Didn't Uncle Rico use some of his sweet moolah to buy one of these things off of the internet? He's still walking funny...

The central component of the device is a crystal of lithium tantalate,

They are sooo close! I could tell them to use the di-lithium crystals, but would they listen? Noooooooooo

I always wanted to irradiate my kitchen with neutrons and alpha particles. Microwaves are SO 1975!

I thought that neutron activation was usually a BAD thing in a home. Nevertheless, I had more than one amateur science project that could have cost me fingers as a kid, so I kinda want one.

Controlled Fusion isn't the problem or the goal.
We need controlled fusion that is a net producer of energy rather than a consumer of it.

Great. I expect a nuclear fusion power plant no bigger than a PC, with enough power to light the city of Topeka, for my own personal use, on my desktop, by the end of next year. I ordered this on another thread, and see? The major work is already done. Keep up the good work. Out.

Well, OF COURSE you can pull this off if you use a crystal of lithium tantalate. Hasn't the challenge always been to do with WITHOUT lithimum tantalate??? Now THAT would be impressive!

Some may laugh, but this looks very much like "Beam Power Tubes" of old, complete with a grid and beam forming screen with heat as a catalyst instead of high voltage. Enlighten me FReepers.

Not the first claim.  Pons and Fleischmann claimed cold fusion back in the 80s (see Cold Fusion) and others were working on it in the 20s.  Maybe this time ...
