fusor.gifRight now fusors are small do to the fact that with a single grid for accererating the IONS the vacum must be high to prevent unwanted current flow. A high vacum requires a small surface area. With a multi-grids the potental between grids is less thus a poorer quality of vacum is permited but you need a bigger chamber to space the grids out.What about a 4 foot diameter fusor with 6 grids 3 inches apart. Has anyone done tables to give the maxium area of chamber for a given vacum and grid spaceing. Here I have fictional device of a ring of fusors all together that uses a AC voltage on the grids to accerate bunches of ions at each other.Ions that miss fuseing just move into the next fusor. This design has a large area for a vacum but has a lot of grids,and could have a large amount of H, but can one practicaly pump it?
