How about a shark with a FRICKIN' laser beam attached to its head?

Must be springtime - the perennial stories about the fifty year "Twenty Year Project" of nuclear fusion are cropping up again, right on schedule.
I once owned stock in the defunct-since-1991 KMS Fusion in my home town of Ann Arbor, back when I was young and naiive. It took them three years and $2.5 million to decontaminate the building.

The goal is to create unimaginable heat -- 180 million degrees Fahrenheit (82 million Celsius) -- and intense pressure from all directions on a BB-size hydrogen fuel pellet, compressing it to one-thirtieth of its size.This is the kind of technology we need for campstoves. With this kind of heat output, a can of beans wouldn't take very long to heat up.

Cut the crap, Kent, you've built a weapon.

How did you know that?

Things you don't want to hear coming out of this lab:
"Oooops!"
"Let's see now, lefty-loosey, righty-tighty"
"I wonder what this switch does"

And it will produce laser fusion research grants so cheap, you won't have to meter them.

The trip will take one-thousandth of a second during which the light's energy is amplified many billions of times to create a brief laser pulse 1,000 times the electric generating power of the United States.How much energy over time are they talking here? Our nation's power output is 3,800 billion kWh yearly.
Still thats A LOT. I hope this works.

I'm guessing Art will claim it's a secret Pentagon project to shoot down UFOs.
