It wants to shoot out in all kinds of different directions.

So they realized that's actually probably not the best benefit.

Instead, let's go back to the linear reactor, which is just a tube.

And sure, particles are gonna shoot out the back, but that's fine.

We're gonna use that for propulsion.

So instead of looking at it as a bad thing, as a waste, they said, ah, we can use this

And now you can turn that into an air-breathing drone where the fuel is the air itself.

All the hydrogen we need is in the air.

All we have to have is a little bit of seed gas, maybe boron-11, helium-3, one of our fuels that we use for fusion.

And so absolutely, Lockheed Martin must have built this reactor.

The question you're asking is, are they transmedium?

And how many mediums can they transmit between?

This is a really interesting question.

Water, air, no problem.

Plenty of hydrogen to extract, to turn into a plasma to use as your fuel.

But space, turns out Robert Boussard, his ramjet engine, his whole idea was it was going to be an interstellar craft.

So where was the hydrogen going to come from, though?

There's not enough hydrogen in space.

The idea was going to be a huge net, miles-wide net that would absorb enough hydrogen.

And the more hydrogen you could pull into this net, this funnel, the faster the craft would be able to fly in outer space.
