This is based on the item called Fusor which is a nuclear fusion device that uses electrical fields to move ions for collision.
So I was doing a bit of calculation with how Fusors utilize Voltage for heating up ions to achieve nuclear fusion and this is what I found. I will be utilizing the Ohm's Law as well.
First we convert Electron-Volts (30000) or 30 KeV to that of Voltage with using an elementary charge as Coulombs (1.60217663e-19) during the process which 30000 Voltage.
We would need to find the Ohms from the Ohms meters of the material, in this case I will be using Tungsten 4.9e-8 Ohms meters which is suggested to be one of the preferred materials for Fusors.
For the Ohm's calculator, I will be using a length of .07 meters and the Cross Section Area = 0.0012566 m^2:
(4.9e-8 / .07 length) * 0.0012566^2 cross section area = 1.1053305e-12 Ohms
Then I will be finding the Amps from the KeV and the Ohms:
Amps = 30000 / 1.1053305e-12 = 2.7141203e+16 Amps
Then we shall find the number of Watts from multiplying Amps and Voltage which is:
814236090000000024576.00 Watts
Thoughts?
