This Amateur Physicist Built a Fusion Reactor in His Backyard

Richard Hull, a retired electronics engineer, hosts an annual gathering of amateur scientists at his home, where they share inventions and explore high-level science. Inspired by the space race and Eisenhower's call for atomic engagement, Richard became the first amateur in the U.S. to build a fusion reactor. Despite its complexity, he constructed it in his shed, viewing it as the ultimate DIY project. Richard founded the High Energy Amateur Science Group in Richmond, fostering a community of diverse individuals passionate about science. Through collaboration, they share knowledge and tackle challenges, continually learning and advancing their understanding of fusion and other scientific endeavors.
