Vol XXXI (No. 11), Nov 2004 New! Discussion Forum Global Editions: India U.S.A. U.K. Moon gas may bail out energy-starving Earth MIL, Nov 27, 2004. Henry Groover Scientists claimed on Friday that there is a potential gas source on the Moon, and if it is confirmed, it may bail out energy-starved Earth and the moon's surface could hold the key for meeting the future energy demands which is getting exhausted and the earth's fossil fuels drying up in the coming decades. The finding says that mineral samples from the moon has contained abundant amount of Helium 3, which is a variant of the gas used in lasers and refrigerators as well as to blow up balloons. "When compared to the earth, the moon has a tremendous amount of Helium 3," said Lawrence Taylor, a director of the US Planetary Geosciences Institute, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. "When Helium 3 combines with deuterium (an isotope of hydrogen), the fusion proceeds at a very high temperature and it can produce awesome amounts of energy," Taylor said. "Just 25 tonnes of helium, which can be transported on a space shuttle, is enough to provide electricity for the US for one year," said Taylor, who is in Udaipur to attend a global conference on moon exploration. When contacted Dr. Raj Baldev, Indian Cosmo theorist, he said, " The Moon orbits the Earth and accompanies it around the Sun. The brightest magnitude when full is # 12.7 diameter #2,160 mi. (3,476 km). Sun loses 40,000,000 tons of hydrogen per second in this process or 345,600 million tons per day, or 126 billion 144 thousand million tons a year. From here you can judge the energy of the Sun. "The source energy of Sun's nuclear reaction in the central core is calculated to have the temperature of 1,500,000 degree K. It is in the heart of the Solar System with 99.86 percent of all the mass of its system. Sun has 71% hydrogen and 27% helium plus 2% other gases. It forms a special pressure between 10 and 11 years and during this period, the Solar Winds carry extra Helium along with them and in this process some of it is invariably deposited not only on the surface of the Moon but also Mars, which has a rocky composition. "Helium 3 can be extracted from the soil and rocks of the Moon. Any planet or Moon having rocks must have Helium. About 200 million tones of lunar surface can produce one tonne of helium. The Helium that the Earth had from the Sun's Winds is getting exhausted, there is only 10 kilos of Helium available on the Earth and can last just for about 1700 years according to an estimate. The Moon can, therefore, feed the Earth."
