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 vacuum.

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 the …

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 resources.

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 television, …

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-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 two concentric …

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 vacuum, the fuel …

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.

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, but they …
