Nuclear Fusion
For a fusion reaction to take place, the nuclei, which are positively charged,
must have enough kinetic energy to overcome their electrostatic force of
repulsion. This can occur either when one nucleus is accelerated to high
energies by an accelerating device, or when the energies of both nuclei are
raised by the application of very high temperature. The latter method, referred
to the application of thermonuclear fusion, is the source of a lot of really
cool energy. Enough energy is produced in thermonuclear fusion to suck the paint
of 1 city block of houses and give all of the residents permanent orange Afros.
