Chapter 28 Magnetic Fluid Generators

The concept of magnetic fluid generator actually appeared very early.

It is a device that generates electricity by using a conductive fluid, such as air or liquid, to move relative to a magnetic field according to the Hall effect.

Since the step of mechanical energy conversion is omitted, its power generation efficiency has also been significantly improved.

In fact, in his last life, he imagined using this technology to generate electricity.

But because time is too tight, there is no extra time for in-depth research, so in desperation, we had to choose the relatively simple method of boiling water to generate electricity.

But this time...he has absolutely plenty of time!

A little excitement flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes, he reached out and grabbed a piece of white paper, and spread it evenly on his desk.

"Brother Xu, take a look at this plan!"

After speaking, Lu Yongchang picked up the pen on the side, pulled off the cap of the pen, and started to draw directly on the white paper!

Seeing Lu Yongchang's actions, Fang Xu's eyes showed some doubts.

This...is a simple way to boil water to generate electricity, do you need any other solutions?

There are so many controllable nuclear fission power stations in Xiaguo, wouldn't it be over if you just copied a plan?

With this in mind, Fang Xu took a step forward and carefully looked at the white A4 paper in front of Lu Yongchang.

Looking at the straight and neat lines on the paper, Fang Xu's eyes showed a bit of surprise.

"Your hand-drawing skills...are amazing!"

Lu Yongchang paused suddenly, and then explained with a smile: "Hey! I learned it by myself, otherwise, how did I draw those simple diagrams on the blackboard?"

Fang Xu nodded in admiration.

This is not to say that learning can be learned!

At least, he can't.

Not to mention him, even among the academicians of the Academy of Sciences, it is estimated that there are not many people whose drawing skills can reach this level!

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

In the office, it gradually fell into silence.

Except for the breathing of the two, there was only the "rustling sound" of the pen in Lu Yongchang's hand scratching the white paper.

"This is……"

Fang Xu raised his eyebrows sharply.

With the gradual improvement of the drawing lines, he could see what Lu Yongchang was drawing!

"Magnetic fluid generator?"

Lu Yongchang didn't stop what he was doing, chuckled, nodded and said, "That's right! It's a magnetic fluid generator!"

"In my opinion, this is simply the most suitable device for controllable nuclear fusion, bar none!"

Fang Xu frowned instantly.

After pondering for a moment, he said with a heavy tone: "Yongchang, I know that the power generation efficiency of the magnetic fluid generator is very high."

"But...the magnetic fluid generator has several fatal flaws, and this technology is not yet mature enough!"

"Isn't it a bit... too reckless to use it rashly for controllable nuclear fusion?"

The pen in Lu Yongchang's hand stopped abruptly.

He slowly looked up at Fang Xu, smiled and shook his head: "Difficult?"

"Currently, there are two difficulties that limit the magnetic fluid power generation technology."

"First, magnetic fluid power generation technology requires inert gases containing trace amounts of alkali metals such as potassium and cesium as working fluids."

"Second, the high temperature environment under the normal operation of the magnetic fluid generator."

"Am I right?"

Fang Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded lightly: "This is the first one, and it is still difficult to solve it now."

"Mass production of noble gases, this technology, we don't have yet."

"According to the current technical means, if a magnetic fluid generator is used, even if the working fluid can be recycled, the cost will far exceed our expectations!"

Lu Yongchang stared at Fang Xu meaningfully, with a faint smile in his eyes.

"Brother Xu, are you sure, we don't have the technology to make inert gas yet?"

Fang Xu frowned slightly, and after carefully recalling in his mind, he slowly shook his head: "I'm sure, at least as of last week, I haven't seen related technologies in Xia Guo, or even international journals! "

Lu Yongchang didn't speak, but took a deep look at Fang Xu, and then picked up the pen to write and draw on the paper again.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xu frowned even deeper, and an inexplicable sense of irritability came from the bottom of his heart.

Vaguely, he had a premonition.

I seem to have overlooked an extremely important thing!

But Fang Xu couldn't figure out what it was.

"Yongchang?"

Fang Xu's eyes showed a bit of anxiety, and he asked in a low voice to Lu Yongchang in front of him: "What kind of technology is it? Tell me quickly!"

Lu Yongchang still didn't speak, just tapped the desk with the tip of the pen.

Fang Xu, who was attracted by Lu Yongchang's actions, looked down at the white paper in front of him.

A line of neat pen writing appeared on the white paper.

1 2 h+ 1 3 h→ 2 4 he+ 0 1 n+17.6meV

This is... the reaction formula of deuterium-tritium fusion!

Seeing the extremely familiar reaction in this line, Fang Xu immediately froze in place.

His lips trembled slightly, and a smile gradually appeared on both sides of his cheeks.

"So it is! So it is!"

No wonder he always felt like he was neglecting an important thing!

Considering all the external factors, he just ignored the most important internal factors!

Different from ordinary thermal power generation and nuclear fission power stations, deuterium-tritium fusion itself produces helium!

Hydrogen-2 and hydrogen-3 undergo fusion reactions under high temperature conditions to produce helium-4 and neutrons. This is simply the knowledge of high school physics, but...he, an academician, just ignored it!

Fang Xu smiled wryly and shook his head: "In this case, the first difficulty has been solved."

The smile in Lu Yongchang's eyes became more obvious: "The second difficulty, is it still difficult for us now?"

Fang Xu froze for a moment, then suddenly reached out and patted himself on the head!

"Oh! My brain! What happened to this recently!?"

The new material in the stellarator reactor can resist the high temperature of controllable nuclear fusion. Could it be said that it cannot resist the "low temperature" of 2000-3000K when the magnetic fluid generator is working?

The more Fang Xu thought about it, the more excited he became. He turned his hands behind his back and kept circling around Lu Yongchang's office.

"Yeah!"

"Helium can be produced in the deuterium-tritium fusion reactor! It is still a high-temperature gas of hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius!"

"We don't even need to expend energy to heat it up!"

"This is simply, this is simply the perfect power generation solution!"

Lv Yongchang chuckled, and handed the sketch on the table to Fang Xu: "Brother Xu, let's see if Sandaokou University has any talents in this field. If so... make a prototype as soon as possible!"

"Let's strive to complete the first controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor within half a year!"

Fang Xu was in a turbulent mood, reached out to take the sketch handed over by Lu Yongchang, and nodded vigorously!

"good!"

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me!"

"I promise, within two months, you will be able to see the prototype of the magnetic fluid generator!"
