Basic Fusor Mk 1- 6" diameter

Post by Dan Faust »

My fusor's blueprint is similar to a lot of first fusors:
Vacuum chamber: 2 6" SS hemispheres
I will drill holes in various locations to fulfill the needs below:

Vacuum, leybold d16a-max 3x10e-3 Torr, with a vacuum gauge near chamber duct

Voltage, variable transformer connects to rectifier that transmits AC into DC, wires connect to conductive source that sends voltage into the inner grid, detectors use voltage duct for readings

Viewing, temperature resistant glass, so you don't get your face burned and so vacuum isn't compromised

Pressure gauge

Maintenance for fixing grids and leaks

Deuterium needle valve inlet port with gas regulator, 1 sccm at beginning

Tungsten wired inner grid
Cooper wired outer grid

Volume of my chamber (EDIT): 799.88 in³

Basic, yet somewhat informative let out of my design

Ever Fusor has flaws

X Ray and neutron detectors would be operational near main power source

My vacuum pump reaches max vacuum at 3x10e-³

Not knowing our end should never discourage us from achieving more
