LPP has set up a Wishlist on their site for used equipment. Spread the word! Find the stuff:
LPP needs your help!!! Our quest for Focus Fusion and X-Scan requires certain expensive equipment, for which we don’t have the funding. Perhaps you or a company you know about has these pieces of equipment sitting around or being thrown out. We’d love to have them! We have already received some great used equipment from a local company, based on the suggestion from a fusion fan, so we thought we’d put together a wish list and see what else we could get in this way. It never hurts to ask!
– Oscilloscopes
– 2 LeCroy Wavepro 960 or similar: 4-channel
– 1 Tektronix MSO4104B or similar: 1 GHz, 4-channel, semi-portable for checking things in the reactor room
– Mass Spectrometer
– UV-VIS Spectrometer
– Neutron Detector with associated equipment
– X-Ray Source (like used by dentists) for calibrating our X-ray detectors
– Small Lathe for those small jobs that we don’t want to send to the machinist
– Digital Geiger Counter for, you know, measuring any radioactivity
– BIG Capacitors: must handle 45 kV, 9-10 microfarads (perhaps sitting around in a hospital or research lab basement somewhere)
– Framing Camera: for capturing “video” of the of the plasmoid formation process (this is our dream camera that costs about $500K)
