Fusion Breakthrough?
#9
RE: Fusion Breakthrough?
The Av Week article seems most detailed of what's out now. Lockheed is claiming a factor of 10 improvement over a break even tokamak device.

(the numbers in the article were more optimistic for some reason)

That they seem to have some actual theoretical science (beyond wishful thinking) that implies a significant improvement over an existing device of known characteristics is encouraging, the 'however' is that in my view they are premature by 5 years and 1 day in making their announcement.
