My wife and many of my friends were having a hard time understanding why I was building the fusor. I finally started telling them that, I eventually plan to make a fusor with two inner grids, an ellipsoidal grid or two apposing parabolic outer grids. Even at low pressure the temperature is so high, that with the appropriate inner grid biasing, I can sublimate charcoal briquets within one grid, and harvest pure diamond within the other grid.
Everyone, especially my wife is more understanding.
