Fusor reactor Most popular nuclear reactor to build.
INERTIAL-ELECTROSTATIC CONFINEMENT (IEC) OF A FUSION PLASMA reactor. When the public builds a nuclear reactor this is usually what it is.
Polywell Fusor reactor Fusor improved upon by the USA navy. Side note: The polywell design could also be buit in a circle giving the best of both worlds for a polywell and a tokamak reactor.
Focus Fusion Reactor How to build a 1 billion degree focus fusion reactor. Side note: the focus fusion reactor can be used to heat a plasma in a process known as Neutral-Beam injection. This could be used to jump start the polywell reactor or another any other plasma reactor. Best of all its a great way to heat plasma at home with a high energy generator powering it of course.
Fuser combined with a traditional reactor using a fusor and fuel pellets. See compounds at bottom of page for making those pellets.
Home-made light water reactor 2. Build a real nuclear reactor without radioactive material.
Basic fusion reactor What science loves to play with.
Homemade Deuterium-tritium fusion reactor This would be experimental at best.
Simple homdemade nuclear reactor Very simple nuclear reactor to build.
Fusion for electricy production. This is how fusion usually would work for producing electricty.

Ways to heat a plasma.
1. Ohmic Heating - The plasma can be heated to temperatures up to 20-30 million K through the current passing through the plasma. It is called ohmic or resistive heating; the heat generated depends on the resistance between the plasma and current. However, as temperature rises, resistance drops, making this form of heating less and less effective. Other methods are neccessary in addition in order to heat the plasma to required temperatures.
2. Neutral-Beam Injector - High energy, neutral atoms are shot into the plasma, and are immediately ionized. These ions then get trapped by the magnetic fields, and transfer some of their energy to the surrounding plasma particles through collisions, thus raising the overall temperature. Author side note: THE FOCUS FUSION REACTOR IS GREAT FOR THIS. USE ITS PARTICLES TO HEAT A SECONDARY PLASMA!!!
3. Magnetic Compression - The plasma can be heated through a rapid compression, which is possible by increasing the magnetic field. In the tokamak, this compression occurs by moving the plasma to an area of a higher magnetic field.
4. Radiofrequency Heating - High-frequency waves are launched into the plasma through the use of oscillators. If the waves have the right wavelength, their energy can be transferred into certain particles, which then transfer the energy through collisions with others.

How to make elements or matter. Pretty much a overall review of making atomic matter. Not practical but good if your SOL(*?&! out of luck). For those hard to get items.
Building particle or ion guns. These come in handy sometimes. Can be used to transmute elements.
Making matter misc. parts. Stuff you might need to make matter.
How to transmute elements Good for those hard to get items. Shows how to make some things you might need.
How to seperate isotopes(Example: hydrogen and oxygen are isotopes of water(H20). Again, also good for those hard to get items.
Making radiation Ok, lets make some homemade radiation. (X-rays or Gamma rays).
How to make parts for your reactor or peaceful nuclear research projects. This is called a home foundry. Simple way to make metal parts or build an entire machine shop from scrap metal, sand, and a little bit of wood. With books from Lindsay publications and a good computer and software there is no limit to what you can do.
