ITER
Throughout
the last few days of science class we have been learning about energy and we
were asked to read and article about ITER which is a giant device that uses nuclear
fusion to create pollution free energy. Through the article it describes ITER or
International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor is a huge machine that weighs
twice as much as the Eiffel tower. ITER uses hydrogen atoms and basically forces
them together until the combine and release a lot of energy. In about one or
two decades ITER will be turned on. Which will create the most amount of energy
ever created from one machine.
ITER has potential
to become a great machine and have a great impact on the earth but it comes
with a price. ITER is a huge project that is projected to cost 20 billion
dollars it is also taking up a huge amount of time and involves 35 countries in
the project. But this effort will provide a great amount of energy enough to
last the world 30 million years.
