Chapter 28 Magnetic Fluid Generators

The concept of magnetic fluid generators actually appeared very early.

It is a device that generates electricity by moving relative to a magnetic field based on the Hall effect by conducting electric fluids, such as air or liquids.

Due to the omitting of the step of mechanical energy conversion, its power generation efficiency has also been significantly improved.

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

However, because the time is too tight and there is no extra time to conduct in-depth research, I had no choice but to choose a relatively simple 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, spread it flat on his desk.

"Brother Xu, come and see this plan!"

As he said that, Lu Yongchang picked up the pen beside him, pulled out the cap, and directly drew it on the white paper!

Seeing Lu Yongchang's actions, Fang Xu's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

This... Is there any other solution to generate electricity by boiling water?

There are so many controllable nuclear fission power stations in Xia State, wouldn’t it be enough to copy one plan?

Thinking of this in my heart, Fang Xu took a step forward and looked carefully 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 hint of amazement.

"Your hand-drawing technique is amazing!"

Lu Yongchang paused suddenly, then explained with a smile: "Yeah! I learned it myself, otherwise, how did I draw the simple pictures on the blackboard?"

Fang Xu nodded with admiration.

This is not something you can learn by just learning!

At least, he can't.

Not to mention him, even among the academicians of the Academy of Sciences, there are probably few people who can achieve this level of drawing skills!

In the office, it gradually became quiet.

Apart from the breathing of the two, there was only the "rustling sound" of the pen in Lu Yongchang's hand passing on the white paper.

"This is……"

Fang Xu raised his eyebrows suddenly.

As the lines of the drawing gradually improved, he saw what Lu Yongchang was painting!

“Magnetic fluid generator?”

Lu Yongchang did not stop the movement in his hand, chuckled, nodded and said, "Not bad! It's a magnetofluid generator!"

"In my opinion, this is simply the most suitable device for controlled nuclear fusion, no doubt about it!"

Fang Xu's brows frowned instantly.

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

“But…there are several fatal flaws in magnetofluid generators, and this technology is not yet mature enough!”

"Wouldn't it be a bit too rash to use it in controlled nuclear fusion rashly?"

The pen in Lu Yongchang paused suddenly.

He slowly looked up at Fang Xu, and shook his head with a smile: "It's harder?"

"There are only two difficulties that limit magnetofluid power generation technology at present."

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

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

"I'm not right?"

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

“We do not have this technology for mass-producing inert gases.”

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

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

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

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

Lu Yongchang didn't say anything, but just looked at Fang Xu deeply, then picked up the pen and wrote on the paper.

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

He had a premonition vaguely.

It seems that I have overlooked an extremely important thing!

But Fang Xu could not think of what it was.

"Yongchang?"

Fang Xu's eyes showed a hint of urgency, and he whispered to Lu Yongchang in front of him, "What kind of technology is it? Tell me quickly!"

Lu Yongchang still didn't say anything, but 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 beautiful pen handwriting appeared on white paper.

21h31h→42he10n17.6mev

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

Looking at this extremely familiar reaction, Fang Xu was stunned.

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

"So that's it! So that's it!"

No wonder he always feels that he has overlooked an important thing!

Taking all external factors into consideration, he ignored the most important internal factors!

Unlike ordinary thermal power generation and nuclear fission power stations, deuterium and tritium fusion has helium products!

Hydrogen-2 and hydrogen-3 undergo fusion reaction under high temperature conditions, producing helium-4 and neutrons. This is simply a knowledge of high school physics, but... he, the academician, ignored it!

Fang Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Since that's the case, the first difficulty has been solved."

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

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reached out and slapped his head!

"Oh! My brain! What's going on lately??"

The new materials in the stellar reactor can resist the high temperature of controlled nuclear fusion. Can it be said that it cannot resist the "low temperature" of 2000-3000k when the magnetic fluid generator is working?

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

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"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 use energy to heat it up!”

"This is simply the perfect power generation solution!"

Lu Yongchang chuckled and handed the picture on the table to Fang Xu: "Brother Xu, see if there are any talents in our Sandaokou University in this field. If there are... make a prototype as soon as possible!"

"We strive to complete the first controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor within half a year!"

Fang Xu was in a state of great excitement, and reached out to take the sketch handed over by Lu Yongchang and nodded vigorously!

"good!"

"Don't worry, let me leave this matter!"
Chapter completed!
