But with all these things, you put more energy in than you get out, so it's not really that useful.

Pseudo-science at its finest. You need millions of degrees to get the deuterium nucleus to fuse with another.

In the mid '80s we managed to fire a small plastic projectile about 60 feet in the air using a plastic pipe. The people from the TA place across the road were politely firm about it.

I'm not surprised they were peeved, you had more serious hardware than they did...

[Old Greg]

it's not like the good old days where you could buy Sodium Chlorate at the local hardware shop, a bag of sugar, find some copper pipe in your dad's shed and blow up a railway bridge (like I did when I was 15). Problem being, it kinda gets you noticed

Kid next door bought 3 Glocks, a Barrett 50 cal, and a Sherman Tank.

The Sherman was a misdescription so he send the Tommy Cooker back for a refund.

Should I be worried?

That's amazing the sun requires a temperature of millions of degrees for nuclear fusion and here it is at room temperature.

Yeah, but this thing requires 40KV. The sun just needs gravity.

A friend of mine's 13 year old son built a time machine, now just rusting in the cellar.

Great stuff

When I was 12 I got no mention at all for discovering a method of captivating methane gas by farting in the bath and collecting the bubbles.

And it's still your greatest achievement...

He got like 300 words in the guardian for a nuclear reaction.

Ahmed Mohamed got 20 columns for making some kind of digital clock.
