Whats people's opinion on this?
It claims Rory Johnson invented a 525 HP from Laser (Defraction Prism) Activated Motor that had a range of 100,000 mi. Operating on 2 lbs of deuterium and gallium.

I know a little more about the fate of this engine, as modified. It was eventually put into a small car.

Here is a pic:

The more sweeping the claim, the more suspicion and scrutiny [and not attraction] it ought to generate. To put oneself in a proper frame of mind, a good place to start is to address such claimants as "Dr. Zweistein".

At the point where he takes a working version on a no-refuel cross-country tour, let me know. This sort of stuff generates lots of babble in non-peer-reviewed sources, but never seems to result in working prototypes, just calls for investment

The article is a crock. I have one of those motors, and I have never gotten more than 85,000 mi. out of 2 lbs of deuterium and gallium.

This man would have been my Father In Law if he were alive to meet him. This definitely is all true and there is much more behind the true story that his sons could tell you about. All developed without a formal education, but isn’t that true about a lot of the great inventors...
