My home made fusion reactor

Rod Sprague · Post by **Rod Sprague** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 10:39 pm

I think I have figured out how to build a practical electrostatic net energy producing fusion reactor in my spare bedroom. It involves an inner grid of the first order octahedral geodesic geometry, 16 outgoing electron beam electrodes and 16 weak toroidal magnets. I should be able to do it safely and inexpensively with surplus and home made equipment and stuff from the hardware store and electronic parts suppliers. Do people want to be kept posted?

Absolutely! We're behind you all the way.

Sure. Sounds good.

Just let us know when you turn it on so we can all hit our shelters. . .

I would be interested to know what material you are fusing in this reactor, considering you can get it from your local hardware store.

C&F will completely fund your project. Where shall I have The Foundation send the check?

if you make your grid large enough to power Ohio - we're on it!!!!

Just be careful you don't cause an Eisenthorp Warp, a break in your discontinuum can be a bad thing especially if your singularities isolate.

I apologize. After checking with the Board of The Foundation, due to budgetary problems, we'll only be able to go with 12 outgoing electon beam electrodes and....just a minute........11 weak toroidal magnets. I hope that's not a problem.

I want to see pictures.

Start with fission. Much simpler to accomplish at home, and the power requirements to start the reaction are just about zero. With fusion you'll need to black out your city for a while to get that warehouse full of capacitors charged up. You can move on to fusion once you've got the kinks worked out of your process.

Good luck!

Rod, building mine was one of the most satisfying experiences of my life. I named mine "The Double D" (obviously for the deuteron-deuteron reaction), but I'll tell ya, I've taken no end of kidding for that!

Enjoy yours!

By placing an octagonal mirror in the SW corner of his spare bedroom, Rod can easily, by means of simple feng shui, avert the energy dynamic which would precipitate an Eisenthorp Warp.
And the singularities will never isolate if they're given sufficient lubrication. Such as sangria.

Just don't change your location to Chernobyl, Idaho!
