1. Potential Profile and Spectroscopic Measurements in the TU/e Fusor

2. Eindhoven University of Technology

3. The Fusor Magnetic confinement and tokamaks are complicated!
Inertial electrostatic confinement is simpler
But probably can’t be used to produce energy
Could be used to produce neutrons

4. Part I: Improving the Measuring Systems and Making Measurements

5. Spectroscopy Measurements
Fusor
Fiber Optic Cable
Shamrock Spectrometer

7. Potential Profile Measurements

9. Automated Measurements!

10. Part 2: Trying to Find a Theoretical Model to connect the two types of measurements

11. Theory: Spectroscopic Measurements
Think of a normalized spectral measurement as a PDF of Doppler shift

12. Reasons why this probably won’t work
Particles are created at different radii, so you can’t find velocity as a function of radius
It’s hard to find out exactly what region of the fusor you are imaging
There are a mix of species (with different masses) in the fusor
Different types of particles emit light
