The difference is the energetic electron beam. They are now getting dangerously close to my invention, or at least the version of it that I dropped 10 years ago. :) I doubt they will have much luck increasing the efficiency. Too many different ways for a fast neutron to avoid colliding with and accelerating a deuteron. Also too many ways for the x-rays to avoid splitting a deuteron. Also too few bremsstrahlung x-rays with enough energy to split a deuteron (2.2 MeV). All loss paths lead to inefficiency.
