Hi everyone,
New user here. Without going into much detail, I work in the electric utilities industry (Coop utility) and have always been interested in science. My past projects include high voltage (Tesla coils) and lasers (CW diodes and a pulsed ruby laser ).
I am here to build a working fusor, not a demo. While I am no nuclear physicist, I do intend on building a functional fusor rather than a demo.
So far, I have learned enough about fusors to know that I have a long and (probably) expensive road ahead of me. Case in point is that I thought my 15kV 30mA NST was the perfect psu to start with. Boy was I floored after learning how these things operate under load
My reason for going down this road: I have always been interested in nuclear science and have a wild collection of radioactives I have some uranium minerals that would knock your socks off!

Re: Hello from Louisiana
Matt, Welcome to the forums. I see you have read a bit already on neon sign transformers. Good luck with your efforts.

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
