What are the neutron energies?
If the deuterons only interact with the crystal, what is fusing?
Could the neutrons just be scattered out of the crystal by the impinging deuterons?
If this works, it's still hot fusion (just on a small scale.)
How much energy is needed to accelerate the deuterons?
How is the output energy to be captured?

Does this table top fusion explain why you can't get the table apart at Thansgiving to put in the leaf to make the table bigger? /smart-ass

Fusion = Perpetual government funding machine.. More Money put into it than will ever come out of it.. The Rube Goldberg of Money machines.. Lots of great swelling words.. but not much continuity.. Like an Al Gore speach.. or any democrat waxing fluent.. Like Sheets Byrd..

Below the Curie temperature pyroelectric crystals have a permanent electric dipole moment. When the temperature of the crystal is changed a few degrees under just the right conditions, it is possible to accelerate electrons and ions away from and towards the crystal up to 170 keV in a self-focusing beam. When the gas around the crystal is deuterium and the target is deuterium it is possible to fuse two deuterium atoms.
Took awhile to find the actual potential 170 keV.

Hmmm. I wonder what the neutron beam would do to an unsuspecting human?

" is filled with deuterium gas "
I know of a number of guys at work that seem to be so filled with gas that it seeps out... or is directly vented.

I'm sure most of the people on this thread have already figured this out, but I'd like to point out that a cheap source of plentiful neutrons could be a key component of next-generation nuclear power even without fusion. More specifically, a neutron source could enable fisson of Thorium 232. Also, it could enable cheap fission of transuranic actinides, produced as toxic waste in current nuclear plants, to something safer. Thanks to the magic of Google, I don't think I have to describe this in detail; just wanted to point out that Thorium fission and actinide fission are real, and could be very useful.
