He lives in Lakeside, Virginia, with his cats and likes to pass on his knowledge and collaborate with others on projects. So he invites amateur scientists from all over the United States to meet at his home once a year to check out his reactor and share their inventions.<\/p>\n<p>SUBSCRIBE: <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/vR6Acb\">https:\/\/goo.gl\/vR6Acb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>#FusionReactor #NuclearFusion #amateur<\/p>\n<p>This story is a part of our Frontiers series, where we bring you front and center to the dreamers, pioneers, and innovators leading society at the cutting edge.
