OT: Lockheed-Martin = saviour of the planet?

Let's come back to this thread after 10 years. :)

If Google Gropes is still going, then I'm sure we will be.

Without any quoted context.

If something is too good to be true ...

Hmm, one thing I have learnt in my years upon this planet, is that most journalists are completely crap at being journalists.

They generally read something someone else has published, then misquote it, and in addition, make random conclusions/make stuff up whilst being in total ignorance of the subject, so as to fulfil their job description, and thus get paid for their efforts/column inches.

If you want to get closer to the truth, do not read this crap, you need to source the original material, and make your own random conclusions yourself.

Gosh, I am cross tonight. Must be the wine.

I see a problem... 100 MW? From a device that fits on the back of a large truck?

What form does the output power take? Where does the waste heat go?

Erm, I would talk to Lockheed Martin about that problem you have just seen.

It's probably a bit classified though, and not what you think.

Gareth.

What waste heat. The device obviously generates the electrons directly as part of the fusion process,feeding directly into the grid, none of that messy Victorian steam and rotary generator stuff.

I doubt Usenet will keep messages forever.

Isn't nuclear fusion dangerous? How do you stop it?

As far as I know, all those nuclear fusion experimental devices are using big magnets to contain the fusion core.

I don't think those big magnets could be carried on a truck, unless the fusion reactor is very very small, which meant it generate little power?

NO. We have seen it. It's called the Arc Reactor in Iron Man movies. :)

Would there be an emergence stop button that works? :)

Bring back Deja News, so much simpler then , non of the extraneous irritating monetisation crap and wasted bandwidth.

There could be no emergency stop, if it stopped that's when it would all blow up.

I find that HARDDDDDDDDD to Believe..

Jamie

Of course there's an Emergency Stop button. It's right below the Open Door and Close Door buttons.

The problem is that for every million watts the fusion generates, it takes 1.6 million watts to retrieve the hydrogen fuel from its compounds.

Also, Lockheed Martin was a misprint. It's Lockheed Morton, a guy I went to prep school with.

I have yet to see a blueprint that generates electricity from nuclear fusion. I would expect a fusion-powered steamer. :)

In vino veritas.

Blueprints don't produce electricity.

Perhaps just an overactive PR dept, making sure the name L-M is in the media, near enough same story from 18 months ago
