Alternative Concepts - Fusor : Product Testing

# data[].attributes.body
Non-Destructive Materials/Product Testing:

- X-rays, which can be produced from fusors at much higher wattage, are incredibly helpful in what is called NDT

- x-rays can non-destructively penetrate materials and objects,with their behavior being observed

- Depending on their behavior, it is possible to spot cracks and verify product integrity seamlessly.

Alternative Concept - Fusor : Neutron Generation

Alternative Concept - Fusor : Neutron Generation

# data[].attributes.body
Neutron Generation:

- At higher energy input into the system (in wattage), neutrons can be produced through the stripping of neutrons from deuterium gas which is extremely common in fusors.

- Lone neutrons are helpful for materials analysis as they are highly penetrative

- helpful in neutron radiography as current cancer research points towards neutrons having better accuracy over traditional chemotherapy in targeting cancerous tumors

# data[].attributes.body
Other than the generation of electricty, we must also consider what else our product can be used for:

Research:

- One possible and likely concept that our fusor could alternatively be used for primarily is lab research, as fusors at an experimental stage on the global science stage

- require a lot more research done into them before they become more pervasive.

# data[].attributes.body
This reduces the amount of exposure to ionizing radiation experienced at nuclear power plants which ensures a higher level of safety.

The fusor will also reduce the cost of electricity as it produces more energy per kilogram (kg) compared to fossil fuels which are also a heavily used source of energy.

This will impact people in lower incomes as they will have to worry less about electricity bills and ensure that their budget constraints are loosened.

# data[].attributes.body
Fusors produce less waste compared to fission which produces lots of radioactive waste which is costly to dump.

Fusors have the potential to be safer than fission reactors due to them producing less ionizing radiation than fission reactors which require more safety measures to counteract the ionizing waves produced by the reactions.

Lower income households will have access to cheaper electricity

Nuclear power plants will be safer as there is less ionizing radiation to worry about

Less waste produced which decreases the amount of used as a dumping ground for nuclear waste

Cheaper electricity allows people to focus their budget on other aspects of their daily lives.

# data[].attributes.body
People need access to cheap electricity as many modern day appliances rely on electricity. If electricity cost are reduced we can increase the number of people that have access to electricity. Fission is costly which is why the development of nuclear fusion will aid in reducing the cost of electricity.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important that our product produces power in an efficient and safe manner while also reducing material usage. This ensures that electricity prices decrease which aids families on a strict budget. It will also reduce the environmental impact as less resources are used in nuclear fusion.

# data[].attributes.body
What do people care about:

- cost of electricity and power, power prices may go down as the fusors make use of less expensive materials when compared to fission reactors which make use of Uranium-235 which is scarce and requires a long and expensive refining process to be used for power generation. This drives up the cost of power which is what we aim to reduce.

Information We Need to Create an Accurate Model

# data[].attributes.body
Information that we would need to create an accurate model would be:

the scale and shape of the heart's individual major structures

understand the function of the heart to diagram it in a way that would show how the functions work together in tandem with each other.

# data[].attributes.body
Major structures of the human heart include:

the ascending aorta

ligamentum arterlosum

pulmonary trunk

left auricle

left atrium

left superior/inferior pulmonary vein

right superior/inferior pulmonary vein

right atrium

right auricle

inferior vena cava

superior vena cava

right ventricle

left ventricle

right coronary artery

left coronary artery

coronary sinus

great cardiac vein

middle cardiac vein

small cardiac vein

posterior cardiac vein

# data[].attributes.body
The blood comes into the right atrium from the body.

It moves to the right ventricle and into the arteries in the lungs.

The blood picks up oxygen.

It then travels through the pulmonary veins in the left atrium.

It moves out of the body's tissues through the aorta.

# data[].attributes.body
We could look at videos of how the heart actually functions, like a simulation, to see how it moves, and help us determine what materials we need, and how they would need to move together.

Previous Knowledge and Knowledge to Research

# data[].attributes.body
We already knew about the basic four chambers of the heart, but we will need to know how the other parts we identified work to pump blood in only one direction.

To redesign the heart we will also need to learn more about what the heart is made of, and the characteristics of how it moves, so we can replicate it correctly.

# data[].attributes.body
The heart is a complicated organ with many different parts that all work together to pump blood through the body.

I am very excited to explore and dive deeper into the intricacies of the heart, a beautiful organ!

# data[].attributes.body
The structure of the human heart consists of two upper atria that are made to receive blood from the body

Then, two lower ventricles that pump blood out to the rest of the body.

The heart valves that pump blood through the body can also stop back flow of blood.

# data[].attributes.body
We could take a sample of thick water or some other viscous liquid similar to blood, and run it through the model to test if it performs the same functions as a real human heart successfully.

We will likely need to use some sort of pump to start the model off and funnel our blood-like liquid into the atrium.

The problem that we are trying to solve is the looming problem of the abuse of non-renewable energy sources on both humanity and the environment. Fossil fuels create bad air emissions and destroy ecosystems in oil drilling. It’ll also be detrimental for humanities and our machines once we run out of fossil fuels and our entire energy grid shuts down. We aim to solve that.

# data[].attributes.body
The Biofuel Processors seen today have major flaws with them concerning the pollution and wait times that come from current biofuel processors. Current biofuel processors have lengthy wait times and produce a lot of pollutants. We can solve this by finding a way to make them more efficient while also reducing the pollutants emitted.
