For reasons of safety and sanity, [Dan] isn’t running his fusor at a high enough voltage to actually fuse deuterium into helium. This is really just a beautiful, glowey demonstration of what can ...

An inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusor is perhaps the easiest type of fusion for the home gamer, but that’s not the same thing as saying that building and running one is easy.

He built a fusor to detect neutrons, not to achieve full fusion, using materials like hydrocar and deuterium oxide. The project involved creating a low-pressure chamber and electrolyzing deuterium ...
