Sounds too good to be true.

I hear the writer in you! It does not surprise that you ran with that angle. Very creative!

News flash: the inventor has just terminated his employment at Lockheed. Sources report that he has vowed to "stop the motor of the world." His whereabouts are currently unknown.

That's the romance side. The logistic/survival side makes it possible. Power generation is a five piece project aboard: Wind, Solar, Engine and Tow generators and storage. For a die-hard.....luxuries.

International waters. Sunny skies...deep sea fishing, salt air! Here we go!

O.A!
Ok.....The propulsion for "engines" requires superexpansion of a "fuel". In the case of fusion power, water. An aircraft could not carry the mass required.
I'll settle for my sailing.....slow and easy....on my 150 foot yacht....with a CFR as a back-up! LOL!

Hello Commander,
Indeed! The possibilities are endless. To be free from the utility companies... the constant whining from the anti fossil fuel crowd alone brings a smile to my face.
I hope they are successful. This could be as big, or bigger than splitting the atom was in the 20th century.

You could be Commander of an airship with unlimited power... a fleet of them!
Regards,
O.A.

"an airplane with a CFR on board could stay in the air for years"....From the article.
I think....well.....there might be some "new" physics involved here.....or a little over-zealousness by the author.
There have been many "JG's" involved in power generation of this type. I think one of the earliest was Aveco Everett with thier MHD project; not fusion, but the predecessor. I hope Lockheed will prevail where Aveco did not.

We have common interest here. Posted previously:
