Energy From Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear Fusion is the energy-producing process which takes place continuously in the sun
and stars. In the core of the sun at temperatures of 10-15 million degrees Celsius, Hydrogen is
converted to Helium providing enough energy for us to sustain life on earth.
For energy production on earth, different fusion reactions are involved. The most suitable reaction

excellent source of energy for our planet to have, and although it is not available for home use as
of yet, you can expect to have this great power source in your home within the next 25 years.
