www.extremetech.com/extreme/191754-cold-fusion-reactor-verified-by-third-party-researchers-seems-to-have-1-million-times-the-energy-density-of-gasoline

ignore wikipedia. unfortunately, one of the wiki super users has a hard on against anything cold fusion and uses his powers to remove anything positive IMMEDIATELY and only allow posts that make it look like bunk. one of the reasons I dont generally support wikipedia.

Or cos they might be right to debunk it! Let's be honest, if this was remotely true, the media would be ALL over it, cos it's the damn holy grail of energy at the mo!
There have been a few energy scams lately, 'verified by third party' that were actually involved, either financially or academically invested. (Can't find links to examples right now, sorry. One was in Australia, another in India, another in US, off top of my head. All in last 3years or so).

Also, we do have nuclear power in satellites at the mo, but as the power source, not for thrust. Just so you know. It's a known use for alpha radiation sources. =) (amazing the crap you need to know to teach kids these days)

Never trust anyone whose middle name is 'The'.

Russia is building a standard stationary plasma thrusters, today the main engine to maintain the orbit of heavy satellites. If such motor powered with electricity from a nuclear reactor, we get the project Russian Space Agency "nuclear interorbital tug." But it projects for interplanetary missions or lifting from low to high orbits, not to launch into space.

mg: Does Minerva have any social media? Something like twitter or facebook? I might have a plot detail for Admin to use. It's based on a true story if you're interested. Jun 22, 2016 0:02:20 GMT

Admin: At first I thought you meant our social media accounts XD But yeah, Minerva would have a variety of social medias and stuff Jun 27, 2016 21:34:26 GMT
