Michigan Teen Creates Fusion Device
"..."The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Thiago Olson, a 17 year old Michigan teen, was able to create a small fusion device in his parents' basement. The machine uses a 40,000 volt charge and deuterium gas to create the small reaction, which he says looks like a 'small intense ball of energy.' The teen's fusion device is obviously not a self-sustaining reactor, but it still shows how fusion technology is becoming more accessible. Hopefully this points to a future where large scale fusion reactors are both economical and widely used."..."
http://hardware.slashdot.org/article...22206&from=rss amusing comments, but for the full article- http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a...WS03/611190639 So what is it with these cold, quiet places? :D Anyway, so what are kids getting up to in your neck of the woods? Where we use to live, most went skate boarding as there were a few skate parks, except in winter...as for current place, don't know what they get up too, don't see them except on halloween.... |

.... so I guess my answer would be fusion devices in basements. |

I think this is exceptionally wonderful, gives me hope for the youth of today. And the experiments that could leave small holes in the Earth tomorrow. :D |
