FUSION ENERGY ..... Time for Fusion Energy

There are many projects across Japan, U.S and Europe that are trying to perfection the manipulation of plasma and thereby accelerate its energy output. The solution is believed to be in the six-dollar reactor known constructed in the “ITER” project. However, ITER project is still very much in a state of work-in-progress, and commercialization of the technology is not expected within a decade.
Sight of Plasma
Jerome Pamela, project manager of a fusion machine called the Joint European Torus, or JET, at Britain’s Culham Science Center is certain that they will be able to ignite the plasma. The constraint that remains problematic is to convey the transition of plasma into usable energy. A possible solution is to use a particular magnetic field to control plasma once it is heated up to around 10 million degrees Celsius. It is a temperature sufficient to produce plasma but not to initiate a fusion.
An experiment to see the plasma can last for 0.25 seconds. It is quite disappointing to see it live. It is like a ghost in a library but with an enormous amount of energy. It has energy similar to solar, biomass, fission and wind.
