Just have to plug the alma mater

It's very interesting research, and I think it has alot of promise as a low cost source or tritium, which is very badly needly to offset the tritium shortage we are now facing in the defense and research community, but I have a hard time seeing how such a device could be used to generate power.

LOL, and I lament the conversion efficencies of steam turbines from nuclear reactors!

If we could get He3/D2 fusison working then we can use magneto hydrodynamic coupling which has amazingly high, technically daunting conversion efficencies.
