I love these guys and gals. Just knocking down the engineering goals one after another. It's been a lot of fun watching their progress over the years. If they told me "we're going to build a energy producing stellarator in 5 years" I'd actually believe them. :-).

Give them the funding and they would love to start .. But there is a german fusion startup about to build a stellarator. https://www.proximafusion.com/about https://www.proximafusion.com/about (I assumed there was some sort of cooperation with Wendelstein, but found no mentioning of such on a quick look now)

  They do cooperate and Jorrit Lion, co-founder of Proxima Fusion, was studying in Greifswald for Wendelstein 7-X, also see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0920379625000705 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S092037962...

    But they somehow avoid making a visible cooperation reference on the main page, like they do for other research institutions like Jülich. (Or I missed it.) But sure, they definitely reference it in the text, also on the main page. Maybe there are complicated legal reasons for it.
