Not seeing how this is much better than the Farnsworth "fusors". Essentially it's a neutron generator, not anywhere near breakeven much less copious power surplus.

It is little realized, but fusion reactors are a great source of high energy neutrons and could be commercially useful for that long before they are useful as an energy source.

Cancer research, and disease research in general, is IMO one of the most promising things we could do with massive amounts of compute and energy.
