This is Joe Zambelli's site which has already been linked here. Joe is well known to us old timers and his system is superb. I visited him Last Thanksgiving (see my website), but have known Joe for 3 or 4 years prior to his fusor work.
He remains the only other amateur to do fusion in a Farnsworth device other than Myself and Tom Ligon and Scott Little. He is a member of the "Neutron Club" in our Fusioneer listing on this site.

Prof. Hotta san has clearly succeeded.

Dunno what this guy is talking about "convergence beam fusion"? It sure looks like a "fusor" to me...

Does Miley know about this?

I am with the perfesser on this one. It is indeed just a fusor of the simplest form.

But touting it as a neutron source as in "commercial source", Miley's group will certainly feel this as an intrusion. I wonder how long this site has been up and if the images are recent or older?

also look at , "Neutron Production Characteristics and Emission Properties of Spherically Convergent Beam Fusion", Fusion Technology, Vol.39, No.3, pp.1182-1187 (2001)" a PDF -- in the 'Papers' he seems to have use a ' Spherical Mesh' for the anode.

Richard he does know about Miley -- he has included reference to Miley in this paper

some day I will read ALL the text before commenting

Take a look at the U. of Kyoto site at www.energy.kyoto-u.ac.jp/english/henkan/cc2.html
These guys wre getting 5 X 10^6 neutrons in 1998...

Looks like Miley has a finger in many pies... What's interesting is that the folks at U. Wisconsin, TIT (unfortunate acronym),and at U. Kyoto think that in the glow regime, the dominant mechanism of neutron production is ion collision with background neutrals, not ion-ion collision.

they.. "think that in the glow regime, the dominant mechanism of neutron production is ion collision with background neutrals, not ion-ion collision........"

They might be correct too!! I would imagine that a lot more collisions take place between neutrals and hot ions that ion-ion collisions. One might be statistically justified in stating that the bulk of the fusion is coming from such activities, though ion-ion is part of the mix.
