The Perhapsatron was an early fusion power device based on the pinch concept in the 1950s, “conceived” by James Tuck whilst working at Los Alamos. The 1958 refined model was designated “S-4” – at the precise time that the C.I.A. started construction of Area 51 and Papoose Lake (“The S-4 Facility”).
This is the abstract from the following document:
Conner, J. P., Hagerman, D. C., Honsaker, J. L., Karr, H. J., Mize, J. P., Osher, J. E., Phillips, J. A., and Stovall, Jr, E. J.. Operational characteristics of the stabilized toroidal pinch machine, Perhapsatron S-4. United States: N. p., 1958. Web.
The Perhapsatron S-4 machine has a quartz torus, 14.0-cm minor inside diameter, 218-cm mean circumference, and wall thickness 0.6 cm. An aluminum primary, 1.25-cm thick surrounds the quartz torus with minimum spacing, ~0.4 cm, and can be energized by 90,000 joules, 20 kv at two feed points, permitting a maximum electric field of 150 volts/cm. A two-ton iron core (laminations 0.002-inch thick) links the primary and secondary and has a rating of 0.2 volt-sec. A solenoid, 1.6 turns per cm, wound around the primary is energized by a 2400 {mu} capacitor at voltages up to 3 kv and produces an axial B/sub z/ magnetic field up to 4000 gauss. A split in the aluminum primary allows rapid B/sub z/ field penetration. The typical behavior of gas current and secondary voltage at 25 kv is shown. The current voltage phase relation shows that the gas current is largely inductance limited and not resistance limited as observed in PS-3. After gas breakdown ~ 80% of the condenser voltage appears around the secondary in agreement with the ratio of source and load inductances. The rate of rise of gas corrent at first is large, ~ 1.3 x 10/sup 11/ amps/sec, until the gas current contracts to cause an increase in inductance at which time the gas current is a good approximation to a sine curve. The gas current maximum is found to rise linearly with primary voltage, deviating as expected at the higher voltages because of iron core saturation. At the discharge current maximum, the secondary voltage is not zero, and if one assumes that there is no large change of inductance, the total resistance of the discharge (R = V/I) is computed to be ~28 milliohms.

The quartz torus held the isotope of hydrogen known as deuterium, which has one proton, one neutron, and one electron. The deuterium was in its gaseous phase and the deuterons were accelerated by an induced electric field.
Was the S-4 a primitive attempt by Los Alamos National Laboratory to emulate the propulsion system found in the ULAT-1 from the Roswell crash?
Consider then the description of the propulsion system of ULAT-1, one of the objects that crashed at Roswell in July 1947 and described in Gen. Nathan Twinings’ “White Hot” report:

Notice the description of “oddly arranged coils”, similar to the image of the Perhapsatron S-4?
Another Majestic Document, the Air Accident Report by Twining to Headquarters, gives a further description of the powerplant:

“A doughnut shaped tube approximately thirty-five feet in diameter, made of what appears to be a plastic material, surrounding a central core….This tube is translucent, approximately one inch thick. The tube appearred to be filled with a clear substance, possibly a heavy water. A large rod centered inside the tube, was wrapped in a coil of what appears to be a copper material, ran through the circumference of the tube. This may be the reactor control mechanism or a storage battery. There were no moving parts observable within…”

The image was part of a presentation on the excellent UFO Mystery Podcast channel that Roger has created. Notice that the secondary coils appear to be inside the torus – this may be the result of a nuclear cold fusion process that actually produces electricity without the heat and radiation accompanied by our present nuclear fusion capabilities. This electrical power may then be used to create large, monopolar magnetic fields within the craft body itself and form an integral part of the propulsion system, as discussed here:

By a strange “coincidence”, the Perhapatron S-4 was developed around that time the Central Intelligence Agency’s Deputy Director of Plans, Richard Bissell, was turning the first sod at a Top Secret location adjacent to the Nevada Test Site that would later be known to the world as Area 51.
By July 1955, the base was ready and personnel from the CIA, Air Force, and Lockheed began to arrive.*“
