Namuhla iqiniso ukuthi baningi abacwaningi nezikhungo ezibandakanyeka kumaphrojekthi ahlobene kakhulu ukuhlanganiswa kwenuzi, udaba olubucayi okuthi, ngaphezu kokuthembisa amandla amakhulu, lusasibambezela kakhulu ngoba, ngaphandle kokutshalwa kwemali okukhulu kwemizamo nezomnotho okwenziwayo, asikwazi ukufinyelela lapho lapho, ekugcineni, sizokwazi ukuziphakela ngamandla akhiqizwa yi-fusion yenuzi.
Iqiniso ngukuthi kunososayensi abaningi, ngandlela thile, asebezuze intuthuko ebonakalayo kulo mkhakha, yize kusenezinkinga eziningi okufanele zixazululwe ukuze sikwazi ukubona i-reactor fusion reactor yokuqala isebenza noma inikela ngamandla. Phakathi kwezinkinga ezinkulu kakhulu sithola lokho ngokoqobo ukuqonda kwethu ukuthi i-plasma esisebenza nayo iziphatha kanjani kulolu hlobo lokuphendula, ukusho okungenani, akuphelele.
Yize kade sicwaninga ngokuhlanganiswa kwenuzi isikhathi eside, iqiniso ukuthi kusekude ekukuqondeni
Ukusho ukuthi ukucindezelwa kwethu akuphelele kungazwakala kungenathemba ngoba, ngenxa yenani elikhulu lamaphrojekthi ocwaningo olwenziwe, ososayensi bethu bazuze ukuminyana kwendlela i-plasma eziphatha ngayo enkulu impela, okungenani uma lokhu kufakwe izimo ezizinzile ngokwanele. Ngeshwa uma isuka esimweni esizinzile iye kokuphazamisekile, isimilo sayo sikudelela ngokoqobo konke ukuqonda kwethu, izifundo kanye nemibono.
Isibonelo esicacile sezinkinga ezibhekene nabo bonke ososayensi abasebenza kulo mkhakha singatholakala ngesikhathi lapho sinqume ukuqala ukupholisa imiphetho ye-plasma esinayo ngokuthembela kusiphenduli se-thermonuclear. Ukuphendula lokhu kuqala kokupholisa sithola ukuthi i-plasma, ngokwezifundo ezahlukahlukene, iqala bahlupheke ngokwanda okukhulu ngokushesha kokushisa lokho akukwazi ukulawulwa, kufana nohlobo lwe-pulse olungachazwa kusetshenziswa amamodeli wamanje wokuhambisa ukushisa.
UPablo Rodríguez, umfundi we-MIT owayengathola isisombululo sale nkinga yokunquma
Ngokuqondile, le nkinga yokwanda okuthile kokushisa ngaphakathi kwe-plasma ibikhathaza umphakathi wesayensi iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20. Ngokumangazayo, bekufanele kube yiqembu labacwaningi abavela eMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), ngokusebenzisa i- iphepha lapho umbhali wokuqala eyiPablo Rodríguez yaseSpain, uqhamuke nje nohlobo olusha lokuthuthwa kokushisa lweplasma okungaba yisixazululo abaningi abebelinde isikhathi eside.
Ukuthola, noma kunalokho ukuphakamisa isisombululo esingaba khona kule nkinga eyinkimbinkimbi, uPablo Rodríguez ubesebenza ne-MIT's uhlobo lwe-thermonuclear reactor ye-MIT ukutadisha isiyaluyalu esikhiqiza ukukhuphuka nokuwa kwezinga lokushisa okutholwa i-plasma lapho sizama ukulipholisa phansi, umsebenzi, njengoba ababhali besifundo bevuma, wawungelula neze. Ngamazwi we Anne White, umqondisi weqembu locwaningo:
Besazi ukuthi ukuzungeza kwe-plasma kuzoshintsha phakathi nalezi zivivinyo zokubanda ezibandayo, into eyenza kube nzima ukukuhlaziya. Besidinga ukwehlukanisa ngokungangabazeki umphumela owodwa komunye.
Kusasele iminyaka eminingi ngaphambi kokuthi sizuze ekuhlanganisweni kwenuzi
Ukuthola isixazululo, iqembu bekufanele lihlukanise konke ukuxhumana okungenzeka phakathi kokudluliswa kokuhamba, amandla, kanye nodaba olwenzeka ngaphakathi kwe-plasma. Lapho lesi sinyathelo sesitholakele, amalungu afanayo afinyelela esiphethweni sokuthi ukushaya okubandayo kuxhunyaniswa nokuthuthwa kokushisa okuzimele ngokuphelele ngesimo sokujikeleza kwe-plasma.
Ngokomsebenzi oshicilelwe nguPablo Rodríguez, ophethe ukumodela yonke imiphumela etholakele kuzo zonke izivivinyo zangaphambilini, kufinyelelwa esiphethweni sokuthi ngaphakathi kweplasma kunenani elikhulu lezinhlelo ezisezingeni elilinganiselwe kakhulu lokho kungashintsha ngokushesha uma kwenzeka kuba nanoma yiluphi uhlobo lokuphazamiseka
