E2-12: FUSION MODEL
- ID Code: E2-12
- Purpose: Demonstrate how nuclei attract each other if they come close enough together.
- Description:
Let the magnets snap together as you discuss how they do work and in the process become slightly less massive, as in E=mc^2. Then discuss the analogy to protons combining to form deuterium and then helium while releasing energy.
