ok... what "research" do you think he did? the kid found some plans, got some help, and zapped electricity through a tube. i'm not saying the kid aint a genius, i'm just saying the headline "TEEN CREATES FUSION in his home" is a little misleading.
i would seriously doubt the kid just woke up one day and thought.. gee if i take a steel chamber, make a vacuum, fill it with deuterium gas, then grab some parts of an old mammogram machine and switch it on with 40,000 volts i'll create fusion!! what it sounds like to me is the kid is extremely smart and interested in science, heard of people doing this, and wanted to do it himself. since it says his dad provided "a little help" i'm guessing his dad played some part in getting the parts necessary. now don't get me wrong i think it's great to see stuff like this, but the kid no more "created" fusion than i just "created" fertilizer when i took a dump earlier. here's the site's forum http://www.fusor.net/board/index.php?site=fusor |
