I've been posting the progress to fusor.net, but that site has been having real issues, it's "down" again. I will now mirror my progress over here.

Summary to date:

I could not get it to self oscillate. So now I'm trying to drive the ion grid with RF, as well as a DC bias. No luck, either I don't ...

Ah well, maybe I can include progress reports on Doug's fusor. I have it reassembled and making neutrons once again as a "standard Farnsorth fusor" with Ion grid. Enough to activate silver.

Now the long process of rediscovering "Gonzo Mode".

I believe that Bill has a copy of the patent application, which he plans to share with me once it is located. I talked to Doug at some length about it, so I hope to have enough insight to be able to reproduce the event.

I am now in possession of the large fusor and related equipment. By rights Bill should have the fusor, but Bill's wife said "No way" and nobody else spoke for it. Here is a link to a YouTube video of me rolling it off the truck into the shed where it's going to live. https://youtu.be/LGLbDHBGCiM ...

It was sure a surprise to me that Doug passed this quickly. If you need help in moving this forum to another server, I have experience with phpBB.

I never had to deal with SCO Unix fortunaely.

I think that the MBA degree was the worst thing ever to come along.

Project Farm actually used one of my suggestions as to what to test next. Chain saw chain sharpeners.

Would be great if you can get the menthol without the nicotine.

Second This Old Tony. I'm getting into TIG welding again. Got a much nicer rig with HF start and offset on the AC for doing aluminum just right. Amazing compared to the rig that I used in 1970 that you had to "Scratch" start.
