The Farnsworth Fusor is a fascinating device, a reactor that fuses hydrogen into helium by creating a plasma under a very high voltage. Although it isn’t a practical way to generate energy, it is a ...

Central to all life on Earth, is the burning fusion ball we call the sun. Fusion requires such specific conditions, that ...

“I soon discovered I could do a DIY nuclear fusor.” An entire community of scientists of all ages is trying to build fusors. While a lot of teens are spending their time on Facebook or Twitter, Steven ...

We’ve seen our fair share of Farnsworth–Hirsch fusors over the years — these high-voltage devices can get ions cooking to the point of achieving nuclear fusion even on a hobbyist’s budget, and even ...

Great Ball of Fire description The history of fusion power is also a history of scientific frustration. Youngster Thiago Olsen built a safe, fully functional fusion reactor while in high school, but ...

Fusion research is known for its huge projects -- and its huge lack of tangible success. Big machines like the Princeton tokamak and the Livermore laser have indeed managed to fuse a few nuclei, but ...

WILBRAHAM – Will Caruana, 25, a member of the town's Finance Committee and Broadband Committee, said he has been inducted into a plasma club. The club is for people who have created stable plasma ...
