Fusion is a powerful way to get energy, it power the sun to not collapse on to it self and lets light come on earth and start life. Imagine this, the mass of the Sun, unbelivably large right? I

Nature's Way of Making Energy

Fusion powers the sun and the stars, where gravity compresses hydrogen gas to the temperatures required for fusion. The challenge for fusion energy is how to create those conditions on Earth in a controlled way that can be used to provide power. Fusion occurs when atoms are heated to very high temperatures, causing them to collide at high velocity and fuse together. When two light nuclei collide to form a heavier nucleus the process releases a large amount of energy. The most practical fusion reaction uses isotopes of hydrogen named "deuterium" and "tritium". These can be extracted from seawater and derived from lithium, both in abundant supply. There is enough fusion fuel on earth to power the planet for hundreds of millions of years.

Fusion Power Explained – Future or Failure

Is Fusion Power the clean power for the future? Fusion is the process which powers the sun and makes all life on earth possible. Energy is produced by fusing together light atoms, such as hydrogen, at the extremely high pressures and high temperatures which exist at the centre of the sun (15 million ºC). At the high temperatures experienced in the sun, gas becomes plasma.
Fusion energy has the potential to provide a sustainable solution to European and global energy needs.

There are two primary problems to be overcome in fusion power research

1. Sustained confinement and choice of container materials.
Fusion reactions are extremely delicate and will stop almost immediately if not very precisely maintained - this makes them safer in many important ways compared to existing fission reactors.

2. They must also avoid losing energy in order to be sustainable. Leading designs for controlled fusion research use () or confinement of a plasma.

Both approaches are still under development and are years away from commercial operation .

Clean energy

Virtually limitless fuel available

No chain reaction. Easier to control or stop than fission
Nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei )

Little or no nuclear waste. Core remains radioactive for only 100 years. Possibly radioactivestructural elements

Very low fuel cost

Unproven (it will take another years of research to explore it on commercial scale)

Commercial power plants will be very expensive to build

Requires extremely high temperatures
If cold fusion could be achieved, it would be much easier to implement

This is how fusion look like . the reason that the sun is able to do fusion is because the pressure and heat are so hot at the core that is fuses atoms together
