ding ding ding, a fusion reactor. I saw one at Lawrence Livermore labs once and asked some questions about it.
But they had accidentally given me my dad's security clearance and it turns out I had no business in that part of the facility. They were pissed but it was their screw-up, not mine. They still raked me over the coals.

BTW I asked the guy if it worked, he said nope, it was just a mock up. they haven't figured out how to make it work yet.
