Fusor Forums

Button on front page of fusor.net works.

Still can't get it to work. I hit the donate button and it takes me to a screen saying "securely logging you in.." with a spinning circle. The spinning circle never stops spinning.

The reports from the Kyoto group of greatly enhanced neutron production were for a titanium anode. In more recent work with a cylindrical fusor, they also used a titanium cathode, but it was a tubular cathode and not a wire grid.. A titanium wire grid cathode would definitely be expected to outgas w...

Richard, do you know a specific model number NIM module that will do pulse width detection? I am not familiar with one that has this specific function.

As discussed here previously, and in my own experience as well, counting neutrons using a Helium-3 detector is fraught with difficulty due to electrical pulses from arcing in a fusor. There are sophisticated methods to do peak discrimination, but I just came across a clever solution that makes use o...

The 21st US-Japan Workshop on Fusion Neutron Sources and Applications (formerly called Workshop on IEC Fusion) was held last month in Kyoto. Unfortunately, I did not attend; but I did see the list of presentations. Most notable to me was an increasing shift from spherical devices to linear devices b...

With the holiday past, I've been able to turn my attention back to my DP5/PC5. Unfortunately, I did not print the responses that were lost on this thread, which addressed issues of powering the boards. Mine will not power up from the USB connection, either with or without the PC5 attached. My intent...

For high voltage use of RG213, in regard to removing the shield at the end, it is good practice to reduce the field gradient between the cut end of the shield and the inner conductor by putting an o-ring over the shield and then folding the cut end of the shield back over the o-ring. This is somewha...

There were some posts to this thread lost. It would be nice if those posting have saved copies they could repost.

There is a good deal available on eBay on current generation Amptek digital pulse processor boards. These are the Amptek DP5/PC5 board combination (see Amptek.com). The DP5 includes an analog prefilter, an ADC, a digital pulse processor and a multichannel analyzer. It is designed to accept a radiati...
