Yup, I built a nuclear fusion reactor | Taylor Wilson

So my name is Taylor Wilson.

Dakle, zovem se Tejlor Vilson.

I am 17 years old

Imam 17 godina

and I am a nuclear physicist,

i nuklearni sam fizičar,

which may be a little hard to believe, but I am.

što je malo teško za poverovati, ali jesam.

And I would like to make the case

I želeo bih da istaknem

that nuclear fusion

da će nuklearna fuzija

will be that point,

biti ta tačka,

that the bridge that T. Boone Pickens talked about

do koje će nas taj most o kome je T.Bun Pikens pričao

will get us to.

dovesti.

So nuclear fusion is our energy future.

Dakle nuklearna fuzija je naša energija budućnosti.

And the second point,

I drugo,

making the case that kids can really change the world.

da deca zaista mogu promeniti svet.

So you may ask --

Znači možete pitati -

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

You may ask me,

Možete me pitati,

well how do you know what our energy future is?

kako znaš sta će biti naša energija budućnosti?

Well I built a fusion reactor

Sagradio sam fuzijski reaktor

when I was 14 years old.

kad sam imao 14 godina.

That is the inside of my nuclear fusion reactor.

Ovo je unutrašnji deo mog nuklearnog fuzijskog reaktora.

I started building this project

Ovaj projekat sam počeo graditi

when I was about 12 or 13 years old.

kad sam imao oko 12 ili 13 godina.

I decided I wanted to make a star.

Odlučio sam da želim da napravim zvezdu.

Now most of you are probably saying,

E sad, mnogi od vas najverovatnije govore,

well there's no such thing as nuclear fusion.

nuklearna fuzija ne postoji.

I don't see any nuclear power plants with fusion energy.

Ne vidim ni jednu nuklearnu elektranu sa energijom fuzije.

Well it doesn't break even.

Pa nije baš isplativo.

It doesn't produce more energy out than I put in,

Ne proizvodi više energije nego što stavim u njega,

but it still does some pretty cool stuff.

ali i dalje izvodi neke stvarno kul stvari.

And I assembled this in my garage,

I sastavio sam ovo u svojoj garaži,

and it now lives in the physics department

i sad je na departmanu fizike

of the University of Nevada, Reno.

Univerziteta Nevada, Reno.

And it slams together deuterium,

On pravi sudare deuterijuma,

which is just hydrogen with an extra neutron in it.

koji je samo vodonik sa dodatnim neutronom u njemu.

So this is similar to the reaction

Dakle ovo je slično reakciji

of the proton chain that's going on inside the Sun.

lanca protona koji se odigrava unutar Sunca.

And I'm slamming it together so hard

I ja ih toliko jako sudaram

that that hydrogen fuses together,

da se taj vodonik spaja,

and in the process it has some byproducts,

i u tom procesu ima neke nus-proizvode,

and I utilize those byproducts.

i ja te nus-proizvode iskoristim.

So this previous year,

Tako sam prethodne godine,

I won the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.

pobedio na Intel Internacionalnom sajmu nauke i inženjerstva.

I developed a detector that replaces the current detectors

Razvio sam detektor koji menja postojeće detektore

that Homeland Security has.

koje Državna Bezbednost ima.

For hundreds of dollars,

Za stotine dolara,

I've developed a system that exceeds the sensitivity

razvio sam sistem koji prevazilazi senzitivnost

of detectors that are hundreds of thousands of dollars.

detektora koji su stotine hiljada dolara.

I built this in my garage.

Sagradio sam ga u svojoj garaži.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

And I've developed a system

I razvio sam sistem

to produce medical isotopes.

koji proizvodi medicinske izotope.

Instead of requiring multi-million-dollar facilities

Umesto traženja multimilionerskih objekata

I've developed a device that, on a very small scale,

razvio sam napravu koja, u veoma malom broju,

can produce these isotopes.

može da proizvede ove izotope.

So that's my fusion reactor in the background there.

Dakle ovo je moj fuzijski reaktor tamo u pozadini.

That is me at the control panel

Ovo sam ja za kontrolnim panelom

of my fusion reactor.

mog fuzijskog reaktora.

Oh, by the way, I make yellowcake in my garage,

O, uzgred, pravim "žuti kolač" u svojoj garaži,

so my nuclear program is as advanced as the Iranians.

dakle moj nuklearni program je napredan kao iranski.

So maybe I don't want to admit to that.

Pa možda ne želim to da priznam.

This is me at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland,

Ovo sam ja u CERN-u u Ženevi, Švajcarska,

which is the preeminent particle physics laboratory in the world.

koji je najeminentnija laboratorija atomske fizike u svetu.

And this is me with President Obama,

Ovo sam ja sa predsednikom Obamom,

showing him my Homeland Security research.

pokazujem mu svoje istraživanje za Državnu Bezbednost.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

So in about seven years

Dakle za otprilike sedam godina

of doing nuclear research,

bavljenja nuklearnim istraživanjem,

I started out with a dream

krenuo sam sa snom

to make a "star in a jar," a star in my garage,

da napravim "čudo u tegli", zvezdu u garaži,

and I ended up meeting the president

a završio sam upoznajući predsednika

and developing things that I think can change the world,

i razvijajući stvari za koje mislim da mogu promeniti svet

and I think other kids can too.

i mislim da to i druga deca mogu.

So thank you very much.

Hvala vam najlepše.

(Applause)
