Always the optimist, weren't you, my friend?

@Petter Lol. You mean that I have now changed as you use the past tense?

That's what the article is about. An international effort to create a commercial prototype fusion reactor.

@Petter Yes I know, they are attempting to overcome this problem. I read the entire article .Very Interesting .

@richiegtt It reminds me of the story of Æegidius Elling, a seriously "unsung" engineer who created the first gas turbine engine to produce more power than it used (11bhp) - in 1903.
Unfortunately, when he tried to increase power output the turbines would melt. It took metallurgy over 30 years to come up with sufficiently heat resistant alloys to produce the sort of power needed by a jet engine to power an aircraft.

@Petter This brings to mind the Chrysler gas turbine car that was a beautiful piece of Engineering .I remember it at the 1964 worlds fair and was intrigued by it .This engine consumed to much fuel to be a production vehicle and never made it to the consumer market .Its a magnificent vehicle .About 9 still exist .

@richiegtt That set me searching gas turbine powered cars. This article to which I have linked, was very informative and interesting. The final paragraph of the article really set me thinking.
