The Sun's Eternal Flame: Unveiling the Cosmic Energy Feast of Nuclear Fusion —Zigong Zhongqing's interactive science installation explores the mysteries of stars
Is the morning sun a "nuclear messenger" traveling through time and space?
As the first rays of sunlight caress your face, you're witnessing a cosmic miracle unfolding over 4.6 billion years. These photons, starting from the Sun's core, journeyed an arduous 150,000-year journey (note: photons take about 150,000 years to reach the Sun's surface), ultimately crossing the distance between the Earth and the Sun in 8 minutes and 20 seconds, delivering nuclear fusion energy 150 million kilometers away to Earth.
The Heart of the Solar System: A Super Reactor Consuming 4 Million Tons of Matter Per Second
• The Truth About Stellar Burning: The Sun isn't "burning" at all. Instead, it's transforming 620 million tons of hydrogen atoms into 618 million tons of helium per second through the proton-proton chain reaction (PP chain). The 4 million tons of mass lost are converted into energy according to the equation E=mc².
• Difference from a hydrogen bomb: The Sun's core temperature is only 15 million degrees Celsius (a hydrogen bomb requires 100 million degrees Celsius), yet it achieves sustained fusion at a pressure as high as 15 Earth atmospheres.
• Future Warning: The Sun will enter the red giant phase in 5 billion years, but a 10% increase in brightness over the next billion years could cause a runaway global greenhouse effect.
Putting the Sun in a Science and Technology Museum: The Science-Popularizing Magic of Interactive Installations
Zigong Zhongqing's interactive solar fusion installation makes cosmic energy accessible through three innovative designs:
Holographic Structure Model: Layered displays of the radiation and convection zones, with LEDs in the core area dynamically simulating the fusion process.
Particle Collision Game: Visitors manipulate a proton model and experience the challenge of overcoming the Coulomb barrier.
Energy Conversion System: Real-time calculations show that the fusion of 1 gram of hydrogen is equivalent to the energy of burning 20 tons of coal.
