Hi /sci/, how real do you think this is?

Stop adding color to shit that didn't have color, god damn it.

>> No.6033583

but for reals, I trust skunkworks as they came up with awesome stuff in the past...like the b2 was developed in the 1970's, and they had to wait for flybywire to catch up as it was too unstable for a pilot (I'm paraphrasing from half remembered aerospace classes, I apologize for any discrepancies), so from a science perspective how out of the realms of possibility is this? Having a 100MW reactor thats 4mx2m seems a bit...impossible, but I know nothing of this area of science

not very. I don't think they can get fusion with a non-collapsible field, because you need somewhere in the neighborhood of a hundred teslas to get ignition..

also, you can't get a perfect containment field like they claim without magnetic monopoles.. ..which don't exist

Read the adress of that webpage.
It's not happening. This is charlatans we're talking about, they're doing their usual cycle of "public demo soon, commercial product soon, great company cooperation soon, huge product soon" and rinse repeat.

I halfheartedly follwed that waste of time for a year and a half wanting to belive, not anymore.

They can't make a decent jet (if they'll ever be one) without costs bloated multiple times over estimated costs along with additional 10-20+ years of fixing fatal design flaws. I'd rather be hopeful, but seeing the current state of their products, i can't help it.

How do physicists feel seeing they they haven't made a world changing breakthrough for like 70 years?

Shit all you see now are experimental ones trying to confirm theories thought up decades ago.
