No one can generate enough energy with fusion at the moment. Even if Helion could do it today they would need to build a larger reactor and test that too. Then build the one for Microsoft. To do all of this in 4 years is pretty much impossible
- peutetre 2y agoHelion's reactors are smaller and simpler field reversed configuration reactors. They've built multiple prototypes over the last 11 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helion_Energy#Development_history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helion_Energy#Development_hist... The prototype currently under construction is Polaris. It's 25% larger than the previous prototype and they expect it to achieve net electricity production: https://www.helionenergy.com/polaris/ https://www.helionenergy.com/polaris/
