an aircraft, which would never have landed again for refueling!

A team of Lockheed Martin scientists, led by Professor Thomas McGuire, has gathered knowledge from previous fusion experiments to create a prototype that is as small as 10% of the size of the A thermonuclear reactor was created (the new reactor was the size of a jet engine). Professor McGuire believes that Lockheed Martin will be able to complete the prototype by 2020 and connect the reactor to grid infrastructure to help reduce carbon emissions and ensure that the " energy security " of the United States.
