He is associated with the community of independent investigators of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society, and his interests span particle physics, cosmology, and the electric universe model.
Biography
Thomason resides in Ooltewah, Tennessee, in the United States. He works as an independent, hands-on experimenter and is affiliated with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Work
Thomason's activity centers on what he describes as "real" or experimental physics, emphasizing laboratory apparatus and direct measurement over purely theoretical models. His technical interests include the construction and operation of high vacuum systems and fusors — inertial electrostatic confinement devices used by amateur and professional experimenters to study plasma and nuclear reactions. In cosmology, he takes an interest in the electric universe framework, which attributes a central role to electric currents and plasma in astrophysical phenomena, and in questions of particle physics.
