Wallace's detector measures 36 neutrons per minute just in background radiation from space, and the device's usual output adds only four neutrons per minute. People in airplanes absorb much more than that.

But if you did get it working it would be nasty - neutrons are not nice things ..

Hmm wonder if he uses a torus ..
