Neutrons!

 Hello,
Yesterday I successfully achieved fusion at 11:30 am, this was brilliant! I am waiting from fusor.net for conformation that i have actually done fusion but looking at the results I am almost certain I have.

The following images shows me operating it the reactor




 The reactor consists of many parts, some of the main ones include the vacuum pumps, high voltage supply, vacuum chamber and deutirium system.


I would like to thank the following people for helping me financially or by providing technical support.
