Lockheed Predict Working Nuclear Fusion Reactor within 10 Years

Lockheed Predict Working Nuclear Fusion Reactor within 10 Years: http://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Lockheed-Predict-Working-Nuclear-Fusion-Reactor-within-10-Years.html "Many designs for fusion reactors involve massive investment and construction of huge scientific apparatus which can take years to be completed before they can start to generate power. The resources and infrastructure needed to research and build fusion reactors can only usually be provided by governments, not exactly an expense that they want to shoulder during such tight economic times.
Lockheed’s proposal is enticing due to the fact that it is far smaller than other fusion reactor designs. The plan uses a compact cylinder, rather than the traditional bulky ring, which provides a far stronger magnetic containment field and leaves fewer points where energy can escape.
Lockheed plans to start testing a prototype model in 2017, and scale it up to a full production model by 2022."
