I understand that is the traditional way to get energy from a fusor, but I wanted to do something different, in the interest of science and fun. Yes, I have spent hours on that site. Any other ideas?

I read it a paper describing how to build an amateur fuser. Can you read it here: http://www.fusor.net/newbie/files/Ligon-QED-IE.pdf Page 15 is where I got the quote from. I have no plans to make a break even fusor, but I have bought all the parts to assemble a fusor, and I thought it...

Maybe I didn't ask the question correctly. I read this in a paper: Alpha particles, which are helium atoms stripped of their two electrons, have a charge of +2. Each of the particles produced by this reaction has a kinetic energy of around 3 million electron volts. An electron volt is the...

Hello, What methods are there to turn a moving proton or any positively charged ion into electricity. Does a positively charged ion, when moving, create an electromagnetic field like an electron will? If it moves through a negatively charged field of similar strength, slowing it down in effect...

Imagine an electric field created by a electricity running through a looped wire. Leaving all other variables exactly the same, would the strength of the electric field inside the loop be less if the wire is insulated? Thanks!

So I have thought about this some more and have one more question. Let's say R2 does not turn on the flash light on the back the rocket ship until a few seconds after it takes off. We have stated that in the frame of reference of R1, R2 is moving at less than the speed of light. So that light...

Thanks a lot! So do we see in the observable universe objects, from our frame of reference, moving away from each other at faster than the speed of light?

Hey, I am 6 hours into a 12 hour audio course on Relativity. I love the course, but the bad thing is that you obviously can't ask questions. So here is a thought experiment I was hoping people could help me with. I am an observer standing between two rocket ships, R1 and R2. Each rocket...

Hello, please forgive my ignorance. I need help coming up with a formula I can't seem to find on the internet. Assume I have a magnet that can attract a maximum of 5kg iron sphere against gravity from a distance .2m. My question is how much could that same magnet attract at a distance of .1m...
