How do I calculate energy in watts from neutrons generated per second in the Farnswiorth Fusor? |
Those guys claim an input of 30 kV at 10 mA that makes 300 W
They also claim 100000 neutrons / second.
From that one should be able to infer the number of fused atoms no?
Now we can calculate (since we know the reaction / gas used) how
much energy is released?
But I am no nuclear expert by no means.
What formulas are used and how do you go about this?
Just want to know how much excess heat is generated over that
caused by the 300 W input.
Help (and a real example!) would be appreciated!

P = I*V (Power in watts = Current in amps X Voltage in volts).
One way to see this:
Power = Work/Time =
(Charge X Voltage)/Time = (Charge/Time) X Voltage = Current X Voltage = IV.
