Although only a meter and a half wide and two meters tall, an HPM is capable of producing 70 megawatts of thermal energy...

Can it be scaled down to individual household size, or motor vehicle engine size? I'd love a nuke powered steam turbine to power my electric roadster!

I will wait for the ZPM, thanks.

Incredibly possibilities for this. I looked at all the HUGE generators on the many FOBs all over Iraq (and Afghanistan, no doubt) and just a couple of these could replace all of them in the BIAP complex alone! The money saved on maintenance, fueling and transportation of these connex-sized generators would be tremendous.

And that’s just a basic military application.
