Designed by researchers at Bangor University, Trisofuel could help provide energy not only on the moon and Mars, but both here on Earth.
India’s successful moon landing makes lunar historyGiven its size and relative power, a resource like Trisofuel could be vital to lunar bases’ success. With its portability, however, the new nuclear fuel cell could easily be adapted to a range of other scenarios, both here on Earth and beyond. Phylis Makurunje, a researcher involved Trisofuel testing, explained to thethat the tiny fuel pellets could be used to power rockets that one day take humans to Mars.
Trisofuel may be so strong, in fact, that it could nearly halve the time it takes to reach the Red Planet—from an estimated nine months down to between four-to-six months. “Nuclear power is the only way we currently have to provide the power for that length of space travel,” Bangor University professor Simon Middleburgh“The fuel must be extremely robust and survive the forces of launch and then be dependable for many years.
At a much more localized level, researchers believe that micro generators running Trisofuel could also be deployed to disaster zones with compromised electrical grids. Having a reliable, powerful fuel source is one thing—having structures to house such systems is another hurdle altogether. Of course, researchers are currently hard at work optimizing construction options for proposed lunar base designs. Potential building materials could even be drawn from the moon itself, using lunar regolith to
