Atoms Unleashed - Fusion's...

John Harpoon

Fusion energy, often described as the “holy grail” of power sources, holds the potential to revolutionize how we generate electricity and tackle global energy challenges. At its core, fusion is the process that powers the sun and stars, where two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. The promise of harnessing this natural phenomenon for human use is one of the most exciting scientific endeavors of our time.
The appeal of fusion energy lies in its virtually limitless potential. Unlike conventional energy sources such as fossil fuels, which are finite and contribute to environmental degradation, fusion uses fuels like deuterium and tritium, isotopes of hydrogen that are abundant in water and lithium. These fuels are not only plentiful, but the fusion process produces no greenhouse gases or long-lived radioactive waste, making it an incredibly clean energy source. In theory, fusion could provide an inexhaustible supply of energy, helping to meet the world’s growing demand while reducing the environmental impacts associated with other forms of energy production.
In addition to its environmental benefits, fusion energy promises to be a game-changer for energy security. As the global population increases and industrialization expands, the demand for energy will continue to rise. Traditional sources like coal, oil, and natural gas are becoming increasingly insufficient, both in terms of supply and sustainability. Nuclear fission, while capable of generating large amounts of energy, carries significant risks, such as nuclear accidents and the challenge of radioactive waste disposal. Fusion, on the other hand, offers a potentially safer alternative, with no risk of runaway reactions and no long-term waste problems.

The Star Drive - The True Story...

Phillip Hills

In May 2018 NASA called a press conference to announce the successful test-run of their tiny nuclear reactor KRUSTY (Kilopower Reactor Using Stirling Technology). This revolutionary technology, which runs on heat alone, may have profound consequences for the future of mankind, enabling us to maintain permanent bases on the Moon, on Mars, and other planets, and eventually power a starship. On earth too it could have enormous benefits as a new way to generate power at a time when climate change is threatening our very existence. 
 
 
 
This book is the amazing story behind this invention, which began with Robert Stirling's original designs for a heat exchange engine in 1816. An invention truly ahead of its time, the practical application of the Stirling Engine has taxed the minds of scientists and inventors for almost 200 years. Only now is it possible for its full potential to be realized. Phillip Hills weaves science and history together to tell the story of one of the most exciting scientific developments the world has ever seen.
