I put the tube with hydrogen at 3 Tor in my 850 watt microwave oven for ten
seconds yesterday. The hydrogen did not ionize and the tube did not get
warm.
Chris.

Anyone know anyplace to get surplus oven magnetrons (cheap)?

A basic H-H fusion power source can be designed based on these
results.  A laser wake field accelerates H. And the target appears
only cluster.

Putting tubes of low pressure hydrogen tubes in the 4 watt oscillator coil
did not result in the visible ionisation of the hydrogen.
I tried 10^-5 Tor, 10^-6 Tor, 10^-7 Tor and 10^-8 Tor.
It was not visibly glowing in the light of day, I will try again in darkness

I measured the power out of my oscillator today, it was only 4 watt. I don't
think this is enough to start fusion.
It lights a fluorescent tube so it might ionise low pressure hydrogen if the
pressure is low enough.

Here is another report of my attempts to make a fusion reactor.
I have done some more experiments with a tube of low pressure hydrogen.
The tube of hydrogen was excited into a plasma with a high voltage source
then RF current was passed through the coil wound round the tube.

Thermonuclear Power
Reasoning
I have the notion that a low pressure hydrogen tube inside the coil of a
tuned circuit will produce power after the fusion reactions are ignited by a

I have been experimenting with a triode valve oscillator with a tube of low
pressure hydrogen inside the coil.
The power is only about 10 watt but I can light a fluorescent tube placed
inside the coil. I have to touch the end for it to strike.

I've been considering mean free path and field strength and the energy of
collision as my basis for the order of new tubes.
I selected the pressure in the tubes to be 10-7 Tor. The mean free path at
this pressure is about a Km so the field strength of 500 volts/meter will

If I remember correctly, I heard that the sun isn't producing the amount
of neutrinos expected by theory, yes?
