Fusor Forums

I found another source of silver foil that I bought from a couple months ago. www.riogrande.com -- a jewellery materials supplier I bought a piece 2" x 6" x .010" .999 silver. It was about $24 shipped. I then cut it into 3 pieces 2" square. I'm not sure if it is an option for buyers outside of the U...

The video is very well done.

Not fusor-related, but I'm curious what editing software was used? Was it done on a Mac, PC, etc. ?

Richard, thanks for another great discussion of the realities of things that might matter. I think I was aware of the stuff you just described from reading several earlier posts. Unless anyone else adds anything enlightening, I guess I'll go back to not worrying about why Paschen curves don't seem t...

When I posted a reply to Dave on Tue Apr 26, 2016 11:50 am, I also asked a question that nobody commented on. Basically, what I understand as normal operating pressure for a fusor seems to be below any part of Paschen curves that I have seen. I was hoping that someone would tell me I got something w...

Did you make any effort to get and read the user manual? A quick web search found this on the manufacturer site... http://www.instrutechinc.com/site/files/1082/126098/427477/756405/000312_Manual_CVM201_Super_BeeV123.pdf You didn't mention the model number but I guess that is the one you have. A quic...

Dave, Looking at your chart where you placed the Paschen curves on your pressure chart caused me to think again about something I've never understood. I still haven't set up a fusor, myself, not even a demo one. Anyway let me try to say what I think regarding your graphics and then add my own questi...

I'm on the other side of the country so I wasn't aware of that hamfest. Looks like a nice one, and rain-proof.

Did any nifty stuff entice you to take it home?

I'm no expert, especially on Spellman since I only have Glassman supplies. This stuff has been discussed before but in a quick search I didn't find exactly what I think I remember in the best posts. For the Glassman supplies I have made my own supply-end HV connectors by drilling out a PL-259 connec...

Corby, I don't have a working fusor yet, so I'm in no position to try it. I don't have any bottled D2 either. The difficulty of obtaining D2 gas is what makes the electrolysis interesting. I went ahead and bought a Hydrofill and one HydroStik from Jameco, and it came already. I of course immediately...

Interesting stuff on the HydroStik. I hadn't seen them before. Seems they are made by Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies -- http://www.horizonfuelcell.com/ I gather the original was HydroStik and now there is HydroStik Pro. The charging unit, Hydrofill, also has a Pro version. The spec for HydroStik say...
