Fascinating story, I remember seeing a documentary about it a good few years back.

Apparently he was arrested a few months ago with more smoke detectors. Now in his 30s, looks a little worse for wear from his childhood experiments, open sores all over his face..:eek:

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence," so the saying goes. I can't and don't expect you to believe me when I say that fusion can be done on your kitchen table with a Farnsworth Fusor. Therefore, I need to provide you with some sort of hard proof in order to convince you.
