Podcasts about stellarator

Warum leuchtet die Sonne? Das haben wir überraschend lange nicht gewusst. Mittlerweile wissen wir Bescheid: In ihrem Inneren findet Kernfusion statt. Und wenn wir das auch auf der Erde hinkriegen könnten, wäre das super. Das ist aber gar nicht so einfach. Wie die Kernfusion im Inneren der Sonne funktioniert und wo das Problem mit der künstlichen Kernfusion liegt, diskutieren Eva und Jana in dieser Folge.

Diese Woche im Tech Briefing:Thema der Woche: Im Inneren unserer Sonne verschmelzen unter dem enormen Druck und gewaltigen Hitze leichte Atomkerne zu schweren Atomkernen und setzen dabei unendliche Mengen an Energie frei. Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler forschen seit Jahrzehnten an einer Möglichkeit, diesen Prozess aus dem Herzen der Sterne auf der Erde zu replizieren. Kernfusion verspricht saubere und sichere Stromerzeugung. Ganz ohne radioaktiven Müll oder CO₂. Wie in Bayern damit Wahlkampf gemacht wurde, was das Max-Planck-Institut in Greifswald und Garching ausheckt – hören Sie heute!Plus: Am Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik (IPP) in Deutschland forschen die wissenschaftliche Direktorin Prof. Sibylle Günter und rund 1.100 Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter an zwei Technologien der Magnetfusion: Tokamak und Stellarator. Wie funktionieren diese Technologien?Dazu: In den 80er Jahren riefen der damalige amerikanische Präsident Ronald Reagan und der sowjetische Generalsekretär Mikail Gorbatschow ein transnationales Forschungs-Projekt ins Leben. Den ITER – warum glaubten Gorbatschow und Reagan an dieses Projekt, das weit mehr als nur ein Kraftwerk werden kann, während Finanzierung und Zeitplan völlig aus dem Ruder laufen?

SUSCRÍBETE A NUESTRO CANAL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSmna6Kzqq9hTg8oRd1xSPg?sub_confirmation=1 Imaginad: una fuente de energía barata, limpia, segura y virtualmente inagotable. Prácticamente sin residuos y con cero emisiones de carbono a la atmósfera. ¿Ciencia ficción? ¿Demasiado bueno para ser cierto? Sin duda el discurso suena al timador que en la serie animada de Los Simpson le vendía el monorraíl a la ciudad de Springfield. Pero lo cierto es que la Humanidad lleva persiguiendo este Santo Grial de la energía desde hace 70 años y, aunque los avances son lentos, la quimera parece cada vez más al alcance de la mano. Todas las grandes potencias mundiales invierten hoy día cifras exorbitadas en la investigación de esta energía. La necesidad de encontrar alternativas a los combustibles fósiles, junto con la urgencia impuesta en los últimos tiempos por el cambio climático, y las crecientes demandas de energía del planeta1 hacen que la fusión resulte cada vez más atractiva, y concite aún mayores esfuerzos entorno a su consecución efectiva y rentable. En este episodio nos gustaría explicar en qué consiste la fusión, aún poco conocida y nacida con el estigma negativo de “nuclear”, pero que puede convertirse en una herramienta fundamental para el futuro de la Humanidad. Repasaremos brevemente su historia, en qué punto se encuentra en la actualidad, cuáles han sido los últimos avances y cuáles son los planes de futuro.

Wird Kernfusion uns alle retten? Vielleicht. Aber nicht in nächster Zeit und sicher nicht vor dem Klimawandel. Denn bis ein kommerziell einsetzbares Kernfusionskraftwerk fertig ist, wird noch sehr viel Zeit vergehen. Wie der Plan aussieht und wo die Probleme liegen erfahrt ihr heute in den Sternengeschichten.

Wir probieren seit mehr als 50 Jahren einen Kernfusionsreaktor zu bauen der unseren Energiebedarf stillen kann. Bis es so weit wird es aber sicher mindestens nochmal so lange dauern. Wo die Probleme liegen erfahrt ihr in der neuen Folge des Sternengeschichten-Podcast.

In the early 1950s, optimism surrounding the potential for nuclear fusion in devices like the Stellarator, the pinch devices, and the magnetic mirror were frustrated by plasma instabilities. It turns out that you cannot treat plasmas like charged particles whizzing around in magnetic fields - instead, the complex theory of magnetohydrodynamics needs to be taken into account, and, as the name suggests, it's not easy to understand!  Physical Attraction is the podcast about physics, science, and technology.

In this episode we discuss... Lou’s background in fusion and personal journey in the nuclear space Lou’s work as the national technical director for molten salt reactors Stellarator versus tokamak plasmas The important roles of neutral beams and pellets Challenges in nuclear fission Uses of hydro reactors in scientific testing    A deep dive into Project Prometheus and space power initiatives The resurgence of interest in molten salt reactors The Advanced Reactor Technology program within the U.S. Department of Energy Common challenges among developers and ways in which we can overcome them Interactions of fission products with salt Designing for contingency versus replacement

Hosts: Ed Brown, Dr. Shayne Joseph, Penny Dumsday, Lucas Randall. 00:00:58 By looking at astronomical records from 720 BC to AD 2015, researchers have found a small inaccuracy in modern calculations of the Earth's rotational speed. The Earth's spin is slowing down slightly slower than we thought. 00:11:44 A small section of a dinosaur's tail has been found in a piece of amber for sale in a market in Myanmar. The tail is amazingly well preserved - and feathered! 00:17:31 Nuclear fusion - as opposed to our current nuclear reactors, which use nuclear fission - is the 'holy grail' of physics research. It could provide near limitless energy, without toxic by-products. Now the Wendelstein 7-X project in Germany appears to be making progress, successfully trapping plasma in a magnetic cage. 00:29:39 A small study at Johns Hopkins University could give cancer patients suffering from depression and anxiety some hope. It suggests that just a single dose of magic mushrooms can improve their mental health for months.   This episode contains traces of the Today Show talking about a Christmas tree.

Thomas Klinger vom IPP in Greifswald erklärt den Unterschied zwischen Tokamak und Stellarator - den beiden Designs, in denen wir heutzutage Kernfusionsgeräte bauen.

Ohne Rücksicht auf Wiederholungen kramen wir heute in unseren dünnen Geschichte und klappern in Deutschland so beliebte Themen wie Fußball und Bier ab, widmen uns dem Shameless Selfplugging und üben uns in Zweipotenzen. Während Holgi nachdenkt, ob er sich das noch unangekündigte iPhone unbedingt kaufen muss, räsoniert Tim über seine Lieblingsfilme und ob man in der Vierzigern sich eigentlich noch von irgendwas nachhaltig prägen lassen kann.
