Simple fusors that create the radiation which power can be extracted from have existed for decades. Most of these focus on creating a Farnsworth–Hirsch fusor. Recently, several people have started making home-made polywells, taking advantage of new 3D printing techniques. | Simple fusors that create the radiation which power can be extracted from have existed for decades.
