So Maloche, are we taking the bandwagon now?
The e-cat, it's been 3 years that we talk about it (me the first on econology) on 2 sons

Really guys, I'm running out of time

Lockheed Martin patents part of its mini-fusion reactor (and gets closer to the nuclear Grail)
SYLVAIN ARNULF New Factory 27/03/2018
VIDEO Lockheed Martin has patented the design of part of its mini nuclear fusion reactor. Proof that the project of the American giant, which arouses both fascination and skepticism, is moving forward.
.....
https://www.usinenouvelle.com/editorial ... re.N672249
......
Of course, it remains to be seen if Lockheed Martin's fusion reactor will actually become a reality. Many other companies and institutions have tried for nearly a century to create workable fusion power without success.
On the one hand, a corporation receiving a patent does not necessarily mean they are actively pursuing the technology that the document describes, either. In addition, since the media blitz in 2014, Skunk Works has said very little about this project outside of the plasma physics community. The US government also reserves the right to classify patents it feels might be a threat to national security if they were public, so the fact that this one is not might also calls into question how mature the system might be in actuality.

Re: Compact nuclear fusion in 10 years? Lockheed Martin
An easy search points to the patent in question.

I'll watch that a bit later ......

Abstract
In one embodiment, a fusion reactor includes an enclosure, an open-field magnetic system comprising one or more internal magnetic coils suspended within the enclosure, and one or more encapsulating magnetic coils coaxial with the one or more internal magnetic coils of the open-field magnetic system. The one or more encapsulating magnetic coils form a magnetosphere around the open-field magnetic system. The open-field magnetic system and the one or more encapsulating magnetic coils, when supplied with electrical currents, form magnetic fields for confining plasma within the enclosure,

Re: Compact nuclear fusion in 10 years? Lockheed Martin
For me it's clear that it's bogus.
The essence of the patent relates to the creation of fields to confine the plasma.
Not sure there is anything really exploitable in the description.
The end of the patent is a shame, it is filling and reusing what already exists everywhere in electronics and computers. (all that relates to the last figure = figure 9). It makes me doubt the above in the patent.
I'm sure they won't have a fusion reactor in 2024.
