Complete BS (Score: 2, Insightful) by fnj@pipedot.org on 2015-03-24 10:13 (#5KX8) 1. This is not anything like a force field2. Force fields are Star Trek, not Star Wars3. This obviously won't work anywayFirst Lockheed pretends they can do fusion "any day now"; now Boeing thinks they can magically block explosions.

I'd like to see proof of it working, or a more in depth discussion of the physics and engineering involved. It kind of sounds like it would need a lot of electrical energy, which may render it unfeasible in the field.
