I don't particularly care to keep spotlighting Taylor Wilson at the expense of the other outstanding Fusioneers of all ages from all over the world who are experimenting with the fundamental forces of the universe in their basements and garages, but when one of our number garners a mult-page feature on one of the most …
As the host of this site, it has always been my contention that one of its under-stated goals was to encourage a new generation of experimenters to investigate the possibilities of fusion. A lot of the veterans here are fairly certain that the Fusor will never be a meaningful source of useful energy on the …
"Veteran" Fusioneer Chad Ramey came to Nashville last week to speak at a hacker's convention called "PhreakNic." It was a petty impressive demonstration, too… and probably not what any of the spectators expected. After all, it's not every day that a college student wheels a cart into a conference room and proceeds to produce an …

…has been showing up in the news lately… A couple of stories percolated around the Interwebs over the past few weeks about Taylor Wilson, who, at the age of 14, claimed the mantle of "World's Youngest Fusioneer" – i.e. the youngest person to build a fusor (or any kind of fusion device) and produce neutrons …
Jeez, the front page of this site really doesn’t do a very good job of reflecting what’s going on in the background, does it? I mean, there are dozens of posts every day to the forums, and I haven’t posted anything to the front page since December 2010? What’s up with that? It probably has something …

There is a great story running this week in an online publication called The Epoch Times. The feature offers a pretty balanced perspective on the history of the Fusor, the work that has been done over the past decade-plus, and the realistic prospects for ever achieving useful (i.e. "breakeven") energy from a fusion process. …
