A fusor is a device that uses an electric field to heat ions to a temperature at which they undergo nuclear fusion. The machine induces a potential difference between two metal cages, inside a …

In the mid-1950's, P. T. Farnsworth came up with the idea of using a spherical diode as a fusion machine. This device was called the "Fusor", and would cause ions of fusion fuel to speed to …

Since its inception in 1998, Fusor.net has provided valuable educational resources for hundreds of amateur scientists around the world. There is absolutely no cost to users for these abundant …

The fusor was originally conceived by Philo Farnsworth, the man who is largely responsible for television. In the early 1930s he investigated a number of vacuum tube designs for use in …

Fusors use electrostatic potential to confine plasma in order to accomplish nuclear fusion and are currently used for neutron production (a by-product of Deuterium-Tritium or Deuterium …

The fusor is a nuclear fusion device which uses electrostatic fields confine the ions. It is also referred to as an inertial electrostatic confinement device (IEC). In general, a fusor consists of …

What is a Fusor? A fusor is a device that uses an electric field to heat ion s to a temperature at which they undergo nuclear fusion.

In order to operate the Fusor it needs a supply of nuclei to be accelerated, a fuel, which is fed into the Fusor as a gas that will become ionized. Because the Fusor operates under a high …

Developed by Philo Farnsworth and Robert Hirsch in 1967, it is a small device that uses Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) to achieve fusion. They are not viable for power production, …

A device that uses a strong electric field to accelerate ions to its centre where they fuse. A fusor consists of spherical electrodes immersed in each other.
