Re: CF vs KF flanges
<t>Hi Rob, I was in the same position that you are when I first started my fusor (in 2008). I had two jobs at the time. One for each of my loves, the fusor, and a girl @___@. You're right that KF (aka NW aka QF) is much cheaper than ConFlat, and that CF takes more work to use than KF. What I did and...

Re: I believe first neutrons.
<t>Hi Tanner, I have been watching your progress including the silver activation, your first post regarding the BTI bubble detector, and of course this thread. I believe you have produced free neutrons from the fusion of deuterium with itself. SO...Congratulations! As Carl has already said, you shou...

Re: Vacuum Pumps, can it be good AND cheap?
<t>Hey Rob, <br/> Any of the Welch DUO Seal pumps will be quite sufficient for you needs. A brand new single stage duo seal may actually be able to get you down secondary pump pressures (sub 100 micron). A brand new one is quite costly however. You're going to be better off with a 2 stage one. I per...

It'd take 10^11 2.4MeV Neutrons to light up a 3V / 20mA LED, and running a really smoking fusor at 10^7 N/s for a few hours one could power an LED for a second or so!

Re: Turning metals transparent
<t>Haha yes of course; the giant laser has to aligned prepped and fired, just to turn the lights on! <br/> <br/> But I was thinking in terms of a completely optical computer. Hasn't that been the crux of fiber optics? In the end the signal has to processed back into an electronic signal? Think of th...

Re: Turning metals transparent
Possibly a starting point towards an all photo transistor?

Re: "STARFIRE" Sesselmann-Hendron Ion Source Published
As a note to others, the first few times I tried to read the patent, there was a server error. You may have to refresh a few times to actually get the link to work.

Re: Cathode? I don't need no stinking cathode!
<t>Dan,<br/> Excellent work - especially on the cheapo pressure cooker fusor. <br/> <br/> Geo,<br/> Why bother with two power supplies? I think you could take a transformer, bridge the output, and connect the positive side of the bridge to the anode, and the negative to the cathode. Since the e-fiel...

Re: names
You have to go to "profile" in the top right, and change the info there.
