thermonuclearfusionreactor.co.uk - Hot Nuclear Fusion for the Home...?

I contacted Chris when this topic started. I offered to help do his website for him, for free, and was hoping to be able to discuss the tech etc...

I sent him a few emails, but couldn't get more than a very short reply from him. I asked him to contact me when he had time, but he didn't. So I gave up.

The technique he was using seemed to make a lot of sense. I couldn't fault it, but I'm no expert. It was quite a simple setup...

At the time, the device was, according to Chris, 'in Utrecht for testing'... I've noticed the site is now down...

I still think the hypothesis that eddy-currents might cause fusion has legs:

- Fusion is bringing two *like* charged particles together - i.e. protons (+)

- *Moving* charges of the *same* polarity *attract* each other due to magnetic forces.

- So, the electrostatic repulsion can be overcome by the magnetic attraction if the velocity is high enough.

- I was taught that eddy-currents form inward-spiralling currents - i.e. they form an ever-tighter spiral / vortex as the current moves. Not a line, not a circle, a vortex...

- "In the absence of external forces, a vortex usually evolves fairly quickly toward the irrotational flow pattern, where the flow velocity v is inversely proportional to the distance r. For that reason, irrotational vortices are also called free vortices." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex)

- i.e. velocity increases toward the center of the vortex.

So a vortex of like-charged particles, with enough energy, could cause those particles to fuse...

PS: So the story is that Chris has been detained in a 'secure facility' for a while - since he irradiated himself & his neighbors - with his home built thermonuclear power plant... I mean - you couldn't make this stuff up... Lol.

This chap has invented a shoebox-sized nuclear-reactor. Wow.

"...Tap water will do, so a cup full of water will power your house for a year at about 20 KW. That is the theory."

It's not without it's potential dangers though:

"As the proportion of deuterium increases and the helium level builds up the reaction rate suddenly increases and a nuclear explosion takes place. ... That is why the helium has to be filtered out. It is super diffusive and so it is easy to separate."

Sounds like a build for the more experienced among us. Brad, Russ?

PS: A vid of the inventor explaining his invention:

Well, I'm not Brad,Russ, but, I believe that I will keep a saturated wet bath towel or beach blanket at hand to throw on the device and damp the reaction the very minute that I happen to notice that it is beginning to go hyperbolic.

Hope I'm not answering the phone or at the door with the postman at that minute.
