Artificial sun to give 13 times more light and heat than the real sun
MAY 27 (WTN) - You are well aware that the existence of life on earth is possible only because of the Sun. And you also know that there is only one sun in our solar system. But if we tell you that China is making a different sun of its own, then you must have been shocked after reading it. Yes, now, China is increasingly working on the artificial sun. China claims that the artificial sun being invented by it will give about 13 times more light and heat than the real sun.
Actually, scientists say that sunlight is decreasing. Research also suggests that our sun is weakening faster than other stars in the galaxy. And for this reason, apprehensions like the Ice Age are being raised on the earth. In view of this, Chinese scientists were engaged in preparing the artificial sun for a long time, and now they have succeeded in this. Actually, the artificial sun is such a nuclear fusion, which can give 13 times more energy than the real sun.
For your information, let's know that apart from China, many other countries of the world were also trying to make the artificial sun, but for this, the biggest difficulty was to keep the hot plasma in one place and keep it in the same condition till fusion. This Chinese project of the artificial sun has been going on since 2006.
The artificial sun that Chinese scientists are working on is named HL-2M, which is made by scientists from the China National Nuclear Corporation and Southwestern Institute of Physics. A reactor was designed in Leshan city, China, to create the artificial sun.
Hydrogen gas was heated to a temperature of 50 million degrees Celsius to create an artificial sun and then held that temperature constant for 102 seconds. According to scientists, gases like helium and hydrogen act at high temperatures in the real sun. During this time, energy is released up to 15 million degrees Celsius. Chinese scientists conducted a long experiment to produce this high-energy temperature.
During the process of making the artificial sun, it's atoms were disintegrated in the laboratory. After which the average temperature of the sun was created by plasma radiation, then the fusion reaction was achieved from that temperature. And then, on the basis of this, the fission of molecules happened due to which they emitted a large amount of energy. This process was repeated over and over. However, during the course of the experiment, there was also a flop hand at times.
But after many efforts, Chinese scientists finally succeeded. During the experiment, it was seen that in this experiment, more energy could be produced on the artificial sun than the real sun. During the experiment, the artificial sun had an energy of 200 million degrees Celsius, which was 13 times more than the real sun.
This invention of Chinese scientists is a part of the project in which clean energy can be obtained from nuclear fusion. According to scientists, the energy going to be getting from the artificial sun will prove to be much cheaper than the other sources of energy and less harmful to the environment.
Scientists believe that if the concept of the artificial sun proves to be correct, then dependence on fossil fuels will be greatly reduced. At the same time, nuclear energy generated from the artificial sun can also be converted into green energy safe for the environment with special technology, which can overcome the ever-increasing energy crisis.
