'Youngest person' to ever build a nuclear reactor: Boy wonder, 12, made a working atomic fusion experiment in his parent's spare room using $10,000 worth of parts from eBay
Jackson Oswalt, from Memphis, achieved nuclear fusion at the age of 12
He built the machine from vacuums, pumps and chambers bought on eBay
His findings were verified by an online forum of amateur physicists
12세 미국 남학생, 자신의 집에서 핵융합로 제작 성공 최연소 핵융합로 제작 14세 미국 남학생이 자신의 집에서 핵융합로를 만드는 데 성공했다. 멤피스 출신의 잭슨 오스왈트는 12세의 나이로 처음 핵융합로를 건설한 최연소 연구자다. 이 핵융합로는 그의 부모가 이베이에서 구입한 커스터마이즈드 진공부품, 펌프와 챔버등으로 제작되어 총 1만 달러의 비용이 들었다. *'Customised' 주문자가 원하는대로 물건을 만들어주는 제작방식 그의 연구시설은 원자들을 하나로 융합시킬 수 있는 충분한 힘으로 함께 충돌시키고 원자 안에 갇힌 에너지를 방출한다 그는 기계 제작 방법에 대한 정보를 온라인 상 에서 찾아냈고 13세 생일을 불과 몇 시간 앞둔 12세 때 지난해 1월 19일 첫 핵융합로 제작에 성공했다. 핵융합로를 만든 최연소 성공작의 이전 기록은 14세의 테일러 윌슨이 보유하고 있었다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Cheol Hwang, conpaper editor, curator |

A 14-year-old schoolboy has successfully made a nuclear fusion reactor in his family's spare room.
Jackson Oswalt, from Memphis, is believed to be the youngest person to build a functioning nuclear fusion reactor when he first accomplished the feat aged 12.
The machine was built from customised vacuums, pumps and chambers bought on eBay by his parents - costing the family a total of $10,000.
His contraption smashes together atoms with enough force to fuse them into one and this process releases energy trapped inside the atoms.
The machine (pictured) was built from customised vacuums, pumps and chambers bought on eBay by his parents. it was built using parts and expertise attained online

Information on how to build the machine was found online and on January 19 last year, mere hours before his 13th birthday, nuclear fusion was successful.
The previous record for the youngest successful mastermind behind a nuclear fusion reactor was held by Taylor Wilson, who achieved it aged 14.
He told Fox News: 'The start of the process was just learning about what other people had done with their fusion reactors.
