Maybe we can figure out in a general way Just what is going on with atomic energy, atoms and so forth. An atom a few years ago was the smallest bit of matter that science thought existed. But lately that is, within the present lifetime of some of our grandparents scientists have discovered that even atoms are made up of smaller things, like electrons, protons and so forth. And when an atom is broken up these smaller things become energy. Everyone knows what energy is. Energy is power it runs our cars, makes our electric lights burn, heats our food. When a lot of energy is released at once, things begin to happen. An explosion is a sudden release of energy. An ordinary glass of drinking water furnishes power. Usually we use just a tiny bit of this power in our bodies. The vbatcr provides chemical energy to keep us alive. But If all the power were turned loose, that glass of water could drive a steamship across the Atlantic. Even a single drop of water contains far mure energy than a large stick of dynamite. A glass of water contains about Bhutan la a KINGDOM, making it a renter for our diamond. The second word ia "a courtesy title," the third "a tendon, the fifth "a fortification," and the sixth "was victorious."

Remove the drawer from the cover and place the cover on top of the drawer as shown in Figure 1 of the diagram. Your problem is to change the pieces so that the drawer is on top of the cover, but you cannot touch the drawer. After your friends have tried the trick, you can do it very simply, by putting your mouth to the opening of the rover, suck in your breath so that the drawer is held fast to the cover by vacuum. Now straighten up, hold your head back and lift the cover with the drawer on top as shown in Figure 2. Set the pieces carefully down on the table and youre a whiz.

Helium has two marbles buzzing around its baseball and hydrogen has only one. We'd expect that to make helium from hydrogen wed Just join two hydrogen atoms. But atoms arent like things we know. One and one don't make two, for a very good reason. The helium nucleus (the baseball) is four times as heavy as the hydrogen nucleus and so it is therefore made up of four hydrogen nuclei (baseballs). So it takes the baseballs of four hydrogen atoms and the marbles of two to make one helium atom. That leaves two marbles as the remainder. Weve seen that when the pieces of an atom have no work to do they become energy, which is pretty hot stuff. So two electrons become energy and that's the principle of the hydrogen bomb. The way the bomb is made is secret, of course, but we know it takes a to!! DO-I- T lot of energy and this must be supplied by splitting up a larger atom the atom of one of the heavier elements such as uranium or plutonium. So we must destroy an atom to build an atom. Although its big news that atomic energy has been released in a bomb, the biggest news will be the discovery of how the hundred million horses in the atoms of a glass of water can be used to power the constructive things of life. Some of this power is being used now, but the biggest things are yet to come. l.Cut g strip 3 inches tion a widg tfCREftl 2.

If we split up this nucleus, this energy is not needed any more and Is released as heat, electricity, light or even radio waves.

The marble is held to the baseball (in our atom) by the same force that holds the moon to the earth and the earth to the sun.
