They actually could have a nuclear powered vacuum cleaner, it just isn't a good idea.

Well the US is taking the wrong approach. I mean tiny pellets compressed by lasers. Please.

You are just jealous of our superior Dregin inspired technology.

It doesn’t beat the direction in which most European research is going though.
Since this performance was far superior to any obtained in their existing devices, most fusion research programs quickly switched to using tokamaks. The tokamak continues to be the most promising device for generating net power from nuclear fusion, reflected in the design of the next generation ITER device.
PS Even Slovenian death furnaces are very efficient.

It sure beats Slovenia's method which involves throwing gypsies mixed with coal into furnaces.

Back in the 1960s they used to predict that we'd have working commercial fusion power plants by 1980.
After that, commercial fusion power has always been "just 20 years away", whenever fusion power gains interest it's predicted to be in use by n+20, where n is the year of prediction. In 1970s, it would've been in use by 1990s; in 80s by 2000s; in 90s by 2010s. There's never any need to be worried about nuclear power because it's always to be replaced by fusion in 20 years' time!

Ford actually had a nuclear powered car in the works back in the 50s called the Fored Nucleon.
Imagine bin Laden & co armed with that car.

which makes me think practical fusion is impossible. I just can't see how they can make is self sustainable and controllable at the same time.
