I found a fusor on http://www.glubco.com/weaponry/fusor/fusor.htm
wpi.edu --- it does not use a spherical anode - but a linear grid (Cathode) and linear anode --- has anyone else tried this approach??
To Sphere's or not to Sphere's

Re: To Sphere's or not to Sphere's
This approach was tried by the Farnsworth team back in the mid 60's. It works, but they stuck with the spherical version as there was little improvement and they liked the spherical version more to start with.
The model fusor you link to is that of one of our first active members back in 1998. His name was Joshua Resnick. He went great guns for the demo models, making a couple of iterations, but I don't remember him taking the next step to do fusion. He is in the "plasma club" in the fusioneer list. This was a student project. He has got to be graduated by now!

All,
It would appear that the team of Joshua Resnick & Seth McGann is in the "Plasma Club" employing a variant on the cylendrical configuration. The result may be admired virtually:
