Some of the oil analysts are starting to work that stuff into their 5 year oil forecasts. One of them today said the crude oil industry will be gone in 20 years just like the whaling oil industry disappeared when they discovered crude oil.
Lockheed says they can power a C-5 for a year with a couple bottles of fuel!
Compact Fusion · Lockheed Martin
Interesting concept. Not a lot of details, but a company like Lockheed Martin doesn't often make a webpage like that on theory and conjecture. Looks different than the other quacks that have been claiming "Fusion is around the corner"
I could see a neighborhood fusion generator or something like that, no high tension power lines needed.
Not enough detail to see how it would work on a plane, but getting a C-5 flying take more than gas. Need a few jackstands too!
