nuclear

nope youre wrong, its still a reaction.

who's wrong????????????????????????????????????????

Absolutly, I always get a reaction after I've had a dump.

are you sure that you dont mean, an erection?

No that comes during a dump.

Nuclear energy is Nuclear Energy. There are several different forms of energy (at a basic level);
Potential (e.g. when something is raised/lifted, squashed/stretched (elastic band))
Chemical (petrol, food),
Kinetic (when something is moving),
Thermal (hot stuff)
Radiant (light, infra-red, microwave, radio)
Sound (noise etc.)
Atomic (stuff that sticks atoms together)
Electrical (stuff from the plug socket)
probably more of them on a GCSE physics website...

It's all a bit bollocks really because it all boils down to a subatomic level and interactions between the atoms of different elements.

Anyhow, the stuff that happens in a nuclear power station is nuclear fission - usually a heavy nucleus [Uranium 235] is split into two smaller nuclei. This releases a few neutrons and a load of thermal energy. This thermal energy, as said above is used to heat water into steam and drive a turbine. The spare neutrons fly off and crash into another nucleus, which then splits, produces heat and releases more neutrons and so on - chain reaction.

HTH

D'you know I was only telling the wife that over tea.

what aboutl energy drinks?? what kind of energy do they have? would that be potential seeing as how you got to lift the bottle

no thats chemical energy. sugar is converted into power. (or stored as fat).
so if you drink one of these sports drinks and stay on the couch, you become a fat bastard.

bolocks its says its potential energy if something is lifted..
think i'll go and produce some potential energy by lifting my mechanics jugs

New Clear Days - album by the Vapors - has the classic "Turning Japanese" within those mesmerising concentric lines of vinyl

thats why ALL nuclear power stations always have to be near a vast amount of water, like the sea. cos it uses millions of gallons of water in the fusion process to create the steam that turns the turbines that creates the lecky that powers your curling tongs (freelander owners) or mig welder (series owners).

(now you can tell i didnt cut and paste the above from any 'how to' site)

yep - potential energy is relative. If you raise the energy drink above its previous height - it has more potential energy; If you lower it from its starting point, it has less. It also has chemical energy as it is a food, and has produced thermal energy from the drag of the surrounding air. Whilst it is in motion it has kinetic energy. You would also expend chemical energy [do work] to do the lifting, producing thermal energy.

food! food! who are you kinding??? how do you think mrs disco would feel if mr disco said" hi honey ! i've made dinner" and then gave a can of redbull??

disgusted. she was hoping for tizer.

i think youll find its fission and not fusion.
the sea water is required for cooling not steam generation. fresh water in a closed system is used for the steam. ie heat exchangers.

series owners use gas welding. not enough sound metal for mig welding.

don't know about fishing or fuseing but it splucking confusing

she was probelly hoping for something abit harder you know like a good stiff drink
