Nuclear Fusion That Travels by Truck
Lockheed-Martin's Compact Fusion Reactors Source: Lockheed-Martin Nuclear Reactor that Travel by Truck Lockheed-Martin has been quietly developing a game-changing compact nuclear fusion reactor. They've patented the tech for potentially fitting it into a fighter jet. Experts believe the potential for nuclear fusion tech is huge. It could make other forms of electricity generation obsolete. Lockheed's reactor is so compact it can be transported by truck to locations in need of electricity. What's Nuclear Fusion and Why Call it a Star In A Jar? Here's an example and explainer. UK based Tekamak Energy has heated a plasma of hydrogen to 27 million degrees fahrenheit within its own reactor. That's hotter than the core of the sun. Essentially the reactors convert hydrogen into helium, then to electrical energy. It's the same nuclear reaction that makes the sun and stars shine for billions of years. The process creates high volumes of el...
