No Sleep 'Till Fusion

Another school year is starting, and I find myself on the East Coast, waiting to start taking grad classes in a week. Unfortunately, we did not detect any neutrons coming out of the Fusor Mark I this summer, and I have sadly been forced to put my quest for fusion on hold, at least for now. The good news is that Fusor Mark I is still in working order back at LMU, and I hope that some bright student (or students) will be able to carry on the fusor work that I left behind. I have mentioned them before, but I would like to again thank Anatol Hoemke and Dr. John Bulman again for all of their help and support in this project. Without you guys this never would have been possible.

Once I get settled in to life at MIT, I hope to start up another fusor project as soon as time permits. I will continue to keep a log of its progress on this blog. In the meantime...here are some photos (and a video!) compiled from the life of Fusor Mark I:
