Star Mode

We got the butterfly value installed and tested out the new grid. Beautiful stable plasmas. Air plasma:

No bubbles yet. This video shows the stable air plasma:

We started by installing the butterfly valve:

      I’m taking care to avoid the fusor during the deuterium runs. The video is an air plasma.

      I won’t be running the machine again until it’s completely computer controlled, and i can operate it from the next room. Additionally I’ve got a geiger counter on the way to measure any x-ray activity.

    accelerating air with a few kv and slamming it together will still yield hard x-rays. take care.
