This thing won't explode at all. Such a small scale fusion reaction, (not trying to put the guy down AT ALL) is not new. This is not the fission reaction from a nuclear bomb, nothing is radioactive in fusion. The "Golden Grail" of fusion is a "sustained fusion reaction." Much like our Sun, we would have a radioactive free and unlimited fuel power plant.

Now that will guarantee you a Noble Prize.

Anyway, I still say that is pretty f***ing cool!!
If anything, building your own project is a teaching tool by itself. I wish I would have built one now.
