… in fact there’s some idle speculation that the lockmart device might actually be a polywell since emc2 doesn’t have the patent.

I think this is Pie in the Sky talk. Not a real on-going SkunkWorks project.

His talk does show a team, indicating that they have or had a group on it at some point. Their machine also looked pretty expensive. What I don’t get is how any manager could have possibly greenlighted a project like this that. Do they at all understand the similarities to what other people are doing? Do they really have a design tweak that gives them a chance diverse from the other approaches? Maybe they just think that their organization could put the resources into it to succeed when others couldn’t.
