And then there's this kid. Who builds a nuclear fusion reactor in his home. And he was 13.

I wonder who is going to make bank in life? Hmmm....let me think on this....

Yeah I seen that a little bit ago.
At least the parents backed him,I'm pretty certain this will carry him far in life if he doesn't stop now.
He'll probably be the one that graduates college in a year.
Better than I could do.

Not bad, but I think the article blew it a bit out of proportion. That kid is definitely going places, no question.

A fuctioning fusion reactor for $10K... no way. Just a single vacuum pump would cost that much, or more!

At least the kid didn't follow in David Hahn's footsteps.

Yes, that is radiation burns on his face from collecting Americium from smoke detectors to fuel his reactor.

Good Lord...I have heard of him (Hahn) and his exploits in the past but only now did I read into it extensively.

He was basically the Edgar Allen Poe of our time. In science instead of literature. An extremely brilliant mind, but flawed. And spiralling uncontrollably into a mixture of mental illness and substance abuse until an untimely death............Damn man, just damn.

Damn... And they got all gushy about clockboy.

Wonder if that kid will end up with one of those cool jobs where your office is 40 stories below ground...
