fusion and the sun

  • Finding

    Fritz Houtemans and Robert d'Escourt made the first calculations of thermonuclear reaction.
  • Hans Bethe

    He is credited as being the master of physics in his time. He wrote three pages containing all that he knew about nuclear fusion, and it was published. Over the next few months, he worked out the basic processes of fusion in the sun
  • Enrico and Edward

    Enrico Fermi suggested the idea of imitating nuclear fusion in the sun to make a weapon to Edward Teller. This would be achieved by using fusion to initiate fusion.
  • Plasma

    The first kilo-ampere plasma was created in a lav in a Okayama at the imperial college in London.
  • The Huemel Project

    Argentina claimed in a press release that their nuclear fusion project, called "Project Huemel" has enabled them to control nuclear fusion after producing it.
  • Ivy

    Ivy Mike was the first thermonuclear device dropped by the USA. It had a force of 62 tons, and referred to by the Russian scientists as "thermonuclear installation".
  • Pinch Devices

    Pinch devices in the US and USSR attempted to take the reactions to fusion levels without worrying about stability.
  • more about Pinch

    Pinch devices basically compress of electric filaments with magnetic forces. they make plasma.
  • Tokamak

    Research of tokamak systems started at Kurchatov Insitute, Moscow by a group of Soviet scientists. They were starting to research destruction techniques.
  • Nobel Prize in Physics

    Hans Bethe won the Nobel Prize in Physics for showing how fusion in stars works.
  • How fusion in the sun works

    When two hydrogen atoms fuse they also release energy. This was shown by Hans Bethe.
  • Farnsworth-Hirsch Fusor

    The Farnsworth-Hirsch Fusor was designed by Philo T. Farnsworth and its inventors said that it could control fusion.
