This is a list of AMATEUR fusioneers and experimenters.

It can incude private individuals who receive aid and 
assistance which might include financial help,
equipment donation and professional scientific guidance.
i.e. students in high school or college doing a fusor 
project, science fair exhibit, etc.


Scroungers list:

To get on the list of assemblers of parts, just notify the list
of your intent to start gathering components to make a fusor or fusion system
and you will be added.

NOTE:  This list will be purged from time to time if the
persons on it fail to post in recent times and appear to have left the forums.

REASON:  This a list of stated intent and not one of accomplishment.

Plamsa Club:

In general, The Plasma club membership requires minimalistic 
"proof of accomplishment".  i.e. Images posted in 
image du jour forum of the apparatus With a plasma VISIBLE.
 

Neutron Club:

This usually demands a pre-existing plasma club member indicate 
that he has added deuterium and has either activated a material
or has supplied a neutron counter or bubble detector reading along with an image 
of
 
Neutron system with counter, bubble detector or method of activation apparatus
visible beside the fusion apparatus with a full description of his
run with data taken.  Obviously, no one can see neutrons being
produced,but we should see proof that you can actually record 
their passage via some sort of suitable apparatus.

Basically, an applicant for the neutron club must present proof in both images
and a full technical data disclosure indicating fusion.  This evidence should
show the detection system and the fusor setup itself along with all of the
operational conditions during fusion and data taking.

This list cannot include fusion work done by organizations or
professional people involved in this work for pay unless
the effort is done "on the side" as a personal effort.
i.e. Tom Ligon - Bussard fusion effort

While most of the above have used the particle colliding, inertial
electrostatic confinement, "Farnsworth fusor" device, this list is 
not
 
limited to this approach.  Any form of actual AMATEUR,"hands-on",
experimental,fusion research effort and its success will be logged here.
 

It must be realized that this list is not regularly purged based on
moribund activity.  It is, instead, assembled to bear witness to any
and all who have put forth some fusion related effort in the past or
are working at present in the effort.  Some of the folks on this list
have long ago departed or ceased work in their fusion quest.
