Posted: Mon May 21, 2012 4:26 pm
5 Students from Todd Beamer High School take the first place in the regional technology award at Washington State University and $10,000 in prize money. They have created a miniaturized electronic ion pump using neodymium magnets for pulling deeper vacuums, and are in the final stages of packaging it. Who are these teenage whiz kids? The Firefly Plasma Research team with the North West Nuclear Consortium! www.nwnc.us.com/
They were hammered by multiple judges for over 6 hours with questions ranging from pure high energy physics to gas management technology and high voltage multipliers. These are the super geeks of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. Special thanks goes to http://FUSOR.NET, Robert Tubbs, David Housley and he faculty of Todd Beamer High School without which this win would not have been possible!
