What would be the outcome and what speeds would be needed to create a reaction?
Drakkith said:Are you talking about nuclear fusion?
SeanM1990 said:Can you answer the question?

Refined:
Could H and He be converted into plasma state and collided with other H and He particles within a cubic metre to produce propulsion? What Speeds are needed to create the collision and temperature to create a plasma state.
A plasma and light atom collision is a type of interaction between two particles - a plasma particle and a light atom. A plasma particle is a charged gas particle, while a light atom is a neutral atom. When these two particles collide, energy is exchanged and various physical processes can occur.
Plasma and light atom collisions typically occur in high-temperature environments, such as in stars or in laboratory experiments using high-energy lasers. These collisions can also occur in the Earth's upper atmosphere, where the ionosphere contains both plasma particles and light atoms.
During a plasma and light atom collision, the plasma particle transfers energy to the light atom, causing it to become excited or ionized. This can result in the emission of light or heat, or the creation of new particles. The exact outcome depends on the properties of the particles and the conditions of the collision.
Plasma and light atom collisions have many applications in fields such as astrophysics, plasma physics, and materials science. These collisions can also be harnessed for practical uses, such as in plasma-based technologies like plasma TVs, fusion reactors, and plasma etching for microchip production.
Scientists use a variety of experimental and theoretical techniques to study plasma and light atom collisions. These include laser spectroscopy, particle accelerators, and computer simulations. By studying these collisions, scientists can gain a better understanding of the fundamental properties of matter and the behavior of complex systems.
