Hey Kids! Create a Fusion Reactor in your basement!

 Every now and then, one of these basement fusor projects makes the local news. Here's an article from a recent edition of the Rochester (NY) Democrat and Chronicle about the fusor that Matthew Honickman built to start the New Year: 

 

"This is fun," he said. "For a lot of people, fusion seems kind of like something that's only done in really, really large, expensive government facilities."
Ted Kinsman, one of Honickman's science teachers at Brighton High School, said that he is aware of only a few high school students who have ever constructed fusors.
"It's quite an accomplishment," he said. "Basically, I applaud him. That's a lot of work."

As we all know, radiation creates Superheroes.
Perhaps we'll soon have a new crop of them
