This is the sort of thing that would make "some people" gather some suitable buddies to go and "visit" that town again in the middle of the night... and have a little "conversation" with the cops/judges/etc. in their own bedrooms when they are in their skivvies... alone and without anyone to back ...

For a longer term solution, you could build a "box" under the workshop directly under the fusor and other equipment, and fill that box from the top (via a hole in the floor) with liquid concrete.

Hello Bob!

Impressive resume! And you and Doug are right, that piece of paper is expensive, but hardly worth anything. At best it might get your foot in the door of your first job, but by that time you probably should already be in the room so to speak... I got the paper, and my first job was ...

vmike, that sounds cool - if you got any pics or schematics I would like to seem them! I live in a pretty active lightning area and so this would be a neat little project. (because I don't have enough already! )

This effect could be used to make a neat and simple little lightning detector...
