ionizing power
11Space-based solar power — Left: Part of the solar energy is lost on its way through the atmosphere by the effects of reflection and absorption. Right: Space based solar power systems convert sunlight to microwaves outside the atmosphere, avoiding these losses, and the… …
12Fusion power — The Sun is a natural fusion reactor. Fusion power is the power generated by nuclear fusion processes. In fusion reactions two light atomic nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nucleus (in contrast with fission power). In doing so they release a …
13Nuclear power in the United States — For a comprehensive list of U.S. plants, see List of nuclear reactors. NRC regions and locations of nuclear reactors, 2008 Main article: Nuclear power As of 2008, nuclear power in the United States is provided by 104 commercial reactors (69 …
14Economics of new nuclear power plants — The economics of new nuclear power plants is a controversial subject, since there are diverging views on this topic, and multi billion dollar investments ride on the choice of an energy source. Nuclear power plants typically have high capital… …
15Minimum Ionizing Particle — In physics, a minimum ionizing particle (or mip) is a particle whose mean energy loss rate through matter is close to the minimum.When a fast charged particle passes through matter, it ionizes or excites the atoms or molecules that it encounters …
16magnetohydrodynamic power generator — ▪ physics Introduction any of a class of devices that generate electric power by means of the interaction of a moving fluid (usually an ionized gas or plasma) and a magnetic field. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power plants offer the potential… …
