Well i am sorry for requesting something immediately, its simply because this is my most important project at the moment. I still have a lot to learn about the general field of fusion, but i think the most important factor of any project is enthusiasm and will to carry on and not let the errors stop you from achieving your goals, and i certainly have that. But thank you for your tips, i'll certainly take them into account. The $15,000 dollars is meant for general equipment such as vacuum chambers, actual fusion fuels, neutron detection and power supplies. Vacuum gear is expensive for something like this since I'm aiming for a vacuum quality of 10^-9 torr. One blog about the types of fusors i mentioned is this: http://prometheusfusionperfection.com/ He has retired from the project now, but he obviously made an effort, and he has inspired me to do my own experiments with nuclear fusion. But it's nice to meet you all, i'm sorry we got off to a bad start.

Ah i stand corrected about the term "cold fusion". Sorry about that and thank you for pointing it out. Another error is that the Farnsworth-Hirsch wasnt made by Bussard however he did make a version of it and experimented with it. Yes the Polywell and the Farnsworth-Hirsch usually operate at around 50kv, i belive the original prototype for the Polywell was created using mostly television parts. The main problem of the Farnsworth-Hirsch is that the inner grid, charged with about -10 to -100kv conducts away too much energy and mass, and the Polywell was Bussard's method of fixing that, and the Polywell is actually a rather promising design. I intend to research types of fusors and do experiments with whatever i can afford.

EDIT: Not cold fusion, just general fusion Hello everybody, i would like to introduce my project on Fusion. Now i have an on-going funding campaign but it appears I'm not allowed to post the link for it as pointed to me by mods, but i will keep making posts about it so you can watch how my project goes. Cold Fusion is basically nuclear fusion at room temperature. Now for all you scientists out there, i'm certain there will be skeptics about Cold Fusion, many argue that it can never happen based on a couple of reason, but a couple of designs have been made, the Polywell for example. The type i would like to start with is the Farnsworth-Hirsch fusor, and the Polywell was made by Robert W. Bussard (may he rest in peace). It is obvious that fusion has occurred because it has been tested using neutron detection. The only problem left, and with any fusion technology really, is how to actually harvest the energy and use it, and that is what i would like to research.
