Lockheed Martin Claims Fusion Breakthrough That Could Change World Forever

[speedkilz88]

Lockheed Martin, the aerospace and defense conglomerate based in Bethesda, Md., is claiming to have made a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion, which could lead to development of reactors small enough to fit on the back of a truck within a decade.

In the simplest terms, nuclear fission breaks a single atom into two whereas nuclear fusion combines two atoms into one.

Fusion, the holy grail of nuclear power, creates three to four times as much energy as fission. More importantly, fusion’s key advantage over fission is that it does not produce cancer-causing radioactive waste.

Nuclear Fusion is the Holy Grail. If they can really do it in a way that is commercially useful, it would be one of the one important technical advances in history.

as far as I have heard they have still not been able to get a stable electromagnetic bottle and until they do this is all Sci Fi.

I read this yesterday, and they hope, hope to have it operating in 10 years. I'm pretty skeptical about it because this would start to phase out the energy industries.

The key breakthrough involves using a “magnetic bottle” to contain the vast amount of heat, which rises into the hundreds of millions of degrees, created by the nuclear reaction. Containing and controlling the staggering levels of heat and pressure involved has hampered countless previous efforts to use fusion for generating electricity. The challenges associated with controlling the heat and pressure created by nuclear fusion has been especially difficult at smaller scales, which makes Lockheed’s claimed breakthrough all the more impressive.

“By containing this reaction, we can release [the heat] in a controlled fashion to create energy we can use,” Lockheed said in a statement. “The heat energy created using this compact fusion reactor will drive turbine generators by replacing the combustion chambers with simple heat exchangers. In turn, the turbines will then generate electricity or the propulsive power for a number of applications.”

Alas, we have finally begun to reverse engineer those Roswell saucers. Baby steps on introducing that technology to the public. Baby steps.

and until they can do that it means nothing

Well, it's not so much the reverse engineering, really, it's actually more up to the aliens themselves as to when they will allow their puppet master shadow government leaders to secretly give the approval to the industry to "go" with the baby steps.

I expect the scientists at Lockheed Martin to be mysteriously killed in car accidents, hunting accidents and poisoned in the next five years.

I assume the lizard men will be discussing this at the very next Bilderberg

I don't know Phoenix. I've seen the CIO of Lockheed Martin and he seems like a straight up, go his own way kinda guy. I don't think he would be involved in any kind of shadow conspiracy. Here is a pic of him, after having attended a meeting in Sunnyvale a few years ago. It's a stock photo image so....

That's the way Apple does it and look where it got them.

Anti Gravity was the holy grail once too. But the secret space progam isn't dilvulding their breakthroughs.

You are so naive. Those guys are dead already and have been replaced with replicants.

The key word there is "breakthrough". They are claiming they can do it.

many things work small scale but once you start scaling up things do not work as well in lets say 1/100th scale. To give you an idea of the temps they are talking about look at that big bright thing in the sky on warm summer day.

I'd rather have them invent a pizza that has no calories.

so we'll be able to blow the world up more safely?

It doesn't just have to be used for weapons. It's main use won't be in weapon form. It will be in energy production. If they can get this working they can power the whole world

Yep, it's the sort of breakthrough that would change everything....
