What were you doing when you were 13? We're willing to bet anything you like it wasn't as impressive as what 13-year-old Jamie Edwards has been up to.
A student at Penwortham Priory Academy in Lancashire, Jamie, with the help of his school has undertaken a project much more complex than you tend to get up to at any point in school. But his school even helped fund the experiment.
Fascinated for years by radiation, one year even going so far as to buy himself a Geiger counter (just like any normal kid would), he built himself a small nuclear fusion reactor. This dream was sparked after he read about Taylor Wilson, who built a small fusion reactor at the age of 14 in 2008, making him the youngest nuclear fusion-er around. Until Jamie came along anyway.

We've even got a simple (kind of) graphic showing Jamie's process for you:
