Science , what with all of its rigorous operation and stifle item , can sometimes be a bore . But this wacky new written report that says we could achieve cold nuclear fusion reaction with an ultra fast diamond slug : not boring at all !
Chinese researchers say that give the axe a tiny , millimeter - sized ball field bullet into a cylinder block of methane at 1,000 klick / s ( about 2,200,000 miles per minute ) could yield heat high-pitched enough to achieve nuclear spinal fusion . Nuclear coalition , of course , is the elusive Holy Grail of clean energy that could power our humans sustainably into the future . Just do n’t miss that methane block .
allot to computer simulations , the initial impact of the diamond heater would be 4 petawatts , about 80 % of which dissipate immediately . What ’s leave , though , is still enough to get things live enough for nuclear fusion , the scientists say .
At this stage , obviously , all of this is very suppositional , but it has already attend to sustain one matter quite empircally : DIAMONDS + BULLETS + 2 MILLION MILES PER HOUR = the coolest science news of the day . [ PopSci ]
