Russian engineers from the Federal nuclear center in Saratov will attempt to light an artificial sun on the Earth.
A powerful explosion has been created by scientists on one of the famous research grounds. Russian engineers managed to create a special magnetic field which is 20 million times more powerful than that of the Earth's. This has been reported by a director of All-Russian scientific research center at the research institute of experimental physics Victor Selemir, reports ITAR-TASS.
According to Selemir, "Such super powerful magnetic fields will allow us to control a thermonuclear reaction, which in turn will become an endless and at the same time pollution-free enerhy source."
Our sun is basically a huge thermonuclear reactor. We must first gripe previously heated plasma with extremely powerful magnetic field in a very short period of time (several nanoseconds-a billion part of a second) in order to 'light' our sun prototype," says Selemir. As a result, mechanical energy converts to heated plasma. Temperature reaches 100 million degrees, remarks Selemir. So far, Russian scientists have only managed to reach the gripe in 5 microseconds. The entire research process is scheduled to take place on a specially constructed facility in Saratov.
