Fusor Forums

I donated my fusor to the University of Minnesota in November of 2012. Since then a group of Physics students, the Tesla group, has been working on the fusor and getting to know how to run the device. The most important development is that we managed to get our hands on a 2KW / 30 KV power supply. W...

If you are making only one cut, you can go to tile store near you and they will probably cut it for you. To cut my feedthrough, I went to a Color Tile shop and they did it for nothing.

Well, 72 hrs of sucking under the slab has pulled the Radon level in the basement down from 38.5 to 0.9 pCi//liter. Thats a 97% Reduction.

Remediation works!

Twenty one years of sucking bad air. I don't spend much time in the basement now, but in the past I have spent hours down there watching TV and my wife now sits down there for hours watching DVD's. $1,425.00 is not inexpensive, but remember the radon detector was under $100.00. At least now the hous...

<t>As of this writing I am having a sub slab suction system installed in my house to reduce the Radon levels. It consists of a 3" hole in the basement floor with ~5 gallons of dirt removed below the slab. The cavity is evacuated to the out side via a 3" PVC pipe and a fan. The goal is to establish a...
