I think the $10,000 power bill, or the meter melting out of the service box, might be an indication that you need to have an understanding of what your son is working on.

I've done it (by accident).
I doubt a machine could help.

But can he cut the grass in a straight line?
This is the only thing my Dad cared about. Did you know grass grows in a specific direction?

I always had to cut it in a different direction each time so it wouldn't "grow that way".

Well... what happens?

If true, this kid just made the self proclaimed genius’ at the LHC look like chumps. For whatever he spent to achieve fusion v what was spent in Europe
I’m doubtful however that it’s fact as written
Containing it would be a major problem

cold fusion has been around for years, it's not hard to look up how to do online and purchase all the parts
there's literally an instructables on how to it too

If the kid is smart enough to build a nuclear reactor in his basement, he's smart enough to either steal electricity from his neighbor or make his smart meter report wrong.

50kV at miliampere current isn't going to run up anyone's power bill. That's like a couple of novelty plasma spheres. This thing runs on a common 15A 120V outlet with ease.

Skunk Works recently filed a patent for a "miniature" nuclear fusion reactor. If they're successful this will be a major game changer for space travel.
Why?

1. Family can't be that smart, they misspelled Jaxon.
And B. Reserving final judgment until I know if "Jackson" is in the top third of the lineup and what positions he plays on his Travel Ball team.

I concur, I’m highly skeptical.

How the frick is this legal??? How was he able to obtain any of this? How did he pay for it? How did he obtain any of the Deuterium gas? How high is his fricking electic bill? Most of this shite is regulated by the NRC and requires frick tons of permits to possess? I am beyond skeptical of this. Ive been reading about atomic bombs. Thermonuclear bombs. Fission, fusion. all of this jazz all week. I literally thought to myself that if the gubbament came i would tell them im a poor as frick baw and would have no chance of building anything like that. Now that i see that a 14yr old can achieve fusion i guess i can actually see an atomic explosion for the price of some fricking bubble gum.

You are grossly uneducated for someone who is claiming to have done much reading about this topic.
