FAQ: Complete fusor diagram
Progress may have been a good thing once, but it just went on too long. - Yogi Berra
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

Re: FAQ: Complete fusor diagram
Most all fusioneers never use a "fore-line trap". It is part of any real professional system and is included as an "ideal" item to have in a vacuum system.
The trap is there to keep mechanical pump oil vapor out of the secondary pump. The secondary pump is either a diffusion pump or a turbo pump.
I am attaching a fusor vacuum system image of the type most often used today. Some people do not use a diffusion pump and replace it with a more modern turbo-pump. You must have one or the other in addition to the mechanical pump.
