We’ve seen our fair share of Farnsworth–Hirsch fusors over the years — these high-voltage devices can get ions cooking to the point of achieving nuclear fusion even on a hobbyist’s budget, and even ...

The Farnsworth Fusor is a fascinating device, a reactor that fuses hydrogen into helium by creating a plasma under a very high voltage. Although it isn’t a practical way to generate energy, it is a ...

Fusion research is known for its huge projects -- and its huge lack of tangible success. Big machines like the Princeton tokamak and the Livermore laser have indeed managed to fuse a few nuclei, but ...

Great Ball of Fire description The history of fusion power is also a history of scientific frustration. Youngster Thiago Olsen built a safe, fully functional fusion reactor while in high school, but ...
