Nuclear Fusion Power

 Carliss Howell : Nuclear Fusion Power



Nuclear fusion power can be considered to be an inexhaustible source of energy. Most natural fusion powers are created from the sun and stars. Harnessing this type of energy can be looked at as mission impossible because of the actual requirements it would take to make this energy sustainable. The temperature to create this fusion needs to be close to 100 million Kelvin and the hydrogen ions need to move at higher speeds and create pressure high enough to bring those said ions close enough to create energy. The sun creates the right conditions for natural fusion due to the gravitational forces; but the Earth doesn’t have this luxury. The earth would need a basic type of fusion; D-T fusion which is basically two isotypes of hydrogen; the D standing for deuterium and the T standing for tritium. There are two challenges with trying to produce this.  The first would be being able to achieve the correct rate of heat that would be originally emitted by fusion plasma that would exceed the rate of energy injected into the D-T fusion into the plasma itself. The second challenge being actually apply the heat of the fusion reaction to human needs basically generating energy.

    This was very interesting to read about. I have never heard about this topic but I think it is Avery good idea for energy

    I really like this topic because I am one with well I love science and I’ve actually went over this in high school which is very crazy so I like this post and I like the picture and I like the website!

    This is a really cool post because I never knew the importance of this type of energy. I think this illustration really shows how much of an impact nuclear fusion power can have. Great post !

    Might read about Chinese work on fusion. They are making claims of a new breakthrough

Land Loss

 Hannah Bailey  There have been posts about sea levels rising however its not just affecting the sea. The water rising is also affecting the land. There is always the conspiracy that Florida will be fully submerged. It is stated on “the travel” page that Florida could be submerged as soon as 2050. This means that section of land will become apart of the sea life ecosystem. All of the oil preserves, the towns, even maybe cars would be submerged and begin to add more pollution to the ocean. This would require the citizens on Florida to have to reside elsewhere. Around 20 square mile of land has been consumed by sea levels rising. That is equivalent to 9,680 football fields of land gone. The image shown is a demonstration of what Florida will begin to look like if we dont take action fast. It is imperative that we save Florida for the citizens, land history, and for the oceans sake.  https://www.thetravel.com/florida-underwater-soon-stats/ https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast...

Wildlife Conservation

  Wildlife conservation is the way of practicing the protection of the animal species and the  habitats they survive in. The Endangered Species Act,  is the establishment and protection of public lands animals live in, and the responsibility of public practices that conserve wild animal populations.  With The earth continuing to grow at a fast rate, it is also meaning that more and more humans are taking up natural resources. This is endangering the existence of animals and their habitats. Programs like the  World Wildlife Fund and  the Wildlife Conservation Society are working every day to slow down the extinction of animals and also protect the earth's biodiversity at the same time.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/wildlife-conservation/

Land Reclamation

 Hannah Bailey Land Reclamation  Land is becoming more scarce as humans produce more technology and as the world wide population continues to increase. Land reclamation is "the process of creating new land from the sea." One way of doing this is by placing certain amount of big rocks and cement into a certain location in the water. To fill in between the rocks they place soil and sand until the new manmade land is at its desired height. This benefits the human race by creating land however, how does this impact our waters? How about the sea creatures? Is this damaging the environment? This does impact all of those things. In areas that use have high amount of crab and fish are seeing less and less. The underwater habitats are being destroyed. There was a reclamation project in China that was restricted for the harm against marine life. The picture shown is the progress the China project had before it was prohibited.  https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetar...
