The above Image is from the top of this page. It is a working fusor grid working in star mode. In other words the image is from an IEC device not a tokamak device.

Maybe it is a subtle sign the tokamak folks are losing hope.

You would get the hydrogen and boron emission lines.

Hydrogen is in this lot:
