Nuclear Fission
We all know that energy on earth is running out, but what if we could use stars? Stars contain so much energy, if we could harvest it, we would never run out of energy. Energy from stars could be the energy source we are looking for. Energy is something we probably take for granted, we use so much of it everyday, and our current energy source, fossil fuels, releases gases into the environment, but with energy from stars, it could be a fresh start for our energy sources and our environment.
Stars are made from a mix of gases, and are powered by chemical energy and nuclear fission. Nuclear fission is a atomic reaction that happens in the core of stars, mostly converting hydrogen to helium, but it requires a lot of energy. Nuclear burning is …show more content…
Einstein's principle of Constancy has been under review for a long time, many people thought traveling at the speed of light was just something in science fiction novels, but after multiple tests performed by multiple people, it has been proven true. If one were to have enough energy it is easy to travel at the speed of light. The New Horizons spacecraft is the closest we have ever gotten to traveling at the speed of light. It's speed is 9,000 miles per hour, making it the fastest we have ever gotten to the speed of light. The speed of light is possible, as technology on earth advances, traveling at the speed of light will become a real possibility. The only thing we need to overcome, is just finding enough energy and storing all of it, though it is most certainly something to keep in mind, because even if we use a ton of energy on earth, the energy we get from the stars we reach will be well beyond the amount we …show more content…
There are different ways to store energy, a Gypsum Washboard being one. A Gypsum Washboard, when combined with Bytal Setrite, becomes a good storing device for thermal energy, which stars have a lot of. Another real possibility would be Phase Changing Materials, which have been gaining a lot of attention recently. Phase Changing Materials (PCM) are effective ways of storing solar and chemical energy. They are a useful technology for development and actual use of
