Hahn was working with fission not fusion , he was not a 'fusioneer' but splitting the atom.

Hahn produced amazing amateur nuclear work nonetheless, ( somewhat out of control when his reactor went critical ).

I wonder if you could use a Farnswoth Fusor as a neutron source to do some fissioning?

yes you can, and it means you can have a reactor which (when the power to the fusor fails), it turns off(ish).

Wow totally forgot about this. Wiki linked to an article about what he's been up to recently: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2506549/Uh-oh-Radioa...

He's been through a lot but still has a hunger for learning.

I read his story a while back and was shocked that I used live nearby and may have (as a paperboy) delivered newspapers to his house. I left the area a few years before his experiments, though.
