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.

Welcome to the forum. Don't blow anything up :smile:
 
Thank you!
 
Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.
