popularmechanics | The elusive engineer behind several highly unusual
patents, filed on behalf of the U.S. Navy, has broken his silence and
finally spoken to the media. Salvatore Cezar Pais responded to emails sent by The War Zone,
but his answers bring us no closer to how the technology behind the
patents, which involve fusion power and other exotic tech, came about.
Dr.
Pais, formerly an aerospace engineer with Naval Air Systems Command/
Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division and now at the Navy’s
Strategic Systems Programs, recently achieved notoriety with the
publication of patents involving compact fusion reactor energy—truly wild stuff that stretches the limits of science—and a “hybrid aerospace-underwater craft.”
The two technologies combined could theoretically create a “UFO”-like craft similar to the one seen by U.S. Navy pilots in 2004 and 2014-15.
Although highly unusual, Naval Air Systems’ Chief Technology Officer
James Sheehy assured the U.S. Patent Technology Office (USPTO) that the
technology behind them was indeed real, and that some aspects were
already undergoing testing.
Pais recently published a paper in EEE Transactions on Plasma Science titled, “The Plasma Compression Fusion Device—Enabling Nuclear Fusion Ignition.”
The device is essentially a fusion reactor, the holy grail of energy
research. Fusion reactors promise cheap, limitless energy without
complications of nuclear power—particularly nuclear meltdowns and the
generation of nuclear waste.
