Farnsworth Fusors are fusion reactors that aren't net energy positive. They're just fascinating.
Good News, Everyone! My latest reactors are getting much better now, and yes - yes, they ARE fascinating!

The kids who build fission reactors aren't building them on a large enough scale to risk harm to anyone but themselves. By way of analogy, anyone can make a model rocket engine out of firecrackers, at the risk of blowing their fingers off. Making a solid rocket engine that can boost something into orbit an entirely different story.
What I find amusing about this story is that the kid's name is... wait for it... Farnsworth.
Yes, really.
