Finaly I am picking up pace on my project and have made some progress. The following pictures show my progress:
I am Jamie Edwards, a 15 year old amateur nuclear scientist. 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.

New inner grid
Hello,
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.
