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!

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.

I think thorium is the better way to go, breeder reactors are more practical.

On days like that I go get food and bring it back to eat on the Flightdeck.

Thinking about buying a fly confirm for less ticket for the wife to go on mission trip. Those tickets are just like buying a non refundable ticket?

The tickets conform to the type you purchase. You can buy them as refundable or non refundable. It's exactly like buying a ticket on delta.com however you get 20% off. It's your choice what type of ticket you choose to buy.
