Re: [math-fun] Lockheed Martin Claims Fusion Breakthrough That Could Change World Forever

I don't know how judge Lockheed-Martin's prospects but this doesn't seem much like cold fusion. It isn't cold and they seem to be claiming an improvement on magnetic-confinement approach. That seems like the way technology moves. Of the little said, one or two things puzzle me. One of the articles says deuterium and tritium are cheap and tritium certainly isn't. Chase's talk talks about using lithium, which is what is done in weapons, and mentions producing tritium from the lithium but it doesn't say how. In bombs that depends on having a lot of neutrons available and I don't see where they would come from in this setup. Whit
