Told to repost this in a different category.
Hello, I have seen those experimental pressurized D-T Fusion Chambers online people are playing around with, the question I have is even though the "fusion" that is being experimented with outputs less energy than that is required to operate it, would it not still produce neutrons and gamma rays v.i.a the deuterium fusion process? Furthermore, seeing videos of these online, IEC Fusion Devices I don't see that users have any shielding, like water placed around the perimeter to moderate neutrons or shield from gamma rays, etc.. or are they "built in" to the chamber walls or something? Or.. since it does not generate more energy than required to run it, does it fail to produce neutrons or gamma rays?
