MIT Technology Review By David Talbot on October 20, 2014 Lockheed Martin says it will have a small fusion reactor prototype in five years but offers no data. The interior of Lockheed Martin’s fusion reactor shows a series of rings used to create magnetic fields that confine plasma. Lockheed Martin’s announcement last week that it … Read moreDoes Lockheed Martin Really Have a Breakthrough Fusion Machine?

Defense Tech BRENDAN MCGARRY on OCTOBER 16, 2014 Experts were skeptical of Lockheed Martin Corp.‘s claims this week that it plans to build a fusion reactor small enough to fit on the back of a truck over the next decade. The Bethesda, Maryland-based company — the world’s largest defense contractor, known for its stealth fighter … Read moreScientists Skeptical of Lockheed’s Fusion Breakthrough

American Security Project Dec 20, 2011 The fusion projects we often hear about fall into one of two camps: Magnetic Confinement Fusion (MCF) or Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF). Of course, each project has its own spin on fusion. For example, MIT’s Levitated Dipole Experiment (LDX) follows the tokamak model commonly used in MCF, but instead … Read moreFusing Fusion Concepts: Plasma-Jet driven Magneto-Inertial Fusion (PJMIF)
