Nuclear fusion is the energy source of the future - and will probably always remain that. Ignoring that platitude 😉, I have the feeling that the unprecedented reduction in cost of renewable energy sources (especially solar and batteries) may very well reduce research into fusion because it might prove impossible to make profitable without immense government subsidies in the face of ultra cheap solar energy.

He passed out refractive grids for us to look at the samples through, so we could get a basic understanding of chromatography. Most memorable high school class ever!

This is some of the absolute best content on youtube. I genuinely appreciate how thorough you are and how much you care about the material. I also really appreciate you not telling people "don't try this at home" just because it's dangerous. Fear kills minds and exploration is rarely safe. Keep going.

@@TechIngredients If the neon sign transformer is center taped and the center tap is at ground potential, you only need 2 diodes for full wave operation. Connect the anode of each diode to each of the outputs and tie the two cathodes together for your HV+ output. This way, you'll only get half the peak voltage out, but since your using a variac to run the transformer at a much lower voltage anyway, and you don't need the full potential the neon sign transformer is capable of, it's a moot point. Another type of transformer that will work are the transformers from old oil furnace burners. these provide a constant arc that ignites the fuel air mixture. Though, i don't know if those are usually center tapped or not.
My wife and I really enjoy your videos. You make the concepts fun and easy to understand. We really appreciate your hard work. Please keep sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.
at this point when i see a video from tech ingredients, i just open it before reading the caption or looking at the thumbnail. and what do i see there? an hour long video? about nuclear fusion? YES, PLEASE
I retired as an electrician with an insatiable interest in learning more about electricity and electronics. I was trained as an educator and I must congratulate you on your presentations. They are excellent for their thoroughness. Easy to follow your reasoning.
Great video! You made a small mistake describing radioactivity: Shorter half life means it's *more* radioactive. Even the simplest tritium-powered glow-in-the-dark keychain sticks can contain multiple *Curies* of tritium. This is why Uranium, even enriched, with a very long half life is far safer to handle than an equivalent amount(by weight) of tritium.
Thanks for bringing up the danger of radiation, of which there are several types - each with different properties. I'd love to know how much is given off by the plasma tube... (The glass will shield alpha and attenuate beta, so building the geiger müller tube into the plasma tube - probably impossible?) Uranium being only a weak alpha emitter is easily stopped - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium#Military Tritium is a low energy beta emitter, requiring better shielding - hence more dangerous than Uranium - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium#Health_risks ABCs of Radiation - ruclips.net/video/qjkTzk8NAxM/видео.html - highly recommended explaining the difference in types and dangers. The Illinois EnergyProf channel has *a lot on this subject - it's sooo interesting* - not only on radiation, but fission/fusion in general. ruclips.net/channel/UCKH_iLhhkTyt8Dk4dmeCQ9w Btw - I got notified, I always seem to do. Perhaps analytics isn't behaving?
@@EgonSorensen There would be no detectable ionizing radiation produced. The acceleration voltage(of just a few kV) is far too low. The tube is 100% safe in that regard.
@@uploadJ - "Ionizing particles are one thing, UV EM "radiation" is another ..." - but both are still radioactive phenomena... "Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a *helium* nucleus. Alpha particle emissions are generally produced in the process of alpha decay, but may also be produced in other ways." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionizing_radiation#Alpha_particles
Would be interesting to see how the supply voltage variations have effect on the plasma characteristics. Loved this one and looking forward to the next in this series.. Thank you for all the amazing content over the years and keep up the good work ! :-)
When I was in 9th grade, I had a biology teacher who would get up in front of the class each day, tell us what chapter to read in the book, and then would sit down at his desk for the rest of the day. He never did any demonstrations, he never did any lectures, and he only ever had us do 2 projects, one of which was a self-sustaining terrarium made out of soda bottles. I can't even remember the other project. The second semester of the same class, a brand new teacher took over and he was highly interactive, doing fun lectures, giving us fun projects to do like filtering pond water with the goal of having clear, neutral pH, odor free water (nobody was going to drink it though!). It was probably the funnest science class I ever had in my 12 years of school. The point here is that people learn way more when the lectures are interesting, and this channel's presentation is amazing for that. It's just enough theory and demonstration that makes it so easy to watch.
I've been subscribed for a little over a year at this point (I think I subbed around the time of the turbojet videos). I'm so glad to see this channel growing and blowing up like it should. It's truly the future that educational content like this exists on the internet for free and is as entertaining as it is.
@@markspc1 not to derail the vid topic, but after all this modeling madness with the civid, does anyone still religiously believe the global warming models? I mean I've heard people say the science is settled and you cannot have an opinion if you are not a certain type of scientist.
@@sumduma55 Global warming IS happening. Quibbling over the cause is like arguing over who led us into the quick sand instead of worrying about how to deal with an ever changing, and worsening, event. It is not the first time this has happened. There were lush forests on Antarctica in areas when they were closer to the pole than they are today. With even higher CO² levels. It is not the Temps that are the largest problem we face, it is what to do with all the people and how to feed them on the reduced land mass.
@@sumduma55 You can have them... just cannot say them out loud. LOL. It would be like your career was a friend of the Clintons and going to "tell all".
Safety note: The vacuum is a conductor and depending on how you have your power supply (transformer) wired, current could pass from the electrodes through the vacuum in the connecting tubing to one or both metal valves. For example if one electrode is also a ground and you touch the valve on the high-side you might get zapped. Don't touch the valve at both ends at the same time. Cheers, Mark *************************
Just finished watching. I made a Farnsworth-Hirsch fusion reactor demonstration a few years ago, you probably know about those already but it was incredibly cool to see the little ball of plasma in the middle. Also had made a wine bottle 'particle accelerator' with a stainless ring about 2/3 the way down the bottle where the electrons would accelerate towards, but some would miss and hit the phosphor at the bottom of the bottle. I did all this with a high voltage power supply I built using a Variac and a NST, but I also had a voltage multiplier. I forget the name of the person who invented the design, but it uses a series of capacitors and diodes to multiply and rectify the voltage. Anyway, this was very interesting to watch!
I sometimes put on your videos and say I'll just watch this for 5 mins and then I'll do whatever I'm meant to do but I always end up watching the whole video, they're so interesting and filled with fascinating information that I just get engrossed in them.
This is like my 10th video of yours I’ve seen and I’m hooked! I wish I hadn’t changed my major in undergrad from physics to poly sci! Definitely wouldn’t have had I had professors as engaging as you! Keep up the amazing work good sir ... and team!

I worked for 26 years on the JET Tokamak fusion energy experiment. I am glad to say that the UK government has provided funding for UK’s first prototype fusion energy power plant at West Burton A site in Nottinghamshire, a decommissioned coal-fired electricity generation plant.

"In episode 3, we build a fusion reactor. And after that we will probably have a two-part episode as we look into a cold fusion. Thank you very much for watching, stay safe, have a nice evening." I love this channel.
Very good demonstration. You are combining tid-bits of knowledge, which many have, into a tacit demonstration. Which reduces/organizes/combines these "tid-bits" into a better organized theme. Hard stop. Thank you for your efforts! You are reaching engineers, even old ones like myself. -bill Keep on doing what you are doing.
The higher molecular weight of D2O compared to H2O slows down chemical reactions somewhat, but I don't know when or if it becomes a health problem. Maybe if you slow them down enough, you'll live longer! DISCLAIMER: Do not consume heavy water. Set aside your heavy water budget, and send it to me instead. I guarantee it will be safer than drinking it, internal use of household disinfectants, or cleansing your body of viruses using UV light.

I can't believe I just found this channel. I love the builds and how educational these videos are. I also liked the casual Coady's Lab reference. Thank you for the great content.
This was the most detailed video on plasma tube I could find ❤
Congratulations on 400.000 subscribers. One of the best channels on RUclips that creates meaningful quality content.
"It might be safe to drink if i was daring, or Cody. " lol :) one of the many smaller reasons i love this channel.
I love this channel more and more every episode. Just brilliant.
He's amazing.
Welly explained
The mentioning of Cody's Lab in this video warms my soul in a different way ❤️
The projects really get more fun and frightening with every new vdeo :D
"It's a beautiful thing." The best part is how well presented are the subjects. I recall I had exactly one professor as good as this. Charming to listen, to absorb the knowledge.

This guy is so full of knowledge in many different fields and expends so much of time and assets to teach anyone who is interested should be commended for his efforts. He is inspiring many young people to go into science and make a positive difference in our world. Thank you sir.
Being a retired engineer, and realizing I have learned more about fusion in the last 50 minutes then I ever have. You are a gifted scientist and I thank you so much for publishing such quality content.
You're welcome!
Stay tuned.
Humanity is very fortunate to have people like yourself, your understanding and clarity is immense, thank you. 👏🏻
Mr. Tech is the best science in our universe. God bless you, live long and prosper, keep going to the stars and beyond. Paul Rice Lake Charles, LA, USA.
The details in your videos are amazing. Like heating poly tubing to remove fittings, etc. You seem to think of everything.
I am no rocket doctor,nor am I a brain scientist,in fact anyone who reads this will be happy that spell check was at full song during this comment. This is the most informative,entertaining and educational channel for the average Lehman or accredited scientist, I quit school in my senior year,2 months pre- graduation,a regrettable move. This fellow makes learning entertaining,and I believe he is beginning to " get" humor! Once again,thank you,A loyal subscriber
This is some of the absolute best content on youtube. I genuinely appreciate how thorough you are and how much you care about the material. I also really appreciate you not telling people "don't try this at home" just because it's dangerous. Fear kills minds and exploration is rarely safe. Keep going.
Yep - my chain saw, table saw, bandsaw, miter, copper plating station, welding equipment are all dangerous. . . .
my favorite science youtube channel
I love how you explain everything in popular terms, easy to understand
also I can appreciate how well you prepare for each of your videos, I know it takes a lot of work and effort
16:24 Ah ah ah... After a full wave rectifier the pulses come out at 2x the line frequency :)

Great comment!
@@TechIngredients If the neon sign transformer is center taped and the center tap is at ground potential, you only need 2 diodes for full wave operation. Connect the anode of each diode to each of the outputs and tie the two cathodes together for your HV+ output. This way, you'll only get half the peak voltage out, but since your using a variac to run the transformer at a much lower voltage anyway, and you don't need the full potential the neon sign transformer is capable of, it's a moot point.
Another type of transformer that will work are the transformers from old oil furnace burners. these provide a constant arc that ignites the fuel air mixture. Though, i don't know if those are usually center tapped or not.
My wife and I really enjoy your videos. You make the concepts fun and easy to understand. We really appreciate your hard work. Please keep sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.
Thanks!
We will.
at this point when i see a video from tech ingredients, i just open it before reading the caption or looking at the thumbnail.
and what do i see there? an hour long video? about nuclear fusion? YES, PLEASE
Opens the video with a casual "fusion... thermonuclear fusion energy"

Thanks!
Me at the beginning of this video: No way I'm gonna watch a 50 minute video about plasma tubes...
Me 50 minutes later: Is it over already??
I was just about to comment the same thing. Epic vid as always :)
Yup.
didn't realize it was that long ...
Just incredible how interesting it gets to be, even when he's just talking about mere plastic or valves.
It's two hours after my bedtime, Didn't even know it.
Great video!
You made a small mistake describing radioactivity: Shorter half life means it's *more* radioactive. Even the simplest tritium-powered glow-in-the-dark keychain sticks can contain multiple *Curies* of tritium.
This is why Uranium, even enriched, with a very long half life is far safer to handle than an equivalent amount(by weight) of tritium.
Thanks for bringing up the danger of radiation, of which there are several types - each with different properties. I'd love to know how much is given off by the plasma tube...
(The glass will shield alpha and attenuate beta, so building the geiger müller tube into the plasma tube - probably impossible?)
Uranium being only a weak alpha emitter is easily stopped - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium#Military
Tritium is a low energy beta emitter, requiring better shielding - hence more dangerous than Uranium - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium#Health_risks
ABCs of Radiation - ruclips.net/video/qjkTzk8NAxM/видео.html - highly recommended explaining the difference in types and dangers.
The Illinois EnergyProf channel has *a lot on this subject - it's sooo interesting* - not only on radiation, but fission/fusion in general.
ruclips.net/channel/UCKH_iLhhkTyt8Dk4dmeCQ9w
Btw - I got notified, I always seem to do. Perhaps analytics isn't behaving?
re: " I'd love to know how much is given off by the plasma tube..."
Ionizing particles are one thing, UV EM "radiation" is another ...
@@EgonSorensen There would be no detectable ionizing radiation produced. The acceleration voltage(of just a few kV) is far too low.
The tube is 100% safe in that regard.
re: "Shorter half life means it's more radioactive. "
Look up: Technetium-99m
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technetium-99m#Medical_uses
@@uploadJ - "Ionizing particles are one thing, UV EM "radiation" is another ..." - but both are still radioactive phenomena...
"Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a *helium* nucleus. Alpha particle emissions are generally produced in the process of alpha decay, but may also be produced in other ways." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionizing_radiation#Alpha_particles
Would be interesting to see how the supply voltage variations have effect on the plasma characteristics. Loved this one and looking forward to the next in this series.. Thank you for all the amazing content over the years and keep up the good work ! :-)
More electrons flying away from the tungsten cathode so the material will deplete faster. Maybe some more light...
When I was in 9th grade, I had a biology teacher who would get up in front of the class each day, tell us what chapter to read in the book, and then would sit down at his desk for the rest of the day. He never did any demonstrations, he never did any lectures, and he only ever had us do 2 projects, one of which was a self-sustaining terrarium made out of soda bottles. I can't even remember the other project.
The second semester of the same class, a brand new teacher took over and he was highly interactive, doing fun lectures, giving us fun projects to do like filtering pond water with the goal of having clear, neutral pH, odor free water (nobody was going to drink it though!). It was probably the funnest science class I ever had in my 12 years of school.
The point here is that people learn way more when the lectures are interesting, and this channel's presentation is amazing for that. It's just enough theory and demonstration that makes it so easy to watch.
Thanks!
I've been subscribed for a little over a year at this point (I think I subbed around the time of the turbojet videos). I'm so glad to see this channel growing and blowing up like it should. It's truly the future that educational content like this exists on the internet for free and is as entertaining as it is.
The magnetic effects from 47:00 did my head in. That's fantastical, amazing, magic and whoa.
I remember the old phrase "Fusion the energy of the future, always has been, always will be"
sdswartz2000 H-ha-ha just like GLOBAL WARMING/CLIMATE CHANGE: we only have 12 years...
markspc1 uhuh
@@markspc1 not to derail the vid topic, but after all this modeling madness with the civid, does anyone still religiously believe the global warming models?
I mean I've heard people say the science is settled and you cannot have an opinion if you are not a certain type of scientist.
@@sumduma55
Global warming IS happening. Quibbling over the cause is like arguing over who led us into the quick sand instead of worrying about how to deal with an ever changing, and worsening, event.
It is not the first time this has happened. There were lush forests on Antarctica in areas when they were closer to the pole than they are today. With even higher CO² levels.
It is not the Temps that are the largest problem we face, it is what to do with all the people and how to feed them on the reduced land mass.
@@sumduma55
You can have them... just cannot say them out loud. LOL.
It would be like your career was a friend of the Clintons and going to "tell all".
If only you had been my science teacher! I love your “bedside manner” as it were. Always comprehensible and understandable
Safety note: The vacuum is a conductor and depending on how you have your power supply (transformer) wired, current could pass from the electrodes through the vacuum in the connecting tubing to one or both metal valves. For example if one electrode is also a ground and you touch the valve on the high-side you might get zapped. Don't touch the valve at both ends at the same time.
Cheers, Mark

Just finished watching. I made a Farnsworth-Hirsch fusion reactor demonstration a few years ago, you probably know about those already but it was incredibly cool to see the little ball of plasma in the middle. Also had made a wine bottle 'particle accelerator' with a stainless ring about 2/3 the way down the bottle where the electrons would accelerate towards, but some would miss and hit the phosphor at the bottom of the bottle. I did all this with a high voltage power supply I built using a Variac and a NST, but I also had a voltage multiplier. I forget the name of the person who invented the design, but it uses a series of capacitors and diodes to multiply and rectify the voltage. Anyway, this was very interesting to watch!
That's a Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier.
CambridgeMart thats it!
I sometimes put on your videos and say I'll just watch this for 5 mins and then I'll do whatever I'm meant to do but I always end up watching the whole video, they're so interesting and filled with fascinating information that I just get engrossed in them.
That's nice to hear.
Thanks!
Great videos! I really appreciate the information density chosen, and the super nice builds. Thanks.
This is like my 10th video of yours I’ve seen and I’m hooked! I wish I hadn’t changed my major in undergrad from physics to poly sci! Definitely wouldn’t have had I had professors as engaging as you! Keep up the amazing work good sir ... and team!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for covering this topic, I can’t wait to see how and where you go with this in the future.
Yet again you have surpassed yourselves on the quality of the video and the quality of the content.
Thanks!
This is what I do, I learn things from you tube as I'm entertained whether it's you or the Auto Mechanics I follow.
This is just amazing, these videos feel short for us who love the content. Keep it coming!
I would love to have that physics teacher when I was in highschool... Great video! So much knowledge...

Thank you so so so much, man! The way you talk about things and your explanations are so incredibly interesting and understandable! Huge honor to watch and listen to you. I am a huge fan of your channel and love and admire the things and the projects you guys do. You are truly just incredible!!!
I wish my teachers at school had been so good at demonstrating & explaining PHYSICS. - If they had, I might have had a completely different career.

Shout out to CODY'S LAB too.
LOL @ "If I was daring...or if I was Cody" (as in Cody's Lab, who actually drank some heavy water)
One day he'll say "if i was daring or i was Samy" about a security system of some persuasion and almost nobody will get it. :(
A Russian guy, nuclear plant ex-employee, released some videos in which he a makes wide range of intriguing claims regarding the nuclear issue, an example being taking swims in the water thats cooling the rods, a single vid used to be on YT, might still be.
@@naturallawprinciples "ex-employee" hopefully the video's still up then, care to link it? I'd watch a crazy russian dude swimming in a nuclear cooling tank any day XD
you also have some quite interesting videos on your playlists to be watching a video like this XD
YES. I had to pause after this sentence so I could finish laughing my ass off. Hahahahaha, we love you, Cody.
Considering diterium naturally occurs on water, you probably have :)
“Today we’re going to begin a series on thermonuclear fusion”

If the world ever ended you, Electroboom, Cody, Nurdrage, and Adam Savage are definitely my first five people I'd pick on my Apocalypse team.
Personally I cannot stand Adam Savage, but yeah I totally get that. Their bunker would be boppin to fusion-powered tunes, running a laser disco. Or if not, I'd make it that way.
PLUS just imagine the eyebrows! It would be amazing.
But Hineyman could train us a bunch of war lions
Your clear explanation of how plasmas work and your equipment design and hands-on practical (engineering) skills are the best I have seen.

heavy water might be even safe to drink.. if i was daring or i was Cody.
haha, pretty sure all the viewers are going to get the reference :D
CANDU nuclear power plants developed by AECL in Canada use heavy water
The higher molecular weight of D2O compared to H2O slows down chemical reactions somewhat, but I don't know when or if it becomes a health problem. Maybe if you slow them down enough, you'll live longer!
DISCLAIMER: Do not consume heavy water. Set aside your heavy water budget, and send it to me instead. I guarantee it will be safer than drinking it, internal use of household disinfectants, or cleansing your body of viruses using UV light.
