Why I am creating a fusor for my personal project can be boiled down to two reasons.
College
I would like to major in the field of nuclear physics and attend a college ranked highly in the field of nuclear engineering. This project would put me at the 15th student in high school in the world (that I am aware of) to produce neutrons in my fusor. Not only that but I will have the largest homemade, tabletop fusor in the world (again as I know) measuring at 8 inches in diameter. Most people have no clue what any of that means. I believe that this will show my incentive, knowledge, and passion for my ideal career in the future.
Personal Project
Every sophomore at my school has to complete a personal project such as starting a club or organization. For my project I am creating this fusor. I understand that I will probably not be finished with this inside the school year therefor I may have to use my demonstration fusor which I am working on currently.
