Here is a short video of our fusor running at full power. For those interested, here are the specs:
Powered by: 25kVDC-30kVDC from a ~400W ZVS-driven flyback transformer. Current in excess of 20mA (estimated).
Chamber/pressure: steel vacuum chamber from . Pumped down to below 100 microns (exact pressure unknown) with a dual-stage 5cfm rotary vane pump.
Fusion levels: minimal, this is running with air, not deuterium.
Inner grid: 1/4“ copper pipe, water-filled. Inserted through holes drilled into the acrylic lid and sealed with clear JB Weld epoxy. Water boils after only a minute of operation. May boil faster if fusion were occurring.
Magnetic bottle: two strong (~1 tesla, estimated) neodymium magnets facing north to south (attracting ends facing each other).
Operation theory: the inner grid (made of copper tubing) is filled with a small amount (a few milliliters) of water and connected to the negative terminal of the flyback transformer. The outer grid is simply the steel body
