Can you buy a nuclear fusion reactor for less than $5K? It turns out you can!
If you have a few thousand dollars spare, his homemade nuclear fusion reactor could be yours today. Or perhaps you could just spend the money on something you actually need?
A former student at Marlborough Boys College in New Zealand recently made the news after attempting to sell a homemade nuclear fusion reactor. The inventor, Samuel Lee, even offered the reactor with a vial of 20 grams of deuterium oxide.
The listing includes details of what is included and reassures potential buyers that the device is, currently, safe to use.

Have some fun...
In before Mr. Fusion PICS!..................
I’d pay the dough...if...the inventor can prove that the thing actually works and continues to work.
Sounds like that Boy Scout who eventually killed himself making a reactor in his mom’s storage shed.
1.21 Gigawatts!
He didn’t die of radiation poisoning. He died of an overdose.

This guy you mean the “...Radioactive Boy Scout” or the “Nuclear Boy Scout”,... “

Wasn’t really a reactor he built a neutron source.
Lived to be almost 40, died of alcohol & cocaine abuse.
“reassures potential buyers that the device is, currently, safe to use”
Well, sure, since this is a scam and the device is not really a nuclear reactor, of course it is safe.
Neighborhood nuclear superiority:
Very nice!
I had heard that if you give a monkey a typewriter and time...
With more time better output?
Much more useful than the old Liquid Paper stuff.
Is it in a DeLorean?
“I’d pay the dough...if...the inventor can prove that the thing actually works and continues to work.”
I understand posting without reading is tradition here but you REALLY should read the description of the machine before laying out your money!
Not a scam. Just click-bait.
If it works, that will be the least of your worries............
Eeee-YAHHH--HOOOO!!!
That's long enough to travel to 1955?................
Yeah, one kid manages to invent what teams of the best scientific minds in the field of nuclear physics have struggled to create for decades.
Well, if it actually works he’s selling it much too cheap.
The Boy Scout survived without ill effect but prompted an emergency evacuation of his home and cleanup of the backyard shed as a nuclear site. Fortunately, the US government recognized his talent and lack of criminal intent and he eventually became a nuclear reactor operator for the US Navy.
