With accessible writing, Neal Singer introduces young readers to what fusion is--and isn't. He explains the ways scientists have approached and developed fusion and discusses its advantages over other

A transition from a fossil fuel–based economy to one that uses renewable energy has become inevitable; this transition will not only be an engineering challenge, but will also be an economic and envir

There has been an increase in interest worldwide in fusion research over the last decade and a half due to the recognition that a large number of new, environmentally attractive, sustainable energy sources will be needed to meet ever increasing demand for electrical energy. Based on a series of course notes from graduate courses in plasma physics and fusion energy at MIT, the text begins with an overview of world energy needs, current methods of energy generation, and the potential role that fusion may play in the future. It covers energy issues such as the production of fusion power, power balance, the design of a simple fusion reactor and the basic plasma physics issues faced by the developers of fusion power. This book is suitable for graduate students and researchers working in applied physics and nuclear engineering. A large number of problems accumulated over two decades of teaching are included to aid understanding.

Temperature affects everything. It influences all aspects of the physical environment and governs any process that involves a flow of energy, setting boundaries on what an organism can or cannot do. T

A flap book with a positive vision for a future world powered by sustainable, renewable energy.We need energy, and lots of it - but some of the ways we generate energy put life on Earth in danger. We already have some planet-friendly alternatives, but we're going to need more. This book imagines a future world packed with exciting, innovative renewable energy technology. It explains what that technology might look like, how it will work, and how it will change the world we live in for the better. It looks all the way to a future where energy can be generated in outer space - one day, enough to fuel the entire solar system.Technology covered includes: solar power - in space; wind turbines - high in the sky; nuclear fusion; wave power; geothermal energy; new forms of transport, from airships to hydrogen planes to solar-powered ships; new sources of food and new types of farm; innovative ways to store energy.
