For our senior design project, my group built a deomonstration nuclear fusion reactor. We successfully generated plasma, a pre-cursor to fusion. It was puple but the camera picked it up as blue. Please note that this was completely done by amateurs.

  • @ElyanSun You are not as clever as you think you are!

  • It might have a blue glow, but Cherenkov radiation is nicer.

  • Fusion is safer, I'm sorry.

  • You can gather energy from these reactors much like a fission reactor we use today. Instead of radioactive material you use plasma and fusion to boil water and spin a stream turbine to generate energy. Fission is safer with little radiation and little to no chance of catastophic meltdown, or any melt down for that matter.

  • I am still not 100% clear on how we are going to gather energy from these reactions, any ideas, anyone, i want it to work, I just don't understand.

  • Wow you can make a fusion reaction with a laser pen and some wire. Awesome.

  • @Freeflyer91 First time I saw it in a cooling pond I was moved. Great colour.

  • While you are checking ... the place to look is Fusion Power Corporation's web site and view the YouTube video "StarPower for Tomorrow" !! This is real FUSION using Deuterium and Tritium. A solution to the energy problem that is real.

  • Our energy future is going to lie with Star Scientific's Muon Catalysed Fusion. Check out their you tube video " in the footsteps of fusion"

  • i`m not familiar with the scientific term but i think thats what i ment, :D great job
