  • very clear video, thank you :) just wonder if the fusion happens because of the gravity or the heat ... people says different. Any answer? :) thanks

  • @KickAssPhenom

    Yeah that get's to me too, I guess the answer is both. Because without the gravity squeezing the hydrogen gas (a process which heats it), there wouldn't be an excitement (vibration) of the nuclei, which eventually leads to the overcoming of the replant force of the protons and fusion occurring.

  • @KickAssPhenom Gravity forces the atoms close together, this causes an increase in the kinetic energy (movement) of the atoms which is heat, and every now and then two fuse together via quantum tunneling. At least that's the process in our sun. Version 2 of this video goes into detail on all three. To watch version 2 click on the link given at the start of this video (if your browser supports annotations) or see this video's description for a link. The added info starts at 1:33.

  • I find it convenient that the so called process that goes on inside the Sun mirrors our current human endeavours.

    In the antiquity it was a huge bonfire (or a burning rock).

    In the nineteen century,the Sun's energy was coal being consumed.No wonder because everything in our society was powered by steam.

    In the modern era we got nuclr reactions.Then comes anticipation and proclaims the era of fusion.So human and wrong.

    For a better explanation look for and read the "electric universe" theories.

  • Very enjoyable thank you

  • @sprattysy You're welcome. Glad you liked it.

  • I wrote a song about this process called Power of the Sun by Redstorm. Looks like I got the science right in the lyrics except in this video it's demonstrated the the fusion of hydrogen convert directly to a photon of light. In the song I describe fusion producing gamma rays that transform to visible light. Hope that's also correct?

  • @itsrickinaz Hey, I just found and enjoyed your song! Thanks for mentioning it. We're both correct. A gamma ray is a specific range wavelengths of electromagnetic waves. Some fusion reactions produce gamma rays. Photon is another name for electromagnetic waves, so I was being more generic. The photon in the reaction I used is a gamma ray.

  • Thank you!!!That video helped me,talking about atoms, solar energy, fusion!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

  • @12thebeatles34 You're very welcome! Be sure and click on the annotation at the beginning of the video that takes you to Version 2 of this video. Much of it's the same but it goes into more detail on the actual fusion part in the middle.

  • Umm, it's NOT the gravitational force between a proton and a deuterium

    that overcomes the electromagnetic force, not even their kinetic

    energy from the intense heat, but a process called tunneling.

    Subatomic particles can tunnel through energy barrier that something

    like a car, a tennis ball can't do.

  • The math is of course more complex and I can not and will not attempt it, but just to give an idea, we can roughly do simple calculation to compare these 2 forces.

    Fc/Fg = (kQdQp/r^2)/(GMdMp/r^2). Neutron has no charge, so q1=q2. Mass of proton n neutron r the same so Md=2Mp. The r^2 canceled each other so Fc/Fg = (8.988x10^9Nm/C^2)(1.602x10^-1­9C)^2/(6.67x10^-11Nm/kg^2)(2x1­.67x10^-27)(1.67x10^-27). That is roughly 10^-29/10^-65 = 10^36. So their EM force is stronger than their G by 10^36 times

  • @musikpal I'm aware of this and agree for the most part with your comment about kinetic energy and tunneling (which seems to have disappeared). I'm planning on a version 2 of this video that addresses these as well as gives more detail of how the energy makes it's way up the layers of the sun (I had to word it carefully in this video.) This video is a very simplified version. It's taken a while to get to due to the amount of time I'll need to dedicate to do it.

  • @musikpal Okay, if you watch this video again you'll see a box you can click on that'll take you to version 2 of this video. Version 2 goes into more detail incorporating gravity, high temperature and quantum tunneling.

  • CRAZY!

  • Really well done.

    Isn't it strange that the Sun makes fusion look so easy and effortless, and yet man has not been able to reproduce fusion?

    It's like the Sun violates the "law of conservation of energy". As if it creates energy from nothing.

  • @field16 Thanks. Though no conservation law is being violated there. The energy keeps getting recycled and changing form. The video shows that the 3 energy units of the original two atoms goes into 2 energy units for the helium and 1 unit to the photon. And the gravitational potential energy came from when the sun was formed out of material that was thrown out by older stars that went nova, and so on all the way back to the big bang. (I'm using the current widely accepted physics model here.)

  • @RimstarOrg My main point was to marvel at the power of our sun. Men cannot duplicate the same fusion results, which makes it that much more marvelous.

    The "law of conservation of energy" was violated in what you just stated: the big bang.

    Energy and mass were created from nothing. Everything around you today... was created out of nothing.

    I believe it came from another universe, one that lasts for ever and ever.

    I really enjoyed your animations. Good work.

  • @field16 according to Einstein's E = mc^2, all of the mass has actually be created from the immense amounts of energy before the big bang.

  • @MasterJayZhou Where did the energy come from before the creation of the universe? It had to come from somewhere. The energy could have come from another universe, the one those crazy Christians call "Heaven". ;-)

    Sadly, some people would rather believe in Einstein than believe in something on a higher level. God is the genius of all geniuses. I am a scientist, an engineer, and I seek the truth... I think that someone smarter than Einstein is in control.

  • @field16 haha i see where you are coming from and good luck to you. I'm just a high school student trying to get my physical test correct :)

  • Very informing... not to mention the technical skills in producing such a video. Very well done! Thank you!

  • @JSears1321 You're welcome and thanks! It was a lot of work but worth it to see the result.

  • Excellent video, I defiantly learned something from watching it.

    Its funny how when I went to school this sort of thing did not interest me but now I have left it does!

  • @Alex1M6 Thanks, I'm glad to hear it. And the schooling never really ends anyway.

  • @Alex1M6 interesting i think its because u have more time on your hands.

    Think about it in school there's so much pressure to pass the next test or exam that u you have no time to have deep thoughts or even think on anything u learn in science class also dont forget bully's
