I am from Cape Cod and I have been interested in hydrogen fusion for many years. I have built an experiment that I think you might be able to help me with.
It is not a farnsworth fusor, but it shares some of its principles.
I look forward to working with you.

Welcome to the forum. I'm sure there will be some resource here that is useful to you just in the FAQs alone, considering how much information they have.

What kind of fusion experiment are you working on, if you don't mind me asking?

This is a video on youtube of my experiment.

Nice vid and a good first start at setting up a plasma device; however, one does not use hydrogen for real fusion experiments - it doesn't fuse at the temps one can generally achieve (even with the billion dollar machines). Rather deuterium is used in fusors and most large experimental machines. Best of luck in your work. Do continue to post on your work

It should be noted of course that Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen, so you're both correct. This should not be news to anyone here on this forum haha. I'm sure that's probably what William was thinking. Semantics.
I can wire anything directly into anything! I'm the professor!

Thanks for your comments, my next step is to add deuterium and a detector. I have also added a variable voltage / frequency transformer. If my understanding of the physics is correct, I should be able to make the plasma form a torrid around the cathodes.
