1. A method of producing neutrons in a chamber containing an ion source region, an accelerator region and a gas target region, comprising the steps of:

  • a. generating deuterium ions in the ion source region, b. accelerating deuterium ions to high-energy by the application of an electric field in the accelerator region, c. allowing deuterium ions to collide with deuterium gas targets in the gas target region, producing neutron-generating fusion reactions.
