Greetings from Russia with Love!
I am Fedor Sulitskiy, and although my subject is misleading as it assumes I am in Russia, I am actually in UK but I am Russian. I am second year physics student in a uni here and I am fascinated by nuclear physics and especially fusion, always have been. I joined the forum to learn more about fusors as me and my friend decided to attempt building it. It's amazing how active the community around fusors is and I am greatly impressed by this forum, so hopefully I shall find all the information I will need and get to building sooner or later )

Re: Greetings from Russia with Love!
Welcome. You might want to approch the physic's or nuclear engineering departments to see if they would help you. Having university resources at your disposal could be very helpful - from a usable neutron detector to maybe deuterium gas.

Re: Greetings from Russia with Love!
I absolutely will, but in time. I would prefer to study the physics and design of fusor in detail myself first. Besides I have doubts if my university is that much into fusion, and my tutor is not the most cooperative kind

Re: Greetings from Russia with Love!
Привет! Do you want to build a demo or a real fusor? The forum is very good, it has all the information.

Re: Greetings from Russia with Love!
Привет!) A real fusor is certainly preferable. I'm thinking of designing it so that a bunch of measuring equipment could be installed and so that it's operational parameters could be altered at ease so that some basic sort of research could be performed. Perhaps we could leave it with the university after graduation.

Re: Greetings from Russia with Love!
Of course I don't consider it as having potential to perform actual research or be in any way professional, but be more of a complex toy to play with.

Re: Greetings from Russia with Love!
Depends on how you look at it. A home computer is a toy in one hand, a tool in the other.
Someone plays and sits in instagram, and someone is engaged in programming, design, construction.
Yes, many people collect fusor for the sake of the process. Then they put the reactor on a dusty shelf.
But it's not a toy.
1. Fusor is a convenient source of neutrons for laboratory research.
2. Fusor Is a full-fledged study of a thermonuclear reaction
3. to build a fusor, you need knowledge. Much knowledge. For 2 years, I studied vacuum engineering and vacuum physics, nuclear physics, and electrical engineering.
4. I believe that a compact fusion reactor is possible. I do not know what type it will be. But I am sure that research, including amateur research, will contribute to its creation! There are a huge number of startups with different types of thermonuclear reactors.
For me, this is a step into science! And I am glad that I made this step!)

Re: Greetings from Russia with Love!
Excuse my slang, when I used the word toy I didn't mean it in a dismissive or disrespectful way. I meant to say that realistically no-one will want the fusor for any meaningful research where I am, and it's main purpose would be for me and my buddies to practice our applied skills and exercise out theoretical knowledge practically.
Personally I believe that future is in spherical tokamaks, and I am sure that this time we are indeed 30 years away from proper fusion, but I digress.
Friend, would you mind recommending any good articles on this site to read about electrical engineering and electromagnetic mechanics in the device and perhaps the general theory of operation? There are so many articles and I am a bit lost ':D

Re: Greetings from Russia with Love!
Perfect, thank you very much:) as for Tokamak Energy, I know them and in fact I visited and saw ST 40.
