I had an opportunity last year to visit Los Alamos labs (about ion beam deposition stuff) and met with people who have previously worked in fusion. They tell me that the Farnsworth fusor can do fusion, but not anywhere near enough to achieve breakeven. They say its a very good way to generate neutrons, however. Does anyone on this board think that breakeven can be achieved with the fusor or a derivative of the fusor? Please let me know on this.
