Step 2Make a Reaction Bead

Make a Reaction Bead
This is the most complicated part of this whole instructable. You will need:

-tritium
-deuterium
-hydrogen

One isotope each, you will need to place these in a special vacuum sealed, thin layered glass bead. 

Make sure it is COMPLETELY airtight!! If it is not, your experiment will go POOF!
Also, if your isotopes are not completely alone, I ditto the sentence above /\ /\  and you will be a sad kitty.

Great project. But it really didn't work. I'm kind of bummed, though I do believe subtituting deuterium with weapons grade plutonium would be a bit more effective. Also, you're going to need more than the CO2 tank to get the molecules moving beyond lightspeed. Use a mass accelerator with at least 12,000 neodymium magnets. I've done it, and deuterium resulted in a dwarf star, not a black hole. Good instructable!

Deuterium is more effective for fusion reactions. While some suns are thought to have heavier elements at their center, such a small star could only be created with hydrogen isotopes.
Also, universal laws prevent anything of any substantial mass from going past lightspeed. But the neodymium accelerator is essentially a small particle collider, so that's what would be needed.

If you got a dwarf star, the carbon wasn't going fast enough. More voltage in the collider might help.

Wow....
I am just a bit curious, what do you expect to gain from these comments/statements? I'm wondering what the motivation for this behavior might be..

for those who don't know and the meglomaniacs attempting at home, tritium is ³H and deuterium is ²H
