Fusor Forums

A suitable vacuum gauge looks more like this: http://www.pfeiffer-vacuum.com/products/measurement/activeline/activeline-gauges/onlinecatalog.action?detailPdoId=12202 Please go through the manuals there. Pfeiffer also provides a very good knowledge base for vacuum newbies http://www.pfeiffer-vacuum.c...

Why do you want to replace LabView? Because of the price? There are books available wich include free fully functional Student versions of LabView. I'm using: http://www.amazon.de/dp/3446423869 It works extremly good. And you dont have to buy their DAQs. You can use almost every A/D converter or dev...

The aluminium framework consists of REXROTH components. I constructed it myself and had it prepared by a local company. Rexroth also provides a free CAD application which you can use to construct your own thing - whatever it looks like: http://www.boschrexroth.com/en/xc/products/engineering/econfigu...

This is the actual status of the preparation for my Fusor Experiment: 4) On the left you see the Turbo Control Unit Pfeiffer DCU. It generates up to 1500 Hz to drive the Turbo-Pump. On the backside it has a RS485 Interface which will be connected to my LABVIEW PC showing actual current (and therefor...

Hi - also to german speaking fusioneers! As I read a lot in the forum about people who did not dive into fusion theory enough bevore posting, here is a picture of the books I really loved during my first contact with fusion. There are also some german ones - I really liked "Plasmaphysik und Fusionsf...

Dear European fusioneers:
As I'm always confused with microns and Torr, here are the european numbers of the pressure range:

It's 1,3x10-2 mbar to 2,6x10-1 mbar.

PS: WolframAlpha does not understand "micron" as a unit for pressure but unfortunatly reads it as distance.

James, don't be sad - it took me at least two years of reading plasma physic books, publications (to be found for free in arxiv.org) and handbooks (like pfeiffer vacuum handbook) to get an idea of the knowhow needed to build anything close to a fusion device. After talking to a researcher from the T...

Thank you very much for the Feedback. Anyway - I will give these ideas a try with my fusor over the next few months and post the results - if there will be any usefull ones ;-) I will start with an ordinary 445 nm laser and my thorlabs ccd spectrometer and will keep you in touch (posted in the theor...

Currently I'm using a glass made "reactor" - but I'm also in the process of deciding the the type of chamber. My actual research points me to a tailor made spherical chamber with a lot of CF ports in different diameters. In Europe there aren't that many companies that produce such things and the rea...
