I proposed nickel-63 for my electron source. Let's say, aluminum-26?

And, yes. The idea is patently absurd. But I'm waiting on a ridiculously long compile.

If you're getting them from radioactive decay, it works, but those examples are 63 and 26 times heavier than just using hydrogen as your reaction mass in the first place :)
