1. That really works and makes energy or what?

2. @alexstupa15 There is a first for everything lol

3. Honestly this doesn’t look hard at all.

4. This is probably a dumb question, but when that metal contraption is turned on, is radiation passing through the metal tubing? More importantly, by standing next to the machine while in operation, are you physically subjected to radiation?

5. awesome, but how do you gain energy from the fusion reaction in this case? someone answer plz thanks :)

6. the kid make a farnsworts fusor… its not a big deal cool but not a big deal just expensive. Thing about it is its a better neutron generator than it is a fusion reactor.

7. Hoax

8. definitely FAKE just you should be enough fool to believe it (e.g….cold fusion story in south Korea….!)

9. @TheEvolutionofDX because its science! and reactor mean power, bombs mean destruction. you’re one of those annoying paranoid stereotypes that believe nuclear can only mean radiation and war. twit.

10. @alexstupa15 ty i always get those mixed up

11. @yourboycal larger that scale more the complexity, you have to input some energy in order to obtain some energy if you do it a small scale you output energy will be small so is impractical man.

12. @elchippe I know they do it on a large scale. But billy made one in his basement. If you can make a small version this easily , surley he can make a productive one where the ratio of consumption to output is lower. even in a small scale? I want one in my backyard. What do you say to that?

13. Very cool, I wish more people did stuff like this. Americans as a whole are scientifically illiterate. Plus, this would make a hell of a show piece for house parties! Well done mate!

14. @yourboycal scientists do on a large scale with the aim of producing a lot of energy and this boy did to a much smaller scale, if you want to use it to produce energy spend more to produce than using it.

15. Wow! I can’t believe the amount of idiotic comments on this video. This is FUSION you idiots! Building a fusion reactor is relatively easy. All you need is a few parts from an old CRT monitor, some transformers, and a variac, etc. However, harvesting energy from it is another story. What this kid has built is in no way dangerous. Other than some soft X-ray emissions, the worst that could happen is the tube breaks, and the device stops working.

16. Off topic I know, but can anyone tell me how the reaction in a fission reactor (power plant) is inhibited/slowed down? Just wondering why the fuel isn’t used up instantly (explosively).

17. why didn’t some goverment agency come and arrest him to have a nuclear reactor you need plutonium or some kind of radiative material which is pretty much illegal

18. @WaitWhatWasThat1

    That’s great the CIA will have a new recruit then…

19. If this were real this is a class C nuclear device which is illegal, you have been reported to the CIA

20. Amazing, but where did he get the materials?

21. See you in prison.

22. So you telling me this punk kid actually made a running stable effect nuclear fission reactor .? In his basement? What it takes millions of dollars , thousands of scientists and a shit load of equpiment to do ? Is that what im being shown in this video ? Or is someone actually gonna say something that is relevant to this video in the comment section.

23. @hal970fx
    *that this is
    I can’t brain today, I have the dumb.

24. @smeghead666
    The assertion that this somehow a ‘big middle finger’ towards anybody. I just felt like sharing some excess information. :D

25. @hal970fx What on earth compelled you to write that?
