Another High school student fusor
Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2009 1:37 am
In a University of Nevada, Reno physics lab, Taylor Wilson is building a Farnsworth Fusor: a machine to generate neutrons and demonstrate nuclear fusion reactions at a very low level. If successful, according to his own research he would be one of only 30 people in the world to have built one and generated neutrons.
It is work comparable to that of a university science researcher, but Wilson, 14, is a high-school student exploring the realm of science and preparing for science fairs and competitions.
Taylor is the youngest fusioneer at 14, way to go Taylor.
