Fusor Forums

Hello Patrick,

I downloaded your Multiplasma simulator and wondered if you could elaborate on the method you used to simulate particle motion. Did you use a PIC approach?

This question should be posted in the new user forum. Additionally, please respect the rules of the forum regarding your first post and user name.

As a side note, Fusor.net is a wonderful resource but showing you have put some effort into the answer always helps in getting a detailed response.

End of an era for electronic hobbyists in the western states ... Fry's Electronics is closing down permanently. https://www.frys.com/ I have equal memories of them being out of a component they said they had and having the component I needed to fix/save a project. I always thought Fry's was signific...

Finn, Is your supply current/voltage mode controlled, or is it an open loop? If you are using feedback, how did you design the resistor divider for the voltage feedback? I find that this is the most critical part when designing a closed-loop high voltage supply. It has to be the right balance of DC ...

Many will say, use small ID tubing and a needle valve.

I use a proportional valve, pressure gauge, and closed loop controller for pressure regulation (you can buy or make the electronics pretty simply). It's pretty great, to set the pressure and have it stay constant.

That's a meter not controller. Besides the label, you can tell because there's no proportional control valve.

I'm glad you are looking into this ... I've long held that the data supports anisotropy in many fusor setups (but not all)

The similarity isn't important at the short distance, it's that the anisotropy holds up at greater distances. Additionally, the cross-section of the tube presented to the source is a major factor, especially so close.

I'm hoping my neutron camera will provide some more insight into my setup.

6inches is probably too close to be sure... take a look at Jon R's post
