I'm working on a fusion reactor too, but progress is slow. Thieves stole my turbomolecular vacuum pumps. I'm sitting here with a gun waiting for more thieves. It's only a matter of time til they try it again.

If I can make it work in the space I have, things will be ok. If I can't, then I don't know what will happen.
Interesting devices. They seem to be quite expensive, many thousands of dollars [1]. Did you consider buying insurance for your turbomolecular pump?
If you have other high value devices, maybe you can look to insure them. You never know. Better to collect insurance than to start shooting people.
