..begins a request from "Christopher, G4ZHT (London)" published in the February 2009 issue of the Radio Society of Great Britain's magazine.
He continues, "I want to use the output to test to see if I can initiate a thermonuclear fusion reaction. The experiment is to put a tube of low pressure hydrogen in the inductor of a tuned circuit and see if it will start a fusion reaction. If it does, the tuned circuit will be able to maintain oscillations by the energy of the fusion reactions. I will provide the tube of hydrogen and an outline design of a circuit matched into 50 Ω. This is intended as a new source of power.
"The experiment is a bit dangerous as I understand it may be difficult to stop the nuclear reactions once they start. There is a danger from radiation and a possible nuclear explosion if the power runs away."
