[SOLVED] Plasma as future source of energy

[rahul.6sept]

Dear all,

I have a query.Can Plasma be the source of energy for future??

Let me know ur take on this.

Plasma is just a state of matter (like solid, liquid, gas). State of matter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Which particular energy source you are referring to? Fusion reactors?

Dear FvM,

Plasma when passed through a high magnetic field can act as a source of energy in usable form.

True - but where do you get the plasma from ?
With present technology, more energy is used to create the plasma than can be extracted from it.

Dear Brian,

Is it?Then obviously the process is negative.

Anyway can we simulate it?

Also can you plz let me know (for my knowledge) the different processes/technology present for creating plasma.

kindly give your personel id for more interaction.

Regards,

rahul

try to keep things within the forum rather than taking it to personal ID's..... at least someone interested in this in future can refer your post....
Dont try to deviate the thread by asking personalmail ID of the users... this is the first warning to you

See the Artificial plasmas chapter as an introduction Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Generally, you can expect to have some artificial plasma sources around you, e.g. a fluorescent lamp. Unfortunately, they are energy sinks rather than sources.

Plasma is more like a current day sink of energy.


edit: *grin* I see FvM made pretty much the same remark. Well, there you have it. You read it on the internet. Twice. So it must be true.

Tomorrow's quality news outlet: "Scientists prove plasma is current sink!"
