This absolutely blows my mind. What an intellect! I think it is so cool that someone that age has the mindset and drive to spend the hours it took to create it.
He began working on the fusion reactor at 12 years old, after concluding that he didn’t want to dedicate his leisure time solely to playing games like Fortnite. He began scouring the Internet for nuclear-related things because that’s what he says held his interest. Yes — at 12 years old. He converted an old playroom in his Memphis home into a functioning lab.
With the financial support of his parents – he spent between $8,000 and $10,000 over the course of a year collecting the parts he needed.
My only thought? Parents made a very sound financial decision. They essentially just paid 8-10 grand for a guaranteed free-ride at MIT.
Worthy read.
