any teenager can make one...if the school provides them with the facility, equipment and permission to carry out the experiment...honestly there is nothing special about this boy....he just got the opportunity

I had the knowledge at 13 I wanted to make one but every dream needs one thing and it's money

Give me the equipment and resources and I could have built this at 13. Hell, we all could have built it at 10! With a shitload of money and support from ... yeah, WHERE FROM?!

In order to achieve nuclear fusion you need to collide particles with 0, 7 MeV kinetic energy, something that can be done at 10^8 Kelvin or, for deuterium, accelerated from 700.000 Volt. This kids used 18.000 Volts to accelerate the deuterium at room temperature, while even for X rays they use at least 20.000 Volts. I praise this boy for his try, but I don't think he managed nuclear fusion. I welcome anyone who can convince me for the opposite.

I hate to be a hater but...
He isn't a inventor or innovator, he literally just followed an instruction manual to build something.
think of it as a lego set with a very big price tag...

If you're in America you would get cuffs even mentioning you're trying to build a Nuclear fusion reactor

This guy needs to be nurtured. He's hopefully the future of the energy crisis given the right opportunities
