12 maj 2024 · Helium-3 has been described as the fuel of the future in fusion power plants. Its reaction with deuterium releases enormous amounts of energy, giving off harmless Helium-4 atoms without the...
25 mar 2024 · Interlune, a Seattle startup, would mine the moon for helium-3, a rare gas on Earth that could be priceless for quantum computing or medical imaging.
13 mar 2024 · By harvesting helium-3, which is rare and limited in supply on Earth, Interlune could help change that calculus by deriving value from resources on the Moon. But many questions about the...
26 mar 2021 · The M-3 miner was designed to excavate 1258 tonnes/hr with a bucket wheel excavator and process 556 tonnes/hr (during the lunar daytime) of <100 μm regolith through a 12 MW solar concentrator powered heat pipe heat exchanger (HPHX).
19 cze 2015 · Can our moon help fuel an energy-hungry Earth? Work is in progress to build equipment that can demonstrate the extraction of helium-3 (3He)–helium with two protons and one neutron–and other volatiles from the moon’s resource-rich soil known as regolith.
9 cze 2022 · This paper presents a new map of hydrogen abundances across the Moon. These data measure hydrogen abundances down to depths of tens of cm, in contrast to surface water measurements from visible and infrared light that are sensitive to the top tens of microns.
