My name is Alejandro Perez, and I reached the forums while looking for information related to building a vacuum chamber (for general experimentation, not fusion). I have to say this site is unique, filled with a wealth of information from the practical side of things that is difficult to get otherwise.
Fusion, however, piked my interest, and I'll be building a setup suitable for a demo fusor.

Re: Hi from California
Welcome to the site. Just curious, but what kind of "general" experiments were you planning previously?
If your experiment needs statistics, you ought to have done a better experiment.

I have quite a few in the backburner, as I never had access to a vacuum chamber, and over the years ideas just accumulate.
But most recently, vapor deposition and vacuum melting of speciality alloys.

Welcome, Alejandro!
>> ... vapor deposition and vacuum melting of specialty alloys.
Are you going to experiment with heating by induction, or by e-beam ?
How about optically focused radiant heat? I've melted quarters with a great big Fresnel lens in sunlight.
