American teenager began his project in 12 years. He spent about 10 thousand dollars on his device.
14-year-old teenager Jackson Oswalt became the youngest designer of a fusion reactor. The device created by him is completely working, and Jackson himself can become a record holder among young nuclear physicists. This writes Science Alert.
According to the publication, the teenager created a nuclear laboratory in an old game room in his home.
A beginner nuclear engineer worked on a fusion reactor project from the age of 12, and on January 19, 2018, a few hours before his 13th birthday, he allegedly completed his task.
Oswalt conducted a fusion reaction, pushing the atoms of gaseous deuterium in the reactor. His invention breaks up the atoms with enough force to combine them into one, and this process releases the energy accumulated inside the atoms.
The teenager reactor was constructed from parts that were purchased on eBay by his parents. In general, the project took about 10 thousand dollars.
I was shocked when I read about this and honestly, I still can't believe in it. Sometimes you think how is it possible for adult people to create such things, and then you hear about some kid made crazy stuff. I just can't imagine how smart the person can be and is it really possible to be smart at this age, well, there are many other questions came up on my mind because of it. I think there is nothing impossible for us at this age anyway; we just have to remember that we can do everything. There are good examples and evidence of this which we can look up in history when in the 1960s students protests were dedicated to resolving issues involving civil rights, poverty and liberating college students.
