Hello,

I am a BSME senior with NE minor graduating in August 2019 from UTA. I am very interested in fusion power, space travel, and electrical engineering (lol). I almost wish I had picked EE instead of ME. It's more interesting to me. I just joined an EE student and together we are building a demo version of a nuclear fusor (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusor) for a research project. Our primary goal is to study plasma interaction with varying cathode geometry without undergoing nuclear fusion (fusion may be a goal after our primary goals are met). I registered here to get a better understanding of some of my nuclear coursework.

Thank you.

Thank you!
 
Hello everyone, I was advised to join this community while seeking guidance on how to navigate the academic world as an independent researcher. My name is Omar, and I'm based in Groningen The Netherlands. My formal physics education ended after high school, but I have dedicated the last several years to developing a theoretical framework from first principles. My work focuses on a topological field theory (which I call Swirl-String Theory) that models particles as knotted vortex...
