Further fusion efforts for Jack and Scott
Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2015 5:23 pm
Hello All!
I'd just like to introduce this post as where Scott and I will show our continued efforts to more fusion and towards a better system. Today we had another successful day at NJIT and got some more fusion as well as a better moderator (HDPE blocks thanks to Tim Koeth). We took a video that shows more sustained fusion and more counts than prior runs!

You will hear Scott Moroch's voice doing the explanation and Jack Rosky (me) in the background controlling the gas and throttling the vacuum valve.
Our current method of running the fusor does yield more reliable runs, but does waste a lot of deuterium, so we are working on fine tuning the process.
Thanks very much!
