Anyone else been following the Compact Fusion stuff that Lockheed has been working on?
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 |

Anybody have any recent experience with our passport vendor? Need to know whether they really take the full 10 business days to get a new primary passport to you.

Yeah, I have been following very closely, and posted about it a week or so ago. Question is how does it scale, the largest plane may only be 737/320 in size.
Exciting tech yes. 20 years worldwide deployable? IDK. On airplanes, you'd better not prang one in. |
Looked in the contract and no luck.
Day 3 of 4 tommorrow I have a 4 legs 8:15 block 1130 duty with the longest turn time of 44 minutes... crew meal? Or take delay to get food? It's 2 turns out of JFK so more than likely turn time will be further reduced Thanks |

I don't know if that's the question. The tech uses a magnetic heat containment field to center the concentration of the arc heaters plasma. That's how it's supposed to be able to be made smaller. To equalize the magnetic field for a long time requires perfect magnetic flow. Short term, that is achievable now, but long term? Electricity requires an anode and a cathode. By definition one is an electron donor... IOWs it rots, the other is an electron recipient... IOWs it clogs. Also, has anyone met the perfect machine? To maintain the centralized magnetic field (heat containment) you can't have a broken wire or a shifted magnet.
