Newbie construction of chamber
Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2020 5:20 pm
Hi guys I’m 17 and have recently been very obsessed with the idea of building a fusion reactor I just registered on here and I need help figuring out how to do a lot of this stuff
I want to start by asking about the vacuum chamber
I am going with 2 6inch stainless steel hemispheres and then some 8inch flanges but what width do I use for the hemispheres would it be okay to use a 8th inch for the width of the metal for the hemispheres or do I need more like a half inch or quarter inch thickness for the hemispheres
Also where do you guys even find someone who produces hemispheres made of stainless I live in Las Vegas and not one person in town can make me hemispheres because it’s too hard so do you have any suggestions of where I can find the materials needed to make a reactor
Also how do you guys get windows in your fusion reactors is the glass super strong and do you use custom made flanges or something to fit glass in there but to also keep a tight seal
I am on a very tight budget and will take what I can get as long as I can build a fusion reactor in the end I’m happy with what info I can get now
I don’t want it imploding on me and then killing me hahahah so what do you guys think I should do and are there any good websites just full of good materials I can buy to get started with this
I am simply just confused and I need help figuring out all the components that it takes to make a fusion reactor so if someone could help me out that would be great
