Lockheed Martin? It would be a sight to see if an arms manufacturer responsible for death and destruction suddenly propels mankind forward by a huge leap.

saw this today, not sure if it's relevant. Seems like just a more compact version of what we have already have whereas Rossi is saying his energy is coming from a different process altogether, right?

From what I understand about physics, this is fundamentally different from Rossi's claims. Rossi's thing seems to be tied up in some 'efficient' Nickle reactions i.e. LERN whereas the description of this thing seems like they are replicating the reactions done on the sun using a strong magnetic field to contain the reaction i.e. a Hydrogen-Helium type fusion reaction i.e. what we already know.

Some of the properties:

- A self-tuning feedback mechanism whereby the magnetic field increases the farther out that the plasma goes
- Novel magnetic field configuration that has very few open field lines compared to tokamak design
- Very "good arch curvature" of the field lines
- The system has a beta of about 1
- System is working with D-T fuel

Rossi spent 4 years in prison and the Italian government had to cash out with forty million euros to dispose of the 70,000 tonnes of toxic waste that Rossi had improperly dumped around the site of Petroldragon.

That may be, but as a fusion plasma physicist I'd love to know what they found that supposedly would trump decades of research in magnetic confinement fusion. "Compact fusion reactor" sounds too good to be true, especially since confinement improves with machine size. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's intriguing to say the least. Then again, perhaps they're not using deuterium-tritium fusion. Helium 3 fusion, while harder to get going, is easier to contain for example (relatively of course; fusion plasmas are rife with turbulence, making it annoying to keep it in one place).
general.

It's energy, every arms manufacturer wants easy energy so they can produce more powerful weapons.

Has LM really beaten ITER to the punch with magnetic confinement? I doubt it. It's likely not hot fusion but some form of LENR. Many have been researching LENR besides Rossi, though this has already been mentioned already many times in this thread. With LM's resources they have probably found a practical way to get LENR working... although they did give a '10 year' timeframe.

Rossi struck a deal with a U.S. company, Industrial Heat, to carry out a yearlong secret test of a one-megawatt cold fusion device. The installation is a shipping container packed with dozens of E-Cats. The experiment was to be overseen by a third-party "referee" to confirm it really was generating heat. Rossi claims to have spent most of the last year virtually living in the container, overseeing operations for 16 hours a day or more, to prove the E-Cat was commercially viable. The test concluded in March. Rossi supporters eagerly awaited the release of the referee's report, hoping for a vindication of their hero. What they got was a major lawsuit.

In his submission to a Florida court, Rossi claims the test was a success, and that the referee confirmed the E-Cat reactor consistently produced six times as much energy as it took in. He also claims Industrial Heat agreed to pay him $100 million—$11.5 million upfront after a 24-hour test (supposedly for licensing rights so they would be able to sell the technology, but only in the U.S.), with another $89 million due on the successful completion of the 350-day extended test. Rossi charges that IH but won't pay up because it has a "fraudulent scheme" to steal his intellectual property. Rossi also alleges that IH and the related defendants "have misappropriated the E-Cat IP; illegally copied Rossi's innovative technology and products, features, designs; and, have wrongfully attempted to obtain a patent for Rossi and Leonardo's ...

Industrial Heat rejects these claims as being without merit, adding that the company will vigorously fight the legal action. More significantly, it claims to have "worked for over three years to substantiate the results claimed by Mr. Rossi from the E-Cat technology—all without success."
