Also:

“In the fusor, good geometrical alignment of the inner grid structure is important.”

Star mode is most prevalent at low pressures from 30 to 10 microns and I think it has to do with the mean free path ie once the MFP exceeds the dimensions of your fusor the ions essentially travel in straight lines forming the star pattern where grid collisions knock out the ions in the gaps in the star pattern leaving beams of relatively stable orbits.

You may not be driving hard enough.
Richards fusor may be a good example of Volts vs neutrons and you may be able to guestimate the number of neutrons you may be producing.

Hope this helps.
