the power density of Defkalion hyperion, is about 5kW for 10g of powder, 5kg of reactor, plus pipes,pump and bottle (should be negligible if well integrated and MW sized)...
45MW mechanic, imply 150-200MW thermal, so about 200ton of reactor, plus turbines. it is not far from the current total weight of that plane... so there should be work to make the reactor lighter, but you don't compare a marine diesel engine with a jet engine. With good engineering, they could make a reactor much below 50tons. if miniaturization is a success, 90MW mech. for takeoff could be possible, or maybe hybrid (electric/lenr, or jet/lenr). so not impossible, but much work. 2012/4/22 Eric Walker <eric.wal...@gmail.com> > > On Sun, Apr 22, 2012 at 1:00 AM, Axil Axil <janap...@gmail.com> wrote: > > It can be extremely useful to incorporate 45 megawatts of LENR power into >> a stealth aircraft. >> >> >> >> This capability will allow the stealth aircraft designer a true UFO like >> performance via a hybrid ion jet engine. >> > > How would you get a 45 MW LENR reactor into a stealth aircraft?
