Submission + - Any advise on a DIY nutron beam? 1
Max Littlemore writes: I have been breeding thorium at home using lots of old smoke detectors with a view to generating my own electricity and getting off the grid. The only thing stopping me is a reliable nutron beam. Given that all the equipment I'm using is re-purposed kitchen equipment, concerns about safety mean I'm hesitant to build a uranium reactor to supply nutrons to the thorium one. So I'm putting the question out there, do any slashdotters know of a good way to make a powerful nutron beam out of things I might find around the house?
