Copy of the list of Richard Hull WITHOUT purging the "Scroungers Club". Based on data last edited by Richard Hull (author) on Wed Apr 24, 2013. ======================================================================= This is a list of AMATEUR fusioneers and experimenters. It can include private individuals who receive aid and assistance which might include financial help, equipment donation and professional scientific guidance. i.e. students in high school or college doing a fusor project, science fair exhibit, etc. Scroungers list: To get on the list of assemblers of parts, just notify the list of your intent to start gathering components to make a fusor or fusion system and you will be added. NOTE: This list will be purged from time to time if the persons on it fail to post in recent times and appear to have left the forums. REASON: This a list of stated intent and not one of accomplishment. Plamsa Club: In general, The Plasma club membership requires minimalistic "proof of accomplishment". This usually takes the form of a "Demo Fusor" Images posted in the image du jour forum of the apparatus showing the grid With a plasma VISIBLE is usually sufficient to place someone in the Plasma club. Neutron Club: This usually demands that a pre-existing plasma club member indicate that he has added deuterium and has either activated a material or has supplied a neutron counter or bubble detector reading along with an image of the system with counter, bubble detector or method of activation apparatus visible beside the fusion apparatus with a full description of his run with data taken. Obviously, no one can see neutrons being produced,but we should see proof that you can actually record their passage via some sort of suitable apparatus. Basically, an applicant for the neutron club must present proof in both images and a full technical data disclosure indicating fusion has ,indeed, taken place. This evidence should show the detection system and the fusor setup itself along with all of the operational conditions during fusion and data recording. Any applicant may be questioned by any number of Neutron club members upon application and submission of proof. They should be prepared to further clarify or exhibit knowledge of the data or processes used. This list cannot include fusion work done by organizations or professional people involved in this work for pay unless the effort is done "on the side" as a personal effort. i.e. Tom Ligon - Bussard fusion effort 1.

Carl Greninger Operations Program Manager - Microsoft ************************************************************************ ********* SPECIAL LISTING - HIGH SCHOOL ACHIEVERS************ The following listing is due to the effort of Tom Ligon and represents those people in the Neutron Club who attained fusion while still in high school! Quite an accomplishment, to be sure. Michael Li - winner $75k Intel scholarship (fusor), 2003 Craig Wallace - winner $1.5k Intel 2nd place (Fusor) Adam Parker - winner of $10k Alabama scholarship in science Thiago Olson - beautiful project, passed muster with state inspectors Taylor Wilson - Youngest fusioneer - 14 years old. Tyler Christensen Ben Bartlett- Also young 14 year old. Ben attended ISEF 2009 Matthew Honickman Chad Ramey – Student of Promise Award. Grand Award Georgia State Engineering and Science fair...Beat out over 600 other exhibits. Brian McDermott Raymond Jimenez Will Jack - science fair winner with fusor Conrad Farnsworth Michal Racko - Slovakia, 17 years old, Supervisor Michal Stano PhD. I will attempt to keep this listing up dated should future high school students be inducted into the Neutron Club. ******************************************************* While most of the above have used the particle colliding, inertial electrostatic confinement, "Farnsworth fusor" device, this list is not limited to this form of fusion. Any form of actual AMATEUR, "hands-on", experimental,fusion research effort and its success will be logged here. It must be realized that this list is not regularly purged based on moribund activity. It is, instead, assembled to bear witness to any and all who have put forth some fusion related effort in the past or are working at present in the effort. Some of the folks on this list have long ago departed or ceased work in their fusion quest.
