1. You need to contain the material. If it blows apart, it isn't contained.
1a. Fusing H to make He, means you are working with gases at STP.
1b. How do you handle the waste (He)?
1c. How do you capture and use the energy that is released? (Ye olde steam engine?)
1d. How do you feed the reaction? (Is it merely one explosion?)
2. How do you get a permit to allow you to experiment (local, state, federal)?
May I suggest experimenting not in Manhattan but in Arizona?

Why is nuclear fusion clean?
... there is no air pollution if it is controlled.
I am what is being investigated to contain fusion reaction?
You are most likely referring to a magnetic confinement fusion device, such as a tokamak or a stellarator. These devices use powerful magnetic fields to confine and control high-temperature plasma, enabling the conditions necessary for a controlled fusion reaction to occur. Scientists and researchers study and investigate these devices in order to develop a viable and sustainable method of achieving nuclear fusion as a clean and abundant source of energy.
What is a major disadvantage of using nuclear fusion reactors?
Today these installations are not surely controlled.
Why is nuclear fusion not a controlled reaction?
I found the website K1 Project very helpful. They had several articles underneath their Learn/Energy tab which should answer any questions about nuclear fusion.
Where nuclear fusion reactors are found?
Even though the idea of using controlled nuclear fusion for human benefits has been studied since the 1950s, there is still no success in controlling it. Fusion reactors, then, would have to be defined as H-bombs and stars at this point. EDIT: NONSENSE! I suggest you google Tomak. This is controlled fusion and currently best international practice will get you 10x the energy you put into it. It isn't used because it is more expensive that oil, coal and fission power.
What are some difficulties in the development of a fusion reactor?
Achieving the required temperature for nuclear fusion to occurconfining the plasma away from the wall surfaces
What process occurs in a controlled fusion reaction?
In a controlled fusion reaction, a process of nuclear fusion occurs, but it is controlled, so that it does not grow uncontrollably, to become, for example, a thermonuclear bomb. Note: This has not been accomplished yet.
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
Why is nuclear fusion clean?
... there is no air pollution if it is controlled.
Why us fusion not used to generate electrical power?
Today nuclear fusion is not controlled at industry scale.
What percentage is nuclear fusion used in the US?
0% No country gets any of its energy from fusion as nobody has figured out how to build a controlled fusion reactor.

Does nuclear power plants uses nuclear fusion?
No, they rely on fission. Controlled fusion is the holy grail of nuclear power.
Is the Ford Fusion hybrid standard or automatic?
The ( 2012 ) Ford Fusion hybrid has an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission ( automatic )
What has the author Friedrich Herrnegger written?
Friedrich Herrnegger has written: 'Summary and concluding remarks on the IV European Conference on Controlled Fusion and Plasma Physics' -- subject(s): Congresses, Controlled fusion, Plasma confinement
Is nuclear fusion experimental?
Fusion power is definitely still in the experimental stage; so far it takes more energy to get the fuel to fuse in a controlled way than is liberated by the fusion.
What problems must be overcome before fusion can be used to produce energy?
achieving high temperatures and containing the plasma reactants
