Hello from Oregon!

Post by Logan Holler »

Hello!
I am a student at Oregon State University currently the lead of a team building an IEC fusor device for our nuclear engineering department. My major is in physics but I am taking a nuclear engineering minor so I am learning a good amount of this content as well. I am here looking for additional help as we work through our project with additional questions as well as hopefully finding other resources!

Have a great day!

Welcome to the discussions Logan. You will find about 23 years worth of work here spread over many useful forums. with the FAQs a valuable asset to those just starting out in the technologies and sciences touched on by this effort.

The fusor and beam on target efforts are not elegant and certainly not efficient engines of fusion, but does place in the hands of those participating a legal, yet rather meager source of neutrons for experiment. It also helps the experimenter understand fusion at a core level and the near impossibility of doing it for controlled, electrical power production purposes.

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
