Hello,
Today's construction efforts are as below, progress has picked up rapidly now I have got a lab at a local college and have a glassman high voltage power supply loaned off Manchester university.

Re: Construction
All the best on your effort Jamie. That supply looks exactly like the marginal supply that VCU grad student team used to just barely detect fusion with my BF3 PNC-1. It was a 30kv, 10ma unit. Barely worked but cutoff every single time they started even a tiny amount of detectable fusion due to current limiting. Very maddening

Re: Construction
My thoughts exactly, when they brought the power supply to me it looked ever so tiny compared to my last one. I did ask for a supply that could do around 20mA however they brought this one. I feel that runs are going to be difficult. However the university guy who dropped it off said that he will bring another supply up that is a bit more powerful if I email him.
