Magneto-fluid generators, the concept actually came about a long time ago.
It is a device that generates electricity by moving an electrically conductive fluid, such as air or liquid, relative to a magnetic field according to the Hall effect.
Since the step of converting mechanical energy was omitted, its power generation efficiency was also significantly improved.
In fact, in his previous life, he had envisioned adopting this technology for power generation.
However, because time was too tight and there was no extra time for in-depth research, he had no choice but to choose the relatively simple boiling water to generate electricity.
But this time ... he has absolutely abundant time!
A few flashes of excitement flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes as he reached out and grabbed a piece of white paper, laying it flat on his desk.
"Brother Xu, take a look at this program!"
Saying that, Lv Yongchang picked up the fountain pen on the side, unplugged the cap, and directly traced on the white paper!
Seeing Lv Yongchang's action, Fang Xu's eyes revealed a few puzzled colors.
This ... a simple way of boiling water to generate electricity, is there still a need to have any program?
Summer country so many controllable nuclear fission power station, casually copy a program is not finished?
Thinking in his heart, Fang Xu stepped 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 some marvelous colors.
"Your hand drawing skills ... are awesome!"
Lv Yongchang's movements jerked, then he smiled and explained, "Why! I learned it blindly by myself, otherwise, how did I draw those sketches on the blackboard in the first place?"
Fang Xu nodded with a face of admiration.
This was not something that could be learned just by saying it!
At least, he couldn't.
Not to mention him, even among the academicians of the Academy of Sciences, it was estimated that there were not many people whose drawing skills could reach this level!
Inside the office, silence gradually descended.
In addition to the breathing sound of the two men, only the "rustling sound" of the pen in Lu Yongchang's hand on the white paper remained.
"This is ..."
Fang Xu's eyebrows jerked up.
As the lines of the drawing gradually improved, he could see what Lv Yongchang was drawing!
"A magnetic fluid generator?"
Lv Yongchang didn't stop his hand movements, and with a light smile, he nodded and said, "Not bad! It's the Magneto-Fluidic Generator!"
"In my opinion, this is simply the most suitable device for controlled nuclear fusion, bar none!"
Fang Xu's brows instantly furrowed.
After pondering for a moment, he said in a somewhat heavy tone, "Yongchang, I know that the magnetic fluid generator has a high power generation efficiency."
"But ... magnetic fluid generators have several fatal flaws, and this technology is currently not mature enough!"
"Wouldn't it be a little ... too presumptuous to rashly use it on controlled nuclear fusion?"
The pen in Lu Yongchang's hand lurched.
He slowly looked up towards Fang Xu and shook his head with a smile, "Difficulty?"
"What is currently limiting the magnetic fluid power generation technology is nothing more than two difficulties."
"First, the magnetic fluid power generation technology, needs to require inert gases containing potassium, cesium, and other trace alkali metals as the work material."
"Second, the high temperature environment under normal operation of the magnetic fluid generator."
"Am I right?"
Fang Xu's gaze slightly condensed as he gently nodded, "This first one, it's still a bit difficult to solve at the moment."
"Large-scale manufacturing of inert gases, this technology, we currently do not have."
"According to the current technological means, if we use a magnetohydrodynamic generator, even if the workmass can be recycled, this expense will far exceed our expectations!"
Lv Yongchang stared meaningfully at Fang Xu, a faint smile emerging in his eyes.
"Brother Xu, are you sure, we don't have the technology to create inert gases yet?"
Fang Xu's brows furrowed 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 any relevant technology in Xia, or even international paper journals!"
Lv Yongchang didn't say anything, he just looked deeply at Fang Xu, then, once again, picked up the pen and wrote and drew on the paper.
Seeing this scene, Fang Xu's frown deepened, an inexplicable sense of annoyance coming from the bottom of his heart.
Vaguely, he had a premonition.
It seemed like he had overlooked an extremely important item!
But what exactly was it, Fang Xu couldn't figure it out.
"Yongchang?"
A few anxious colors appeared in Fang Xu's eyes, and he asked in a low voice towards Lv Yongchang in front of him, "What exactly is the technology? Why don't you quickly say it!"
Lv Yongchang still didn't say anything, but only gently tapped the desk with the tip of his fountain pen.
Fang Xu, who was attracted by Lv Yongchang's action, looked down towards the white paper in front of him.
A line of clear fountain pen handwriting appeared on the white paper.
1 2 H+ 1 3 H→ 2 4 He+ 0 1 n+17.6MeV
This was the reaction formula for ... deuterium-tritium fusion!
Looking at this incomparably familiar line of reaction formula, Fang Xu immediately froze in place.
His lips trembled slightly, and a smirk gradually appeared on both sides of his cheeks.
"So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"
No wonder he always felt that he had overlooked an important item!
After considering all the external factors, he had favored the most important internal factor to be overlooked!
Unlike ordinary thermal power generation and nuclear fission power stations, deuterium-tritium fusion, itself, had helium as a product!
Hydrogen-2 and hydrogen-3 under high temperature conditions undergo a fusion reaction to produce helium-4 and neutrons, which is simply the knowledge of high school physics, but ... it was him, the academician, who preferred to leave it out!
Fang Xu shook his head with a bitter smile, "In that case, the first difficulty has been solved."
The smile in Lu Yongchang's eyes became more and more obvious: "The second difficulty, for us now, is it still a difficulty?"
Fang Xu froze, then violently reached out and slapped his head!
"Oops! This brain of mine! What's going on lately!?"
The new material inside the Star Imitation Reactor could resist the high temperature of controlled fusion, could it be that it could not resist the 2000-3000K "low temperature" of the Magneto-Fluidic Generator when it was working?
The more Fang Xu thought about it, the more excited he became, he turned his back and kept circling around Lu Yongchang's office.
"Right! Right! Right!"
"Helium would have been produced within the deuterium-tritium fusion reactor! It's still a hot gas at hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius!"
"We don't even need the energy to heat it up!"
"This is simply, this is simply the perfect power generation solution!"
Lv Yongchang let out a light laugh and handed the sketch on the table to Fang Xu, "Brother Xu, see if we have any talents in this area in Sandaokou University, if so ... make a prototype as soon as possible!"
"Let's strive to complete the first controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor within half a year!"
Fang Xu was in a stirring mood, reaching out to take the sketch handed over by Lu Yongchang and nodded vigorously!
"Good!"
"Don't worry, this matter, leave it to me!"
"I promise, in less than two months, you'll be able to see the prototype of the magnetohydrodynamic generator!"
