This is the ultimate Plasma Project and involves the construction of a spherical vacuum chamber for the purpose of producing a Nuclear Fusion Reaction. IEC Fusion was first demonstrated by Farnsworth & Hirsch over 50 years ago. In the 1990's Richard Hull built an amateur Fusion Reactor and about 2 dozen others have followed his lead. This project basically duplicates Richard's effort.
This plasma is in a pure Argon atmosphere at ~ 100 to 150 millitorr vacuum. Voltage is 400 to 700 Volts and Current under 1 mA. Check out the Electron Beam!
