Thanks for the reference to neutron generators. Wikipedia agrees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_generator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_generator Just maybe people wanting a neutron source stay with thin foils to let the neutrons out because that's what they want. I wouldn't be surprised if this method of initiating fusion we completely overlooked for 90 years, but turns out to be viable after all. There are still many questions to be answered since the probability of a fusion event still seems to be too low. I just wish people would do more searching for answers and less outright rejection.
