The UHV chamber that we will be using for our next round of fusion experiments arrived today. I have attached many pictures of the chamber as well as a picture of our feedthrough/grid assembly and the fitting adapter for our diffusion pump. We are hoping to have fusion by plasma and fusion by next week.

Thanks for following our progress.

Fine, finished work like that, ain't cheap.

Very impressive; can't wait for you to get the system under vacuum and post your first plasma with that unit!

More pictures of our progress attached below. We are currently tracking down a bad leak that we think is in the foreline. After that is resolved, fusion should be soon.

Looks great Scott. I noticed your MFC is plumbed in backwards. Does it work properly in reverse flow direction?
