Does this mean the Helion did get their money and is now building the phase II break even device? Then we should know in 21...

LiS has been around/researched for awhile. Various types have been tried since the beginning of the eighties. However, theese electrode materials are brand new. From last year. This kind of energy density is pretty good, actually, given other LiS I've read about. However, it is wise to ask question...
