Most of that is fluff about the website itself, but the quote that got my attentions is
... which sure sounds like nuclear alchemy to my untrained eye....the company can use neutrons to turn uranium that costs $6 a gram into a material used in medical diagnostic imaging that is valued at $150 million a gram. Piefer pointed to the sugar packets on the tables around the conference room as he spoke, and noted that each one contained about 2 grams of crystals. "If one those (packets) were full of molybdenum-99, it would be (worth) $300 million," he said.
I found the Shine Technologies website,
https://www.shinefusion.com/neutron-generators/
and this description of their'neutron generators:
... which sounds to me like firing two guns at each other and expect the bullets to fuse together just because they meet in the middle.Our beam-target electronic neutron generators primarily use a beam of deuterium ions to drive neutron emission...By stripping away the single electron of a deuterium atom, you end up with a positively-charged ion consisting solely of a neutron and a proton. The positively-charged ions are consolidated into a high current beam and fired at a target at up to 300kV...The target of the ion beam inside a neutron generator can be a solid or a gas, and it can contain either more deuterium or another hydrogen isotope called tritium
Is anybody here familiar with this technology? Is it a more viable way of producing a neutron flux than the fusor?
