Recently I built a nuclear fusion reactor and attempted to become the youngest "fusioneer". I wouldn't be doing this without the financial support from my school, Penwortham Priory Academy.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09971848274171358389noreply@blogger.comBlogger10125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007925714481924755.post-58476629992052907362014-03-06T01:55:00.003-08:002014-03-06T01:55:43.076-08:00Neutrons!<span id="goog_298144807"></span><span id="goog_298144808"></span> Hello,<br />
Yesterday I successfully achieved fusion at 11:30 am, this was brilliant! I am waiting from fusor.net for conformation that i have actually done fusion but looking at the results I am almost certain I have.<br />
<br />
The following images shows me operating it the reactor<br />

<br />
The reactor consists of many parts, some of the main ones include the vacuum pumps, high voltage supply, vacuum chamber and deutirium system.<br />
<br />

I finished of bits of the high voltage system of and put the feedthroughs on the chamber. I am waiting now for me to go on a radiation saftey training course before I can operate the reactor fully.<br />
Below is a photo of me with my completed reactor<br />

This a very good pressure for the vacuum chamber to reach and is almost perfect for doing fusion. I would like to thank R&B Switchgear for supplying a three phase inverter for the mechanical pump.<br />

The above picture shows the guage right at the bottom of its scale showing the chamber is in vacuum.<br />

This panel is where I will control the reactor from. On the panel so far is the metering for the high voltage and current. And switches for all the vacuum pumps. Still to be attached is the vacuum guage controller, viewing for the reactor and nuetron detection.</div>

I have designed a new inner grid for my Fusor. For those who don't know the inner grid is a wire grid that is charged to a very high negative voltage. I have made the new grid from 1.5mm mild steel instead of 0.1mm tungsten. The tungsten was very hard to shape to the right shape for the grid as it had a tendency to snap and was very brittle.<br />

My diffusion pump arrived yesterday which at first I thought would be great but then disaster struck. I noticed a large dent in the side of the cooling fan casing therefore the fan blades could not spin. I wasn't surprised with the box in the state it was.(see pictures) The wasn't any packaging around the pump except for the original box witch customs had torn up. As you can guess I was quite annoyed.<br />
the following pictures show the setup with the diffusion pump. The pump isn't wired up yet as I may have to send it back.<br />

<div>
Hi there, this from now on will be how I can keep the world informed of my progress on my nuclear fusion project.</div>
<div>
After many months of looking for funding, I finally received funding from my school (Penwortham Priory Academy), so I now have a budget of £2000. I will be ordering parts in the next few days and hope to have most parts by this time next week. I am looking forward to starting construction and receiving the parts.</div>
<div>
Keep online for more updates.</div>
<div>
