A Compact Fusion Reactor?

I didn't even know we'd reached the point of having fusion reactors. Perhaps one of you nerds on here can enlighten me. Read more @ Doug Ross Journal A COMPACT FUSION REACTOR THAT COULD CHANGE THE WORLD FOREVER Lockheed Martin Claims Breakthrough

I've always wanted one that was truly compact,like the size of a suitcase.
Backwoods hunting and camping would be badass with an unlimited power supply.
It would also be great for building a home in the boonies. No power lines to run so you could locate your home anywhere.

Um, why would you or anyone need an "unlimited" power supply for a hunting trip? You a glamper? Need your espresso machine or you'd just die?

'espresso machine' went with glamper more I thought. That's good too though although more of a critique on how even able to do the real thing you're still playing videogames.

You ever camped in Texas in August? A simple fan makes a world of difference.

And you need a nuclear fusion reactor for your's? Wow, that's some fan.

So how many batteries are you going to pack in for a week or two stay? And what are you going to do with all the dead batteries at the end of your stay?
It's the long term power that would be great.

Hell I figure you'd be all for it,that way you could watch your child porn all you wanted.

It could be a breakthrough, or just another Fusion power dead end, like so many others.

 

[ScienceRocks]

We can barely "get more out" then in with a full scale fusion reactor with lasers of mind blowing power. Unless, L.M has developed a serious advancement in both design and the ability to keep it cool(Having to do with design also!)...I certainly wouldn't hold my breath.

If we can't hardly do it with the super BIG MF'ers.....How did they do it and that's something that I'd like to see! Until then, I'll wait and keep my ammo dry.

Because we haven't.
