FAQ - Operational maxims for a fusor

Post by Richard Hull »

Remember these key maxims...........

1. Obtain the highest running or acceleratory applied voltage as possible! (This means an ever greater probability that fusion will actually occur)
2. Obtain the highest running current possible! ( current determines the number of charged current elements, deuterons, that are fusion-ready)
3. Obtain the highest deuterium running pressure that you can! (This means there is more nuclear fusion fuel in the chamber to do fusion with!)

As you might expect, they are all mutually interacting in a very complex manner. For more detailed info on each go to the following three FAQs:

Does the 2nd and 3rd links are the same on purpose?

Corrected to include pressure info.
