The fusor cannot be used to produce energy, but it still produces neutrons in a relatively cheap and simple way. These neutrons can be used for various application, such as explosives detection, nuclear material detection and medical isotope production. | The fusor cannot be used to produce energy, but it still produces neutrons in a relatively cheap and simple way.
