Some brilliant investor-speak from Helion's FAQ:
"A handful of organizations have performed bulk fusion, where a large volume of particles reaches temperatures high enough for fusion to occur on a large scale. [...] none of the organizations that have managed to do bulk fusion have done it in a practical way that can be used to make electricity."
- smaddox 5y agoSeems pretty straightforward and accurate to me. Helion is already re-capturing most of the energy from each pulse. I'm not aware of a single other approach that has demonstrated direct conversion from plasma energy to electric energy.
- p1mrx 5y agoHint: The United States first demonstrated bulk fusion in 1952.
