  • Arthur Eddington

    Arthur Eddington suggested hydrogen-helium fusion could be the primary source of stellar energy.

  • Fritz Houtermans and Robert d'Escourt

    They discovered that energy is being produced in the center of stars.

  • Mark Oliphant

    Building upon the nuclear

  • Hans Bethe

    developed the theory of nuclear reactions. And wrote a book containing information about fusion in the sun.

  • Nuclear fusion in the stars

    Manhattan project.

  • Fermi and teller

    They imitated the nuclear fusion reaction found in the sun to create a bomb with nuclear fission.

  • Plasma

    The first kiloampere plasma was made in Tokamak lab.

  • The Huemel Project

    Argentina claims that Project Huemel allows them to control nuclear fusion.

  • Ivy Mike

    Ivy Mike was the first thermonuclear device dropped by the USA, this device created a force of 62 tons.

  • Pinch devices

    This device tried to take reactions up to fusion levels without stability.

  • Tokamak

    Research for this system started in Kurchatov Moscow by soviet scientists. They were beginning to create destruction techniques.

  • Nobel prize in Physics

    Hans Bethe won nobel prize for explaining how fusion in stars work.

  • Farnsworth-Hirsch Fusor

    The inventors of this device claimed that it could be used to control nuclear fusion, but it only produces free neutrons.
