Fusor Glow

Post by Kanastrous »

Is the glow emanating from an operating Farnsworth Fusor a manifestation of Cherenkov radiation?

I don't think so. I think its more of a plasma-based effect, something about electrons hitting the grid.

I would advise you to ask from this site: www.fusor.net

People there know the working of a fusor inside and out.
Credo!
