The Farnsworth–Hirsch fusor, or simply fusor, is an apparatus designed by Philo T. Farnsworth to create nuclear fusion. It has also been developed in various incarnations by researchers including Elmore, Tuck, and Watson, and more recently by George H. Miley and Robert W. Bussard. Unlike most controlled fusion systems, which slowly heat a magnetically confined plasma, the fusor injects "high temperature" ions directly into a reaction chamber, thereby avoiding a considerable amount of complexity. The approach is known as inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC).
Hopes at the time were high that it could be quickly developed into a practical source of fusion power. However, as with other fusion experiments, development into a generator has proven to be difficult. Nevertheless, the fusor has since become a practical source of free neutrons, and it is produced commercially for this purpose. Fusors have been assembled in low-power forms by hobbyists.
The fusor was originally conceived by Philo T. Farnsworth, better known for his pioneering work in television. In the early 1930s he investigated a number of vacuum tube designs for use in television, and found one that led to an interesting effect. In this design, which he called the multipactor, electrons moving from one electrode to another were stopped in mid-flight with the proper application of a high-frequency magnetic field. The charge would then accumulate in the center of the tube, leading to high amplification. Unfortunately it also led to high erosion on the electrodes when the electrons eventually hit them, and today the multipactor effect is generally considered a problem to be avoided.
Hours and hours have past as I merge with the emptiness.
My mind runs rampant a death like cold chills me.
I stare into outer space, want imprisons my soul.
I consult myself and then return to where I once was...
Without a sound show me the way,
Said and done, I can't stay.
Without a sound show me the way,
Cradle to Grave.
I feel as if I were dead or perhaps have never lived.
My surroundings grow colder and colder for this it is my place.
Suddenly I gaze beyond my sub-mortal solitude.
More hours pass me by, they crawl past me on hands and knees...
Chorus
Hours continue to pass,
Said and done: cradle to grave
Looking back nothing's been won,
Sorry but... I've got to leave it all behind!
Imagine yourself in a distant far off area in a far off
Place you've never been or known of before...
Imagine the full moon illuminating brightly, almost maniacally, through drifting clouds.
The cold night air shimmers as strange sounds emanate from the distance...
Imagine the feeling of extreme confusion, then mortification as you suddenly sense a presence
Before you. It beckons to you, wordless, overpowering. You've never known anything like this
Before. You attempt to utter a sound, a scream but you are unable...
Imagine the fear you felt only moments earlier mysteriously subside.
You're not sure how or why but it all seems beautiful to you.
You recall it with loving remembrance. Meanwhile the presence embarks upon you,
Closer and closer. You attempt again to utter a sound, a moan.
This time you are successful. You welcome the presence with open arms...
I lie awake, unable to move
Within myself battle reigns supreme
I've fallen victim to my own reality
Destined is the broken path that I contemplate
It sadly brought me here spawning this grievous fate
Remorse won't suffice
So it must be
... that nothing lies ahead for me
Nothing but horror.
My will has ceased
Energies drained off
Within time I am trapped in suspension
Eras bypass, I conclude there's no escape
Blackened are my eyes for I can no longer be
I have seen all that I wish I didn't see
I've been sacrificed
So it must be
Chorus
In recollection of the pain that I suffered so
Internally I rage but where can anguish go?
Anger still flows from severed veins
Anger still flows, anger still flows
As tears stream to a predestined end
So it must be.
Angels hover above in hysterical grief
What has happened here?
Spectators they gather around this cadaver
They shriek in great recoil
The Lamentation
Heaven help us all, every one of us
The realization that all that is could fall
How could this really be?
From mute sorrow to rhetorical strife
Grief contorts them all
Their savior has fallen way down from the cross
Forced to wear the thorns
Chorus
Tragedy--the slow moving figures knew
Mourn the dead -- for there is nothing we can do
He still lies there dead
Defiled in defeat
Beneath troubled skies
Angels mourn with no restrain
Chorus
Tragedy--the slow moving figures knew
I have awakened form my death sleep
Arisen from the grave in which I lay
Searching for something to sink my teeth in
To satisfy an insatiable appetite
I feast obscenely in the midnight hour
Tonight it's going to be you
You're mesmerized you are hypnotized
The darkness it beckons to you
You're my most
My most precious
My most precious blood
Gleaming, you swoon in ecstasy
Caressed and bitten you need more
Spellbound you're drained dry of blood
My veins pulsate with your vibrant juices
Heaven is near but hell's already here
And you will always belong to me
You're mesmerized, you are hypnotized
The darkness it beckons to you
Chorus
Yes, I've got you completely in my power
And before the dawn I'll be back for you
Then once again you'll swoon in ecstacy
Once again...
Chorus
I'll be back for you...
The day had fallen
To the nighttime world
The moon's light filled the sky
Its creatures made the music they make
A dense mist ascended from nowhere
Submerged within, strange woman in white
Together in darkness
For we are one.
We shall live on
Through the centuries to come.
It was her ghostly white face
Her death-cold breath
Fear sensed within my thoughts
Extended to me, plea of a brave new path
Void of human reflection
Submerged, I am no longer afraid
Chorus
Once I could hear
And once I could see
Stripped of my soul, it's all part of me
I'd be a fool to carry on
Luna...
Chorus
How long is forever?
I used to gaze up towards you, raven sky
Midnight clouds they gently sailed above
Serenity in your soothing mother's will,
Eternally an inspiration to me
But up above my head
There is a storm and lightning is everywhere
Raven Sky
It's not like before and I wonder why
And the pain t lingered on and on
An agony that you didn't understand
But I tried to endure, to withstand
You know I tried, I tried the best I can
Chorus
Why?
I wonder why it's not like before
Chorus
Now alone I gaze at the full moon
And there is death in the cold night air
Once again as they do, our paths cross
From constraint I liberate... the deed consoles
And the pain it lingers on and on
Twilight comes, yet we've just begun.
A million dreams dreamt, a million more.
I was once confused but now I've come to know,
All you could ever be to me is only skin deep.
So bide your time with me and take my hand,
You heart acher, breath taker,
Forever skin deep....
Twilight comes yet we've just begun,
In despite of the truth, you have no soul.
Alive on this earth for love with a woman like you,
I've lost all control of what's really real.
Chorus
What's left for me? Will I ever come to grips,
With myself and with you and with love only skin deep.
Chorus
But perhaps a day will come,
When we can be one and we can be whole.
How could it have come to this?
This is hell warned and preached of.
It was them they created this themselves,
And now the ashes of skeptics fill the gray sickly air.
God No!
This is the Edge of Supremacy,
How could it have come to this?
On the Edge of Supremacy,
The savage is king...
Barely dead in the petrified ooze,
Scavengers in a shimmering hell.
The world has become a panoramic nightmare,
Succumbed to the pressure of it's new way of life.
Chorus
Reduced to tears I stop to pray.
Dust Devils shimmer and laugh as they glow.
They haunt the dead seared in incandescent tombs.
How could this be real? How could it have come to this?
Chorus
Spewed up from an unknown grave
Foul and relentless enemy
Non-existent through the day
Lain in soil to fight the sun
Vindicator of the dead
Immortal enshrined
Infestation epidemic
Prime directive in full force
Corpse by day
Sustain to me unnatural life
Corpse by day
Endless nights of diabolical hunger
The subhuman way of death
Oozes from a monsters dream.
A gruesome notoriety
Desperation in its course
Vindicator of the dead
Immortal enshrined
Infestation epidemic
Prime directive in full force.
Chorus
By day a corpse, by blood a parasite
Roaming, wanting, yearning scheming
Days fade to nights as nights fade to doom
...endless doom
My words, my will and all that I am you despise
I stand accused, alone and mocked, I stare away silently
Bound and dragged through hateful masses.
"Punishment", scorn their ugly faces.
Impaling me
Iron nails ran in..
Adversary
I've been reborn
The transfiguration has taken its toll
Exalting my soul
From death I am risen in triumph regardless of you
The very embodiment of light, I now shimmer and glow
Forever hallowed be my name
As I shake your realm by its foundations
I can deliver you
For I've beared the cross...
Chorus
Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else
I've been reborn... behold
Chorus
Through darkness I've passed beyond and back
Harrowing hell so all can be free
Those bound by earthly sin must be appalled
Abduction...
There once was a wayword rhyme
Consistency.. a chilling intent
It slithers in, out and around
As it dares to emanate sound
Whether from above or below
Insistent need we've come to know
Abduction of the way it will
There is such to fulfill
Can it be? It's killing me
Abduction of all space and time
Gone past entertaining distraught
Dimensions have all crumbled before
Consciousness, a state to regress
The here and now gone out of control
Whether from above or below
Incessant lies we've come to know
Chorus
When you find yourself all alone
Amid darkest thoughts of deepest condone
Strange instincts inside of you thrust
Right or wrong, what must unveil shall prevail.. be still
Chorus
What must unveil shall prevail
Once upon a wayward rhyme
Let the night begin...
Through a black mass of drifting clouds
Shines a struggling ray of moonlight
A sudden stillness revels the air
As wolves, they howl in the distance
Ensuring total disgrace
Forever dormant in its state
The need it reaches forth
It beckons,... Ugly as sin
With impulses it fills
Ugly as sin
Devil's incarnate, a vision in black
She breaths the spirit of the night
Carnal parasite writhing in thirst
Bound by desire and dripping with fear
Ensuring total disgrace
Forever dormant in its state
Chorus
Fall to your knees as you beg
In a surge of anticipation
Swept beyond the pursuit
You cringe at my very command
Drenched with sweat, there you squirm
For the dawn it has yet to come, yet to come
Slithering in total disgrace
All that is vile has vanquished you.. you rejoice
Chorus
Here I stand, a forsaken man searching ceaselessly
If you could see inside of me, passion wills to be.
With open arms I welcome the rain
And lament its ultimate untimely demise.
All the cadavers have been exhumed
And all that remains is my return.. I have returned
Within its name I denounce
Upon all
Faith renounced.
A shadowy place, a consuming taste, frantic intrinsically
Atop the flames I'm gazing down in comprehension
It's been said that the more things change
The more they'll always come to be exactly the same
Can the profound perhaps conquer time
Or the remembrance of the future?
Remember...
Chorus
Spaces still fill the time unaligned
The ground is emptied as all comes to be.
Souls earthbound left to lay to rest
Renounce.. rebury the exhumed
All of them
Good night...
All that remains is my return
Black clouds, they hang about your head,
As judgment billows from ashes.
Black clouds, they hang about your head,
As judgment billows from ashes.
The path you chose is winding down fast,
You dug your grave now in it you must lie.
Soaring through space from another place,
Comes the dying angel.
Fly high tonight for this is the flight of...
The dying angel.
Misguided fool forever lost,
Directionless in your very spite.
Your way was hate and greed and deceit,
Ugliness shines through all that's void inside.
Chorus
Your foundations crumble as you fall unaware,
Fear cripples you as you realize.
That path you chose has wound down,
Cock back, lock and load
I got my aim, I'm ready to go home
I hit the target, right where her heart is
I'm a killer, love killer, love killer
The way she moves like Shakira
Clocks ticking, there's no time to give up
Had one, two shots of tequila, thanks for a good time I feel ya
The way she moves like Shakira
In and out of love, I'm a killer
Killer, killer, killer, killer
Now tell me, do you like it, you like it, it
Tell me how you want it, you want it, it
Tell me, do you like it, you like it
Tell me how you want it, want it, it
Tell me, do you like it, you like it, it
Tell me how you want it, want it, it
Tell me, do you like it, you like it
Tell me how you want it, you want it, killer, killer, killer, killer
In another magazines, load up
What you saying to me, hon', hold up
Ya keep saying there's no man above me
Do I love her, but she love me, silence, I never saw nothing
Fucked in the night in the car till she start coming
Set a man who get gassed of a gal
But I say the wrong thing
Then the wrong chicks start coming
The way she moves like Shakira
Clocks ticking, there's no time to give up
After one, two shots of tequila, thanks for a good time I feel ya
The way she moves like Shakira
In and out of love I'm a killer
Killer, killer, killer, killer
Now tell me, do you like it, you like it, it
Tell me how you want it, you want it, it
Tell me, do you like it, you like it
Tell me how you want it, you want it
'Cause I'm something like a killer, killer, killer
Go set me free
I'm something like a killer, killer, killer
Don't let me free, killer, killer, killer, killer
Tell me, do you like it, you like it, it
Tell me how you want it, you want it, it
Tell me, do you like it, you like it
Tell me how you want it, want it, it
'Cause I'm something like a killer, killer, killer
Go set me free
I'm something like a killer, killer, killer
Don't let me free, killer, killer, killer, killer
Now tell me, do you like it, you like it
Tell me how you want it, you want it
Tell me, do you like it, you like it, tell me how you want it, want it
