Taylor Wilson: Yup, I built a nuclear fusion reactor (Ele construiu um reator nuclear aos 17 anos !!!)

Este jovem de apenas 17 anos construiu um reator nuclear, na garagem de sua casa (porque será que estes meninos prodígios têm fixação por inventar coisas nas suas garagens ? he he), um projeto que começou, quando ele tinha 12 anos.. Fabuloso .. Reparem, também, como o menino é super articulado e modesto. Uma graça. Confiram :

http://www.ted.com Taylor Wilson believes nuclear fusion is a solution to our future energy needs, and that kids can change the world. And he knows something about both of those: When he was 14, he built a working fusion reactor in his parents' garage. Now 17, he takes the TED stage to tell (the short version of) his story.
