Hi Richard, would it be possible to throttle down a fusor below X-ray emission levels, then using a glass porthole take a spectroscope reading and see if any helium lines show up on the spectroscope?. Also does tritium have any different spectra to that of hydrogen?, You wouldn't get any exact amounts but you would get conclusive proof of whether it fusion or stripping of the neutrons.
