This is a for Richard Hull mainly.

Have you gained enough experience with fusor III to form an idea of how the fusion reaction rate (as given by the neutron count) scales with current?.

I remember reading a paper by Miley a few years ago that predicted that the reaction rate should vary non-linearly with current. Starting off linear and then switching to I^2 and then to I^3, I^4 etc as the current was increased.

I would be interested to how your results compared with this.
