| Torus nuclear fusion machines |
denberg |
12/03/04 |
I've just been reading a magazine article about extracting energy from deuterium, in a Torus type nuclear fusion machine -
"Before fusion can take place, the deuterium must be heated to a temperature of at least 100 million degrees. That is more than six times the temperature of the interior of the sun."
Why six times the temperature of the sun? Why isn't just the temperature of the sun enough in the machine?
Thanks,
Paul. |
