Lockheed Martin Claims Sustainable Fusion Is Within Its Grasp

Lockheed Martin Claims Sustainable Fusion Is Within Its Grasp - via Twaddle - Newsvine

Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works claims the ability to generate cheap energy from nuclear fusion with little waste or global warming is within its grasp.

Imagine a source of electrical power that uses water for fuel, produces byproducts that are totally safe and releases no air pollution.

Then imagine that once it's up and running, it'll be so portable that an entire power plant could fit into the cargo hold of an airplane. Now, imagine that it'll be running in prototype form in five years and operating commercially in ten.​

I have been waiting for this for 50 years but, well, I'll believe it when I see it.

And yes: I DO know how good those guys are.

Exactly. Heard this many times in the last 50 years. That would be wonderful if it pans out, but hardly going to hold my breath.

If this is true than many things will change rapidly as it will be cheaper than Natural Gas to operate. A free Market Solution not a socialist shove it down our throats thing because I said so...

Once it becomes technically and economically feasible, I guarantee you the libturds will all start protesting against it. Unlimited energy for the masses is the last thing they want. They don't want people to be able to consume more. They want people to consume less. That's one of the main driving factors behind the whole globull warming hocus-pocus.

 

[Old Rocks]

Should they be correct, I gaurantee that idiots like you will claim scientists had nothing to do with it.

I'm surprised you nutters support this. It's a bunch of lying scientists saying it right? This is just more of the war on oil!

L-M hasn't even built a prototype. As it stands, their fusion reactor is currently composed entirely of wishful thinking.

They're working on one, dope:

"Currently Lockheed Martin is in the process of testing a magnetic confinement bottle, where the Skunk Works team has apparently made significant progress. In terms of how a fusion reactor would be created, the magnetic bottle is the primary hurdle."​

 

[Mr. H.]

Good news. But this would hardly mitigate the continued need for hydrocarbons.

 

[skookerasbil]

This is perhaps the most pronounced proof that the AGW crowds are frauds.

They completely discount/ignore technology in terms of future energy development.

Why?

Because forcing everybody to embrace renewables = warp speed to the socialist utopia. Cant happen without massive carbon tax plan which these idiots are just fine with. I mean........you talk about epic levels of stoopid??!!!!These people stick with the established narrative hook, line and stinker.............for almost 30 years with not one single smidge of tolerance for anybody else's point of view. Hey.....I read Plato and More too in college. Was very impressed at the time...........then woke up to the utter nonsense of it in terms of the economics of it ( all those fuckers NEVER wrote a word about the economics of their utopias.......something the STOOPIDS never considered )


Offuckingcourse there will be unthinkable technological breakthroughs in years to come.........in fact, government probably already has the blueprint.( see: public statement from Kissinger in 1974 about the coming internet revolution)

It would vastly reduce the need for hydrocarbons. We wouldn't have to burn coal or natural gas to produce electricity, and we wouldn't have to burn gasoline in cars.

They were thinking of how cold it was outside this past winter and how it could be incorporated into cold fusion....

 

[elektra]

This is great news, for China, the Republicans and Democrats will transfer this technology to China faster than we can blink an eye, and even if they did not, we do not have an industry that could implement the technology. We can not even manufacture the basics for this technology, steel.

 

[Politico]

Exactly. Heard this many times in the last 50 years. That would be wonderful if it pans out, but hardly going to hold my breath.

And your kids kids will be hearing about it 50 years from now. You can't recreate the sun.

 

[elektra]

No need for fusion when we have fission.

 

[Indofred]

If this happens, the whole of the middle east will die a death in a matter of a few years.
Electric cars would become the norm, thus negating the need for oil.
Electric trains without the need for power lines could run across long distances without restrictions.
Ships could have a fusion reactor on board, changing the industry as much as the shift from sail to powered vessels.
That's before we even consider flight and space exploration. A fusion reactor could supply enough power to run ducted fan engines, eventually replacing the turbofan in civilian aircraft.
Yes,that sort of tech won't happen overnight, but the availability of unlimited electrical power in a smallish box will allow development.

Politics and foreign policies will change a lot.

 

[Old Rocks]

Exactly. A very disruptive economic development. Be some very interesting political fallout.

what principle of science says that?
