you knew that the sun is a great
plasma sphere and that produces its
energy through fusion
at least I did not know the school and the
school and much less knew that I was going
to dedicate to work on a project that
would bring this technology to costa rica
my name is jaime mora and today we are going to
tell our experience throughout
of the project is the editor of costa rica
one to every question of rigor is that it is
plasma good the plasma is the fourth
state of matter and as a state in
matter is obtained in the same way as
the previous ones
let’s do a little experiment if
we take from the solid state by
example an ice cube and we apply it
energy that will happen as good what
what’s going to happen is that we’re going to
transform liquid and that you already
they know it from school and college
now they also know that if we take
the liquid and we started to heat
we are going to value it and we are going to
transform do you do it every time
that dripped coffee as well as they can
see
as it warms up and heating it
we are going from state to a moment
what we are going to do is have a
transformation of all that liquid and
very well what happens after
come we have the gas that happens if what
we heat up just that’s what it’s about
the plasma chile
we arrive we contain them in some
container and we read it energy what
let’s get clothes very dimly what
that we are going to have there is plasma now
at the beginning of the exhibition said
that the sun is a sphere of plasma and
we know that if we bring any
material to the sun we are going to disintegrate
So the question is why the
plasma that was generated here very tenuous e
I should not glass
if it is so high temperatures good
that’s because the plan can not
Classify into two more technical plans
and not thermal to allow me to
explain this topic
let’s assume that this wave of vázquez is a
nucleus of a hydrogen atom and
this green wave your electron when you
we apply energy what is
happening is that we separate electron from
its atom
When this happens, who has the greatest
amount of energy in a plane
technical is the electron cro and if this
electron makes it good if this plan does not
we put it to interact with the matter
it will not cause more
now what about the plasma that
he has only the publisher s is
classifies as a thermal plasma
lotions that are the ones with the most mass
they will have the same amount of energy
that the electron
if we put that plasma interact like
material is going to cause damage and it’s going to
destroy
knowing this if we want to work with
this type of plants we must develop
some device that allows me to be able
contain it
for that the stellar hector was created
as you can see in the image of the
right we have a container but a
donut- shaped container this one is not going
to allow to contain the gas that we want
convert in plasma
we need then in some way that
once we created the plan he noted that
those walls and we’re going to achieve that
doing using a concept that
we learned also in school
remember when you take a cable
they supported a nail and wound a
wire was connected to a battery and
this one wanted magnetic properties
we call that electromagnet just
that what we are going to do in our
voters and in the image on the left
the figures in black are bovine
ovines that what they are going to do is generate
a magnetic bottle that will catch
the plan my baby
marchetto that the walls to these only
one thing is missing and that is to be able to heat
this case give gas to energy
is transformed into plasma and this we are going
to do in a very simple way
let’s use microwaves like those
you use every day to
heat their lunches in the ovens
microwave and very well for what we want
generate this type of plasma draw the
Earth
the objective is to generate fusion and what is
that fusion
good is the process that occurs when
we join two atoms in this case
particular
we are going to join a deuterium atom and
tritium they are isotopes of the
hydrogen which at umir are going to
form or they will give us a large amount
of energy
besides not paying the “I” and they are going to give us
neutrons this process be it the
nature and the stars are given
for example our sun is given in the
core to 15 million degrees celsius
who is he and combined with his great
gravity its great force of gravity is
let it be the fusion process
here on earth we can not imitate that
force of gravity therefore we must
use a different strategy and it’s
very simple strategy that strategy
is to warm all the atoms even more
and we take them to 150 million
Celsius degrees
that’s ten times more than the
sun temperature
no doubt this project me opportunities
unique to grow professionally
but also to grow personally
one of them one of those experiences
It was in Spain the first time I went to
know a this reader in 2009
not only that has allowed me to meet
big persons
one of them is josé asenjo a great
friend engineer in electronics and one of
the most passionate people that I
I know I left him with it thank you jaime
it was super interesting, I knew
to jaime
when we arrived together a laboratory
physics in the tec and good one day I
I stumbled down the hall and he says Jose
benitez an experience that we had
us on some photos
That’s exactly what I was talking about in
Spain and well I accepted
stressed that the meeting not only
was
to see pictures were meeting the
treatment and they did not give me nine coffee
years claiming that at the end of the
meeting was already noted in the group
of work that was going to be commissioned
develop the power systems the
device
back then the project was super
green we did not have a laboratory there
we had financing but there was a
group of super committed people
with the same very much desire to
work to make the difference
innovate and that was love at first sight
for me to the point where even my
Dad wanted to send him the bed to
there for the u and that I would stay to live
there
morals was telling a little about the
how and what I ‘m going to tell you
him because we in costa rica
we really live in a very country
lucky
our electrical matrix is to say the
sources from where we generate electricity
are exemplary worldwide only the
last year 98 percent of all the
electricity that we consume came from
renewable sources but we have to see
the image completes the energy that
consumes the country is not only based on
the capacity you have to generate
electricity or the resources you have
to do it also how did the
I’m here
probably they were transported in
bus train auto and consumed
energy when doing it they consumed gasoline
we all have to add that component
the transport component and the
also industrial component
commercial and residential agriculture
if we see that complete image we give ourselves
account that Costa Rica still has a
great dependence on fuels
fossils and if we see the image in the
world
things are not different and better
about 86 percent of all the
energy that humanity has consumed
last year he did it from sources like
coal oil and natural gas
that gives a lot of things to think about
what would happen for example if tomorrow we
we wake up and we realize that no
there’s gas
we have to start said let’s take out
the bicycles true because we have to
somehow get the job but
we have to think about doing that
transition of all transports to
new forms of energy for example
electric
and the important question that we have to
make us is if we have the resources to
generate that new energy demand
we thought a bit of the numbers for
feed 200 thousand houses
we need a cachi dam
we will need 44 thousand liters of oil
45 thousand cubic meters of natural gas
75 thousand kilograms of carbon 3,2
kilograms of uranium like chili for the
hobby and the big question confusion
only 0.16 grams of hydrogen is
more or less what weighs a grain
small corn we
costa rica is contributing to the development
world of a new source of energy
that has the ability to even do
that countries stop facing each other
resources to generate energy for that
serves the exterior of costa rica 1 the
last June 29 we made the first
download our device were 4.5
seconds
that was his own truth that day
we literally make part of a
star in a laboratory there in
I send for a day the news more
commented and shared in costa rica was
of science and with that with that discharge
we locate Costa Rica as the sixth
country in the world to have a
device these in operation and not
we stay there thanks to the donation
from a US university since
last year is also underway
the project tokamak cr medusa or tokamak
is a cousin of the editor estuary as well
saying it is a device also that
serves to confine the highest
temperature and with this project we are
converting costa rica into the third
country of the world in having both
devices in a single laboratory
us the researchers of the
we know it’s not the Japanese and the
Germans or Americans alone
who will achieve the development of
this technology are a series of
efforts worldwide and in the world
the massa project
curious iter is an effort of 34
countries to achieve the development of this
technology
and that teamwork has also been
important to us throughout
the years the editorial exterior sr1 is
a work of many people at
over several years committed to
the project and wanting to do the
difference
those students are now in the app
has the opportunity to develop in
cutting-edge technologies
not only plasma blocks true
which are very important to introduce
the applications in costa rica and
develop them here in our country in
these more or less 15 minutes that they
we talked about our passage through the
project sr1 the sun generated the energy
that humanity will consume in the
next 30 years
that is the energy of the stars and
that is the energy that we from the
app
we want to develop for costa rica and
for the world
