Dumaguete City | Death Star, The Artificial Sun of China

The Artificial Sun of China

You’ve read that correctly, an Artificial Sun. China has built and tested Artificial Sun. 

But the application of this technology is not to replace the actual Sun. Though it’s cool to think of it that way since China is a Superpower. But, China’s Artificial Sun has a more powerful purpose. It  is a Nuclear Fusion Reactor. A Tokamak Fusion Reactor.

It’s a massive nuclear fusion reactor called Artificial Sun. The Artificial Sun has reportedly generated temperatures 10 times hotter than the Sun’s surface. 

If you wear your conspiracy hat, do you think this is a death star that China will use to conquer the world? 

Well, my opinion is different from that. As you see, energy or electricity will be a problem in the future. 

We don’t want coal because it’s not sustainable and has damaging effects on the planet's temperature. Even China is distancing itself from the use of coal, or operating coal power plants and looking for better sources. Renewable energy sounds so fantastic, but it may not be enough for first world countries who gobble up megawatts like a black hole. The next option is to go nuclear.

In the 1930’s, scientists have known that the Sun and other stars use Nuclear Fusion to create energy. And they theorized, if safely replicated on Earth, it can be a source of clean and sustainable energy. Up until now, nuclear reactors operate using the Nuclear Fission process or the splitting of the atom. 

If China can operate the Artificial Sun to power a city, it’s an event equal to the release  of the iPhone during the era of resistive screens mobile. It will be a major breakthrough. They can choose to sell it to the world or keep it to themselves and speed up their country’s growth.

Only China knows how much they’ve achievaed in terms of using the Artificial Sun to power a city. But one thing is certain, China has successfully created a technology that mimics the Sun. Hence the name Artificial Sun. And we may be looking at one of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century.

System Loss Charges | Is it Real, Or a Pathetic Excuse to Make Money?

Image
What is System Loss Charge of your Electric Bill? Recently, a friend posted a question on Facebook asking why she has “System Loss” charges in her electric bill. And I responded and explained to her why we are slapped with these charges from our Electricity Distribution Utility. And in this article, I’ll share why there is a “system loss” charge in our electricity bill.  And to be clear, the article only talks about electricity in the Philippines. So what is the System Loss charge? There are two major components of the power system that produce system loss. First is the transmission line, and second the transformer. When electricity passes through a transmission line, it creates the loss referred to as copper loss. And when electricity also passes through the conductor of a transformer core, it creates what we call core loss.  So, the two system losses are core and copper loss. And from the term itself, these two are wasted power, or power that was produced but not consumed or sold by

The Simala Church - The Castle Near the Heavens

  The Simala Church - The Castle Near the Heavens The Simala Church It was close to 8-years ago since I last visited the Simala Church. I was happy that I was able to make the trip to Simala this week, and I was surprised to see a lot of changes. The church made huge renovations and I can notice more vendors now compared to before. The traditional sellers of bracelets, rosaries, and miracle water are still there. While the younger generation of vendors are selling tourist souvenir items. For those who are not familiar, Simala Church is a church in Sibonga, owned and operated by the Marian Monks of Eucharistic Adoration (MMEA), and its main patron saint is Mama Mary. It is famous among Catholics because of the countless miracles it offered, and the letter testimonies of these encounters are exhibited inside its halls. But, over the years, the visit to the Simala Shrine has not been exclusive to religious intents and is more like tourism. And in my recent visit, I have two observations t
