Re: Short Film on Carl's Fusor

I assume this is a Farnsworth-Hirsch fusor variant. How are the grids arranged to produce such a linear plasma configuration? Does the geometry cause the neutrons to also be emitted linearly along the beam, or are they still pretty much fired everywhere? If production is linear, this would make this...

Re: Nanotech accelerator-on-a-chip

I think the applications to polywell and similar ideas are fairly obvious. Presumably these would make some very nice electron guns to fill up the Polywell wiffle ball, replacing the electrons lost to the grid. <not a accelerator expert> What would it take to make this thing shoot i.e. ions rather ...
