IEC Fusion Reactor MK II

This page covers my Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Fusion Reactor MK II, which fuses ions of deuterium into helium-3 through inertial electrostatic confinement. In order to learn about how it works, visit the Basics of IEC Fusion page I have written.&

I have built a DC magnetron ion source for IEC Reactor MK. III in hopes that it would stabilize reactor operation and perhaps even increase neutron rates. The ion source consists of a .05” diameter x 1” length stainless anode aligned coaxially i

IEC Fusion Reactor MK III

Recently I've been working on a new reactor, IEC Fusion Reactor MK III. Unlike its predecessor, MK III is based in a small, 1.5 in diameter, cross shaped chamber. Small reactor designs have shown promise of high efficiency and high neutron rates, and
