Craig Wallace, a freshman at Utah State, built a nuclear fusion reactor based on the plans of Utah native Philo T. Farnsworth (inventor of the television). It’s fitting homage to Farnsworth for a TV to display the small sun that exists inside the reactor. (via /.)
Fusor.net is kind of devoted to the “home physicist”. Good for building a fusion reactor. It would be kind of fun to actually build one…but maybe I’ll wait until I’m done having kids. ;)
I’m building one… it’s an incredible amount of fun and one learns alot while doing this – everything from nuclear physics to electricity.
I wish I was that smart. He is one devoted kid.
i hope to build one for the science fair by my 10th grade year! i really think that this would be very fun to do!
