Farnsworth invented the 'fusor' reactor and it looked very similar to this reactor. Google fusor. Unfortunately this type of electrostatic, inertial, confinement reactor does not produce more energy out than input. They are mostly built by experimenters and universities for education and for a source of neutrons.
Have you tried pulsed DC and compressed frequency. It came to me that you are over loading the device. Try a capacitance system that is tuned to the output.
For all you dumb people, almost every scientist in the world knows how to do a fusion reaction. The problem is that the current method is not cost effective. Meaning more energy is put into the reaction than (harvarstable) energy is produced.
All he's built is a very pretty toy. Plasma =/= Fusion. You see plasma every day. Fire is plasma, neon signs are plasma, fluorescent lights are plasma. It's very cool to look at, but it's not fusion. There is no way in hell this produces fusion. It's literally impossible. The kind of heat and pressure needed to induce fusion is so immense, his house would be a glowing crater about 6 miles in diameter right now if he had managed it. Einstein rolled over in his grave when this video was uploaded.
@WASDLeftClick You really need to learn about fusion before you embarrass yourself like this.
This type of machine makes fusion reactions on a very small scale (if fed deuterium) in most universities EVERY DAY. It doesn't make more energy than is put in... but neither does the Tokamak.
If you want to see something really interesting, check out Robert Bussard's IEC wiffleball.
@hardstyle905 what's misleading about it? it explicitly says "demonstration" it shows how it works in principle. besides there is a newer video of an actual working reactor. get out a bit more mate
Russia and the US have been trying to get more output energy than the initial one you used, this kid just uses energy for a shiny result :P still pretty impressive
@Heathh49008 Thing is, most people see "fusion reactor" as the general term used to describe the solution to the energy crisis, and think its impossible for a kid to do it in his basement. Its important for them to understand that while fusion does occur in these types of devices, the energy to get there FAR exceeds the amount of energy released in fusion. It is a very cool project though.
@highvoltagefeathers I understand their confusion. I just don't feel the need to tolerate these fools insulting the efforts of a very dedicated young man who built his own fusor.
Seeing this good man called a liar by these morons makes me angry...
the fact that you believe some cunt can produce fusion in their garage proves the level of reasoning you operate on. i literally don't need to go any deeper than that.
Why the fuck are you here commenting on technology you don't understand? You surf Bermuda Triangle vids all day, and have the gall to come here and critique a fusor design? You amazing fucktard!
Try doing some research before you open your fucking mouth.
@BrokenMaddie It was a basic source for info in simple language you could understand. You know, because you're a fucking moron... As for scholarly references you won't read either, and wouldn't understand if you tried: Journal of Applied Physics Issue Date: Oct 1967 Volume: 38 Issue:11 On page(s): 4522 - 4534 ISSN: 0021-8979 Cited by : 14 Digital Object Identifier: 10.1063/1.1709162 Date of Current Version: 06 July 2009 Have fun you fucking mouth breathing luddite.
@BrokenMaddie I was accepted to Embry Riddle and seriously considered AE... I decided not to be even more in debt AND unemployed. AEs are turned out in large numbers by the AF Academy and the market has been flooded for years.
The only differences are Aircraft Structures, Aircraft Powerplant, and a few other A&P level classes that separate the two. But you don't know that, because you're full of fucking shit, and digging an even larger hole.
And to be blunt, I know a whole shitload more about fusion than you do.
For a start, you do know that you are discussing the alleged existence of "DIY amateur fusion" in a comments section for a video of a toy? I mean, it kinda even says it in the info.
@BrokenMaddie You know jack fucking shit about fusion. You cannot separate a simple demonstration fusor, from the silly "home made free energy" snake oil made fun of by "Opie and Anthony"
This is because you are a fucking moron. You don't understand anything about either, so to you they are the same.
Come on over to the "talk polywell" board and we can discuss basic fusors... I have the same SN there. I have been there for a few years now.
it's a fucking lightbulb, dummy. it even states under the video THIS CAN NOT PRODUCE FUSION.
dumb fuck. go and design a bridge. the only "reaction force" you will ever understand is the painful reaction of your anus when your Dad FORCES his cock into you.
and really, I know that you think that your pseudo-scientific understanding of physics counts as "knowledge", but it really doesn't.
You may be able to demonstrate your OWN understanding of fusion in a short paragraph, but I am not going to attempt it. (i am saying that you total understanding of real life physics could be fit inside of a single Tweet).
@BrokenMaddie You don't understand what a Farnsworth Fusor is...
But your knowledge of fusion technology is to vast to describe....
That's one way to put it.
Another way would be you are a complete fucking moron who has trolled into oblivion.
You insignifi-cunt semi-literate pustule.
(Honestly, it's just fun insulting you knowing that as soon as you learn ANYTHING about basic fusion demonstrators you will know you made an ass out of yourself)
I think the point I made , was that the device in this video is not producing ANY fusion. The second point, is that some noob mechanical engineer isn't going to produce fusion in his mom's basement.
But you seem to be involved in some other conversation.
So get back to your faggy 2nd moment of inertia, and enjoy the bending moment experienced by your Dad's cock as it glides up your hole.
@BrokenMaddie - you should know what a farnsworth fusor is, cause you're your own grandpa you sick stalker paedo channel-cloning schizo. kill yourself.
@BrokenMaddie You're wrong, and extremely outspoken. You, along with about 98% of the world fail to understand what this reactor is, and what it demonstrates. Fusion IS happening in this reactor, and in reactors around the globe, as it has been for quite awhile. The REASON its not a power source is because these devices don't produce nearly enough fusion to justify the energy needed to operate the device. I could build it, and so could you, if you weren't too damn stubborn to RESEARCH anything
@Lenangreal it's easy to get tritium you just have to find some old exit signs that use the powder tubes,they contain tritium oxide,beware tritium oxide is radioactive use lead sheilded gloves and apron,sheilded facemasks and gas masked rated for heavy radioactive dust. never underestimate the power of radiation.
@burn19ballz Um... tritium oxide is water. Heavy water. Not a dust. Deuterium and Tritium are just Hydrogen with one and two neutrons, respectively. So tritium oxide is H2O.
Fusion through confinement is half a century away from being sustainable, nevermind economical.
Fusion through thermonuclear devices, on the other hand, is extremely easy and could be developped into prototype borehole-type reactors within a few years. See PACER for details. Of course, because something like this involves making bombs (although for peaceful purposes), it's doubtful the world will ever see Fusion in this manner and as such, we'll just have to wait for confinement to work.
@Texmurphy51 It is hard to detect sarcasm. For the machines, it does do fusion and they are a good source of neutrons which companies use I think for measuring steel sheet thickness, I think. The machines are a cheaper alternative to californium 252.
@Texmurphy51 actually nobody wants to find a cure for the common cold, the human rhinoviruses are actually good for the immune system and besides there are several anti-viral drugs that effectively 'cure' colds but it would be very irresponsible to use them to treat cold and none are currently approved for treatment of colds.
@mimic58 It would be hard to break laws making a fusor reactor ( this isn't even an actual fusor, just a demonstration of plasma confinement). Now if you were to make a light water reactor you might be getting into some dangerous territory, a neutron gun you are probably asking for trouble, a full blown breeder reactor you are likely going to be doing jail time on the order of years in federal prison (if you don't kill yourself doing it that is). More people do this than you might think.

you are creating too many arcs there aren't you? i guess you better fix this before trying to put some deuterium gas or something there because the metal gases released through sputtering might contaminate the atmosphere... IMHO
so what is this exactly?cold fusion?hot fusion?thought cold fusion used a platimun coil around a palladium rod in a heavy water soultion,so this is a step to hot fusion?plasma?what do you use the vaccume for?you vaccume out the air ,then replace it with some kind of gas?an ionized gas?sort of like those glass balls that you touch and the plasma goes to your hand like they sell at spancer gifts and whatnot,like in the gooniesin their attic,is this similar to that?
The test for nuclear fusion realisation on Tokamak's installations and with LASER cannot bring anything new for the energetics' future. I bind the thermonuclear controlled reactor schedule by the Sun model , by the reactive electromagnetic motor schedule from Palenque stone's tombe. You see the my project for thermonuclear controlled reactor.
@TheMaster734 you can recycle it, that's what france does, they are almost 100% nuclear, and by most calculations we have about 40000 years worth of energy saved as uranium deposits in the US alone
by means of inverted magnetic gradients (the magnetic field having maximal value, on a closed surface far from the wall), and he did this with a friend of his, for less than 10000€ all included. his video is named: "Présentation de Jean-Pierre Petit au Colloque international de MHD de Corée" on youtube. Just send him a mail (contact page of his site), and he will answer you. He is more experienced with MHD than with high-energy ions, but still!
I knew about cold fusion, muon catalyzed fusion, and of course tokamaks and lasers, but I had never stumbled on this one so far! I think you could make really good friends with Jean-Pierre Petit (check him on google, he has a website that he feeds regularly - but mostly in French, unfortunately), as he does quite similar high voltage at-home plasma experiments, with incredibly low funding. His latest experimentent involved confinement of a glow discharge near the walls of an object (...)
@Dri0m I would guess that the main danger from this type of setup would be X-ray emition with no sheilding or lead jacket it will potencialy cause you harm, But im sure this kid is aware of that
And if it is what? Should necesary be legal? He have some money, some materials, and his brain to do that. And if he can make and have a 500 Giga tonnes thermonuclear bomb in his back yard, happy for tidbit77 for the new possesion :D . I don't give a damn if is legal or not, what's important is the the tehnology and new inventions ;)
What do you plan on using your fusor for? My friend and I are looking for a techy project to work on, and a fusor would be pretty nifty. Aside from looking totally awesome and brag factor, and make neutrons (and there are cheaper and easier ways to do that), is there any useful research you can do with one of these?
Is that copper for your negative first electrode? And positive electrode? and then is second negative Chicken wire? What voltages are you running and ac or dc, Also what kind of vacuum is it in (psi). That's really cool and i may make one with a computer power supply, A vacuum pump A mason jar , some marine sealant and copper and chicken wire., Did you use any really expensive parts?
I like your enthusiasm, but you are perhaps underestimating the project. The vacuum shouldn't really be measured in PSI, but Torr. I am running this at ~150mTorr in the video (.0029 psi). My new fusor can reach pressures of <1mTorr. A computer supply is not enough voltage. You need probably at least 1000v to get a good discharge, whereas a computer suply outputs a regulated 12vDC. I am running this at around 6000-7800v, and my new reactor 30,000v-48,000v.
Nope, my mechanical pump takes me down to about 110 millitorr now, and my diffusion pump (not used on this reactor) allows me to hit pressure around .01 millitorr.You don't need a cryopump.
@Tidbit77 Ah. I might be thinking in the wrong multiple of ten... I work for an engineering firm and we do thin film deposition in sputtering machines with various types of plasma, and all our pumps are cryogenic, which I though was necessary to get down to those pressures, but like i said, maybe im thinking another decimal place lower or something. or the poeple i work with are spending too much money on LN2 :D
The inner grid is made of stainless steel, the outer from copper rod.. Marine sealant will outgas terribly when bombarded by ions. If I purchased everything brand new, it would have cost alot. The vacuum pump I am using costs close to $3000 new iirc, but I got it for free.
Currently I am a sophomore in high school with a passion for nuclear physics, however I may soon begin post secondary research at Kent State University.
While cold fusion may be possible, its has not been well supported by experiment, and even if it is possible, I highly doubt it would come close to being a a viable energy source. However I must say the same of the Fusor; it is not coming anywhere near breakeven, however it is still far more powerful than claimed LENR reactors.
@Sunburntpenguino Yes, and I was able to buy everything for my fusor Mk. II as well. It is nearing completion, and I am doing plasma tests now. Good luck with your endeavors.
You're telling us that you have a fusion reactor and the world's top scientists can't figure it out with 1000 foot long laser and microscopic aligning equipment.
Scientists have been doing nuclear fusion for a long time. This type of reactor, which uses inertial electrostatic confinement for fusion, was pioneered by Philo T. Farnsworth, and later worked on by Robert Hirsch.
However, nobody has been able to sustain a reaction (and contain it) that produces more output energy from the fusion than is input. That is what they are trying to do with lasers at NIF.
The current reactor I have, as said in this video, is not doing fusion. I need a higher voltage supply, a metal chamber, deuterium, and a high vacuum pump to do easily DETECTABLE fusion. I recently have just acquired or made all of these things. Ideally, I'll be doing detectable fusion within a few weeks. This reactor merely accelerates air or another gas in the same way as an IECFR, but they do not actually fuse together. In my new system, deuterium ions will.
hey, how old are anyway? this is coming from someone who doesn't realy know what he is talking about, but have you tried putting a magnet up to it during the reaction? it was my understanding that plasma is subject to being affected by magnetic fields.
@williamhad Yeah, I guess I do, although, I like to consider myself a nerd with a life lol. I think I also had a sinus infection when I filmed this, which didn't help much haha.

@Texmurphy51 actually nobody wants to find a cure for the common cold, the human rhinoviruses are actually good for the immune system and besides there are several anti-viral drugs that effectively 'cure' colds but it would be very irresponsible to use them to treat cold and none are currently approved for treatment of colds.

Ok then why in the title of the video is it called a...
Nuclear Fusion Reactor????
The original intent of Farnsworth was to generate power using Fusion.
That sure sounds like a fusion generator to me

@mimic58 It would be hard to break laws making a fusor reactor ( this isn't even an actual fusor, just a demonstration of plasma confinement). Now if you were to make a light water reactor you might be getting into some dangerous territory, a neutron gun you are probably asking for trouble, a full blown breeder reactor you are likely going to be doing jail time on the order of years in federal prison (if you don't kill yourself doing it that is). More people do this than you might think.

Just send him a mail (contact page of his site), and he will answer you. He is more experienced with MHD than with high-energy ions, but still!

I knew about cold fusion, muon catalyzed fusion, and of course tokamaks and lasers, but I had never stumbled on this one so far! I think you could make really good friends with Jean-Pierre Petit (check him on google, he has a website that he feeds regularly - but mostly in French, unfortunately), as he does quite similar high voltage at-home plasma experiments, with incredibly low funding. His latest experimentent involved confinement of a glow discharge near the walls of an object (...)

What do you plan on using your fusor for? My friend and I are looking for a techy project to work on, and a fusor would be pretty nifty. Aside from looking totally awesome and brag factor, and make neutrons (and there are cheaper and easier ways to do that), is there any useful research you can do with one of these?
machinalabs 1 year ago
Is that copper for your negative first electrode? And positive electrode? and then is second negative Chicken wire? What voltages are you running and ac or dc, Also what kind of vacuum is it in (psi). That's really cool and i may make one with a computer power supply, A vacuum pump A mason jar , some marine sealant and copper and chicken wire., Did you use any really expensive parts?
32sane 1 year ago
@32sane
I like your enthusiasm, but you are perhaps underestimating the project. The vacuum shouldn't really be measured in PSI, but Torr. I am running this at ~150mTorr in the video (.0029 psi). My new fusor can reach pressures of <1mTorr. A computer supply is not enough voltage. You need probably at least 1000v to get a good discharge, whereas a computer suply outputs a regulated 12vDC. I am running this at around 6000-7800v, and my new reactor 30,000v-48,000v.
Tidbit77 1 year ago
@Tidbit77 you would need a cryogenic compression unit to get pressures that low... how did you get your hands on one?
Aeoura 1 year ago
@Aeoura
Nope, my mechanical pump takes me down to about 110 millitorr now, and my diffusion pump (not used on this reactor) allows me to hit pressure around .01 millitorr.You don't need a cryopump.
Tidbit77 1 year ago
@Tidbit77 Ah. I might be thinking in the wrong multiple of ten... I work for an engineering firm and we do thin film deposition in sputtering machines with various types of plasma, and all our pumps are cryogenic, which I though was necessary to get down to those pressures, but like i said, maybe im thinking another decimal place lower or something. or the poeple i work with are spending too much money on LN2 :D
Aeoura 1 year ago
@32sane
The inner grid is made of stainless steel, the outer from copper rod.. Marine sealant will outgas terribly when bombarded by ions. If I purchased everything brand new, it would have cost alot. The vacuum pump I am using costs close to $3000 new iirc, but I got it for free.

Currently I am a sophomore in high school with a passion for nuclear physics, however I may soon begin post secondary research at Kent State University.
While cold fusion may be possible, its has not been well supported by experiment, and even if it is possible, I highly doubt it would come close to being a a viable energy source. However I must say the same of the Fusor; it is not coming anywhere near breakeven, however it is still far more powerful than claimed LENR reactors.

@HedgehogStudios1
Scientists have been doing nuclear fusion for a long time. This type of reactor, which uses inertial electrostatic confinement for fusion, was pioneered by Philo T. Farnsworth, and later worked on by Robert Hirsch.
However, nobody has been able to sustain a reaction (and contain it) that produces more output energy from the fusion than is input. That is what they are trying to do with lasers at NIF.

unix001 1 year ago
@unix001
The current reactor I have, as said in this video, is not doing fusion. I need a higher voltage supply, a metal chamber, deuterium, and a high vacuum pump to do easily DETECTABLE fusion. I recently have just acquired or made all of these things. Ideally, I'll be doing detectable fusion within a few weeks. This reactor merely accelerates air or another gas in the same way as an IECFR, but they do not actually fuse together. In my new system, deuterium ions will.
