Onto said target plate being at high voltage, e.g. 0.1 to 10 MV, the microcapsule, preferably at small angle (grazing angle smaller than 20°) are injected into the apparatus. Said target is cooled internally with water to produce steam by the heat set free in the nuclear fusion .

Hmm. Neutrons may be being produced from the fusion, but how can he be sure the heat is being produced from the fusion? A certain amount of heat will be produced from the spallation of the target, just from absorbing the momentum of the impact.

Good point, but did you really read all of that?
