	Fusor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The fusor was originally conceived by Philo Farnsworth, the man who is largely responsible for television.
		Farnsworth reasoned that he could build an electrostatic confinement system in which the "wall" fields of the reactor were electrons or ions being held in place by the multipactor.
		Farnsworth then moved to Brigham Young University and tried to hire on most of his original lab from ITT into a new company.

		Philo Taylor Farnsworth was born in 1906 in southwestern Utah, in a log cabin built by his grandfather, a follower of the Mormon leader Brigham Young.
		Farnsworth was particularly interested in molecular theory and motors, as well as then novel devices like the Bell telephone, the Edison gramophone, and, later, the Nipkow-disc television.
		Neither Farnsworth's teacher nor anyone else around him had ever heard of the "television," which in the 1920s meant a device that mechanically scanned an image through a spinning disc with holes cut in it, then projected a tiny, unstable reproduction of what was being scanned on a screen.

		Farnsworth was a farm boy from Idaho who was plowing a field in 1920, at the age of thirteen.
		All that the country boy had was a close cadre of fellow scientificos and a bunch of impatient investors who were not interested in the glory of the invention or even the future of television but a quick return on the invested dollar.
		Farnsworth puttered around for a few more years, but died of the proverbial broken heart, and his invention --- which may have been the magic bullet for cheap, non-polluting power, died with him.
