Esinye sezikhungo zocwaningo ezinikezelwe ukuqhubekisela phambili umhlaba wokuxubana kwenuzi sikwazile ukusikhombisa futhi ukuthi, yize izazi eziningi zisafuna ukuzola ngoba iseyinde indlela okumele yenziwe umuntu sebenzisa ukuhlanganiswa kwenuzi njengomthombo wamandla, iqiniso ukuthi sisondelene kakhulu kunalokho esingakucabanga.
Iqembu elikwazile ukwenza izindaba, yize livame ukuphindeka kulo mkhakha, yilona elisebenza emkhakheni wokuhlanganiswa kwenuzi kusukela Alemania. Ngokuqondile, sikhuluma ngokufakwa, okufanayo esivele sikhulume ngakho kwesinye isikhathi, nokuthi ngaleso sikhathi kwakuhlonyiswe i-stellarator iWendelstein 7-X, umshini owenzelwe ngokukhethekile ukuze, ngenxa yokusetshenziswa komazibuthe, ungagcina amafu e-plasma ngaphakathi.
I-stellarator yaseJalimane ifinyelela ingqophamlando emjahweni wokuhlanganiswa kwenuzi
Kuleli qophelo nangaphambi kokuqhubeka, ngihlala ngithanda ukukhumbula ukuthi kulokhu okuthunyelwe asikhulumi ngazo zonke lezo zindawo zokuphehla ugesi ezisakazeke ezweni lethu lonke, ezingasebenzisi izindlela zokuxhuma zenuzi kanjalo, kepha kunalokho zisebenzisa i-fission yenuzi ukudala amandla. I- kwehlukile phakathi kokuhlanganiswa nokuhlangana ngukuthi ngenkathi kuhlanganiswa ama-athomu amabili afunwa ukuhlanganisa ukudala eyodwa, ekuhlukaneni kuphambene, okungukuthi, i-athomu ihlukaniswa kabili.
Isibonelo, ngokuvumelana nokuhlanganiswa kwenuzi, asikhiqizi imisebe. Kulokhu, nathi, kufanele sengeze inani elikhulu lamandla esingawakhiqiza. Ukuhlinzekwa kungabanzi kangangokuba kube namazwi amaningi agunyaziwe kule nsimu eyinkimbinkimbi anganqikazi kuchaza lo mthombo wamandla njengokungenamkhawulo, okungenani ngokomqondo.
Eziningi beziyizinsizakusebenza, ezomuntu nezezezimali, ezitshaliwe kulo msebenzi
Ukubuyela emuva ocwaningweni olwenziwa eJalimane, ngikukhumbuze ukuthi iWendelstein 7-X ibikhona ivulwe okokuqala ekupheleni kuka-2015 okukhombisa ukuthi, okweshumi komzuzwana, kungabamba umjikelezo we-helium ions oshiswe ngama-degree ayisigidi. Mhlawumbe lesi sikhathi sesikhathi singahle singabonakali sikhulu kakhulu uma sifuna ukuzinika amandla sibonga ukusebenzisa ipulatifomu enjengale, yize, senzela onjiniyela nososayensi abasebenza ngayo, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi yakhelwe ukudala amandla, kepha kunalokho ayilutho ngaphandle kombhede wokuhlola lapho singathola khona indlela yokukhama ubuchwepheshe obuningi be-fusion technology ngangokunokwenzeka.
Ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kokugcina okwenziwe, ibisebenza ngamandla aphindwe kayishumi nesithupha kunezivivinyo ezedlule. Ngokuqondile, sikhuluma ngama-helium ions acindezelwe nge-plasma ezingeni lokushisa le- Ama-degree ayizigidi ezingama-40 uKelvin. Yize izinga lokushisa likhuphuke izikhathi eziphindwe kayi-4 kunezivivinyo ezedlule, iqiniso yilokho kwe- ukuthola ama-athomu amabili ukuxubana kulinganiselwa ukuthi kufanele sifinyelele kuma-degree ayizigidi eziyi-100.
Luselude ukhalo okusamele luhanjwe ngaphambi kokuba abantu baphathe kahle ukuhlanganiswa kwenuzi
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi akukwazanga nje kuphela ukusebenza ngamazinga okushisa aphakeme kakhulu, kepha nokuthi neqembu lonjiniyela kanye ne-physicists abasebenza kulo msebenzi bazuzile ukwandisa isikhathi se-condensation sibe amasekhondi ayi-6. Asikhulumi ngamahora okwamanje, kepha inqubekela phambili ibaluleke kakhulu kunalokho esingakucabanga ngenxa yobukhulu bedatha.
Ukufeza lokhu kuthuthukiswa, i-stellarator bekufanele ifakwe uhlobo olusha lwengaphakathi lwangaphakathi olusiza ukulawula ukuhamba kwe-plasma ngokudlulisa izinhlayiya ezihlakazekile ezithinta i-plasma uqobo. Njengoba bekulindelekile futhi lokhu sekuqinisekisiwe, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yezitatimende zalabo ababhekele iphrojekthi, kusukela manje kuqhubeke umsebenzi uzokwenziwa ekuhloleni izinguquko kule ngubo ukuze kuzuzwe ukuqina okuphezulu kwe-plasma ngamazinga okushisa aphezulu.
