The device, which uses two opposing crystals to generate a powerful electric field Dilithium, perhaps?

We need some of the techie freepers on here opining on the significance of this. My MBA doesn't qualify me.

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?

Cold fusion is impossible according to the laws of physics as we know them. This isn't cold fusion at all. In fact its still a net loss of energy. Fusion reactions will be used for power, but we need a couple decades to work the engineering out.

I had the same kind of thought. Just because you're getting neutrons doesn't necessarily indicate fusion. I browsed the post, but weren't they talking about energies in the .2 MeV range? Also, what kind of flux are we looking at? Is it enough to activate stuff or not? Inquiring minds want to know.

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

LOL! Posts like this are why I don't hold a cup anymore when browsing the threads.

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..
