Doug Coulter - DIY Developing Nuclear Fusion Reactor in his basement

Stumbled upon this today and thought it would be interesting to share, he has his own forum where he basically open sources this and other things like guns and ammo etc.

Doug Coulter used to build signal processing and radio gadgets for our favorite three-lettered intelligence agencies, but for the past decade or so, Doug's chosen to explore his engineering interests in the isolated backwoods of Virginia, absent from any pesky boss or sticky bureaucracy.


After tiring of living with a meth head who had a trigger finger itchier than an Appalachian mosquito bite, Doug gave his ex-housemate the boot and confiscated his weapons, thus paving the way for his new found love for gunsmithing. Doug has since open sourced his gun and ammo making techniques on his well-trafficked engineering forum.

But Doug's most exciting creation is his guerilla-engineered nuclear fusion reactor. Doug's pursuit for a limitless source of clean and self-sufficient energy takes place in what he calls his "den of creative chaos," which is essentially a cluttered workshop in the entrance of his home, directly underneath his bedroom.

.....and the government/lobbyist will take that away just like all the other free usable energy inventions....

I respect his intentions and intelligence to create this, hopefully not just for himself, but this will fade away into the shadows and be forgotten...

Respects for the kool find.

A 13yo recently built a nuclear fusion reactor as a school project.. the technology is out there, you can't put it back in the box.

This guy has done nothing new except for the fact he's probably the first to do it himself .. and then he was shortly followed by a 13yo who did it as a school science project =)

And just to make a point, neither of these two nuclear reactors produce useable energy.. they both use far more energy than they produce so they aren't practical as energy sources.. the government/lobbyists would therefore have zero interest in it..
