Fusor: First arcs

Today is a very exciting day for me. I achieved first arcs in my demo fusor. It wont be fully online for 2-3 days still as i am waiting on a better vacuum but i will have an updated version as soon as it's working

If you connect 2 fridge compressors in series you get a 2 stage vacuum pump which can achieve deeper vacuums. You would also get a deeper vacuum if you connected the hose properly to the compressor.

@Arnthorg i've thought about using 2 compressors but it's easier to just buy a good 2 stage pump as i'll need it for my next model anyway. also it is connected properly it may not seem that way in the video but i've made a bunch of changes since this was released

This video (and all of his) needs more views , and more likes .

@gehtomacgyver i totally agree :P it will definitely help when the website comes online but ya tell your friends spread it around

@TheChemlife Dude , one step ahead of you . I wish we could get nerd rage to do that channel of the month thing ( or what ever he was calling it ) it's *in case you don't already know * where he talks about other scientist and what they do .

@gehtomacgyver he already promoted me by putting me on his channel box thing

Sadly, this is not first light but first arc. You don't have the pressures for fusion plasma nor the spacing in the grid... hence the plasma discharge from metal to metal. First light is a plasma gas contained within the grid's space. Do more research and come back.

@nobetachannel1 Look up "oppenheimer philips proscess", the proscess by which target nuclei become radioactive when bombarded with deuterons. BTW, one trillion deuterons is only about 4x10^-12g of deuterium gas, it's not as much as you think. Tritium is a hydrogen isotope, right? It has the chemical properties of hydrogen right? So it must oxidize in an atmosphere of pure oxygen. Helium is left behind because it's inert, the tritiated water can be condensed and used.

@nobetachannel1 P32 can be made by bombarding a piece of sulfur with deuterons. Deuterons are unique because the proton will face away from the target nucleus exposing a bare neutron that will have a higher probability of fusing with a target nucleus. The difference is that you can accelerate deuterons through an electric field, this cannot be done with neutrons. Sure you would need a flux of quadrillions of deuterons to get a half decent yield, I know that.

@yellowmetalcyborg Also (I ran out of space), in the same paragraph about the D2O you said you separate the tritium from the helium by burning the H-He mix in the presence of oxygen?! I'm not even going to respond to that in an intelligent manor because the intelligence of that statement equals 0. Seriously read up before you start talking out your ass on topics you don't have the faintest idea about.
