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 ...

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 ...

“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 ...

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 ...
