It’s not everyday that the science fair comes around, so as a part of their AP Physics assignment, Leighton, Sam, and Nathan from Dunwoody High School decided to be ambitious. They would later plan to test various factors affecting the rate of nuclear fusion.
To achieve this feat, the three juniors would have endure a laborious process of building a homemade Farnsworth-Hirsh fusor. Not to mention, they also have to take elaborate safety precautions to prevent injuries from radiation, projectiles, etc.
Regardless, Sam, Leighton, and Nathan are determined to get it done. Not only does the project’s completion catalyzes the three’s career in science, but it also encourages the community to talk about alternative energy. These high school students understand the urgency of this century’s energy crisis, and they’re doing something about it.
