Very interesting.... thanks for sharing this. Do we actually know what the exact design of the fusor was? Whatever the actual cause, I gather there was no concerted effort to repeat the experiment? It seems to me, odd that nothing would be done to repeat it. But presumably, conditions of the test run leading up to this situation were recorded and more or less completely known. Seems awfully reasonable that the general "coordinates" of the operating conditions would be of intense interest...if as Farnsworth said, there was some sort of sweet spot where the potential shells stabilize. While approaches to cusp-like behavior hold few clues as to what is nearby, mapping the landscape would seem to be a most useful activity.
