#69 Creating Nuclear Fusion and Flamethrowers With Jackson Oswalt
Jackson Oswalt is a Guinness World Record holder for being the youngest ever person to achieve nuclear fusion at just 12 years of age.
Now 16 and aiming to get into MIT, we chat about how an "average" student like Jackson got the idea to create a nuclear reactor, how he built it, the science behind it, the media attention and what he has been working on since (including the flamethrower in the picture!).
