I always thought this a pretty cool video, I gather the power output, I'd read was somewhere on the order of a gigawatt, I never understood why not wasn't revived, as I'd said, you know? Of course, that was in the 50s and 60s, obviously, when this was filmed....

Capt Daniel Goodman Is there not supposed to be any sound? I mean the video is an interesting demo without the sound, just curiousity.

Sometimes, I'd noticed on some copies, the sound was left off, I've heard versions with it, there might be others that have it, if I can find one, I'll try to send it....
