The document discusses nuclear fusion as an energy source. It explains that fusion occurs when two atomic nuclei collide and fuse together, forming helium nuclei and releasing energy. This is the same process that powers the sun. Currently, fusion has not been harnessed as an energy source because scientists do not yet know how to sustain fusion reactions. The document notes that fusion would produce clean, renewable energy but developing the technology to utilize it would have a very high cost, making it not practical for the Canary Islands at this time.

2. • This energy comes from the union of two or
more atomic nuclei, normally
hydrogenum, and this, form
neutrons, helium, and energy.
• It is the same energy that the Sun has.

3. • At the moment we don´t work this energy
because we don´t know how we can work it.
• The elements of this energy are easy to find in
this world, for this, this energy is renewable.

4. 3. What kind of energy
transformation takes place?
• When 2 atoms of Hydrogen fusion we obtain 1
atom of Helium and a lot of heat energy

5. 4. How do we transform the energy?
• Power is generated by the collision of atoms
very powerful, the reverse of fission where
the particles are separated.
• When we have heat energy, we can use it to
heat water, move a turbine and generate
electricity

6. 5.Enviroment Impact
Scientists say it will be an
inexhaustible energy source, safe
and clean from hydrogen. But we
won’t know until approximately
2018, when it is expected for
completion of ITER (International
Thermonuclear Experimental
Reactor).

7. 6. Is this a good energy source
for the Canary Islands? Why?
• Not , because an installation of this type
would have a very high cost and the Canary
Islands can take a lot of renewable energies
alternatives to this

8. •Adventages:
- It is a clean energy.
- It is almost inexhaustible.
- It is secure. There isn´t any possible danger.
•Disadvantages:
- Today the science doesn´t know how we can work it.
- Request a very high temperature
- The energy that it will be generate is less that the energy use to
generate it.(The generation is many expensive)
