    They spent $12M of Navy money, and they still don’t have a working device or any substantial data, and the Navy has pulled out. Smells like failure. At least they didn’t waste money and careers on the scale of ITER.

    bob,

    They have some critical data and Nick Krall is VERY excited. That is a big deal.

    There are things going on behind the scenes I can’t speak publicly about. Let me just say I’m stoked.
