Synopsis

  • This video explains the possible advantages of producing fusion energy and the obstacles that scientists face as they work to develop fusion reactors.
  • Students will learn about the process of fusion, which occurs naturally in the sun and other stars.
  • The video also explains that while scientists have successfully achieved fusion on Earth, the reactors are not viable because they use more energy than they produce, and they require isotopes of hydrogen or helium that are not readily available.
