It is sometime said that nuclear power and nuclear bombs came as a complete

Sure. I can't imagine trying this without LENR. But I expect the people

Such a drone can replace a platoon of soldier in Afghanistan. A platoon is

Drones are large machines. The engine is about 100 HP in the Predator.

You would need close to a megawatt of heat to get 100 hp at low conversion
efficiency. Maybe this is why Rossi is working hard to miniaturize his core
unit to the size of a small note book or smaller.
