Hmm, a little goggling gives a hint this may not be BS after all.
I am unclear on the exact methods, but there appears to be existing research into generating a plasma "pinch" via compression of aluminium around a core of detrinium-tritium. This generates a massive magnetic-flux (which seems to be a result of actual fusion during the compression) and if it is held in a magnetic cage with an out at the back, you have propulsion.
