(I'll make the draw...just give me one second ) welcome back to war! I'm back to business! So what would you need to achieve fusion (without reaching break-even of course)?

Five Minute FUSOR

WRITTEN BY: GENERATOR MAN - JUN• 15•12
A fusor constructed with 5 minute epoxy. Nothing special here, just a proof of concept idea regarding the fesibility of hardware store epoxy in a high vacuum environment.

    A radiation shielding system.
    And a neutron detection system.. BTI bubble detector would work for this.
    ….and not to mention the seemingly endless minutia that associates itself with each one of those requirements.
  2. clagwell says:
    A stainless steel containment vessel, preferably with conflat flange type vacuum connections.
    A variable (and metered) DC power supply capable of 30kv at 50ma.
    A well metered vacuum system consisting of a roughing pump and a diffusion pump. Should be capable of drawing a vacuum down to 5 microns.
    A gas handling system to slowly meter in the deuterium.

  4. clagwell says:
    The amperage would be too low. A couple of old MOT’s in series have been known to work well.
  5. yo90bosses says:
    cauld i use a flyback transformer they put out arround 5-30kv dc and mine puts out around 2cm spark
  6. clagwell says:
    A 9kv NST would barely give you 6 – 7kv operating voltage. Any radiation would be much less than a walk in the park on a sunny day. Your biggest dangers are implosion and electrical shock.
  7. yo90bosses says:
    sorry for all the questions but i have a big one does this have any harmfull radiation or the sort and if yes do i just take a regular jar and put a vaccum and run 9000 volts though it
  8. clagwell says:
    No
  9. clagwell says:
    Simply put, yes. But dont expect self rectification with a chamber much bigger than pictured.
  10. omarnug says:
    Mmm, it looks purple. Does it produce UV radiations? And would they be harmful?
  11. yo90bosses says:
    so all i gotta do is get a chamber with a vaccum and run around +9000 volts
  12. clagwell says:
    Believe it or not, this fusor was self rectifying. Not too different from a 6BK4 shunt regulator tube. I powered it with an un-rectified NST.
    Its been 2 years since I last worked on that but I think it operated around 20-30 microns.
  13. clagwell says:
    A member of fusor.net has been conducting that experiment for the past month or so. Pics included.
    But not much, just two independent poissers.
  14. clagwell says:
    Its been 2+ years since I ran this thing, so if i recall correctly, it was a 9kv 30ma NST. No deuterium in this model, it would be a total waste as this was not designed to fuse. Only testing the vacuum properties of various epoxies.
  15. clagwell says:
    Just an air vacuum.
  16. yo90bosses says:
    is there a speicial gas in the chamber or is there just a high vacuum
  17. cowsrock94 says:
    Its cool how it “sparks” from the wall to the center. (i say sparks because im not sure what is jumping from the wall to the center)
  18. cowsrock94 says:
    very cool.
  19. Patriotgal1 says:
    VERY neat!! I’ve seen several “Farnsworth Fusors” online. Now, I have a new project, to add to mt Tesla Coil & Jacobs’ Ladder for my haloween party. 🙂
  20. Moretanks says:
    @clagwell
    What’s the input P.D. and current of this thing?
    Also, do you basically pump all the air and and then add it bit of deuterium?
  21. optionsnone says:
    What happens when you bring 2 fusors close together, preferably in the same vacuum chamber ?
  22. Desmonddd2002 says:
    hi, its a ETW type fusor with -ve charged end plates right? how many torr is there in the fusor?
  23. hermanliisgod1 says:
    Schematics por favor?
  24. iEugene1994 says:
    That’ll be cool to cook something in that thing.
