Lockheed claims to have solved all of that, theoretically, with a new design. Instead of using a little bit of plasma in a tube inside a larger reaction chamber, they’re going to fill the entire chamber with plasma and use coils of superconducting magnets to create the needed containment pressure. Lots more plasma means lots more energy potential, roughly 10 times as much as a traditional reactor, which means theoretically not only will the reactor produce way more power than it needs to operate it but it can operate on a much smaller scale than traditional reactors, around the size of a jet engine compared to the size of a building.

I wish they'd put Ebola inside the chamber.

Americans consume petroleum products at a rate of three-and-a-half gallons of oil and more than
250 cubic feet of natural gas per day each! But, as shown here petroleum is not just used for fuel.

Read that several experts believe Lockheed is fishing here. Releasing this announcement to help drum financial support for more research.
