Fusor |
|
| Goal / Teaching Aim | Physics and application of electro-static confinement, measurement of plasma parameters |
| Equipment | A self-build fusor experiment |
| Experiment | Design/construction/improvement and operation of a fusor experiment. |
| Fusion Relevance | The Fusor has been suggested as a simple alternative to magnetic confinement. Although on fundamental grounds this claim cannot be supported, interesting physics aspects appear, some of which have their counterpart in tokamaks as well |
A look inside the fusor showing a plasma inside the grid. The fusion reactions in this experiment produced just under 1 million neutrons per second.
