Hudhayfa Nazoordeen, a mathematics undergraduate at the University of Waterloo, has successfully constructed a fusor—a device capable of initiating nuclear fusion—right in his bedroom. What makes this feat even more remarkable? Hudhayfa had no prior experience with hardware. Instead, he relied on guidance from Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet AI assistant, utilising the power of artificial intelligence to navigate the complex and intricate process. Here's how he made it happen: Hudhayfa's journey began with a steep learning curve. With no background in hardware, he dedicated the first week to understanding the fundamental design of a fusor and familiarising himself with the necessary tools and components, primarily sourced from McMaster-Carr. Once Hudhayfa was confident in his theoretical understanding, he began the practical work. The project started with the assembly of the fusor’s main chamber and a half-bridge rectifier. During the second week, as the parts arrived, Hudhayfa meticulously built the chamber, setting up the system in his bedroom. The assembly process was highly intricate, involving precise connections and adjustments to create the conditions necessary for fusion. One of the most challenging aspects of the project was achieving a high vacuum environment to facilitate the fusion process. Hudhayfa used a MKS-901p transducer to establish and measure the vacuum, feeding all relevant data into Claude 3.5 Sonnet to troubleshoot and optimise the setup. His persistence paid off after a week-long struggle with a vacuum leak, finally reducing the pressure to the required 25 micron. In the fourth week, Hudhayfa's efforts culminated in a successful plasma generation using a 12kV neon sign transformer. Although the experiment did not achieve full nuclear fusion, it was a significant milestone. Claude 3.5 Sonnet, a part of Anthropic's latest AI model family, played a pivotal role in Hudhayfa’s project. The AI assistant provided real-time feedback, guided him through complex problem-solving tasks, and even helped in the interpretation of data sheets and hardware configurations. Figures like Michael Liesenfelt, a nuclear engineer, and software engineer at Tesla, have praised Hudhayfa’s work, seeing it as a demonstration of how AI can democratise access to advanced scientific knowledge and experimentation.
