in 10 years Lockheed produces a 100 MW Fusion Power Plant that fits on the back of a truck * 1
    #22240594 - 09/15/15 10:10 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

A breakthrough in alternative energy. This sounds very promising for the future.

100 megawatts is a lot of power, about a tenth of a commercial power plant.

but it weights 300-1000 tons???????  how does that fit on a pickup truck?

Wow. I hope they succeed. This would be a huge boon for everyone everywhere.

it'll prolly be so godly expensive that it'll take forever to take off, not to mention the government will most likely step in and regulate it to hell and back for "safety concerns"

Obviously the mantle does not so its not very mobile as a whole, but it could pave the way to proliferation of lots of compact fusion plants in a short time span.

We have to replace fossil fuel burning as soon as possible. We are wasting our best chemical resource for energy production.

downside is fusion would be good for space travel and this will end up using it all up for $$$$  or is there potential to use other easier to find metals?

Fusion reactors, generally speaking, do not use critical resources. If we got a good cost effective design in open source, the whole world could start building em all at once.

sounded like they were using lithium tho or something made from lithium to do it?

They use Lithium and Deuterium as fuel. The lithium gets converted into Tritium and Helium-3 and the reactor primarily runs on Tritium Deuteride, the easiest of all fusion reactions to complete, though they will likely enrich it with the Helium-3 to get more energy out of it.

When reactors get better they can run it principally on pure deuterium and its decomposition products, or even on Boron + Hydrogen, which would be super awesome as that is aneutronic fusion, so zero radioactivity when the reactor is turned off and only xrays and gamma when its turned on.

That could be anywhere in/around DC tbh. :shrug:

Lockheed does build missiles and shit that goes boom though (to put it simply)

And it doesn't look as bad as that picture seems. It's in Bethesda after all...

I've been waiting for this. It's about time. Still, ..skeptical. Fusion has always been elusive.

When and if this technology comes to fruition...it will first be used by the military...kinda like  how it was once thought impossible to build a nuclear reactor small enough to fit into a submarine....well,they solved that...now they can do it even smaller and more efficiently and much safer.

It will be a long long time until the private industry gets ahold of this (lockheed is probably being funded by the military at least partially and they will put clamps on any privatization contracturally) It'll be a long time before anyone is driving an automobile powered by anything like that.
