Archived - Hull, Fusor III, fusion star

Post by Richard Hull »

Attached is the fusor III star. This image is from 1999 when Fusor III was first up and doing real fusion. If you count the faint rays headed away from the camera, there are 13 star radials.

Note that the thing looks like it is pumping out major watts and seething with stellar energy. Hardly the thing of grace and delicacy depicted in the Zambelli or Amann images, but it is, in reality, a tiny poissor just like the Amann and Zambelli images. It has undergone gamma changes and UV driven luminosity from a glowing stalk insulator competeing with and overpowering the delicate tiny glow of the poissor.

Also note the glowing triangular beam hits on the fusor chamber walls. All of my images are monochromatic and not color.

Fusion is the energy of the future....and it always will be
The more complex the idea put forward by the poor amateur, the more likely it will never see embodiment
