Nuclear fusion is the energy source of the future - and will probably always remain that. Ignoring that platitude 😉, I have the feeling that the unprecedented reduction in cost of renewable energy sources (especially solar and batteries) may very well reduce research into fusion because it might prove impossible to make profitable without immense government subsidies in the face of ultra cheap solar energy.

@@TechIngredients If the neon sign transformer is center taped and the center tap is at ground potential, you only need 2 diodes for full wave operation. Connect the anode of each diode to each of the outputs and tie the two cathodes together for your HV+ output. This way, you'll only get half the peak voltage out, but since your using a variac to run the transformer at a much lower voltage anyway, and you don't need the full potential the neon sign transformer is capable of, it's a moot point. Another type of transformer that will work are the transformers from old oil furnace burners. these provide a constant arc that ignites the fuel air mixture. Though, i don't know if those are usually center tapped or not.

Thanks for bringing up the danger of radiation, of which there are several types - each with different properties. I'd love to know how much is given off by the plasma tube... (The glass will shield alpha and attenuate beta, so building the geiger müller tube into the plasma tube - probably impossible?) Uranium being only a weak alpha emitter is easily stopped - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium#Military Tritium is a low energy beta emitter, requiring better shielding - hence more dangerous than Uranium - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium#Health_risks ABCs of Radiation - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5vOha2hbbN0rq8 - highly recommended explaining the difference in types and dangers.

This is like my 10th video of yours I’ve seen and I’m hooked! I wish I hadn’t changed my major in undergrad from physics to poly sci! Definitely wouldn’t have had I had professors as engaging as you! Keep up the amazing work good sir ... and team!

[@TechIngredients]

Thanks!

[@solarfluxman8810]

I absolutely love this channel. Will we ever see an episode of a fusion powered recreational boat?

[@joeflosion]

You got a "like" as soon as you mentioned Cody. Knew it was coming. Always makes me smile

[@howardbain6516]

I like that you remind watchers of the one hand rule It saved my life.

[@fernandogarciacortez4911]

This is just amazing, these videos feel short for us who love the content. Keep it coming!

[@mavos1211]

Thank you so much for covering this topic, I can’t wait to see how and where you go with this in the future. Yet again you have surpassed yourselves on the quality of the video and the quality of the content.

Thanks!

When I was in 9th grade, I had a biology teacher who would get up in front of the class each day, tell us what chapter to read in the book, and then would sit down at his desk for the rest of the day. He never did any demonstrations, he never did any lectures, and he only ever had us do 2 projects, one of which was a self-sustaining terrarium made out of soda bottles. I can't even remember the other project. The second semester of the same class, a brand new teacher took over and he was highly interactive, doing fun lectures, giving us fun projects to do like filtering pond water with the goal of having clear, neutral pH, odor free water (nobody was going to drink it though!). It was probably the funnest science class I ever had in my 12 years of school. The point here is that people learn way more when the lectures are interesting, and this channel's presentation is amazing for that. It's just enough theory and demonstration that makes it so easy to watch.

Just finished watching. I made a Farnsworth-Hirsch fusion reactor demonstration a few years ago, you probably know about those already but it was incredibly cool to see the little ball of plasma in the middle. Also had made a wine bottle 'particle accelerator' with a stainless ring about 2/3 the way down the bottle where the electrons would accelerate towards, but some would miss and hit the phosphor at the bottom of the bottle. I did all this with a high voltage power supply I built using a Variac and a NST, but I also had a voltage multiplier. I forget the name of the person who invented the design, but it uses a series of capacitors and diodes to multiply and rectify the voltage. Anyway, this was very interesting to watch!

[@cambridgemart2075]

That's a Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier.

[@Thebadbeaver9]

Really interesting, looking forward to the next “Learning physics through a fire hose” video!

[@christopherpeeples1015]

It's fun to find someone whose brain and curiosity are the same as mine. It's very evident when personally distracted while watching; my brain instantly reconnects with the direction and comments of your presentations. A weird comment, I'm sure. Cheers!

[@ArtemLOSANGELES]

Thank you so so so much, man! The way you talk about things and your explanations are so incredibly interesting and understandable! Huge honor to watch and listen to you. I am a huge fan of your channel and love and admire the things and the projects you guys do. You are truly just incredible!!!

[@markbell9742]

Safety note: The vacuum is a conductor and depending on how you have your power supply (transformer) wired, current could pass from the electrodes through the vacuum in the connecting tubing to one or both metal valves. For example if one electrode is also a ground and you touch the valve on the high-side you might get zapped. Don't touch the valve at both ends at the same time.

"In episode 3, we build a fusion reactor. And after that we will probably have a two-part episode as we look into a cold fusion. Thank you very much for watching, stay safe, have a nice evening." I love this channel.

Nice, although my eyes kept getting distracted to that set of blades on your top shelf.

Your clear explanation of how plasmas work and your equipment design and hands-on practical (engineering) skills are the best I have seen. I worked for 26 years on the JET Tokamak fusion energy experiment. I am glad to say that the UK government has provided funding for UK’s first prototype fusion energy power plant at West Burton A site in Nottinghamshire, a decommissioned coal-fired electricity generation plant.

Feels like new series of videos on a topic starts quite often, compared to gets completed :p Though I do enjoy them anyway :) just a bit of a shame to never see some of the projects completed (like, what happened to the railgun?).

When I heard that electricity should not flow through my thorax it increased my vigilance simply because I've never though of it as a thorax and the new term endears it to me.
